The first step when you see a medical professional will be to receive a detailed clinical exam. Your doctor will assess your ability to read and to understand language, as well as your ability to speak and to effectively articulate your thoughts. In addition to examining your language and communication abilities, your doctor will do a full mental and neurological exam to assess for any other cognitive or brain-related abnormalities. Your doctor will ask you questions about how you are functioning in day-to-day life, and areas of your life that have been impacted by your condition. The reason that your doctor will ask so many questions and perform such a detailed exam is mainly to rule out the possibility of other conditions. If other areas of your life are affected, and if you show other signs of mental deterioration, you may have another condition such as Alzheimer's disease which has more widespread manifestations than simply affecting language and communication. Alzheimer's disease is the main disease that is confused diagnostically with progressive aphasia. The main difference between the two is that Alzheimer's disease is a widespread form of dementia that will negatively impact many areas of your life, such as memory, language and communication, knowing appropriate social behaviour, and being able to perform tasks required for day-to-day life. Progressive aphasia, on the other hand, presents as a decline only in language and communication abilities (it is only this area of the brain that is damaged, which differs from a more widespread form of dementia). Therefore, declines in function will ALL be related to language and communication issues, with little to no memory problems or other concerns. As part of the diagnostic process, you will most likely receive either a head CT scan or an MRI. This is because, in addition to ruling out other mental conditions, your doctor will want to rule out potential signs of a stroke or traumatic brain injury. This is best done with the combination of a neurological exam and imaging techniques (either CT or MRI). If your CT or MRI is consistent with the possibility of progressive aphasia, and your clinical exam supports this as well (i.e. your clinical exam shows mental deterioration associated with language and communication only, and affecting no other areas of your life), your doctor will assign you a diagnosis of progressive aphasia. It is key to understand that progressive aphasia cannot officially be diagnosed (i.e. proven) until the time of autopsy (that is, following death when doctors look at your brain and evaluate the specific areas of brain damage). Similarly, other forms of dementia such as Alzheimer's Disease also cannot be officially diagnosed until after death, at the time of autopsy. They are all "clinical diagnoses," meaning that your doctor will evaluate the imaging results (from CT or MRI) combined with your clinical signs and symptoms and assign you the best possible diagnosis that accounts for everything, as far as he or she can tell. This is also why regular follow-up exams are important, to see if any of your signs or symptoms change. For instance, if you initially presented to your doctor with only language and communication deficits, and subsequently begin experiencing significant memory loss and other cognitive problems, your diagnosis may be changed in light of the new symptoms you are experiencing.

Read the instructions on the box to find out what temperature this should be. In most cases, it will be around 350F (177C). You can use your own from-scratch recipe (white or yellow cake) if you prefer. In this case, preheat the oven to the temperature stated by the recipe. Grease two 8 or 9-inch (20.32 or 22.86-centimeter) cake pans. Line each pan with a circle cut from parchment paper. You need enough batter to make two 8 or 9-inch (20.32 or 22.86-centimeter) cakes. Most boxes will make enough batter to fill two pans. f you are using your own recipe, simply follow the instructions in the recipe. Check the back of your box to find out how many 8 or 9-inch (20.32 or 22.86-centimeter) pans it can fill. Make a second batch, if needed. Be sure to add the extra ingredients listed on the boxtypically, this will be eggs, water, and oil or melted butter. If you are using your own recipe, simply follow the instructions in the recipe. This will allow you to dye the cake different colors for a camo effect. If you are only looking to make a basic cake with camo frosting, skip this step. Set one of the bowls aside and leave it as-is. Color the remaining bowls green, brown, and black, using a separate color for each bowl. Start with teaspoon of food coloring, then add more if needed. Use a separate spoon for each bowl so that you don't mix colors. You can also stir a tiny amount of beige food coloring into the remaining white bowl if you'd like a little less contrast. Start with a few small blobs of black batter in both pans. Follow up larger blobs of brown, white, and green batter. Keep layering blobs in both pan simultaneously until the you have used up all the batter. Plan on filling each pan to of the way full. Once again, how long this takes depends on the type of cake mix or recipe you are using, so read the instructions carefully. In most cases, this will be about 40 minutes. The cakes are done if a toothpick poked into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in their pans for 10 to 15 minutes first, then remove them. Place the cakes onto a wire rack and let them finish cooling off. Be sure to remove the parchment paper circle if it is stuck to the cake. The cakes must be completely cool before you frost them; otherwise, the frosting will melt. Give the cakes a nicer finish by sawing off the top bump. Eat the scraps or turn them into cake pops.

Prepare the boxed cake mix following the instructions on the back. Divide the cake batter evenly between 4 bowls. Stir green, brown, and black gel food coloring into the divided batter. Alternate spooning different colors of batter into lightly greased pans. Bake the cakes in a pre-heated oven according to package directions. Allow the cakes to cool before removing them from the pans.

Cooking roast on the stove top allows the roast to absorb the flavored liquid. Excess fat prevents the meat from completely absorbing all of the flavoring. After trimming the fat from the roast, season the entire roast with pepper. The Dutch oven should generally be able to hold five quarts. Heat it to a medium-high temperature. Once the meat has browned, add 2 1/2 cups (567ml) of water, two beef bouillon cubes and a bay leaf to the Dutch oven until it boils. When the pot reaches a boil, cover the Dutch oven with a lid and simmer the eye round roast for 50 minutes over a low flame. While it simmers, the roast will become tender and infused with flavor. After 20 minutes, add chopped carrots, potatoes, celery, etc. to the pot. Heat the liquid to boiling and once it boils, reduce the heat and let it simmer for 30 more minutes. If you have a meat thermometer, take the roast off when it reads 135F (57.2C). If you do not have a meat thermometer, cut into the meat. If the inside is still red, keep cooking it until it is a nice pink color. Let the meat marinate in its juices, then slice the roast into thin portions.

Remove excess fat from the surface of the roast. Place a large Dutch oven on the stove. Place two teaspoons of oil (olive or salad) into the pot and add the roast. Add the other ingredients to the pot. If you would like to boil carrots and potatoes in the mixture with the roast, let the mixture and the roast simmer for 20 minutes. Remove the roast from the pot when it is done. Allow the eye round roast to sit for 15 minutes.
