Frontotemporal degenerationFrontal temporal dementiaPick’s complexFrontotemporal lobar degenerationFrontal dementia In FTD, the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain are affected and atrophy (shrink) in size.

The last movie Clooney directed, “Good Night, and Good Luck,” was an urgent tribute to journalistic integrity. Oddly, there isn’t a shred of urgency about “Leatherheads.” Nothing much is at stake: the romantic triangle is no contest from the get-go and Lexie’s ambition, heavily built up in Duncan Brantley and Rick Reilly’s script, is pretty much forgotten about. “Leatherheads” also wants us to mourn the passing of the anarchic, rough-and-tumble pro-football scene before it became a rule-bound, efficient business, but Clooney exhibits so little interest in football that he forgets to show us what was so good about the good old gridiron days....

Brazilian attacker Jesus was visibly upset on the sidelines and had to be consoled by head coach Pep Guardiola, before Sergio Aguero replaced him in the 23rd minute . Initial suspicions were that it could be a cruciate knee injury, similar to those suffered by team-mates Benjamin Mendy and Ilkay Gundogan, and he is reported to have left Selhurst Park on crutches. Later on, De Bruyne was clattered by Jason Puncheon as Man City counterattacked following Luka Milivojevic’s saved penalty and his injury could also see him sidelined for a significant chunk of time....
