In-depth Analysis of Cholesterol Metabolism and Related Biomarkers in the Pathogenesis and Progression of the Disease in Neurodegenerative Dementias
The aim of the study is to evaluate the role of cholesterol in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative dementias. Hypercholesterolemia is a known risk factor for Alzheimer disease (AD), and oxysterols, the principal cholesterol metabolites, are involved in neuroinflammation, amyloid aggregation, and tau accumulation. Oxysterols will be measured in different biological …
Network-based biOmarker Discovery of Neurodegenerative Diseases Using Multimodal Connectivity
The aim of the NODAL clinical trial is to demonstrate the feasibility of new, low-cost, non-invasive biomarkers of neurodegenerative pathologies as early Alzheimer and Parkinson, based on the estimation of the multimodal connectome.
Predictors of Emergency Department Use in Frail Patients
When admitted to the emergency department (ED), elderly non-autonomous patients show high risk of adverse health outcomes. The prompt identification of ED use risk factors in such population is hence needed. While cognitive impairment is a known clinical risk factor, biomarkers of most prevalent dementias have been scarcely investigated as …
Transcranial Pulse Stimulation of the Brain
This study will investigate transcranial pulse stimulation (TPS) as a method of enhancing cognitive and neural function. The study team will apply this low intensity, magnetically pulse technology to key brain regions in a randomized, sham-controlled trial (RCT). The study will determine the magnitude of changes in cognitive function and …
Activity Tracking, Care Partner Co-participation, Text Reminders, Instructional Education, Video-Guided Physical Rehabilitation, and Exercise
This is a multi-methods two-arm, crossover, analyst-blinded randomized controlled trial with embedded qualitative interviews, enrolling 50 dyads (older adult-care partner). Participants will receive the ACTIVE intervention, which includes a Fitbit smartwatch, motivational text messages to engage in walking exercise, instructional educational videos, and virtual physical therapy sessions. Intervention components will …
Sleep Enhancement for Older Adults Living With Memory Loss And Their Care Partners
The purpose of this study is to determine if a 6-week videoconference intervention to teach skills to improve sleep is practical, acceptable, and helpful to persons living with memory loss, cognitive impairment, and/or dementia and care partners, individually or together.
Intervention to Collect and Utilize Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) Information in Hospice
Older sexual and gender minority (SGM) patients are at risk for receiving inequitable end-of-life care; those with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) are at particularly high risk. Failure to collect and integrate sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) data to identify patients' informal support systems may have adverse health …
Validation of a Digital Intervention to Rehabilitate Cognitive Resources
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the use of a digital cognitive rehabilitation system named RICORDO, that is flexible and capable of adapting the rehabilitation pathway according to the needs and capacity of the patients will prove effective for subjects with Subjective Memory Complaint or with …
A Study That Collects Participant Data and Biospecimens to Analyze Pathogenic Exosomes That Mediate Increased Vascular Dementia Risk in Individuals With Herpes Zoster.
The purpose of this observational research study is to study if patients with herpes zoster, also known as Shingles, have a higher risk of vascular dysfunction (problems with blood vessels, including stroke) and vascular dementia (problems with mental decline as a result of decreased blood flow to the brain) compared …
Neurologic Stem Cell Treatment Study
This is a human clinical study involving the isolation of autologous bone marrow derived stem cells (BMSC) and transfer to the vascular system and inferior 1/3 of the nasal passages in order to determine if such a treatment will provide improvement in neurologic function for patients with certain neurologic conditions. …
