Digital Accessible Remote Olfactory Mediated Health Assessments for Preclinical AD
The goal of this study is to objectively test one's sense of smell, called olfaction, in participants with Subjective Cognitive Concerns (SCC), Mild Cognitive Impairment, Mild Behavioral Impairment (MBI), and age-matched controls. The main question it aims to answer is whether the AROMHA Brain Health Test could serve as a …
A Digital Life Story to Support Person-centred Care for Older Adults With Dementia Perspectives
Person-centred care can be supported when healthcare professionals access and actively use the information recorded in a life story. Active use of the life story can create security for a person with dementia and their carers. The written life story describes the person and their life experiences, which can define …
Autoimmune Dementia: Predictors of Neuronal Synaptic Antibodies in Patients With New-ONset Cognitive Impairment
The goal of this observational study is to investigate the frequency and the possible pathogenic role of neuronal synaptic antibodies (NSAb) in patients with cognitive impairment (CI). The main questions it aims to answer are: the frequency and associated features of NSAb in patients with CI and the usefulness of …
Neurofrailty: A Study of Late-onset Epilepsy and Its Associations
We don't know a great deal about why some people develop seizures in adulthood, but some researchers think that it might tell us something about the brain. A small number of people with first seizure in adulthood go on to experience problems like stroke or dementia later in life. However, …
Mechanisms of Increased Disease Severity in AD Patients With the IL-4Ra R576 Polymorphism
This protocol is primarily looking to see if the IL-4Ra R576 polymorphism is associated with increased clinical, immunological and microbial markers of disease activity in patients with Atopic dermatitis.
Vascular mEchanisms in, Stroke, dePression, dementiA, and deliRum: The VESPAR Project
The goal of this observational study is to determine the feasibility of using integrated Transcranial Doppler Ultrasonography or Near Infrared Spectroscopy to detect changes in cerebral autoregulation and neurovascular coupling in healthy, stroke, dementia, depression and delirium populations. We also aim to: Determine the optimal stimulus for neurovascular coupling To …
White Matter Distortion and Dementia Biomarkers in Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH)
Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a progressive condition of the elderly that results in severe disability. iNPH can dramatically respond to Cerebral spinal fluid(CSF)-shunting where excess ventricular fluid is diverted from the brain. Not all patients with iNPH respond to CSF-shunting however. The reasons for this are uncertain. Aim …
Validation Of The Flemish Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) For Persons With Hearing Impairment
The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is a screening test for detecting cognitive impairment that assesses several cognitive domains (attention and concentration, arithmetic and orientation, memory, etc.). The instructions as well as some test items of the MoCA are presented auditory (spoken). Consequently, performance on the MoCA may be co-dependent on …
Investigating Complex Neurodegenerative Disorders Related to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia
Background Neurodegenerative disorders can lead to problems in movement or memory. Some can cause abnormal proteins to build up in brain cells. Researchers want to understand whether these diseases have related causes or risk factors. Objective To test people with movement or thinking and memory problems to see if they …
Sleep and Circadian Rhythm Biomarkers of Postoperative Delirium
The goal of this prospective cohort study is to assess potential differences in sleep biomarkers in older adult patients undergoing major orthopedic surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: To define sleep/circadian biomarkers of delirium (sleep duration, regularity, stability and timing of rhythm) in a prospective observational study. …
