Effect of Low-dose EsketaMine on dElirium in High-risk Elderly Patients uNdergoing elecTive Surgery (ELEMENT)
Delirium is an acutely occurred neurocognitive disorder characterized by fluctuating symptoms of inattention, altered consciousness and cognitive dysfunction. Delirium is reported to occur in 4% to 65% of postoperative patients depending on the population, and is especially common in older patients. Postoperative delirium is disturbing to patients and their families, …
Evaluating a National Person-Centered Training Program to Strengthen the Dementia Care Workforce
This project will compare two training models of an evidence-based online dementia care training program for direct care staff in assisted living to a waitlist control: 1) essentiALZ training and 2) essentiALZ training + Project ECHO. It will examine the extent to which each model is implemented and achieves its …
Annual Wellness Visits vs GRACE-augmented Annual Wellness Visits For Older Adults With High Needs - Phase 2
This study consists of three aims focused on examining the feasibility of adding the Geriatric Resources and Assessment for the Care of Elders (GRACE) model to structured Annual Wellness Visits (AWVs) to improve patient and caregiver outcomes and reduce hospitalizations in older adults with complex health needs. The objectives are …
Enhancing Attention and Wellbeing Using Digital Therapeutics
The goals of the proposed research are to first determine the minimal and/or optimal dose of a digital intervention required for cognitive enhancement, and then to examine the impact of several potential moderators of treatment effects (i.e., cognitive decline, AD polygenic hazard score, cardiovascular risk, and race/ethnicity). This knowledge gained …
Computerized Tests of Cognitive Decline in Presymptomatic Alzheimer's Disease
The investigators will study performance on computerized cognitive tasks in healthy participants of different ages to gather normative data for newly developed computerized cognitive tests. These tests are designed to permit the early detection of individuals at risk of age-related cognitive decline.
Evaluating Novel Healthcare Approaches to Nurturing and Caring for Hospitalized Elders
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the Hospital Elder Life Program (HELP) with a family-augmented version of HELP (FAM-HELP), that includes family members and care partners, for the prevention of delirium in older patients during hospital admission. The main objectives of the trial are the following: To …
Implementation of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation After Total Knee Arthroplasty
Patients experience dramatic quadriceps strength loss after total knee replacement, which contributes to persistent weakness and reduced long-term function after surgery. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) reduces quadriceps weakness and improves patient function after knee replacement, but it is drastically underused in rehabilitation practice. This randomized trial will examine the effectiveness …
Promoting Goals-of-Care Discussions for Patients With Memory Problems and Their Caregivers
The goal of this clinical trial is to improve communication among clinicians, patients with memory problems, and their family members. We are testing a way to help clinicians have better conversations to address patients' goals for their healthcare. To do this, we created a simple, short guide called the "Jumpstart …
Biological Aging Hallmarks-Guided Integrative TCM and Conventional Medicine in Post-Treatment Unexplained Female Infertility
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether telomere profiling and other biological aging hallmarks can help identify underlying mechanisms of persistent infertility in women with post-treatment unexplained infertility. The study also evaluates whether a personalized integrative treatment guided by these biomarkers can improve reproductive outcomes. The study …
Senescence and the Early Ageing Phenotype After Chemotherapy for Testicular Cancer: the SEA-CAT Study
Cisplatin-combination chemotherapy causes inevitably DNA damage by platinum-DNA adduct formation of both tumor cells but also healthy cells. It therefore stands to reason that testicular cancer treatment causes an increased burden of senescent cells, which causes upregulation of the SASP resulting in a pro-inflammatory phenotype. The investigators hypothesize that this …
