The Peripheral Blood Multi-Omics Study on Sleep Loss
Sleep plays a role in cognitive processes such as memory processing, attention processing, and overall cognitive function. In recent years, the bidirectional relationship between sleep loss and aging, as well as related neurodegenerative diseases, has garnered widespread attention. Sleep disorders are a typical clinical manifestation of neurodegenerative diseases such as …
New Clinical Rehabilitation Approach for the Management of Falls Risks
Accidental falls in older adults are one of the world's major pubic health problem, because of their strong association with injuries and mortality rates. In Quebec, falls are responsible for a high rate of hospitalization (more than 1800 emergency department visits every day) and deaths (more than 10,000 in recent …
Inspiratory Muscle Strength Training in Chronic Kidney Disease
More than 80% of individuals with chronic kidney disease have concomitant hypertension and the majority fail to achieve blood pressure control <130/80 mmHg, leading to high risk of cardiovascular diseases and end-stage kidney disease. A stepwise combination of lifestyle modifications and drug therapy is recommended to lower blood pressure; however, …
Reducing Blood Pressure in Mid-life Adult Binge Drinkers
This study has two phases: Phase 1 is to examine blood pressure, microvascular function, and sympathetic nerve activity in mid-life adult binge drinkers vs. alcohol abstainers/moderate drinkers. Phase 2 is to examine the effect of 8-week aerobic exercise training on blood pressure, microvascular function, and sympathetic nerve activity in mid-life …
Improving Cognition of Older Adults in Community Housing
The I-COACH study will focus on seniors with mental health conditions who are living in senior community housing. This initiative proposes to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a 12-week integrated program of cognitive remediation (CR) in combination with social and physical activity using an open-label design. The program will …
The Role of Type 2 Diabetes on Skeletal Muscle Atrophy and Recovery Following Bed Rest in Older Adults
The goal of this study is to determine the impact of pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes on muscle atrophy during a period of bed rest and recovery of muscle mass, strength, and physical function following bed rest.
Lifestyle for the BRAin Health - Time Restricted Eating and Mindfulness
The study aims to evaluate the effects of a 9-month intervention combining yoga-based mindfulness techniques, cognitive training, and nutritional counseling on cognitive function, plasma markers of neurodegeneration (tau protein), physical fitness, and metabolism in older adults at increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.
Brain Research Assessing Impacts of Neurophysiological Processing Speed Training in Veterans
Older veterans with a history of mild brain trauma exhibit early cognitive challenges, especially in driving-related tasks. This is attributed to alterations in the brain's excitatory/inhibitory (E/I) balance. This pilot project investigates this phenomenon by leveraging electroencephalography (EEG) to measure parietal lobe alpha rhythms during visual attention tasks. The hypothesis …
Quality Contract: Prevention of Postoperative Delirium in the Care of Older Patients (QV-POD-2)
The project "QV-Delirium" is based on the decision of the Federal Joint Committee (G-BA) from 2017. The aim is to improve inpatient care for older patients who are undergoing inpatient surgery and thus to specifically reduce the postoperative risk of delirium. This is achieved through the implementation of evidence-based and …
Arlington Aging Study
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the mechanisms causing functional decline with age, using exercise science, neuroscience, and remote monitoring. Specific aims include: Aim 1: Advance knowledge of the biology of aging and its impact on the prevention, progression, and prognosis of disease and disability. Aim …
