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 …
Kinematics of Movements Provoked by an Augmented Reality App
Introduction: Home-based rehabilitation has the potential to reduce healthcare costs. However, due to less supervision in the home situation, it is possible that movements are made incorrectly. Therefore it is important to gain insight in which movements are made with a home-based rehabilitation system and what effects instructions could have …
Tau PET in Imaging and Cognition: Healthy Adults From 55-90
The investigators aim to use the new PET radioligand, 18F-MK-6240, to detect tau pathology in cognitive healthy and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) elders. The investigators will then examine the interactions between differential tau burden and performance on cognitive tasks, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) neural activation patterns, and other cognitive …
Impact of Extreme Heat on Myocardial Blood Flow and Flow Reserve in Young and Older Adults
Extreme heat causes a disproportionate number of hospitalizations and deaths in older adults relative to any other age group. Importantly, many hospitalizations and deaths are primarily due to cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction. Previous data indicate that older adults have attenuated skin blood flow and sweating responses when exposed …
The Proportion of Dietary Protein Digested as Measured by the Dual-isotope Method.
The retrospective cohort study will compare the prevalence of sarcopenia and associated factors between older patients who have undergone bariatric surgery and older patients with obesity without previous bariatric surgery.
Life After Sport: Prior Injury and Sedentary Behavior as Mechanisms of Later Poor Health
Competitive sport increases risk for musculoskeletal injury (e.g., traumatic knee injury) and may position former athletes for early onset of chronic diseases, chronic pain, poor health-related quality of life, and disability. Quantifying function in former athletes with and without a prior injury and non-athlete controls is critical to understanding long-term …
Movement and Behaviours Measurement Study
There are few studies that already have validated specific raw accelerometer cut-points for people over 65 years old. The purpose of the present study is to validate raw accelerometer cut points for general people over 65 years old and specific raw accelerometer cut points based on the functional status of …
Swallowing Impairments in Adults With and Without Alzheimer's Disease
This research study is investigating whether people with Alzheimer's disease (AD) experience more changes to swallowing than their healthy age-matched peers. The prevalence of swallowing impairments in moderate-severe AD is high (85-93%), yet little is known about how swallow function evolves throughout the disease course in people with AD. The …
Influence of Brain Oscillation-Dependent TMS on Motor Function
Background When people have a stroke, they often have difficulty moving their arms and hands. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can improve how well people with and without stroke can move their arms and hands. But the effects of TMS are minor, and it doesn t work for everyone. Researchers want …
Study on Blood Pressure Variability and Frailty in the Older People
Observational prospective single-center, non-profit study. Primary objective of the study: To determine if the hypotensive phenotype, defined as one episode of daytime systolic blood pressure (SBP) <90 mmHg (or two episodes of daytime SBP <90 mmHg, if mean 24 h SBP is <125 mmHg) detected at Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring …
