Evaluation of the Clinical Utility of Endoscopic Closure Using a Dual Action Tissue (DAT) Clip
This study is designed as a multicenter prospective data recording study to document the performance of the DAT clip as part of standard medical care of patients. No experimental interventions will be performed.
Advances in Telephone-based Cognitive Screening Procedures
Background Cognitive screening procedures via performance-based tests represent an essential, albeit preliminary, element within the diagnostic and interventional process as addressed to patients with chronic neurological disorders. Furthermore, in these populations, cognitive screening measures are often employed as outcomes in epidemiological settings, as well as endpoints in clinical trials. Therefore, …
Improving Prognostic Confidence in Neurodegenerative Diseases Causing Dementia Using Peripheral Biomarkers and Integrative Modeling
To develop a model to predict disease progression in a large cohort of patients across a variety of neurodegenerative diseases, including Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and dementia due to any neurodegenerative disease, including Alzheimer's Disease (AD), Lewy Body Disease (LBD), Vascular Disease (VaD) and Frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD).
Cognitive Leisure and Preclinical Alzheimer's Disease: Exploring Neural Mechanisms
The goal of this clinical trial is aims to: Translate and culturally adapt the Cognitive Leisure Activity Scale (CLAS) into Chinese and Conduct reliability and validity tests for the Chinese version of CLAS. Investigate the correlation between cognitive leisure activity levels and cognitive function in the preclinical stage of Alzheimer's …
Cardiac Amyloid Deposits and Heart Dysfunction in Alzheimer's Disease
This study seeks to explore the possible common pathogenesis of both cardiac amyloidosis and Alzheimer's disease, which can both be associated with amyloid deposits. Using Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans with amyloid tracers - a conventional tool for non-invasively imaging amyloid deposits in Alzheimer's disease - the research will extend …
Phase 2 - Rhythmic Light Therapy for Alzheimer's Disease Patients
Participants will randomly be placed into one of four groups and experience one of the four following conditions: (1) a placebo light that provides a 40 hertz (Hz) flicker (rhythmic light \[RL\]); (2) a placebo light with a random flicker (placebo condition for rhythmic light); (3) a light source that …
The Signature of Alzheimer's Disease in Subjective Cognitive Decline
This study focuses on improving early detection of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in patients with subjective cognitive decline (SCD), a preclinical stage of cognitive impairment, in the context of emerging disease-modifying therapies (DMTs). Current biomarkers, such as brain MRI, PET scans, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) markers, are highly accurate but costly, …
Connecting Caregivers With Community Services: The Care Buddy Platform
The study aims to develop a mobile-app (Care Buddy) which will be a one-stop integrated source of information and technology-based solutions for caregivers of people with dementia (PWDs). Study aims to bring caregivers into closer partnerships with the wider ecosystem (e.g., healthcare practitioners, community services, peer support, and care service …
Dementia in Fiction and Clinical Narratives
This study aims to compare the natural narrative language of patients with Alzheimer's disease and the fictional depictions of dementia in contemporary novels from both neurological and literary perspectives. It investigates the similarities and differences in the deterioration of semantic and episodic memory. The goal is to develop a cross-disciplinary …
Comparison of the Effectiveness of Treadmill-Based Walking and Dual-Task Walking Training in Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative condition that affects both cognitive and motor functions, making daily life activities more challenging. Motor functions, especially walking and balance, begin to deteriorate early in the disease and progress in parallel with cognitive decline. Dual-task performance, which refers to the ability to perform both motor …
