Multimodal Assesment of Alzheimer Patients
The goal of this study is to learn more about the changes in the brains of patients with cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's Disease (AD). The main questions the study aims to answer are: What findings can be used to earlier detect patients that will develop Alzheimers? Which differences are …
Intervention to Collect and Utilize Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) Information in Hospice
Older sexual and gender minority (SGM) patients are at risk for receiving inequitable end-of-life care; those with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) are at particularly high risk. Failure to collect and integrate sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) data to identify patients' informal support systems may have adverse health …
Saliva and Extracellular Vesicles for Neurodegenerative Diseases
Early diagnosis of Neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) and accurate patient profiling are key goals needed to tailor prompt personalized therapeutic strategies that can significantly impact disease progression and patients' quality of life. The project will validate a novel, cost-effective and quick biophotonic-based method for early and differential diagnosis of NDDs (Parkinson's …
BEAM: Brain-Eye Amyloid Memory Study
The main objectives for this study are: To investigate novel, non-invasive ocular measurements including optical coherence tomography and eye tracking in a cross-sectional study of participants with various neurodegenerative dementias against standard cognitive assessments and brain imaging measures; and To assess the potential utility of ocular assessments for early detection …
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.
Application of AI Technology for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Geriatric Diseases
Characteristics of handwriting, gait, speech, eye movements, biological samples (blood, urine, stool, saliva, etc.), images, EEG, and other relevant markers in patients with Alzheimer's disease. (2) Characteristics of handwriting, gait, language, eye movement, biological samples (blood, urine, stool, saliva, etc.), imaging, EEG, and other relevant markers in patients with Parkinson's …
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).
Validation of a Novel Self-Administered Cognitive Assessment Tool (CogCheck) in Patients With Mild and Major Neurocognitive Disorder Predominantly Due to Alzheimer's Disease
Due to the demographical development, age-related diseases will drastically increase over the next decades. To face this healthcare challenge, early and accurate identification of cognitive impairment is crucial. The assessment of neurocognitive functioning ideally requires a tool that is short, easy to administer and interpret, and has high diagnostic accuracy. …
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 …
