Quality of Life of the Patient and the Burden of the Caregiver in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy
Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a rare neurodegenerative disease from the parkinsonian syndrome group. PSP is characterised by the association of a non-doparesponsive parkinsonian syndrome with axial signs. The latter predominantly manifest as a psycho-motor slowness, an apathy and frontal executive deficits. Swallowing impairments may additionally provoke life-threatening situations. Today …
Utilisation of Health Services and Quality of Life in Patients With Atypical Parkinsonian Syndromes
The study will compare health care utilisation and quality of life for patients with progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal syndrome and multiple system atrophy in different parts of the region that our specialist clinic operates in with different services as well as in other regions with no specialist clinics. This study …
Facilitating Diagnostics and Prognostics of Parkinsonian Syndromes Using Neuroimaging
The goals of this study are: 1) to identify biomarkers using neuroimaging that are associated with progression rate using statistical methods, and 2) to identify biomarkers that are associated with the differential diagnosis of Parkinson's disease and atypical parkinsonism.
NMR Based Metabolomic Study of Serum Biomarkers in Patients With Parkinson's Disease and Atypical Parkinsonian Syndrome
At present, the diagnosis of Parkinsons disease(PD) mainly relies on clinical symptoms and is easily confused with atypical Parkinsonian syndrome(APS) in the early stages. There is an urgent need for reliable biomarkers. This project aims to use metabolomics technology based on proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to study the metabolomic …
Diagnosing Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration
To establish diagnostic tools to make an accurate clinical and pathological diagnosis of patients with clinical FTLD syndromes
Investigating Complex Neurodegenerative Disorders Related to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia
Background Neurodegenerative disorders can lead to problems in movement or memory. Some can cause abnormal proteins to build up in brain cells. Researchers want to understand whether these diseases have related causes or risk factors. Objective To test people with movement or thinking and memory problems to see if they …
Biomarkers in Parkinsonian Syndromes
This is a prospective observational study to identify biomarkers in parkinson syndromes. Patients with parkinsonian syndromes at the early stages of disease will be recruited and will be followed up until their established clinical diagnosis or for at least 5 years. In this population, imaging and wet biomarkers as well …
Gait Analysis in Neurological Disease
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether speed-dependent measures of gait can be identified in patients with neurological conditions that affect gait, particularly in subjects with parkinsonian disorders.
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).
