New CSF Biomarkers for Alzheimer's Disease
Today, the Alzheimer's disease (AD) diagnosis is founded not only on clinical criteria but also on complementary examinations to confirm a physiopathological process of AD. In complex cases, lumbar punction could be necessary in order to measure Aβ peptides and Total and phosphorylated Tau but new biomarkers could be useful. …
Development of Measures to Screen for Financial Hardship in Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia
Alzheimer's Disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD) are common and debilitating conditions. Financial hardship, a multidimensional construct of financial strain, financial stress and asset depletion, is common in AD/ADRD due to exorbitant out-of-pocket spending such as for long-term care, lower work productivity and income for their caregivers that can last for …
Contributions of mTBI to Neurodegeneration Due to Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) and Alzheimer's Disease (AD)
This is a research study that aims to examine whether Veterans with mild Traumatic Brain Injuries are at risk for dementia by studying their memory, brain wave activity, brain structure and proteins that can be elevated after brain injury and in dementia.
Multidisciplinary Expert System for the Assessment & Management of Complex Brain Disorders
The Multidisciplinary Expert System for the Assessment & Management of Complex Brain Disorders (MES-CoBraD) is an interdisciplinary project combining Real-World Data (RWD) from multiple clinical and consumer sources through comprehensive, cost-efficient, and fast protocols towards improving diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic outcomes in people with Complex Brain Disorders (CoBraD), as reflected …
Exploring Biomarkers in Age Stratified PUMCH Dementia Cohort
Biomarkers are important for early and precise diagnosis of dementia. However, the causes of dementia in different age are different. We designed an age stratified dementia cohort and tried to explore biomarkers of different groups of dementia, incorporating neuropsychology, multi-model neuroimaging, metabolics and proteomics based fluid biomarkers as well as …
PUMCH Dementia Longitudinal Cohort Study
The PUMCH Dementia Cohort is a hospital-based, observational study of Chinese elderly with cognitive impairment.
Westlake Longevity Cohort
The Westlake Longevity Cohort (We-Longevity) is a prospective cohort study among centenarians, nonagenarians, senior citizens and their family members up to three generations living in Lishui, China. The primary aim of this cohort is to characterize the multi-omics molecular characteristics of healthy longevity and their dynamic trajectories. Another aim of …
Clinical Applicantion of Multi-Tracer PET/MR Imaging in Neurological Disorders/Disease
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the application of domestic PET/MR in major brain diseases. The main questions it aims to answer are: Overcome the bottleneck of early accurate diagnosis and treatment in major brain diseases clinical practice. Promote the clinical application of domestic PET/MR, enhance …
Gait as Predictor of Dementia and Falls. The Gait and Brain Cohort Study
Motor slowing and cognitive slowing are more prevalent as we age. Importantly, the presence of both in an older person increases their risk of having dementia by ten times. Currently, there are no clinically meaningful predictors of progression to dementia in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The main hypothesis …
Tennessee Alzheimer's Project
The primary objective of the Vanderbilt Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (VADRC) is to provide local and national researchers with access to a well-characterized and diverse clinical cohort, including participant referrals, biosamples, clinical data, and neuroimaging data. The VADRC Clinical Core will create an infrastructure to support research efforts of both …
