Decoding Death and Dying in People With Dementia by Digital Thanotyping
How can healthcare professionals recognize that a person with dementia is at the end of life? When people are dying, their physical, mental, and social abilities are gradually declining. No reliable method of predicting perceived dying currently exists although the technology is available (sensors, algorithms). The aim of Decoding Death …
Cognition and NeuroImaging in neuroDegenerative Disorders (CogNID)
This prospective study aims: to compare cognitive performance in different clinical groups of participants with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or mild dementia [Alzheimer's Disease (AD), Vascular Cognitive Impairment (VCI) and Fronto-temporal Dementia (FTD)] to determine whether scores reveal differential profiles between the groups, to demonstrate differences in imaging markers between …
Dynamic Light Scattering Ocular Measurement in the Detection of Dementia
This is a human clinical study making a noninvasive measurement from a patient's eye to determine whether there is a quantitative difference in measurements between patients with and without the diagnosis of dementia.
Studies of Brain and Body Interaction
The goal of this study is to characterize biophysiolgoical signals as a comprehensive profile of the nervous systems in order to understand interactions between the brain and body, while an individual performs naturalistic behaviors (ex. walking, pointing) and while breathing at a slow controlled pace. The investigators aim to study …
Family Interventions iN Dementia Mental Health Environments
Study Goal: Understand carers' needs when someone with dementia is in a mental health ward and develop strategies to support carers as partners in care. Research Questions: What are mental health wards like in terms of staff, patients, and current carer support? What do carers experience and need during admission, …
In Vivo PET of Synaptic Density in Cognitive Disorders
This study will compare the discriminative power of [18F]-SynVesT-1 PET and the standard-of-care [18F]-FDG PET in different cognitive disorders (Alzheimer's disease, Frontotemporal degeneration, dementia with Lewy bodies and late-life psychiatric disorders). Moreover, changes in [18F]-SynVesT-1 PET will be evaluated as well as their correlation with specific symptomatology.
Impact of COVID-19 Vaccines on Cerebrovascular Health
Safe and effective severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccines may reduce the transmission of and achieve population immunity against the COVID-19 pandemic, which accounted for more than 3.75million deaths worldwide. With World Health Organization's (WHO) effort on ensuring equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines, vaccination rate may increase in …
Arlington Longitudinal Optimal Healthy Aging Study (ALOHA)
The Arlington Longitudinal Optimal Healthy Aging (ALOHA) Study is a community-based research project led by the Marymount University Center for Optimal Aging (MCOA). The study is designed to help older adults in the Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia (DMV) area maintain independence, mobility, wellbeing and brain health as they age. …
Multimodal Ophthalmic Imaging and Plasma Biomarkers for the Early Detection of Alzheimer's Disease
With the accelerating global aging population, dementia has become a pressing worldwide issue. This project aims to identify specific plasma biomarkers and ocular indicators for the early detection of Alzheimer's disease (AD).
A Music-Based Mobile App for People Living With Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD)
The purpose of this pilot is to develop a mobile application that detects physiological measures of individuals with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias and triggers auto-play of personalized songs in a wearable device. The investigators will test the feasibility and acceptability of the app. This app may be an important …
