Early Detection of Alzheimer's Disease and Affective Disorders by Automated Voice and Speech Analysis (PLATA)
PLATA aims to develop an algorithm to identify vocal biomarkers of Alzheimer's dementia. Using data collected as part of routine care, speech patterns will be compared to known biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease, such as amyloid 1-42 and p-Tau in CSF (cerebrospinal fluid). If biomarkers of speech can be identified in …
The Clinical Study of Synaptic Plasticity-based Lencanumab for the Treatment of Early Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's disease (AD) manifests itself in cognitive decline, impaired ability to perform daily life, and a variety of behavioral and psychiatric symptoms, seriously endangering the health of the elderly. The prevalence and disability rates of AD in China remain high, and the lack of effective treatment options has brought a …
The Immune Response to Stroke
Some patients develop cognitive decline after a stroke, but we don't always understand the mechanisms. It has been proposed that a proportion of the patients develop an autoimmune immune response, and that this could potentially explain the cognitive decline in some of the patients. The current study aims to investigate …
Delirium Identification in Older Patients With Alzheimer's and Other Related Dementias In the Emergency Department
Delirium is highly prevalent and very bad for patients with dementia. Delirium is a dangerous medical condition that occurs in 6-38% of older Emergency Department patients and 70% of ICU patients. A person who develops delirium in the ED or hospital has a 12 times higher odds of being newly …
Vascular Cognitive Decline and Dementia
The ENIGMA study is a single-centre prospective clinical observational study with the aim to investigate vascular contributions to cognitive decline and dementia. By studying MRI-defined capillary dysfunction and EV profiles, the ENIGMA study links novel imaging and basic research techniques to a clinical cohort of stroke patients. With this study …
Study of Skin Microbiome in AD and PS Patients
Everybody's skin has bacteria that normally lives on it. Previous research has shown that people with eczema (or atopic dermatitis [AD]) have much higher concentrations of a certain bacteria (S. aureus), especially when their disease is active but little is known about the role that this bacteria plays in psoriasis …
Speech Pattern Evaluation and Analysis for Knowledge of AD
The goal of this observational study is to validate changes in speech as a measure of cognition in individuals at increased risk of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). This study aims to clarify how speech may be affected by Alzheimer's disease. Participants will complete speech collection sessions and a …
Objective Assessment of Behavioral Associations of Patients With Dementia
It is generally acknowledged that patients with dementia are best cared for at home. However, outbursts of various behavioral disturbances, e.g., combativeness, appear in most cases and often necessitate institutionalization. These outbursts are often without apparent warning, which limits preventive interventions. The measurement of the electrical activity of the skin …
Neuropsychological Assessment Of The Oldest-Old Population.(NEUROPSIC-GR)
Neuropsychological tests currently considered to evaluate the cognitive performance of the oldest-old population (more than 80 years) are not adapted to this group population. This trial aims to determine the normal limits for this group population of a set of 18 neuropsychological test. Results may improve the diagnostic cognitive evaluation …
Validity and Reliability of the Turkish Form of the Knowledge Assessment Scales for Dementia and Urinary Incontinence
The primary aim of the study was to determine the Turkish version of the "Validity and Reliability of the Knowledge Assessment Scales for Dementia and Urinary Incontinence in Community Older People". The secondary aim of the study was to measure the knowledge level of dementia and urinary incontinence in the …
