Genetic Frontotemporal Dementia Initiative for Neurodevelopment
This is an international multi-centre cohort study of first and second degree family members of individuals who carry Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) mutations in MAPT, GRN or C9ORF72 repeat expansions for youths between the ages 9-17.
Digital Accessible Remote Olfactory Mediated Health Assessments for Preclinical AD
The goal of this study is to objectively test one's sense of smell, called olfaction, in participants with Subjective Cognitive Concerns (SCC), Mild Cognitive Impairment, Mild Behavioral Impairment (MBI), and age-matched controls. The main question it aims to answer is whether the AROMHA Brain Health Test could serve as a …
MDD(Mild Cognitive Impairment Delirium Dementia) Cohort
Identify the degree of delirium in subjects with mild cognitive impairment and find the risk factors of delirium. Mortality, hospital stay, and medical expenses are analyzed as clinical consequences related to delirium incidence. Dementia conversion rate and conversion period of subjects with mild cognitive impairment with delirium and it identifies …
A Digital Life Story to Support Person-centred Care for Older Adults With Dementia Perspectives
Person-centred care can be supported when healthcare professionals access and actively use the information recorded in a life story. Active use of the life story can create security for a person with dementia and their carers. The written life story describes the person and their life experiences, which can define …
Autoimmune Dementia: Predictors of Neuronal Synaptic Antibodies in Patients With New-ONset Cognitive Impairment
The goal of this observational study is to investigate the frequency and the possible pathogenic role of neuronal synaptic antibodies (NSAb) in patients with cognitive impairment (CI). The main questions it aims to answer are: the frequency and associated features of NSAb in patients with CI and the usefulness of …
Biomarkers of Dementia in Chronic Sleep and Breathing Disorders
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and overlap syndrome are associated with obstructions in breathing and disturbed sleep. Chronic breathing disruptions and poor sleep may lead to cognitive impairment and brain changes linked with early neurodegenerative processes. As such, identifying early markers of cognitive impairment and dementia …
Neurofrailty: A Study of Late-onset Epilepsy and Its Associations
We don't know a great deal about why some people develop seizures in adulthood, but some researchers think that it might tell us something about the brain. A small number of people with first seizure in adulthood go on to experience problems like stroke or dementia later in life. However, …
Mechanisms of Increased Disease Severity in AD Patients With the IL-4Ra R576 Polymorphism
This protocol is primarily looking to see if the IL-4Ra R576 polymorphism is associated with increased clinical, immunological and microbial markers of disease activity in patients with Atopic dermatitis.
Vascular mEchanisms in, Stroke, dePression, dementiA, and deliRum: The VESPAR Project
The goal of this observational study is to determine the feasibility of using integrated Transcranial Doppler Ultrasonography or Near Infrared Spectroscopy to detect changes in cerebral autoregulation and neurovascular coupling in healthy, stroke, dementia, depression and delirium populations. We also aim to: Determine the optimal stimulus for neurovascular coupling To …
White Matter Distortion and Dementia Biomarkers in Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH)
Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a progressive condition of the elderly that results in severe disability. iNPH can dramatically respond to Cerebral spinal fluid(CSF)-shunting where excess ventricular fluid is diverted from the brain. Not all patients with iNPH respond to CSF-shunting however. The reasons for this are uncertain. Aim …
