Filter by:This study aimed to clarify whether strength training or aerobic training could bring more benefits for patients with dementia, another study is to clarify whether isokinetic or isotonic training could bring more benefits for patients with mild cognitive impairment
The clinical evaluation of a patient with a cognitive complaint requires neuropsychological tests, evaluating the integrity of memory and other cognitive functions. The initial evaluation is made most often by a doctor (general practitioner). In case of need for further examination, a neuropsychological report is made in consultation memory by a neuropsychologist, with further cognitive tests. The Cognitive Neurology Center at Lariboisière Hospital - Fernand Widal has developed a tool on a digital tablet or smartphone to evaluate cognitive functions: MemScreen. The purpose of this study is to validate this new neuropsychological test on tablet compared to the neuropsychological reference tests.
The purpose of this study prospective observational study is to determine cognitive dysfunction incidence after thoracic surgery. We also evaluate evaluate the role of cerebral oxygen desaturations and hypertension as risk factors for post-operative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in patients undergoing lung resection.
The present study aims to investigate the effects of combined physical-cognitive training on cognitive function as well as peripheral BDNF level and mitochondrial function of individuals with MCI. It is hypothesized that: 1) the combined physical-cognitive training program will be superior to the physical and cognitive training program alone; and 2) the degree of cognitive improvement will be positively correlated with the improvement of plasma BDNF and mitochondrial function.
Marijuana use, for both recreational and therapeutic purposes, is becoming increasingly common as states remove restrictions on use. The increased use raises new concern about the safety of this drug, including its ability to impair basic cognitive and psychomotor tasks, and whether the users are aware of their impairment. We propose to design a simple performance test that users can use in the field, using a cell phone, to assess their level of impairment relative to their own drug-free state. In this preliminary study, we will compare participants' simple task performance after a known dose of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), or placebo, administered under double-blind conditions. In our app the participants will be asked to gauge their own perceived level of impairment (as determined by self-ratings and judgments of impairment) as well as their actual impairment (as gauged by the app), providing important feedback and training about their ability to detect impairment.
To assess the effect of glucose monitors on glucose control and cardiovascular risks.
This research study will evaluate the effectiveness and estimate the feasibility of administering an investigational drug called 'CN-105' (the study drug), to prevent postoperative cognitive decline, delirium (serious confusion) and underlying brain inflammatory and brain activity changes in adults 60 years and older undergoing surgery.
To assess whether a musical intervention (maternal/paternal singing) during the skin-to-skin sessions (Kangaroo care) would improve the language development of the preterm infant. Infants will be randomized to singing or silence during the Kangaroo care from the age corresponding to 30th gestational week until term age (40 gestational weeks).
Hip fracture is a potentially devastating event, and serious surgical and medical complications occur frequently especially for elderly patients. Delirium is one of the common complications after hip surgery. Controversy exists regarding the possible impact of type of anesthesia (nerve block versus spinal) upon acute and long-term cognitive decline. The primary objective is to assess the association between type of anesthesia (nerve block vs. spinal anesthesia) and risk of cognitive decline (CD). The secondary objective is to compare intra-operative hemodynamic changes, use of vasopressor drugs, and use of post-operative analgesics with respect to the type of anesthesia. Prospective, double blind randomized clinical trial of hip fracture patients who will be assessed for CD pre- and postoperatively, using the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE). The presence of CD will be determined at follow-up evaluation up to three months after surgery.
This study will aim to identify the impact of Intraoperative dexmedetomidine infusion on POCD assessed by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) in geriatric patients above 60 years undergoing hip surgery under spinal anaesthesia.
