Filter by:Damages in frontal area present in neurodegenerative disease (frontotemporal degeneration, frontal variant of Alzheimer disease) and in psychiatric disease (bipolar disorder) can affect behavior and cognition including social cognition. Symptoms vary both quantitatively and qualitatively from disease to another and from person to person. It cannot be completely excluded that in some cases, factors of susceptibility such as premorbid personality traits lead to frontal fragility. The study will assess the relationship between premorbid profile using NEO-PI 3 inventory and cognitive and behavioral/psychobehavioral manifestations in patients with behavioral variant of frontotemporal disorder (bvFTD), phenocopy frontotemporal dementia (phFTD), frontal variant of Alzheimer disease, bipolar disorder characterized with frontal damages.
The Anti-Aβ mAb CED Study is a prospective, longitudinal coverage with evidence development (CED) study using clinical data, patient assessments, and administrative claims data of the Medicare population, conducted in accordance to the National Coverage Determination (NCD) on Monoclonal Antibodies Directed Against Amyloid for the Treatment of Alzheimer's Disease (AD).
The purpose of this research study is to investigate how the brain, memory, thinking, and motor behavior change both in individuals with movement and/or cognitive disorders, as well as healthy individuals. Researchers will look at measurements of memory, thinking, brain wave and muscle activity, daily functioning, and brain scans to learn more about brain disorders such as Alzheimer disease and Lewy body disease.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of DMTS on frequency and severity of agitation associated with dementia of the Alzheimer's type, compared with placebo.
This study aims to investigate bumetanide in patients with biologically confirmed Alzheimer's disease (AD). Bumetanide is a potent diuretic administered orally and is FDA approved for the treatment of edema and hypertension. Repurposing bumetanide as a medication for AD has been proposed based on data that demonstrated its ability to "flip" the APOE genotype-dependent transcriptomic signatures in AD mouse and cell culture models. Critically, this discovery was subsequently explored in Electronic Health Record cohorts, which revealed that among individuals over the age of 65, bumetanide exposure was significantly associated with a lower prevalence of AD in three independent datasets. Primary Objective: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of bumetanide when administered to participants with biomarker-confirmed Alzheimer's disease. Secondary Objective: To evaluate the clinical and biomarker effects of bumetanide in participants with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia due to Alzheimer's disease.
This study will test G:DATA, a simple computer game designed to diagnose Alzheimer's Disease, in three different groups of people, some of whom have Alzheimer's Disease. It will look at whether the results of G:DATA match the results of tests that are used to diagnose people with Alzheimer's Disease now. The Investigators will also ask patients and healthcare staff for participant views on the G:DATA game.
This study seeks to evaluate the utility and efficacy of the Non-Contact Sleep Quality Monitor System when used to monitor the sleep quality of individuals living in long-term care (LTC) with either Alzheimer's Disease (AD) or Alzheimer's Disease Related Dementia (ADRD). This before-after comparison trial will be conducted in several LTC facilities to evaluate the effect access to System Sleep Quality Data has on documentation of sleep disorders or treatments and sleep quality change over time for AD/ADRD participants in the intervention group as compared to the control group. All subjects will undergo sleep quality monitoring for 4-weeks. At the end of the first 2-weeks, research staff and LTC facility staff and medical providers will receive access to sleep monitoring data. We hypothesize that when real-time System Sleep Data is shared with LTC staff or healthcare providers, that sleep disturbances will be more readily detected, leading to timelier, better tailored treatment interventions for sleep disturbances, thereby improving sleep quality and decreasing daytime physical inactivity.
The primary purpose of this study is to identify participants with or without symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) that are at high risk for brain amyloid pathology using blood-based biomarkers.
This study will contribute to creating a prospective and robust automated preoperative risk assessment algorithm for 30-day mortality, major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) and perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND) outcomes following elective general, orthopedic, cardiac, or vascular surgery. It will help to identify correlations between perioperative factors and Alzheimer's Disease (AD) or AD-related dementias (ADRD). Lastly, this study will create effective, validated multi-modal interventions to improve perioperative health. This study will explore two main hypotheses: 1. Preoperative prehabilitation and proactive cognitive/behavioral interventions will effectively improve postoperative cognitive outcomes, morbidities, and mortality, and; 2. The proactive bundled interventions are superior to current standard of care in reducing postoperative cognitive outcomes, MACCE and mortality. Expected Outcome: Improved EHR algorithm will have higher predictive accuracy for MACCE and mortality while predicting postoperative cognitive outcomes.
The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of coenzyme Q10 supplementation (150 mg/b.i.d, 300 mg/d, 12 weeks) on coenzyme Q10, glucose parameters, BDNF, myokines, and cognitive function in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients who combined with hyperglycemia but without sarcopenia, or with hyperglycemia and pre-sarcopenia.
