Filter by:The present study is testing spermidine treatment in elderly patients with coronary artery disease. The study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, two-armed, parallel-group, single centre, clinical study.
The main objective is to investigate whether administration of probiotics to patients with mild Alzheimer's Disease (AD) reduces neuroinflammation, improves cognitive function and modifies neurophysiological measures, compared to a patient group that receives placebo (no active probiotics).
Preclinical and clinical data have demonstrated the ability of the 11C-PIB tracer to selectively bind accumulations of amyloid protein, a neuropathological marker characteristic of the neurodegenerative pathologies covered by this study. The validation in larger groups of patients, and the comparison between the different clinical syndromes included in the spectrum, will allow the diagnostic and prognostic potential of the tracer to be evaluated, with important consequences for the clinical management of patients. In particular, the tracer could play a central role in the clinical management of patients with neurodegenerative diseases and cognitive impairment. Numerous pharmacological trials are currently underway, worldwide, for the validation of anti-amyloid drugs. In the future we could think about early monitoring with imaging of the effectiveness of the treatment. T he FDG PET technique can be of great help in obtaining relationships between radiation damage to the brain and possibly neurological and neuropsychological deficits associates.
To evaluate the dose-response of relevant blood biomarkers to remote ischemic conditioning in patients with age-related cerebral white matter hyperintensities on MRI, in preparation for a subsequent larger efficacy trial.
This study is a group controlled clinical trial. Parallel study, patients aged 40-80 years, with Parkinson disease. Twelve sessions, three times a week, for 30 minutes. Training will consist of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation linked to tredmill training, in 3 blocks of 7 minutes, and adicionally to the Experimental Group, dual-task cognitive-motor exercises, simultaneously. The investigators will use the folowwing instruments: Auditory Stroop Test, Trail Making Test, Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Timed-up-and-go ST and DT, UPDRS II and III and Eletroencefalography (EEG). The objective is to examine cognitive alterations on PD pacients due to intervention and the relationships between baseline outcomes in responders and non-responders to therapy.
The goal of this quasi-experimental study is to test effect of time-restricted eating on cognitive function and other biopsychosocial factors in menopausal women undertaking a 12-week exercise programme. The main questions to answer are: 1. What is effect of time-restricted eating on cognitive function in menopausal women undertaking a 12-week exercise programme? 2. What is effect of time-restricted eating on menopausal symptoms in menopausal women undertaking a 12-weeks exercise programme? 3. What is effect of time-restricted eating on metabolic health parameters in menopausal women undertaking a 12-weeks exercise programme? Participants of both groups will have moderate intensity circuit mixed endurance and resistance exercise programme two times per week for 55 minutes for 12 weeks. Participants of one of two groups will not only exercise but also have a time-restricted eating following 16:8 protocol for 12 weeks. Participants will have pre-tests and post-tests: - blood samples collection (to measure level of brain-derived neurotrophic factor, glial cell derived neurotrophic factor, insulin, glucose, lipid profile), - body composition analysis, - Stroop test and N-back test, - electroencephalography using Emotiv Epic X devices, - One-repetition maximum test, Ruffier test, - Questionnaire assessment (using Menopause Rating Scale and The Menopause-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire). Researchers will compare two groups - exercise group and combination group which will do both time-restricted eating and exercise to see if there is a modulating effect of time-restricted eating in participants undertaking exercise.
The goal of this prospective, single site, interventional randomized control trial is to treat age related health conditions in adults older than 65 years and functional independence. The main question of the study is to answer the effectiveness of notification on activity, sleep, and nutrition based on wearable device Fitbit recorded data for the improvement of health conditions including intellectual property and physical function, compared to usual care. Participants in the intervention arm will be given a Fitbit Charge 5 device and asked to wear this for the duration of the study, including during sleep. The study intervention will run for 6 months. Notifications will be issued using a monitoring software in Japanese, and issued automatically to participants. Participants in the control arm will be given a routine care and health-related information. Researchers will compare cognitive performance, muscle mass and physical activity between the two groups to see if the notification based on Fitbit data would promote the health conditions of older adults.
The Interventions for Brain Health Virtual Reality Study is a NIH-funded clinical research trial at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Health under the supervision of the study principal investigator Dr. Judy Pa. The overarching goal of this trial is to use a novel virtual reality (VR) based intervention that simultaneously engages physical and cognitive activity aimed at improving brain health and cognition in older adults. The investigators will compare 3 types of interventions: physical activity, VR cognitive activity, and combined VR physical and cognitive activity over 16 weeks to evaluate physical and brain health changes.
Early cognitive assessment of critically-ill acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients with delirium using a multidimensional electrophysiological evaluation battery (mEEG) to identify and characterize the neural correlates of cognitive dysfunctions associated with delirium (vigilance, attention, semantic and lexical processing, self-processing), and to develop a prognostic evaluation of neurocognitive and psychological disorders using an innovative non-behavioral approach.
Age-related hearing loss (ARHL), like neurodegenerative diseases, appears insidiously with age. As major public health issues, they are nonetheless under-diagnosed because the presence of one can hinder the objectification of the other. The CogAudio project aims to detect early and in an ambulatory mode in a memory centre a speech perception disorder in noise thanks to the VRB test in patients weakened by cognitive disorders.
