Filter by:Aim of this randomized controlled study is to test if intensive polyintervention therapy including life style modifications targeting at reduction of modifiable risk factors of stroke can reduce the risk of post-stroke cognitive decline compared to a group of patients receiving standard care.
The purpose of this study is to see if a drug called lidocaine prevents cognitive injury (a decline in mental abilities) after heart surgery. Lidocaine is currently FDA approved and is commonly used for treating some heart rhythm disorders and for regional anesthesia (blocking nerves). The investigators are enrolling subjects in this research project to see if lidocaine will reduce the high incidence of cognitive injury seen after heart surgery. As part of this study, the investigators will also evaluate the relationship between cognitive injury and genetic makeup and the chemical changes in the subjects blood during and after surgery.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of the consumption of two different dietary patterns (low fat versus Mediterranean Diet) on the incidence of cardiovascular events of persons with coronary disease.
This is a 24-month study of the use of laronidase administered into the spinal fluid to treat cognitive decline in mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS I). MPS I is a rare genetic condition due to deficiency of the enzyme alpha-l-iduronidase. Laronidase is the manufactured form of the enzyme alpha-l-iduronidase. MPS I is a heterogeneous disease with several clinical phenotypes ranging from the most severe, Hurler syndrome, to the attenuated forms, Hurler-Scheie and Scheie. Although patients with milder forms of MPS I may not have grossly observable problems with cognition, these patients do have learning difficulties that are apparent in school and with neuropsychological testing. The goal of this study is to evaluate whether intrathecal recombinant human alpha-l-iduronidase (rhIDU) injections can stabilize or improve cognitive decline in individuals with MPS I.
The use of vitamin E, vitamin C, beta carotene, and/or multivitamins may keep cancer, cardiovascular disease, eye diseases, or cognitive decline from occurring. This randomized clinical trial studied vitamin E, vitamin C, beta carotene, and/or multivitamins to see how well they work compared with placebos in preventing cancer, cardiovascular disease, eye disease, and cognitive decline in male doctors aged 50 years and older.
The purpose of this trial is to study the effects of oral vitamin B12 supplementation and vitamin B12 combined with folic acid supplementation on cognitive performance for 24 weeks in elderly people with mild vitamin B12 deficiency.
The purpose of this study is to determine if folic acid supplementation can slow down atherosclerotic progression, age-related cognitive decline and age-related hearing loss.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the metabolic syndrome is a risk factor for cognitive decline and if this association is modified by inflammation.
