Filter by:A randomized, double blind, counterbalanced, placebo controlled independent groups design to determine the effects of 3 month supplementation with tart cherry concentrate on indices of cardiometabolic health, exercise capacity and cognitive function. Following screening and recruitment, participants are familiarised with the testing equipment and procedures after which they will be randomly assigned to receive either Montmorency tart cherry concentrate (MC) or an isocaloric placebo (PLA), stratified by gender. The study is comprised of two experimental visits and outcome variables are assessed at baseline (before supplementation) and at 3 months (follow up; after supplementation).
The researchers' implement and measure the effects of a singing group intervention program for older adults, with an RCT design, in a natural context, on the health, well-being and cognitive function of older adults.
The declination on cognitive and motor functions in older adults increases the difficulty to achieve successful aging. Previous studies had reported that contrast to the traditional cognitive training methods, computer cognitive training (CCT) is comparable or has better effect on the cognitive function improvement with elders.On the other hand, some researchers claimed motor-cognitive dual-task training may possess greater effects than single cognitive training on cognitive functions. However, it is still on debate. Therefore, the research aims to investigate cognitive and motor benefits to healthy older adults over 65s trained by our computer-based cognitive game with high and low level of motor engagements.The research questions include: (1) Is CCT beneficial of cognitive functions? (2) Does CCT with high level of motor engagements (i.e. motor-cognitive dual-task training) have greater effects than single cognitive training on cognitive functions? (3) Can the training effect remain?
Xanamem™ is being developed as a potential drug for Alzheimer's disease. This study drug has been designed to change the cortisol levels in the brain. Cortisol is a naturally occurring hormone in the body. It is believed that reducing the level of cortisol will be a benefit in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. The XanaHES study is testing the safety and tolerability of Xanamem. It is planned to enrol approximately 84 participants, male and female aged from 50 to 75 who are in good health, in the study at 1 centre in Australia. The XanaHES Phase I study is a single-blind study. Subjects will be randomised to receive either 20mg once daily Xanamem or Placebo in cohort 1. Once all subjects have completed the study treatment of 12 weeks, a dose escalation committee will decide if a new cohort, cohort 2, with 30mg once daily vs placebo is started.

This study was the efficacy and safety of Catechin high contain greentea extract on improvement of Cognitive Function
There is a great interest in improving cognitive performance, including memory and attention. Improved attention is desirable for a large group of people because it is linked to improved performance . Students and professionals can benefit from improved attention and thus performance in academic and other work environments. In addition, cognitive functioning also plays an important role in sports. Various cognitive skills, including attention, reaction time and motor function, have shown that they can influence sport performance. A completely natural supplement with aronia melanocarpa extract could be a promising way to naturally improve cognitive performance.
Using a double-blind randomized controlled trial design, this study intends to evaluate the short-term effect of magnesium citrate on cognitive functions and hemodynamic parameters in MCI elders, including Montreal Cognitive Assessment, working memory test-digit span test, carotid artery flow velocity, ankle-brachial blood pressure ratio, and urinary magnesium.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of menstrual cycle phases on recovery and cognitive function after general anesthesia.
Currently, residents commonly experience dehydration and poor nutrition during nighttime duty hours as a result of heavy work load, lack of time to take nutrition and hydration breaks, or limited or no access to healthy food and drinks which may affect residents' work performance. The goal of this study is to compare the effects of two different meal compositions with no typical dietary practices (existing conditions) on work performance of the on-call residents during night shifts.
