Filter by:Frailty is the term commonly utilized to describe the geriatric syndrome that exposes the elderly to increased risk of negative health-related events. The frailty phenotypes (PF: physical or CF: cognitive) have demonstrated to predict the major negative health-related outcomes in the old population and show extensive similarities with sarcopenia (for PF) or dementia (for CF). However, the role of neurophysiological and biological factors contributing to the physical and cognitive frail condition, and in particular in which way mitochondrial dysfunction, as well as the hypertrophic and atrophic pathways assessed by genes expression, metabolomics and microbiota composition are contributing to these frail conditions, are still under debate. Therefore, the aim of this trial will be to make evidence based on the behaviors and the strategies that promote healthy lifestyle and successful human aging.
This is a prospective, randomized, open label, parallel, 16-week study to explore and evaluate the therapeutic effects of liraglutid, dapagliflozin and acarbose on the cognitive function, olfactory function, and odor-induced brain activation in overweight/obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) inadequately controlled with metformin monotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to create a rehabilitation program for children who survived posterior fossa tumors using the latest technology. Supposed that training in Fitlight, Dynavision D2, NeuroTracker will improve executive functions, visual-motor integration, fine and gross motor functions.
Long-term cognitive dysfunction greatly influences patient's quality of life after critical illness. However,its neurophysiological basis remains unknown.This is a 3 year fMRI study conducted at the Jiangyin people's Hospital. This study utilize resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI) to investigate the regional alterations in survivors with cognitive impairment.Further, the investigators hypothesize that these regional changes in fMRI activity are predictive of cognitive impairment.
This study will measure the oral bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of known bioactive compounds from a standardized Centella asiatica water extract product (CAP) in mildly demented elders on cholinesterase inhibitor therapy. Compound levels will be measured in human plasma and urine over 10 hours after acute oral administration of two doses of the botanical extract product. The dose giving maximum plasma levels (Cmax)closest to those observed in the investigator's mouse studies, the area under the curve (AUC0-12), as well as the rate of clearance (t ½) of the known compounds and time of maximum concentration (tmax), will be identified. These data will be used to inform decisions on the dosage and dosing frequency for future clinical trials.
Inappropriate medication prescribing is highly prevalent among comorbid medical patients and leading to adverse drug events (ADE), re-admissions, quality of life and mortality. Thus, the aim of this study is primary to investigate the feasibility of a interdisciplinary intervention focused on deprescribing and medication optimization in the Integrated Outpatient Department at Copenhagen University Hospital, Amager, Denmark. Participants in the intervention group receives a medication review by a clinical pharmacist and physician with a follow up after 7 and 30 days. The control group receives standard care.
This study was set out 1) Evaluate the impact of Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN) and DPN-P (Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathic Pain) on the overall Quality of Life (QoL) in elderly with Diabetic Mellitus (DM) and 2) Evaluate the association between cognition impairments and DM in the elderly, and the contributions of DPN and/or DPN-P
Assessment of cognitive function in patients undergoing elective carotid endarterectomy Classical treatment for ICA stenosis is carotid endarterectomy (CEA), which has been proven effective in preventing future stroke as well as improving cerebral perfusion. However, the influence of CEA on cognition is less defined, it remains unclear whether CEA can improve cognitive function. A change in cognition is one of the most threatening diseases of recent years, cognitive impairment significantly impacts patients, families, and healthcare system. The difference in the cognitive outcome may be accounted for microembolic events and adverse changes in haemodynamic circumstances. The aim of our study is to identify those factors what may have role in the postoperative cognitive decline. The study was approved by the Ethical Committee of the university ( SE RKEB: 17/2019) and written informed consent will be obtained from all patients. The investigators intend to enroll patient aged more than 18 years undergoing elective carotid endarterectomy at our hospital ( Semmelweis University Heart and Vascular Center). Exclusion criterion included young age (less than 18 years), incapacity and urgent surgery. The investigators would like to register at least 100-150 patients in our study. Most relevant anamnestic dates, the results of the laboratory and radiological reports will be recorded. Cognitive functions will be assessed one day before, one day and six month after the surgery using MMSE and a questionnaire called Frailty to characterize beside cognitive function the physiological reserve of the patients too. The investigators manage patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy with general anaesthesia, using inhaled or total intravenous agents. During the operation the investigators record beside the routine monitoring (intraarterial blood pressure, ECG, oxygen saturation, EtCO2, MAC) the cerebral tissue oxygen saturation using a near-infrared cerebral oximeter (Invos Cerebral/Somatic Oximeter) and the activity of the brain using GE Entropy Module. The investigators would like to register the changes in the haemodynamic and cerebral condition and compare these results against the clinical outcome and the changes of the questionnaires. Statistical analyses will be performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences.
Purpose: This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial aims to evaluate the therapeutic effects of donepezil in radiotherapy-related cognitive impairment. Further study details as provided by Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University / Yameitang. Primary outcome measure: cognitive improvement, which is determined by the difference value of ADAS-cog score before and after the treatment of donepezil.
