Filter by:The purpose of this project is to test whether an online cognitive rehabilitation program or online thinking exercises helps improve memory and thinking in elderly patients who survive a severe infection.
The general purpose of this observational study is to examine biomarkers associated with the pathology of neurodegenerative diseases to potentially develop novel therapeutic approaches.
This study aims to evaluate the effect of individual reminiscence therapy (RT) on the global cognitive function of people with neurocognitive disorders attending social responses and to evaluate the ability of individually applied reminiscence therapy (RT) to improve overall cognitive function, memory, executive function, mood and quality of life (QoL) of elderly people with neurocognitive impairment attending social responses. It is proposed a multicenter study with an experimental design with randomized controlled repeated measures. Participants in the intervention group will hold two RT sessions per week for three months. Control group participants will maintain their treatment as usual.
This study evaluates the risk for incident falls and fall-related injuries at the onset of neurocognitive disorders in older adults participating in the Canadian Longitudinal Study
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia and currently has no disease modifying treatments or simple accurate diagnostic tests. The goal of this project is to study how tau (a protein thought to cause AD) is made, transported and cleared in the human body. Better understanding of these processes may lead to improved understanding of AD, earlier diagnosis and a way to evaluate treatment.
IMAGISION aims to explore, in a cohort of patients referred for geriatric consultation for neurocognitive evaluation, the contribution of functional neuroimaging (functional MRI and, if possible, high resolution EEG) to geriatric expertise, associated with the performance of a battery of neuropsychological tests in the evaluation of decision-making capacity.
The aim of this study is the efficacy of a docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)-rich dietary supplement in improving key dementia-related mechanisms and cognitive function in older people at risk for dementia. This is a randomized placebo-controlled, 24 weeks, phase 2 study of Omega 3 in people with increased risk of dementia. The aim is to explore the effects of DHA on cognitive performance (CERAD 10 word memory tests, TMT A/B, Stroop Color-Word, FAS, VOSP silhouettes, Cantab-test (RT, PAL, SWT)), biological markers (blood: CRP, NLF, TNF-alpha, MCI-1, PBMC Abeta middomain, Omega-3-index, IL, CSF: NLF, sTREM2, Ab 1-42, total and -phospho-tau) and imaging (MRI: standard structural DDI protocol including Freesurfer and WML measurements, DTI and ASL).
This study intends to evaluate the relationship between urinary albumin/creatinine ratio and postoperative neurocognitive impairment in elderly non-cardiac surgery patients. The results of the study are to identify risk factors, screen high-risk populations to improve clinical evidence, early detection and early treatment.And reducing the burden of PNCD on patients and their families, hospitals and public resources.
Despite the availability of numerous cognitive assessment tools, cognitive impairment related to dementia is frequently under-diagnosed in primary care settings. The investigators have developed a 5-minute cognitive screen (5-Cog) coupled with a decision tree to overcome the technical, cultural and logistic barriers of current cognitive screens to improve dementia care in primary care patients with cognitive concerns.
Perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND's) remain an important complication after surgery. After many years of speculating about the etiology of this complication, currently studies are pointing to an inflammatory cascade being set in motion. This prospective study is designed to examine preoperative lifestyle factors (such as sedentary behavior) associated with postoperative cognitive impairment in a group of patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery. The objectives in our study are to: identify perioperative risk factors for the development of PND's measure the incidence and duration of perioperative neurocognitive disorders in a known high-risk group of elective surgical patients measure a peripheral inflammatory marker (interleukin 6: IL-6) in the same group of surgical patients
