Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to investigate cognitive functioning profiles in adults with neurologically recognized aphasic syndromes and general population. The study group consist of minimal 600 adults (over 18 y.o.) who will be examined by qualified diagnosticians. Participants will be evaluated with tasks related to the studied variables: memory, learning and language. Furthermore informations regarding past and present health condition will be collected from participants. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What is the profile of memory and learning among polish adults? 2. Do gender and age moderates patterns of memory and learning functioning among polish adults? 3. What is a specific pattern of language functioning in adults with neurologically recognized aphasic syndromes? 4. Do gender moderates specific patterns of language functioning in adults with neurologically recognized aphasic syndromes? Researchers will compare the following groups of adults: 1. general population/control group 2. with neurologically recognized aphasic syndromes 3. seniors (over 60 y.o.)
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterised by a progressive loss of memory and cognitive function. In the early stages of AD, there is a progressive accumulation of molecules: β-amyloid peptides (Aβ) in the brain. There is a link between the accumulation of Aβ peptides and the deterioration of sleep, but current knowledge does not confirmed this link. The objective of this study is to define whether there is a link between cognitive decline and sleep disorders. If a correlation is found, this could allow earlier treatment of sleep disorders in the longer term in order to slow the development of AD.
CNS tumor requires biopsy for pathological diagnosis, which is known as the "golden standard". We would like to achieve automated classification of brain tumors based on deep learning in digital histopathology images and molecular pathology results. We expect to develop an assistant system (including software and hardware), to help pathologists during their diagnosis for CNS tumor.
Constipation and defecation disorders affect about 15% of the European population and of those up to 30% of the patients over 65 years of age. For those affected, this is associated with major restrictions in quality of life and high health care costs . The underlying causes of constipation and defecation are complex and only partially understood. Intestinal (full wall) resections taken in clinical practice from these patients when conservative therapy has been exhausted show rarefaction of ganglion cell nests in the myenteric plexus and submucosal plexus as well as changes in cholinergic innervation. Initial histopathological investigations suggest an inflammatory genesis of this rarefaction of ganglion cell nests, which will be further characterised/investigated in the context of this study on the basis of further histopathological and serological investigations. This may lead to novel therapeutic approaches that can causally treat the symptoms of those affected.
