SOLFAMU Study of Nasal Brushing Collected OLFActory MUcosa Samples in the Diagnosis of Human Encephalopathies
Encephalopathies are a group of central nervous system (CNS) affection with heterogeneous etiology. Several causes have been recognized including neurodegenerative, vascular, infectious, autoimmune, toxic or allergic affections or secondary to systemic disorders. While 30-50% of acute encephalitis remains without etiological definition, definitive criteria for neurodegenerative diseases are usually unavailable in ...
Impact of Anticoagulation Therapy on the Cognitive Decline and Dementia in Patients With Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation
Patients will be screened at Intermountain Medical Center and at Intermountain-affiliated anticoagulation clinics in the Salt Lake City region. Patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation will be considered for study. After written informed consent is obtained, subjects who meet eligibility criteria will be randomized 1:1 to 2 treatment arms: Group 1: ...
Long-term Outcome of General Anesthesia on Dysgnosia
Cognitive disorders in patients underwent general anesthesia are discussed for decades, but whether there were precise relationship between general anesthesia and dysgnosia is yet to be guaranteed. Although controversial data reported from experimental studies in animals, the investigators still proposed that general anesthetics could impair the normally organized system of ...
A Clinical Trial for an Evaluation of Choline Alfoscerate and Donepezil for Cognitive Improvements of Patients With Cerebrovascular Injury in Alzheimer Patients
The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of Choline alfoscerate and Donepezil for cognitive improvements of patients with cerebrovascular injury in Alzheimer patients
Assessment the Efficacy of Acetyl-L-carnitine in Patient With Alzheimer's Disease
A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to assess the efficacy of Acetyl-L-carnitine in patient with Alzheimer's disease
The Role of Ketamine in Preventing Cognitive Dysfunctions in Postoperative Period of Cardiac Surgery
The purpose of this study is to analyze the Ketamine with its anti-inflammatory profile would be able to prevent cognitive disorders in the postoperative period of cardiac surgery, since these disorders contribute to an impact on morbidity / mortality in this population.
Donepezil and Memantine in Moderate to Severe Alzheimer's Disease
This trial will involve the withdrawal of drug participants that are currently on (donepezil) and in arm 4, the participant will only be on placebo treatment. It is important to include this arm of the study as a key objective in looking at the benefit of continuing donepezil and therefore ...
Memantine for Agitation in Dementia
Agitation is a cause of morbidity and mortality in Alzheimer's due to distress and use of medication with side effects. Memantine has beed shown to be associated with less agitation and a recent study by forrest pharmaceuticals failed to recruit. We will perform a 12 week rct in 164 patients ...
Dopaminergic Enhancement of Learning and Memory in Healthy Adults and Patients With Dementia/Mild Cognitive Impairment
Prior work of our group shows that the dopamine precursor levodopa markedly improves word learning success in healthy subjects. In this randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial, we probe whether administration of levodopa improves learning performance as compared to placebo administration on neuropsychological tests and in an associative learning paradigm. We postulate ...
Effects of Donepezil HCL on Task-Activated fMRI Brain Activation in Healthy Older Adults at Genetic Risk for Alzheimer's Disease
This 24-week study will examine the sensitivity of functional MRI to detect brain changes caused by donepezil HCL (a cholinesterase inhibitor) in healthy older adults at genetic risk for Alzheimer's Disease. Participants with a family history of Alzheimer's Disease will be eligible for this study. Participants without a family history ...
