Active clinical trials for "Cognitive Dysfunction"

The purpose of our study is to investigate CSF and blood biomarkers among the subjects with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) as well as normal controls.

Our central hypothesis is that the early metabolic lesions of MCI can be reliably detected in individual subjects by objective analysis of [18]F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron-emission tomography (PET) brain images, earlier and more accurately than by subjective clinician rating.

Demonstrating that diagnostics of the state of consciousness and cognitive functions of patients with consciousness disorders performed using C-Eye X (based on eye-tracking technology) allows a more objective assessment of state of patients who were wrongly diagnosed based on popular methods using in a clinical practice (like behavioural scales on paper forms).

The current project entails the validation of the Italian version of the Uniform Data Set (I-UDS) neuropsychological in patients with neurodegenerative diseases, specifically in patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Specifically, the final aim is to explore the ability of the battery to differentiate the cognitive profiles of the two groups of patients.

In heart failure patients, neuropsychological disorders have been prospectively linked to frequent hospitalizations, recurrent cardiac events, and mortality. Cognitive dysfunction is also a frequent comorbidity in heart failure (HF) patients. The benefit of cardiac rehabilitation between patients with cognitive dysfunction and patients without cognitive dysfunction is unknown. Investigators hypothesize that patients with cognitive dysfunction benefit more from cardiac rehabilitation programs than patients without cognitive dysfunction.

Preoperative cognitive impairment (PCI) may increase the incidence of postoperative delirium (POD), yet screening for cognitive impairment is rarely performed. This study hypothesized that Mini-Cog for preoperative cognitive impairment screening predicts postoperative delirium. Elderly patients (65 years or older) attending Henan Provincial People's Hospital during the trial period who required elective thoracic surgery were recruited into the study.

The aim of this multicenter, cross-sectional, observational flash mob study is to investigate the prevalence of cognitive impairment in hospitalized elderly aged 65 years or older, and the recognition of cognitive impairment by healthcare professionals.

High risk infant is defined as infant with a negative history of environmental and biological factors, which can lead to neuromotor development problems. It is a heterogeneous group of premature infants born under thirty-seven weeks of age, with infants with low birth weight, term or developmental retardation for various reasons. Therefore, preterm infants with low birth weight can survive with a neurological sequelae such as cerebral palsy (CP), epilepsy, hearing and vision loss, mental retardation, speech and speech problems, and learning difficulties. The clinical diagnosis of CP and learning diffuculties which can be observed in high-risk infants, is based on the combination of some neurological and clinical signs.

SARS-COV-2 infection reframed medical knowledge in many aspects, yet there is still a lot to be discovered. Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) can cause neuropsychiatric, psychological and psychosocial impairments. Literature regarding cognitive impact of COVID-19 is still limited. Objective: evaluation of cognitive function, anxiety and depression among patients with Coronavirus disease 19.

Objectives to investigate the incidence and associated factors for early postoperative cognitive dysfunction in the patients with peritoneal surface malignancies undergoing cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemo-therapy(CRS-HIPEC).Methods fifty patients aged 18-65 yr were included in the research and were grouped base on the score of neuropsychological assessments which had done in the ward at 7 day before and after the surgery. The investigators monitored various indicators in the perioperative period, such as age, body weight, sex, education, duration of operation, intraoperative blood loss, cardiovascular events, amount of fluid infused per hour. Meanwhile, the concentration of serum amploid A (SAA),IL-1beta,TNF-alpha,HMGB1,S100b,cortisol and Abeta40 were measured at the various stage of the operation and 24 hours after the operation, and the differences of data between postoperative cognitive dysfunction(POCD) and Non-POCD groups were analyzed.
