Oculomotor Testing in the Differential Diagnosis of Dementia

Lewy Body DiseaseAlzheimer's Disease

The aim of this study is to determine whether saccadic eye movement recording may help in the discrimination between Lewy body dementia and Alzheimer disease, in the early stages of the disease. Study type: Interventional Study design: Intervention Model: Single group assignment Primary purpose: Diagnostic

A Trial of 18F-AV-133 and 18F-AV-45 Positron Emission Tomography (PET)

Dementia With Lewy BodiesAlzheimer's Disease1 more

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ability to identify individuals with dopaminergic degeneration in group of patients with a clinical diagnosis of either dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) or idiopathic Parkinson's disease and to differentiate them from Alzheimer's disease (AD) and control subjects.

Ability to Drive of Early Stage Alzheimer Disease

Alzheimer Disease

The main objectives of this study are: To evaluate the driving capacities in a population of elderly subjects with early stage Alzheimer Disease (AD) in a real-life situation. Define a typology of the main errors made in this population. Propose adaptive measures or technological aids that would make it possible for these patients to maintain their ability to drive a car while limiting risk.

FluoroAv45 Imaging Research-in Alzheimer's Disease

Alzheimer's DiseaseMild Cognitive Impairment

Rationale: improving the early detection of AD at prodromal pre-dementia stages has become a major matter of concern. There is now an important body of literature stating that early isolated cognitive deficits (Mild Cognitive Impairment-MCI-) predict the risk of developing AD. Several biomarkers are now available : specific and sensitive neuropsychological assessments, morphometric evaluation of hippocampal volume and white matter changes by MRI, cerebrospinal fluid or plasma dosage of Ab fragments and tau proteins, assessment of brain glucose hypometabolism in temporo-parietal regions with PET [F18]FDG. However, PET imaging using labelled compounds specifically binding to APs has been suggested to improve the diagnostic reliability and to potentially help in shortening the delay until formal clinical diagnosis of AD. F18 AV45 is a new radiotracer which kinetics characteristics allows 10 to 15 minutes acquisition 50 to 60 minutes post injection. Objectives: The primary objective of the study is to compare F18 AV45 cortical uptake in AD, MCI patients and Healthy Controls. Secondary objectives will be to compare cortical uptake of F18 AV45 in MCI subject who will have convert toward dementia versus those who will not, at two year follow-up period, to compare level of 18F-AV45 cortical uptake with neuropsychological testing, PET FDG hypometabolism, ApoE genotype. Method: Prospective multicentric study. 65 patients expected to enter the study. Primary outcome measure: Standard Uptake Volume ratios.

Telephone Call From Acute Care Physicians to Long Term Care Physicians: Impact on Transitional Care...

Alzheimer DiseaseParkinson Disease1 more

A telephone call from a physician taking care of a patient in the hospital to a physician in the long term care setting at the time of discharge can improve transitional care for elderly patients. We believe direct communication between physicians can reduce re-hospitalizations, medication errors, morbidity and mortality. No studies have been done that involve physician-to-physician sign-outs after hospital discharge to the nursing home. In our study, we would like to address the breakdown in the transfer of information to the nursing home setting.
