Genetic Frontotemporal Dementia Initiative for Neurodevelopment
This is an international multi-centre cohort study of first and second degree family members of individuals who carry Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) mutations in MAPT, GRN or C9ORF72 repeat expansions for youths between the ages 9-17.
Identifying Biomarkers in ALS Patients Using Neuronal Derived Extracellular Vesicles
Rationale. ENGRAILED1 (EN1) is under consideration as a therapeutic approach for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). To assess EN1 target engagement in patients, we aim to identify EN1-responsive biomarkers suitable as Prentice-style surrogate endpoints. We will discover candidates by RNA-seq of neuron-derived extracellular vesicles (NVEC) immuno-isolated from blood. Establishing such biomarkers …
Tanycytes in Alzheimer's Disease and Frontotemporal Dementia
Metabolic and hormonal deregulations are both a risk factor and a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD), occurring early in the course of the disease. In FTD in particular, hyperorality and dietary changes are associated with metabolic and hormonal changes such as altered levels of the anorexigenic …
Speech and Language Interventions for Italian People With PPA
Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is an umbrella term used to refer to several clinical variants that manifest as an insidious deterioration of speech/language skills, usually due to frontotemporal lobar degeneration and/or Alzheimer's disease. Consensus criteria have been proposed by an international community regarding the sub-classification of PPA into three variants: …
ECOCAPTURE for the Assessment of Apathy Under Real-life Conditions
ECOCAPTURE@HOME is a study which is currently being developed with the objective to capture the behavioral signature of apathy in everyday life context through remote monitoring of participants' behavior for about one month. Participants will not only be patients with apathy but also their spouse caregiver. Behavioral markers of apathy …
A Long-term Safety Study in Brazilian Patients With a Diagnosis of Spinal Muscular Atrophy Treated With Zolgensma
A long-term safety study in Brazilian patients with a confirmed diagnosis of Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) treated with Onasemnogene Abeparvovec (Zolgensma®)
Tau PET in Imaging and Cognition: Healthy Adults From 55-90
The investigators aim to use the new PET radioligand, 18F-MK-6240, to detect tau pathology in cognitive healthy and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) elders. The investigators will then examine the interactions between differential tau burden and performance on cognitive tasks, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) neural activation patterns, and other cognitive …
Standard Two-Day Advanced Life Support (ALS) Versus One Day Recertification Course
this study aims to compare the effectiveness of a one-day versus two-day ALS recertification course in terms of knowledge retention, practical skills performance, participant satisfaction, and confidence.
Language in Primary Progressive Aphasia
The purpose of this study is to further define the neurological and linguistic deterioration in primary progressive aphasia.
Derivation of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells From an Existing Collection of Human Somatic Cells
Induced pluripotent stem cells potentially may be useful in the future as an unlimited source of cells for transplantation.The major goal of the project is to develop human iPS cells from various types of cell cultures or lines from existing collections. The IPS cells will be developed for modeling diseases, …
