Memory and Social Interactions
Memory and social interaction are intimately linked. On the one hand, social interaction is a privileged context for learning, and on the other hand, appropriate social interactions involve remembering the partners encountered and previous exchanges. People with Alzheimer's disease classic syndrome variant (AD) have a major impairment of episodic memory, …
Establishing Walking-related Digital Biomarkers in Rare Childhood Onset Progressive Neuromuscular Disorders
The purpose of this research is (1) to identify disease specific walking-related digital biomarkers of disease severity, and (2) monitor longitudinal changes in natural environments, for extended periods of time, in DMD and SMA.
Improving Prognostic Confidence in Neurodegenerative Diseases Causing Dementia Using Peripheral Biomarkers and Integrative Modeling
To develop a model to predict disease progression in a large cohort of patients across a variety of neurodegenerative diseases, including Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and dementia due to any neurodegenerative disease, including Alzheimer's Disease (AD), Lewy Body Disease (LBD), Vascular Disease (VaD) and Frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD).
Links Between Self-awareness and Sociocognitive Processes in Neurodegenerative Diseases
This monocentric, non-interventional study (SELFSOC) investigates the relationship between self-awareness and social cognition in patients with behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD).The primary objective is to assess metacognitive efficiency related to social cognitive performance using a computerized facial emotion recognition task combined with confidence judgments. Metacognitive indices …
Diagnostic Journey, Patient Experience, and Disparities in the Treatment of Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) in the MedStar Health System
Evaluate the diagnostic journey, patient experience, and disparities in the treatment of Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) in the MedStar Health System.
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.
Influence of Olfacto-gustatory Sensoriality on the Nutritional Status of Patients With Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterised by progressive diffuse muscular paralysis due to the inexorable loss of motor neurons in the primary motor cortex, the corticospinal tract, the brain stem and the spinal cord.Over the course of the disease, when the phrenic motor neurons are involved, diaphragmatic …
Invasive Home Ventilation in Denmark
The aim of this study is to describe national trends over the past 10 years in patients receiving invasive home mechanical ventilation (HMV) in Denmark. This includes indications for invasive HMV, diagnostic groups, and one-year mortality.
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: …
