The current standard of care, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), has been shown to stabilize cognitive decline and significantly improve long-term neurological outcomes when performed prior to symptom onset. ...
It was previously investigated in a clinical Phase 2a study in Alzheimer’s disease in which blarcamesine resulted in a lower rate of both cognitive and functional ...
Clinical research activities link OS to several chronic human diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, cognitive decline, diabetes, premature aging and frailty. The evaluation of the RedOx balance might improve the network of clinical parameters characterizing the patient’s well-being, as part of an growing widespread customization of medicine and with ...
Medical Director Jay Pathmanathan, MD, PhD, discussed how the company has applied its machine learning platform to standard electroencephalography (EEG) data to detect electrical disturbances in the brain that may predict cognitive decline and explain variability in disease course for patients with Alzheimer's disease. ...
(Neuropsychologia 155, 107825) Alain et al. looked into the causality behind age-related decline in vision, hearing, and touch. In their experiment where visual, auditory, and somatosensory areas were stimulated, older adults showed higher amplitudes of associated primary cortical areas compared to younger adults. ...
The discernible differences seem to decline in subjects with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or overt Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), independent of age. ...

In addition, the data provided indications supporting further exploration of Lomecel-B, particularly the therapeutic potential to slow cognitive decline and improve quality of life in patients with AD. “After meeting the rigorous requirements of the VA, we are pleased to announce the addition of this particular Miami VA site to our ongoing trial,” ...
In addition, the data provided indications supporting further exploration of Lomecel-B, particularly the therapeutic potential to slow cognitive decline and improve quality of life in patients with AD. “We are pleased and encouraged by the publication of our study in this high-impact journal,” said Geoff Green, CEO of Longeveron. ...
It is now broadly acknowledged that one key step to improving brain health in the overall medical field lies in a readily accessible, non-invasive, precise, and objective diagnostic test for patients suffering from and/or at risk of cognitive decline. Thus, targeted intervention can take place as early as possible, ideally prior to brain damage/memory loss, and ...
Manus Neurodynamica Limited (“Manus”), which develops and markets products and technologies for neuromotor assessment, has received £600,000 grant funding from Innovate UK, to optimise and validate the NeuroMotor PenTM (NMP) for screening of dementias and cognitive impairment, over a two-year project. Only around 68% of over 65s, estimated to have dementia have ...
The health of your brain and your heart are also connected, which means managing cardiovascular risk factors like diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure can also reduce the risk of cognitive decline. The barriers of Alzheimer’s diagnosis One of the biggest obstacles to addressing cognitive decline (including memory ...
Phase 2 TRAILBLAZER-ALZ results presented today by Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) at the 15th International Conference on Alzheimer's & Parkinson Diseases™ 2021 (AD/PD™ 2021) held virtually March 9-14, 2021 and published simultaneously in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) expand on previously reported top-line data that found donanemab met its primary endpoint and ...
Absence of amyloid plaques is inconsistent with an Alzheimer's disease diagnosis and indicates other causes of cognitive symptoms should be investigated. An intermediate APS (37-57) does not distinguish between the presence or absence of amyloid plaques and indicates further diagnostic evaluation may be needed to assess the underlying cause(s) for the patient's ...
Additionally, results will be evaluated for possible correlations with findings on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and cognitive performance measurements. “With this special eye scanner, it may be possible that in the future, research and maybe clinical applications can be done quickly and in a very patient-friendly way to diagnose ...
“A large proportion of individuals with end-stage renal disease who receive hemodialysis have cognitive impairment, which may be associated with reduced ability for self-care, poor adherence to dietary and fluid restrictions, and poor outcomes,” said Karoly Nikolich, Ph.D., chief executive officer of Alkahest. ...
Alzheimer’s awareness month, Optina Diagnostics and Wagner Macula Retina Center will Collaborate to Conduct a Clinical Study and Develop a Unique in-community Patient access Program Aimed to Identify the Causes of Memory Loss through Eye Diagnostics, November 6th 2019 Optina Diagnostics Optina Diagnostics, a world leading company in retinal imaging and artificial intelligence with a vision ...
Optina Diagnostics’ platform is intended for the detection of likely positron-emission tomography (PET) amyloid status (negative or positive), to aid in the evaluation of adult patients with cognitive impairment who are being evaluated for Alzheimer’s disease and other causes of cognitive decline. ...
Contrastingly, studies show that the short-term effects of REM-lacking sleep begin with a decline in cognitive skills. Fixing the issue long-term, Peterson suggests, begins at the core of the problem: shift times. ...
Research published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease this week suggests healthy older adults are less capable of observing their own cognitive decline over an 18 month period than Cogstate’s computerized brief battery (CBB). The study, conducted by neuropsychologists, also indicated that close family members were unable to perceive ...
