Objective(s)• To evaluate the safety and tolerability after intranasal administration of ascending multiple doses of Memogain in healthy elderly subjects.• To evaluate the PK after intranasal administration of ascending multiple doses of Memogain in…
The primary objectives of this study are:* To evaluate tracer kinetic models for the purpose of quantifying specific binding of 18F-AV-1451 in cross sectional and longitudinal applications; and* To evaluate simplified methods for quantification of…
Primary:To establish the safety and tolerability of rivastigmine when given with concomitant glycopyrrolate at an accelerated dose escalation schedule up to 12 mg BID.To establish the safety and tolerability of rivastigmine when given with…
Our projects aim to identify (a combination of) putative diagnostics markers for Alzheimer's disease that allow for accurate discrimination and at the same time can be more readily implemented than the currently available markers, i.e. cheaper…
With this research we intend to fill the gap described in the previous chapter by:1) Detecting functional network changes in several causes of early-onset dementia and to characterize the specific changes for each dementia cause.2) Relating specific…
To compare the rate and extent of rivastigmine absorption from two different formulations of 7-day rivastigmine transdermal systems (7-day RTS) with 24-hour Exelon® patch applied daily for 7 days in healthy adult male and female subjects.To assess…
1. To investigate the differences between healthy older adults with and without cognitive complaints (SCI) and MCI patients in: a) resting state functional connectivity; b) brain structure; and c) cognitive function. 2. To investigate longitudinal…
So far, only a few case-studies have been tried using neurofeedback in the treatment of dementia / cognitive decline. These indicate that there are behavioural changes and emotional changes next to cognitive changes. This will be the focus of this…
1. To evaluete the clinical and cost effectiveness of 4 models of case management for persons with dementia and their main informal caregiver. 2. To evaluete the effectiveness of the 'dementiewjizer', an internet application that enables…
The objective is to investigate the effects of a combined strength and aerobic exercise program on cognition, physical functioning, social functioning and ADL.
To examine the effects of treatment with galantamine among patients with AD on the variability and stability of walking (with and without dual-task), functional mobility, standing balance, and cognitive functions (e.g. attention and executive…
The research aims to answer the following questions:- Are the concentrations of neopterin, amino acids, HVA, S-100B and BDNF in the blood of patients with Alzheimer's disease differ from those in a matched healthy controls group (matched for…
Databases with multimodal brain imaging data (FDG-PET, VBM, DTI, ASL and resting state fMRI) will be created. From these data image features will be extracted, to be used to create a supervised classification method for associating brain patterns to…
Our aim is to determine the effect of APO* on activity and volume of the hippocampus, a core structure of Alzheimer pathology, at a young age. Specifically, we aim 1) to determine the effects of APOE e4 on hippocampal activation in the young general…
The purpose of the study is to investigate how quickly and to what extent rivastigmine is absorbed and eliminated from the body when administered RTS for 7 days (this is called pharmacokinetics) as well as the safety of RTS.
RationaleSince gamma band activity is thought to be an important mechanism in perceptual binding and cognitive function, interest in changes in gamma band activity in neuropsychiatric disorders has grown rapidly. Changes in gamma band oscillations…
Too study the effects of implementation of the Dutch STI on pain and challenging behavior.The RESEARCH QUESTIONS are:1. Is the use of the STI-protocol more effective than usual care in reducing symptoms of pain and challenging behaviours in nursing…
The project has the following objectives:1. To investigate the diagnostic value of beta amyloid oligomers in CSF and plasma for AD in subjects with mild dementia. 2. To investigate whether beta amyloid oligomers in CSF and plasma can predict AD in…
The main objective of this project is to study the relationship between dopaminergic mechanisms and apathy in dementia. The related question, both theoretically and of direct relevance for daily practice, is whether patients with dementia are…
To improve the behavioural (neuropsychological) methods for the early diagnosis of Alzheimer*s disease (AD) and other dementias.
