Intranasal Oxytocin Intervention for Caregivers to Persons With Dementia
Recruiting
More than 15 million family caregivers provide support for individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD) or related dementias. This number is expected to grow with the increasing population of persons with dementia (PWD). Stress in caregivers to older adults with chronic diseases is already a significant public health issue because it is associated with multiple negative physical and mental health outcomes for the caregiver (e.g., depression, cardiovascular disease) and can negatively impact the hea...

Improving Cognitive Function in Older Adults Undergoing Stem Cell Transplant
Recruiting
Cancer and treatment-related cognitive changes, such as thinking or remembering, hinder resumption of normal routine and roles and worsen quality of life. Older adults undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) are at high-risk for cognitive impairment. Age is a risk factor for Alzheimer's Dementia (AD) and the hematological malignancies leading to HCT. There are shared mechanisms and interactions between AD and cancer-related cognitive decline (CRCD). Physical activity improves cogniti... Read More

ERAS Protocols in Breast Conserving Surgery
Recruiting
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols have been of increasing interest in the surgical community for decades. The emphasis has been development of protocols to maximize pain control post-operatively without the use of opioids. While this approach has been studied extensively in the oncology surgery literature, little data exists on the utility of ERAS protocols in the setting of breast conserving surgery (BCS), which is a type of surgery to remove breast cancer while saving as much of...
