KINGSTON, R.I. — Jan. 6, 2020 — The 溏心vlog免费B站,<\/a> in collaboration with BayCare Health System<\/a> in Florida and The Memory and Aging Program at Butler Hospital<\/a>, an affiliate of The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, is launching a clinical trial of retinal screening processes that could help clinicians detect Alzheimer\u2019s disease possibly two or more decades before patients develop life-altering clinical symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The five-year, $5 million Atlas of Retinal Imaging in Alzheimer\u2019s Study (ARIAS) is sponsored by BayCare Health System\u2019s Morton Plant Hospital and St. Anthony\u2019s Hospital and funded largely by Morton Plant Mease Health Care Foundation and St. Anthony\u2019s Hospital Foundation in Pinellas County, Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Principal investigators for the study are Peter Snyder, Ph.D., 溏心vlog免费B站 vice president for research and economic development and professor of biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences, and Stuart Sinoff, M.D., who specializes in neuro-ophthalmology and is a medical director of Neurosciences for BayCare Health System\u2019s West Region in Pinellas County. According to the two researchers, the objective is to create a gold standard reference database of structural, anatomic and functional imaging of the retina to enable the identification and development of sensitive and reliable markers of early Alzheimer\u2019s disease and\/or risk progression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
