This study looks at the best way to treat colon cancer that is blocking the bowel. It compares doing emergency surgery right away versus first placing a stent or creating a stoma (a bag on the belly) to relieve the blockage, followed by planned surgery later. The goal is to see w…

This study is testing whether taking a daily selenium pill (200 micrograms) can improve outcomes for people with heart failure. Selenium is a nutrient important for heart health, and low levels are common in heart failure patients. The trial will include over 4,300 adults in Swed…

This study is testing whether new blood tests can accurately diagnose the cause of memory loss or dementia, potentially replacing the need for a spinal tap. Researchers will compare blood test results with standard spinal fluid tests in 1,200 people at a memory clinic. If success…

This study follows nearly 3,000 people, including healthy adults and those with memory or movement problems, to learn how brain diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's develop. Researchers use advanced brain scans and tests to track changes over time. The goal is to improve ear…

This study follows 650 people with early Parkinson's disease or a sleep condition called idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD). Researchers use brain scans, heart tests, and fluid samples to track changes over time. The goal is to better understand how these conditions de…

This study follows 800 cognitively healthy adults aged 50-80 to find early biological markers of Alzheimer's disease. Researchers will use blood, spinal fluid, and brain scans to track changes over 4 years. The goal is to develop a screening tool for the general population, not t…

This study is testing whether blood tests and brain scans can help doctors in primary care detect Alzheimer's disease and other dementias earlier and more accurately. Researchers will recruit 1,200 adults with mild memory or thinking problems. The goal is to improve diagnosis and…

This study looks at how often vein narrowing happens after placing a temporary dialysis catheter in the neck or collarbone area. Researchers want to see if a quick ultrasound can spot this narrowing as well as a CT scan does. About 100 adults who need a dialysis catheter for at l…
