Filter by:Purpose of the study is to assess the effect and evaluate topographic volume changes of UltraPulse at treating boxcar scars with different energy and the effect of UltraPulse at treating icepick scars.
The purpose of this study is to determine how probiotics affect sebum production and gut health in those with acne vulgaris.
Acne is common illness of adolescents and young adults which is associated with substantial morbidity. While topical treatments are often sufficient for mild acne, moderate to severe acne often requires treatment with systemic medications such as oral antibiotics, hormonal therapies such spironolactone, and isotretinoin. Sebum overproduction is fundamental to the pathogenesis of acne with associated disordered keratinization and subsequent microbial colonization and inflammation resulting in the clinical manifestations of acne. Given the influence of hormones on sebum production, therapies that address these underlying hormonal factors such as spironolactone and oral contraceptive pills represent an underutilized treatment option for women with acne and could help decrease the use of long-term oral antibiotics in this patient population. The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of spironolactone versus doxycycline hyclate (tetracycline class antibiotic) for women with acne.
Acne Vulgaris is a chronic skin disease. However, chronic and repetitive due to the quality of life and psychological status of patients can affect. For this reason, patients carry out various research on their diseases on social media and follow programs on these issues in other media such as television and radio. However, there is no study on how much patients are interested in these publications, how much they trust them, and how they reach and organize information via social media. The aim of the study will be to clarify how and how patients with Acne Vulgaris use social media to obtain information about the diagnosis and treatment of their disease, the interaction of patient groups with each other, and how often social media is used, especially in which group of patients.
The purpose of our study was to investigate whether preoperative skin cleaning on face, neck, and chest with chlorhexidine could reduce suture contamination of C. acnes in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. We hypothesized that preoperative skin cleaning on face, neck and chest with chlorhexidine can reduce C. acnes contamination on sutures in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.
This study seeks to correlate microbiome sequencing data with information provided by patients and their medical records.
The purpose of the study is to testify the efficacy of treating moderate‐to‐severe acne vulgaris with Single Microneedle Radiofrequency, and provide evidence for the hypothesis that "whether Single Microneedle Radiofrequency therapy could be an alternative to photodynamic therapy for moderate to severe acne vulgaris."
This study is being done to compare a new, continuous illumination and short Incubation time regimen of 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (painless ALA- PDT) to low-dose and conventional dose of oral isotretinoin for treatment of moderate or severe acne vulgaris. The hypothesis is that the painless ALA- PDT will be equally or more efficacious as oral isotretinoin, and taking effect more quickly with less adverse effect.
This study is to create a self-learning software that can detect acne lesions. Patients take a picture of their face every single day for 3 months with a secure mobile phone and fill out a pre-designed questionnaire. After 3 months, the mobile will be collected back and the pictures will be evaluated by 3 dermatologists. The software is able to learn from the dermatologists' evaluation and -using machine learning- a mechanism that should be able to automatically detect acne to some extent will be established.
Infections on joint replacements remain one of the most serious complications of orthopaedic surgery. Despite improvements in skin preparation and antibiotic prophylaxis procedures, the risk of infection of joint prosthesis is still high, particularly for shoulder prostheses, especially in men. One of the bacteria most often involved in post-operative infections for shoulder prosthesis is Cutibacterium acnes (CA). This bacterium is one of the predominant bacteria in pilosebaceous units. Eradication of this micro-organism remains difficult despite the techniques used in the preoperative phase. The objective of this protocol is to evaluate the efficacy of applying a 5% benzoyl peroxide topical during the 5 days preceding the procedure in the surgical skin incision area, which is based on local acne treatment, on the reduction of the CA bacterial load in the dermis of the approach to shoulder arthroplasty in men.
