Filter by:The objective of this pilot double-blind study was to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of Broncho-Vaxom 1 capsule (3.5 mg) per day for 9 months compared to placebo on the evolution of the disease in children suffering from Atopic Dermatitis (AD).
Incontinence and the skin irritation (dermatitis) associated with it are common problems. Treatment of dermatitis is effective, but requires effective cleaning and application of a barrier substance to prevent further contact between urine or feces and the skin. Water based cleansing with the addition of a pH balanced cleanser is more effective than standard abrasive cleansing with paper or a cloth, and is better tolerated by those with skin irritation. Zinc oxide based barriers effectively promote healing and prevent further skin damage. Spray forms are less cumbersome and generally preferred, but are difficult to for the patient to apply independently given the challenge of accessing the perineum. 40 patients, recruited from 3 specialty pelvic floor centers and 1 assisted living center will be provided a device that cleans, dries, and applies zinc oxide barrier spray with each use of the toilet. Dermatitis will be evaluated at the beginning of the study, and at weeks 1, 2 and 6 by medical staff using a standard scale (The Kennedy Scale).Quality of life will be measured using a visual analog scale derived from the quality of life in incontinence scale. The investigators hypothesize that the device will 1) effectively treat incontinence associated dermatitis, 2) prevent recurrence, and 3) be preferred over standard treatment.
This trial aims at evaluating the efficacy of a fermented rice flour for the treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD). The fermented rice flour, obtained from Lactobacillus paracasei CBA L74 (Heinz Italia SpA, Latina, Italy), does not contain live bacteria. Lactobacillus paracasei CBA L74 belongs to the list of microorganisms with qualified presumption of safety compiled by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), is tested for the absence of antibiotic resistance genes in accordance with EFSA, and is genetically characterized by repetitive extragenic palindromic polymerase chain reaction. Using a repeated-measure cohort design, the investigators have recently shown that the administration of a fermented-rice flour obtained from Lactobacillus paracasei CBA L74 was associated with a decrease of the score for atopic dermatitis (SCORAD) in children with AD. The present randomized, double-blind, controlled trial is aimed at testing whether the fermented rice flour obtained from Lactobacillus paracasei CBA L74 is effective in reducing SCORAD in children with moderate to severe AD using placebo as comparator.
The dermatological testing of cosmetic products which are new on the market, or existing products with novel formulations is common and a useful procedure, yet necessary to alleviate common irritants and contact allergic reactions. Cosmetic products contain a range of substances that may be considered as potential irritants or contact allergens. In order to estimate that risk, cosmetics are tested by applying patch tests.
Explore the unmet needs of patients admitted to the hospital for severely inflamed skin of the lower legs, often described as 'bilateral cellulitis". These patients usually have intractable lower extremity edema, stasis dermatitis and sometimes allergic contact dermatitis rather than an infectious process; readmission is common. Investigators will create patient and provider education materials to align dermatological, home health, and other resources and measure reduction in hospital re-admission rate and length of stay.
To evaluate the safety, efficacy (dose response) and pharmacokinetics of 0.3% and 1% OPA-15406 when applied twice daily for 4 weeks in pediatric patients with atopic dermatitis.
Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a skin disease also called eczema. It is common in children and sometimes gets better on its own. However, chronic AD may cause asthma, food allergies, eye infections, and sleep problems. The cause of AD might be related to bacteria that live on the skin. Researchers want to see if introducing bacteria, R mucosa, from healthy skin onto the skin of someone with AD helps treat the disease. Objective: To test the safety and activity of R mucosa for treating AD. Eligibility: Part 1: People ages 18 and older with AD Part 2: Children ages 3-17 with AD Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Examination of their AD Blood and urine tests At the baseline visit, participants will have blood tests and photos taken of their skin. They will get a supply of R mucosa and a memory aid to track their doses and record how they are feeling. Part 2 participants guardians will complete questionnaires about their child s AD. Part 1 participants will spray R mucosa on their arm twice per week for 6 weeks. Part 2 guardians will spray it on their child s arm twice per week for 16 weeks. Participants will have follow-up visits to repeat some baseline tests and review their memory aid: Part 1: Six weeks after the baseline visit Part 2: Four times over 16 weeks; then 2 or 3 times for 1 year Participants will be called or emailed to discuss how they are feeling: Part 1: About 30 days after their last visit Part 2: About every 10 days between visits
The purpose of this study is to establish the efficacy of each strength of ruxolitinib cream once daily (QD) or twice daily (BID) in participants with atopic dermatitis as compared with vehicle cream BID.
The incidence of atopic dermatitis and type 2 diabetes, respectively, has increased over many years. Novel research shows an association between the two conditions. While this relationship at least in theory can be explained by lifestyle factors, there is reason to believe that other pathophysiological mechanisms are involved. Hence, our hypothesis is that patients with atopic dermatitis are insulin resistant due to their chronic inflammatory state. Insulin resistance might play an unknown part in the increased frequency of type 2 diabetes among patients with atopic dermatitis. In the present project, the investigators aim to measure insulin sensitivity by means of the 'golden standard' hyperinsulinaemic euglycaemic clamp in patients suffering from atopic dermatitis compared to a healthy control group (matched case-control study). The project is a close collaboration between The Department of Dermatology and Allergy and Center for Diabetes Research at Gentofte Hospital.
