Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether early use of a bland emollient in newborns, prior to the clinical signs of skin disease, will delay the onset or prevent the development of atopic dermatitis.
Seven-month study in pediatric patients (2-11 years) with moderate to severe AD who were considered to benefit from vaccination to prevent invasive disease caused by Neisseria meningitides serogroup C.
The aim of this study is to prevent asthma and allergies in childhood by supplementation with fish oil (n-3 fatty acids) to the mother during pregnancy. Paticipants are mother and children participating in the ABC-(Asthma Begins in Childhood)cohort. Mothers are recruited during pregnancy and receive supplement with n-3 fatty acids or olive oil (placebo) from week 24 of gestation to 1 week after delivery. The child is followed with acute and planned visit at the research unit and diagnosis of disease is done in the research unit according to predefined algorithms.
The investigators will contact 64 patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) who participated in a long-term tacrolimus ointment trial in Helsinki 10 years ago, and ask them to participate in this follow-up study. The investigators will do the same tests as 10 years ago, i.e. bronchial hyperreactivity, skin prick tests, serum-IgE, Mantoux-test (2 TU), and questionnaires about asthma and allergic rhinitis symptoms. The investigators also collect data about their AD medication during the last 10 years. The investigators hypothesis is that when the skin condition improves in patients with AD the brochial hyperreactivity improves. The investigators also want to study whether different treatments play a role in the development or resolution of bronchial hyperreactivity.
This study will examine whether administration of oral Vitamin D3 given over 21 days will change the antimicrobial peptide expression in the skin or saliva of subjects with Atopic Dermatitis (AD). This study will help researchers determine if the lack of the expression of antimicrobial peptides in individuals with AD plays a role in the susceptibility to eczema vaccinatum (EV).
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of glycerol ointment, triamcinolone acetonide ointment, clobetasol ointment and tacrolimus ointment on irritated skin in a cumulative skin irritation test model using healthy volunteers.
This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled bilateral study on the effect of moisturizing creams on skin barrier function. The hypothesis is that a new active emulsion has a better influence on skin barrier function comapred to its placebo.
There's high incidence of seborrhic dermatitis among patients suffering from Parkinson's disease. Seborrhic dermatitis is caused by increased exertion of sebaceous glands. Previous studies have shown an increase of sebum excretion rate in parkinsonian pateints. Other studies demonstrated improvement in seborrhic dermatitis after anticholinergic treatment. From these studies we concluded that there might be hyperactivity of the parasympathetic system among PD patients, that cause increased exertion of sebum, therefore local injection of botulinium toxin, which inhibitis acetyl choline realese, might improve the rash of seborrhic dermatitis. 40 patients suffering from Parkinson disease or other parkinsonian disorders will participate in this study. Before treating the patients with botulinium toxin, we will measure the sebum exertion with the sebumeter device and make clinical evaluation of the rash. We will also take a picture of the rash. Then Botulinium toxin (60- 100 units) will be locally injected to the rash area. Two weeks after the injection the patients will be called and evaluated clinicly and by the sebumeter. Then they will be checked again after 3 weeks, after a month and after two, three and four month's.
This study is a single dose escalation study of tezepelumab (AMG 157) in healthy adults (Part A) and adults with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (Part B). The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity and pharmacokinetics of tezepelumab.
The study was performed to investigate the effects of mare's milk on SCORAD, faecal microbiota and immunological parameters in patients with atopic dermatitis.
