Filter by:This is a randomised controlled trial conducted to prove that the immunological performance of intradermal tozinameran (i.e., Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine) is no worse than the standard intramuscular route in patients with immune-mediated dermatologic diseases. The side effects profile and disease activity post-vaccination will also be assessed.
Does a group programme already delivered in routine practice to patients who share a diagnosis from the same medical speciality (i.e. specific-diagnosis) show equal effectiveness when modified for patients with diagnoses from a range of medical specialities (i.e. mixed-diagnosis)? A large number of people live with a long-term condition (LTC) and the burden of living with a LTC is recognised on a societal and individual level. Links between LTCs and poorer mental health increase demand on psychological services. Consequently new initiatives try to reduce waiting times and increase the capacity of these services. Group programmes use resources efficiently and have been applied across a range of medical specialities. A clinical health psychology service has adopted a group programme based on a well evidenced psychological therapeutic approach called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), for patients with dermatology conditions showing promising outcomes. However, the investigators want to compare whether similar outcomes can be achieved with patients from a range of specialities. The investigators conducted quantitative and qualitative research to answer the research questions a) Does an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy group intervention for specific-diagnosis groups suggest similar effectiveness in health-related quality of life, illness beliefs and psychological distress versus mixed-diagnosis groups? b) Is there a difference in feasibility and acceptability of an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy intervention between specific-diagnosis groups versus mixed-diagnosis groups? c) What are health professionals' views on the acceptability and feasibility of specific-diagnosis versus mixed-diagnosis groups and their experiences of working with patients who have attended such groups? Participants were recruited from the Clinical Health Psychology waiting list at a UK NHS Trust. Participants attended 7, two-hour weekly sessions and an 8 week follow-up 'reunion', and completed health related quality of life, illness perceptions, depression and anxiety questionnaires pre and post intervention. Patient participants and health professional participants (facilitators and referrers) were invited to attend focus groups to discuss their views and experiences.
The purpose of this project is to obtain clinical data, including skin samples, that will help investigators evaluate changes occurring in sun damaged human skin as a result of light that simulates sun exposure (Solar Simulated Light). Of specific interest are the molecular targets for cancer prevention. Molecular targets are the parts of the body's cells that have been shown to play a role in causing or preventing cancer and which scientists seek to affect in a way that may slow or eliminate the development of cancer.

To assess the efficacy of Wasabi Leaf Extract on skin
The objective of this double-blinded placebo-controlled cross-over study is to define the role of the over the counter agent, N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), in mitigating the development of pruritus (skin itching). The study is designed to have all subjects treated with a seven-day regimen of both NAC and placebo. NAC will be prescribed at a dose of 1,500 mg twice daily for seven days. Subjects will initially be randomly assigned (1:1) to either the NAC or placebo arm of the study, before crossing over to the opposite arm after completing a minimum of 30-day washout period. The study will encompass a period of approximately 11 weeks (about 2 and a half months).
Ultraviolet light A (UVA) causes oxidization of guanine to mutagenic 8-Oxoguanine (8-OxoG) and the most frequent and best characterized mutation in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), a deletion of 4,977 base pairs, called the "common deletion", a marker of photoaging.
The aim of the study was to use probiotic beauty products for 4 weeks and evaluate the impact of products on healthy skin.
