Filter by:Background: Skin conditions are common in young people and are known to adversely affect emotional well-being and quality of life in a range of ways, including negative impact on intimate relationships. However, despite its importance, it has been shown that dermatology consultations rarely address issues like genital skin involvement or sexual dysfunction. Furthermore, there is currently very little data on the scale of the problem, risk factors, psychological impact of skin on sexual function or understanding of the most appropriate ways to manage it in this age group. Research aims: The Dermatology department at Oxford University Hospitals National Health Service Trust (Oxford, United Kingdom) have already set up an award-winning specialist dermatology service for young people with embedded psychological support. This study further explores how services can be improved by evaluating the impact of chronic skin conditions on quality of life and sexual dysfunction in adolescents. By identifying the associated risk factors, recommendations can be made to effectively meet the physical and mental health needs of adolescents. Design and methods: The study will gain perspectives from follow-up patients aged 17 - 25 years seen by the Dermatology departments in Oxford University Hospitals National Health Service Trust (Oxford, United Kingdom). They will complete an online anonymous survey to share how their skin condition affects their quality of life, including sex and intimacy, and how services can be improved to meet their needs. In-depth interviews will then be conducted in those who volunteer, to better understand the nuances of unmet needs. Participation is voluntary. Dissemination: Results of the research will be disseminated by national and international conferences, publications in academic dermatology journals and collaborations with other NHS departments. Improvements will be made to the local adolescent dermatology service as a result and shared via local meetings and posters.
The aim of this project is to start a biological and clinical collection of patients presenting autoimmune, dysimmune or auto-inflammatory dermatological diseases. This collection will provide appropriate biological samples to identify new biomarkers and to be accessible to the medical, scientific and industrial communities for the identification of new therapeutic strategies.
This study is to describe the real-world treatment patterns and clinical outcomes in moderate-to-severe AD patients receiving abrocitinib over a 12-month observation period, and to describe patient demographic and baseline characteristics.
the hypothesis is that the current bedpan is not adapted to the diversity of patients encountered. It is necessary to collect the opinions of patients themselves on the current pool in different departments in order to validate our hypothesis. The objective is to evaluate pain in patients with reduced or very reduced mobility caused by the bedpan currently used in current practice through an observational study.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the indications for prenatal diagnostics and preimplantation genetic testing for patients/couples affected by an inherited skin disease, and evaluate the clinical outcomes of these reproductive options. By providing a complete overview, the investigators aim to improve reproductive counselling for these patients/couples with a desire to have children. To achieve this, the investigators aim to retrospectively collect data from a cohort of patiens/couples affected by an inherited skin disease on a national level (in the Netherlands) and also an international level from various countries in Europe.
This project aims to develop and evaluate an online intervention to prevent and/or reduce self-stigma in German patients with visible chronic skin diseases. Evaluation of the intervention with regard to effectiveness and feasibility will follow an open-label randomized controlled design with 550 patients in total. The results of the program are expected to provide new insights and markedly extended knowledge on the mechanisms of self-stigma in chronic skin conditions. The new online intervention can be used in routine care, aiming for better patient care in practice and, ultimately decreased extent of self-stigma, increased quality of life of patients, and decreased rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide ideation.

The goal of this interventional clinical trial study is to compare ZAX.1400.P03 and placebo in Psoriasis patients. The main question it aims to answer is: • Can treatment with ZAX.1400.P03 for 3 weeks improve clinical signs of skin in psoriasis patients? Participants will be divided into two groups of 52 people. One group will use ZAX.1400.P03 topically twice daily for 3 weeks and the other group will use placebo topically twice daily for 3 weeks. Researchers will compare treatment and placebo groups to see if there is any improvement in the clinical signs of skin caused by psoriasis after treatment with ZAX.1400.P03 for 3 weeks.
Scars and keloids cause patients severe morbidity and psychological distress. Hypertrophic scars rise above the skin but stay within the scar boundaries, while keloids expand. The development of keloids and hypertrophic scars is a consequence of insufficient wound healing. These lesions are distinguished by excessive ECM deposition. Excessive ECM deposition is caused by increased inflammatory and proliferative processes and decreased remodeling activities. These scarring lesions are also linked to genetic and systemic causes
