Filter by:The investigators aimed to understand better the efficacy in a randomized, double-blind, intraindividual design trial in 66 participants with AD treated with SNG100, and 2 different strengths of topical steroids hydrocortisone and the medium potent mometasone furoate cream.
24-week, open-label, single-arm longitudinal study of patients with AD, including a comparison between baseline values for adult patients with moderate-to-severe AD and untreated normal control patients. Patients with AD: ≤24 to 29 weeks, including the screening period Normal control patients: ≤2 days to 5 weeks, including the screening period. Patients with AD: adults with moderate-to-severe AD whose disease cannot be adequately controlled with topical medications or for whom topical treatment is medically inadvisable (eg, intolerance, other important side effects or safety risks) Normal control patients: adults without AD or other atopic disease
Diaper dermatitis is one of the most common skin problems in infants and children.It is a skin disorder in the perineal , perianal and surrounding area .It frequently occurs also in areas immediately adjacent to the diaper area . Diaper dermatitis is caused by lack of fresh air,dampness and irritation.With prevelance from 7-35 % in newborns.This skin disorder typically develops between nine and twelve months of age .
The pathogeneses of many inflammatory diseases are not completely understood, yet, dysregulation of the human microbiota is increasingly being investigated as a possible contributing factor. The human microbiota includes bacteria, archaea, viruses and fungi. In general, little is known about the fungal colonization in inflammatory skin diseases. This study aims to examine the prevalence of microbiome in skin and oral mucosa of a variety of patients and healthy volunteers visiting the Dermatological outpatient clinic. The study is designed as a case-control study comparing the incidence of colonization or infection in skin and oral mucosa of patients with different skin diseases and healthy volunteers. Patients with selected skin diseases, staff at Zealand University Hospital in Roskilde, relatives to staff and students with relation to the Dermatologic Department will be asked to fill out a short questionnaire and have swaps taken from oral mucosa, as well as skin scrapings and tape strips from lesional skin (only patients) and non-lesional skin (all).
This study aims to assess the cytokine profile of tears in patients suffering from conjunctivitis versus patients without ocular involvement, when treated with Dupilumab
It is a study of translational research with mechanistically objectives and including biological samples of patients with chronic inflammatory disorders
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a multifactorial, chronic inflammatory skin disorder that results in areas of dry, itchy skin. AD affects up to 20% of children in Western societies and represents a prevalent, burdensome, and psychologically important pediatric concern. It often appears in infancy and may persist into adolescence and adulthood. This complex disease is typified by defective skin barrier function with activation of abnormal immunological and inflammatory pathways upon exposure to ubiquitous environmental allergens. It often appears in infancy and may persist into adolescence and adulthood. This complex disease is typified by defective skin barrier function with activation of abnormal immunological and inflammatory pathways upon exposure to ubiquitous environmental allergens. This complex disease is typified by defective skin barrier function with activation of abnormal immunological and inflammatory pathways upon exposure to ubiquitous environmental allergens. This phenomenon may be primarily related to mutations in important barrier proteins, in the same fashion as filaggrin in the atopic skin, or may be secondary, reflecting the intestinal mucosal damage caused by local hypersensitivity reactions to food antigens or to microbial components as in inflammatory bowel disease. Conventional therapy for AD consists of elimination of exacerbating factors, moisturizers to maintain skin hydration, antihistamines to alleviate pruritus, topically applied corticosteroids, or topical calcineurin inhibitors to control inflammation. Severe forms of atopic dermatitis may need systemic corticosteroids, oral cyclosporine, and/or phototherapy. Probiotics have been suggested as a novel treatment approach for atopic dermatitis. Specific probiotics have been shown to normalize intestinal permeability, to counteract intestinal immune dysfunction and to normalize gut dysbiosis. Hence, their clinical benefit may reside in the control of gut inflammation induced by various intraluminal antigens and enhancement of adaptive and especially innate immune responses. Indeed, above and beyond balancing the gut microecology and promoting host immune defences, specific probiotics might further aid in controlling the microbial colonization of the skin, thereby reducing proneness to secondary infections which typically cause sustained symptoms. However, there are conflicting evidence on the utility of selected probiotic strains for atopic dermatitis, and major problems are due to dose and viability of strain used, duration of treatment, study population. The aim of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study is to evaluate the efficacy of the most studied probiotic in the pediatric allergy field - Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) - in children affected by atopic dermatitis.
Chronic skin disease lead to skin damage and disfiguring to the patient skin. Sometimes, achieving normal skin is not possible by the normal traditional treatment, this study is focusing on use of ACE CSD formula which is mixture of natural peptides and herbs. the main aim is to restore the normal skin appearance for the patient and control the episodes of flare.
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic pruritic inflammatory skin disease of unknown aetiology. Global prevalence rates range from 1%-20%.AD is often worsened by stress and anxiety.Plasma levels of 5-HT were found to be positively correlated with the disease severity.
Clinical significance and current evidence: Radiation dermatitis occurs commonly in patients receiving chemoradiation for nasopharyngeal cancer; 50 to 60% develop grade 2 or higher dermatitis. This can result in significant morbidity, reduced aesthetic appearance, decrease in quality of life and delays in treatment. Current literature does not conclusively support the use of one agent over another for prevention of radiation dermatitis. The choice of agents used in clinical practice is highly variable, with aqueous agents being one of the commonest. Specific Aims: The aim of this study is to evaluate if the investigational product (StrataXRT), a silicone-based gel, is superior to standard clinical practice in prevention of grade 2 or higher acute dermatitis in patients receiving chemoradiation for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Trial Design: The study will be conducted using a prospective, double-blind randomized control trial in 2 institutions. Each arm will receive standard radiation to a total dose of 70 Gray (Gy) with concurrent chemotherapy. The primary objective is to compare the prevention of dermatitis and the primary endpoint is reached when grade 2 or higher dermatitis according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03 scale occurs. Secondary objectives will be evaluation of the time to onset of dermatitis, the time to complete recovery from dermatitis and the degree of pain. Assessment of the patient's skin will be done at baseline, weekly during treatment, 1 week post treatment and unless the skin has resolved to baseline then every week up until 6 weeks post-treatment, which will mark the end of follow-up. The safety end-point is reached when grade 4 dermatitis occurs. Hypothesis and statistics: The investigators aim to demonstrate a 30% reduction in the incidence of grade 2 or higher dermatitis with StrataXRT. Using a 2-sided test at significance level 0.05 to detect the difference with a power of 80%, the investigators envisage a recruitment of 100-150 patients in total. The study duration is estimated to be 2 years.
