Many critical diseases can damage skin and tissue integrity due to natural immobility, hemodynamic instability, poor tissue perfusion, use of medical devices and many other internal and external factors. Skin damage frequently seen in intensive care units; It can be listed as skin tears and secondary cutaneous infections, especially pressure injuries (PI) and incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD). In the DecubICU's study, which has the largest sample number ever, published in 2021, the prevalence of pressure ulcers and related factors in 1117 intensive care units from 90 different countries were evaluated; Pressure ulcers were detected in 6747 of 13,254 patients hospitalized in the ICU, and 57% of these wounds were reported to be associated with the intensive care unit. In addition to pressure injuries, another skin problem that has also been focused on in nursing science in the last 10 years; incontinence-associated dermatitis. IAD, which develops on the skin exposed to urine and faeces, is not only a skin damage that needs to be examined on its own, but also paves the way for the development of pressure sores and can also progress together with pressure injuries. The study which was published in 2018, examined 109 intensive care patients, while the incidence of IAD was determined as 23.6%, while in 2019 another study in which 351 patients were included for 52 weeks, annual prevalence of IAD ranged from 17% and weekly incidences ranged from 0-70%. The findings of three different studies conducted in the intensive care unit are that IAD developed in 6% of 112 patients, 26.2% of 145 patients, and 65.4% of 266 patients, respectively. However, despite the limited literature, the high prevalence rates and the strong relationship between pressure injuries and incontinence associated dermatitis point to the necessity of evaluating these two skin injuries together. Each existing skin injury reduces the quality of life by causing pain and pain to the individual, and also increases hospitalizations and infection rates, placing a financial burden on the health system and causing loss of workforce. For all these reasons, skin problems are considered as a quality indicator in hospitals and the primary responsibility for maintaining skin integrity is attributed to nurses. Guidelines published by EPUAP, National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel and Pan Pacific Pressure Injury Alliance (PPPIA) in 2019 in the prevention of pressure injuries in intensive care units play a key role in determining nurses' attempts to preserve skin and tissue integrity. In the prevention of incontinence-related dermatitis, the best practices guide published by Dimitri Beckmann in 2015 should be integrated into clinics. Furthermore, the person-centered approach in skin care has been considered as a concept that should be focused on by the authors in recent years, and in a systematic review published in 2020, clinical applications of the person-centered care approach in wound care were suggested by considering the current evidence. However, the resources in which prevention strategies are focused on individual-centered care are very limited. Therefore, in this study, it was aimed to develop a critical patient-centered skin care protocol and to examine the effects of this protocol on the barrier functions of the skin. HYPOTHESES AND DETAILED AIMS ARE BELOW. The primary aim of the study is to examine the effect of critical patient centered skin care on the barrier function of the skin. The hypotheses for the primary purpose of this study are as follows: H0: Application of critical patient-centered skin care protocol has no effect on skin barrier function (skin temperature, transepidermal water loss, skin pH, and secondary infection). H1: Application of critical patient-centered skin care protocol has an effect on the barrier function of the skin (skin temperature, transepidermal water loss, skin pH, and secondary infection). The secondary aim of the study is to examine the effects critical patient-centered skin care on the incidence and development time of incontinence-associated dermatitis and pressure injuries. In this direction, the hypotheses for the secondary purpose of this study are as follows: H0: Application of critical patient-centered skin care protocol has no effect on the incidence of incontinence associated dermatitis and the incidence of pressure injury and their development times. H1: Application of critical patient-centered skin care protocol has an effect on the incidence of incontinence associated dermatitis and the incidence of pressure injury and their development times.
There is an increasing focus on the need to optimise nutrition, lifestyle and metabolism of parents before and during pregnancy and of the infant after birth, but as yet there is limited understanding of the specific influences and of the underlying mechanisms. This study is a follow up of children from the NiPPeR trial of a nutritional drink enriched with micronutrients, myo-inositol and probiotics taken preconception and during pregnancy. In this setting we will examine the influence of parental nutrition, lifestyle and metabolism before and during pregnancy on child growth, development and well-being; ascertaining growth, adiposity, metabolism, neurobehavioural and health outcomes in the children, and characterising the underlying mechanisms. The data collected will allow identification of the contributions of parental and offspring characteristics, nutritional, lifestyle and medical factors, social and economic status, ethnicity, genetics, metabolism and microbes to promoting healthy growth, body composition and wellbeing in the children.
The primary goal of the study is to collect standardized patient and clinician reported outcome measures for patients diagnosed with a range of dermatological conditions in an academic clinical practice setting. By regularly measuring outcomes longitudinally in patients treated in a real-world setting, this study will provide valuable and necessary information as to the impact of both the disease and its treatments on patients over time and will inform the optimal clinical management of patients with living with dermatological disease.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate post-mastectomy breast skin blood supply (perfusion) after radiation therapy, and before and after fat grafting to the breast(s).
The aim is to assess effectiveness (EASI, SCORAD, IGA, DLQI, pruritus, sleep loss) and safety (clinical and biological adverse events) of JAK inhibitors in adults with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis in a real-life French multicenter retrospective cohort
This prospective, non-interventional research registry is designed to study the comparative effectiveness and comparative safety of approved treatments for patients with atopic dermatitis under the care of a licensed dermatologist or qualified physician extender.

The role of vitamin D is well known in calcium and phosphate homeostasis; however, in addition to traditional functions, vitamin D has an important role in pathogenesis of different allergic diseases, such as asthma, atopic dermatitis (AD), and food allergy. There are evidences that lower cord blood vitamin D status is observed in infants with eczema. More-over, vitamin D level is decreased in subjects with asthma. One of the most important functions of vitamin D is to modulate the immune system response, both innate and adaptive, by suppressing Th2-type response and increasing natural killer cells. Vitamin D induces a higher level of IL-10, which is known as anti-inflammatory cytokine. Other studies have shown that vitamin D contributes to the conversion of CD4+ T cells to T regulatory cells. Recent studies showed that higher serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level was associated with a reduced risk of asthma exacerbation and hospitalization. Vitamin D can enhance dexamethasone-induced MAP kinase phosphatase-1 (MKP-1) expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Experimental data suggest that vitamin D can potentially increase the therapeutic response to glucocorticoid and can be used as an add-on treatment in steroid-resistant asthmatics. Vitamin D stimulates the production and regulation of skin antimicrobial peptides, such as cathelicidins, which have both direct antimicrobial activity and induced host cellular response by triggering cytokine release. Recent evidence suggests that low blood vitamin D level is a risk factor for food allergy. Vitamin D acts by binding to the vitamin D receptors (VDRs), which are located in a variety of tissues. VDRs have been identified on nearly all cells of the immune system including T cells, B cells, neutrophils, macrophages, and dendritic cells (DCs). Vitamin D deficiency predisposes to gastrointestinal infections by changing gut micro-biota, which may promote the development of food allergy. However the detail mechanism how vitamin D affects or protects the development of allergic diseases is still unknown. Vitamin D level is determined by sun exposure. Due to the fact that Lithuania, Latvia and Taiwan are located in different latitudes of north hemisphere with markedly different sun exposure, in this Joint collaboration study between Taiwan, Lithuanian and Latvia, we are going to study, (1). Serum vitamin D level in children and adults with AD and/or asthma in Lithuania, Latvia and Taiwan. (2). VDRs genetic polymorphisms of AD and/or asthma in children and adults in Lithuania, Latvia and Taiwan. (3). Finally, we would like to explore the gut microbiome of patients with AD and/or asthma in Lithuanian, Latvian and Taiwanese children and adults; and to estimate possible relationship between gut microbiome and vitamin D level and VDRs genetic polymorphisms. We believe that this study will be the first which compares the populations with different geographical and ecological factors having the same allergic diseases. We hope that these results will provide the answer about the role of vitamin D in the prevention, or in the future, in treatment of allergic diseases.
