Filter by:The Departments of Paediatrics and Child Health, Obstetrics/Gynaecology and Nutritional Sciences, University College Cork, and the Department of Dermatology, Trinity College, Dublin have a unique and urgent opportunity to form a birth cohort of over 2000 children whose growth and maternal health status will have been closely monitored from early pregnancy. Longitudinal monitoring of these infants will allow direct investigation of several research areas in a way which has not previously been possible in Ireland, or abroad. The investigators propose to focus on three main research themes: the effects of intrauterine growth restriction, the incidence and prevalence of food allergy and eczema in early childhood and the incidence and effects of maternal and infant vitamin D status on the growth and health of Irish children. Although the investigators initial proposal will focus on these important areas, the formation of this birth cohort will offer many opportunities for further research as the cohort grows older. It will form a unique bio-bank of information from Irish children collected longitudinally from soon after their conception. The mothers of these infants are currently being recruited, which leaves us with a narrow window of opportunity to put in place a pathway of investigation for these children. To ignore this opportunity would be to lose access to a wealth of information regarding child health and disease. The potential for this cohort to provide definitive answers to current, and future, theories of disease causation is enormous.
The aim of this study is to measure the serum levels of CCL17, CCL18, CCL22 and CXCL10 and their expression levels in epidermis in AD and ND patients.
The purpose of this protocol is to determine the feasibility of doing larger follow-up studies examining whether emollients used from birth can prevent eczema in high-risk babies and to help investigators find out if emollients (moisturizing skin creams) used from birth can prevent eczema in high-risk babies. Hypothesis: Enhancing the skin barrier from birth using emollients will prevent or delay the onset of eczema, especially in predisposed infants.
A phase 2 double blind randomised study of PraevoSkin,a melatonin containing emulsion, in the prevention of radiation induced dermatitis.
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 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.
The aim of the study is to find out if allergic diseases can be prevented buy giving probiotic bacteria to pregnant mothers and their newborn infants
