Filter by:The purpose of this study is to compare the use of INSORB absorbable staples with metal staples on surgical incision healing after total hip replacement. The study evaluates wound healing, complications, and patient satisfaction regarding wound comfort and appearance after surgery.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of 15-day versus 10-day doxycycline treatment in patients with erythema migrans.
The study focuses to prove the equivalent efficacy of two different Dexpanthenol formulations.
Purpose of study: Evaluation of the affect of dose rate on UVR induced skin erythema. Study design: A single-center, prospective, randomized, crossover, open study. Number of patients: 20-40 Patient population: Healthy volunteers Control: Different sites on patients body Procedure duration: Total 3-5 hours (4 visits) Duration of follow up: 4 days Duration of study: Up to 6 months Primary objectives: To examine the difference in erythemal response as a function of dose rate, and to assess the total amount of energy that is theoretically transmitted through a sunscreen within the range of SPF 2-10.
With the increasing tourism and adventure travel into extreme environments comes the need to reassess the required protection against ultraviolet (UV) radiation and possible other oxidative stresses. This is an observational study of UV radiation exposure and skin erythema while at extreme altitude (Mt. Everest). In addition to UV exposure, skin erythema, antioxidant use (such as vitamins C and E) will be measured. Hypothesis: 1. UV radiation at extreme altitude has larger effects on the skin than at sea level; therefore requiring an adjustment of the antioxidant use for adequate protection. 2. The skin is an accurate reflection of UV and oxidative stress exposure 3. The efficacy of oxidatives stress is reflective of the ethnicity of the individual.
The purpose of the study is to compare efficacy and adverse effects of pulsed dye laser and intense pulsed light in patients with skin telangiectasia and redness.
Erythema Toxicum Neonatorum (ETN) is a common skin finding that affects healthy full-term babies. Several authors have commented on the possible relationship between ETN and the development of atopic conditions, such as atopic dermatitis or respiratory disease later in life. There is a paucity of research addressing this issue.
There is no previous study on the minimal erythema dose of UVB irradiation in Chinese people. We will investigate the correlation of skin phototype, constitutive skin color, facultative skin color and minimal erythema dose in Taiwanese.
This study will analyze cells from erythema migrans lesions, the "bull's eye" rash of Lyme disease. Little is known about what happens in the skin when it is infected with Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacteria that cause Lyme disease. This study will examine and compare laboratory findings in skin biopsies from people with Lyme disease and from healthy normal volunteers to try to better understand the infection. Healthy volunteers and people with untreated erythema migrans rash who are 18 years of age or older may be eligible for this study. All participants undergo a clinical examination, blood tests, between two to four skin biopsies (removal of a small piece of tissue for laboratory examination), and complete two health questionnaires. The biopsies are taken from the erythema migrans lesion in patients with Lyme disease and from skin on the legs, forearms, buttocks, or side from healthy volunteers. To collect the tissue, the skin at the biopsy site is numbed with injection of a local anesthetic and a sharp instrument is then used to remove a round plug of skin about the size of a pencil eraser. The wound may be closed with one or two sutures, or allowed to heal without sutures. The sutures are removed after a week to 10 days. Patients with Lyme disease receive treatment for their condition. In addition, at the time the sutures are removed and at 4 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months after their first visit they fill out a questionnaire and have additional blood tests.
