Filter by:The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of different amoxicilline treatment regimens in patients with erythema migrans.
The main objective of this study is to characterize the inflammatory proteins, gene polymorphisms, and transcriptome profiles in patients with erythema migrans to gain better insight into pathogenesis of early Lyme borreliosis and to define new immune modulators that could serve as biomarkers of disease activity.
Erysipelas-like erythema (ELE) and arthritis are common manifestations affecting the ankle in Familial Mediterranean Fever. Musculoskeletal ultrasound examination of the ankle has never been performed during an episode of ELE. We hypothesize that ELE is associated with underlying musculoskeletal pathology. In order to support this hypothesis, ankle musculoskeletal ultrasound will be performed within 24 hours of onset of ELE in 15 patients diagnosed with FMF. Results will be correlated with clinical parameters, serum inflammatory markers, and ankle radiography.
In this study, researchers want to learn more about the effect of dexpanthenol dermal spray on skin recovery and reduction of skin redness after a dermatological procedure (non-ablative laser) on the face for treatment of fine wrinkles, scars, open pores and change of pigmentation. After the dermatological procedure, participants will return within 3 weeks for 4 visits to the study center to investigate the skin conditions such redness, irritation, softness and possible side effects. In addition, study participants will be asked about their general acceptance of dexpanthenol dermal spray.
In this study, researchers want to learn more about the effect of dexpanthenol cream on skin recovery and reduction of skin rash after a dermatological procedure (ablative laser) on the face for treatment of fine wrinkles, scars and open pores in adult women. After the dermatological procedure, participants will return within 3 weeks for 4 visits to the study center to investigate the skin conditions such as redness, irritation, softness and possible side effects. In addition, study participants will be asked about their general acceptance of dexpanthenol cream.
The double-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, one-period effectiveness study will include 30 subjects (women, aged between 25 to 55 years, Fitzpatrick phototype II and III). Subjects will be divided in two groups, 15 in each. One group (test group) will receive investigational product - lutein syrup (4 mg/mL; daily dose 20 mg) and the other (placebo group) placebo syrup. Participants will test continuous administration of placebo or investigational product for 12 weeks in order to demonstrate and assess multiple-dose effects. The primary objective is to assess the photoprotective potential of the investigational product in relation to placebo product. The secondary objectives are to assess effects of investigational product on dermis density and skin viscoelasticity after 12 weeks of dietary supplementation.
This study will be a single center, Phase 2, open-label trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 200mg CC-11050 administered twice daily taken with food for patients with moderate to severe ENL. The study will be performed in two steps: 1) to evaluate immediate effect in safety and efficacy of drug in 10 males with new or new recurrent episode ENL and, if found to be safe and effective by the DSMB and 2) if allowed by the DSMB, and approved by relevant study stakeholders, an additional 40 ENL patients will be enrolled for up to 52 weeks of treatment. A safety analysis will be conducted on all patients who have received at least one dose of study drug, and will include the frequency of all adverse events and laboratory abnormalities as well as frequency of dose interruptions, dose reductions and treatment discontinuation.
Erythema Nodosum Leprosum (ENL) is a painful, debilitating complication of leprosy. Patients often require high doses of corticosteroids for prolonged periods. Thalidomide is expensive and not available in most countries. The use of corticosteroids for long periods is associated with adverse effects and mortality. It is a priority to identify alternative agents to treat ENL. Methotrexate (MTX) is a cheap, widely used medication which has been reported to be effective in ENL resistant to steroids and thalidomide.
Intro: Dermatology department of Henri Mondor Hospital (Creteil, France), is a reference center for toxic bullous diseases and severe cutaneous drug reactions (Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), Lyell syndrome (toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN)), generalized bullous fixed drug reactions, AGEP, DRESS, drug induced immunoglobulin A (IgA) bullous dermatosis, and erythema multiforme). In order to conduct clinical and biological research studies in drug reactions, it is necessary for the investigator's department to implement a collection of clinical data and biological samples. Hypothesis/Objective: To collect clinical data and cutaneous and biological samples for immunological, biological and genetic studies to improve knowledge about pathophysiology of drug reactions. Method: The following samples will be performed in addition to the routine practice samples: one skin punch biopsy (6mm); 43 mL of blood; blister fluid aspiration; oral and nose mucous membrane and skin eSWABs, stool samples. These samples will be stored in a dedicated biological sampling department ("Platform of biological resources"). Conclusion: The implementation of this collection should allow us to conduct pathophysiological studies about drug reactions.
While adhesive tape is commonly used to secure endotracheal tubes (ETT) during general anesthesia, its use is also associated with facial skin injuries. Although a variety of adhesive tapes are used in clinical practice, few studies have investigated the likelihood of adhesives in producing injury. The purpose of this randomized, controlled, non-inferiority study was to compare the proportion of facial skin injury with Durapore™ vs. Hy-Tape®.
