Filter by:This study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Shade for the management of UV-induced skin complications and data collected from this study will be used to support the proposed indications for use.
The objective of this study is to have better knowledge about sensations of patients with skin carcinomas and to have data about characteristics of pain and pruritus . All patients presenting with a suspicions lesion for skin carcinomas will be included and will respond to a questionnaire. Demographics data, and histological data about skin carcinomas will be collected.
Sun Safe Workplaces (SSW), a comprehensive occupational sun safety program, promoted education and policy to 98 cities, counties, and special districts in Colorado. In a two-year follow-up study, Klein Buendel, Inc. (KB) proposes to examine the effectiveness of SSW on employee sun protection practices by employers and return on investment in an economic evaluation of the cost of the SSW intervention. The results of this follow-up study will provide critical information on effective approaches to increasing sun protection across a wide range of employment sectors with outdoor workers.
The aim of this study is to identify genetic patterns in normal ageing skin in order to better understand age-related changes. Data has suggested that skin ageing has a genetic basis and past studies have identified genes that promote skin aging due to sun exposure.
To determine the relationships of dietary factors with the subsequent risk of dermatological diseases (such as skin cancers and inflammatory or autoimmune dermatoses) in a cohort of female registered nurses and male health professionals.
The purpose of the intended proposed research is to investigate and determine best strategies for preventing skin cancer for emerging adults. To answer this question, the investigators intended to pilot a randomized control trial with three arms: 1) Facial Morphing, 2) Mindfulness, and 3) Treatment as usual. The population from which the sample was drawn from was undergraduate psychology students from a large public university in Southern California, who report recent indoor/outdoor tanning, and intentions for future tanning.
Freshly excised or freshly frozen tissue for Raman analysis will be obtained from a dermatology practice affiliated with UMCB. In the course of the routine removal of benign or malignant tumors in the office, skin cancer surgeons routinely check frozen sections to ensure adequate margins are obtained. Consent will be obtained from patients to provide freshly excised or freshly frozen leftover tissue obtained during Mohs surgery to be discarded after histological diagnosis. Freshly excised tissue will be measured at the time of excision before processing, while the freshly frozen tissue samples will be stored in a freezer at the Mohs clinic and transferred to the UT- Austin campus for spectroscopic analysis.
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play a key role in the innate immune system. Toll-like receptor-4 (TLR4) in particular, appears to play a role in susceptibility to cancer. Of 44 identified SNPs (small nucleotide polymorphisms) in TLR4, the most common is an A-G substitution at nucleotide position +896, downstream of the cDNA start codon, a missense mutation which leads to an amino acid substitution Asp299Gly in the third exon of the TLR4 gene. Pre-clinical studies from our laboratory have shown an association of TLR4 with ultraviolet radiation induced skin cancer. Hence, in this study we will assess the pattern of TLR4 polymorphisms and susceptibility to skin cancer.
This is a pilot, phase 2, prospective, comparative study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combination of Levulan® Kerastick® for Topical Solution and blue light illumination using the BLU-U® Blue Light Photodynamic Therapy Illuminator (LevulanPDT). The study hypothesis is that post solid organ transplantation patients, highly susceptible to non-melanoma skin cancer, can be treated safely and effectively through clinical cyclic application of PDT, lessening morbidity and possible mortality for this immunosuppressed patient population.
Over 3.5 million cases of non-melanoma skin cancers occur annually and melanoma rates have doubled in the last 30 years, burdening the nation's health system. Klein Buendel, Inc. (KB) proposes to develop Sun Safety INK! (SSI!), a skin cancer prevention program targeted to clients of licensed tattoo studios because tattoo aftercare recommendations can include sun protection for tattoos, and studios offer an opportunity to reach younger adults who are significantly more likely to sunburn and less likely to practice sun safety. The study will assess the effectiveness of SSI! at (1) increasing full-body comprehensive sun protection practices; (2) decreasing sun burning and tanning; and, (3) decreasing positive attitudes regarding tanning and tanning attractiveness.
