Filter by:The aim of the study was to use probiotic beauty products for 4 weeks and evaluate the impact of products on healthy skin.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the Dermal Cooling System can be used to elicit an improvement in the cosmetic appearance or physical symptoms of common skin conditions.
There are millions of births each year with 32% of women undergoing cesarean sections (C-sections), which results in skin scarring. Repeat C-sections increased by 178% from 1979-2010. Given the frequency of C-sections, it is important to achieve a desirable cosmetic outcome. The PICO 7 dressing consists of a negative pressure wound therapy pump (NPWT) connected to an absorbent gentle adhesive dressing that is applied to a wound. When the pump is activated, it acts by pulling excess fluid from the wound. The dressing absorbs this fluid and helps to prevent bacteria from entering the wound. It has been shown to prevent wound infections and promote healing. This study aims to compare the aesthetic appearance by using The Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) scar assessment scale following closed incision negative pressure therapy with a PICO 7 dressing to the standard abdominal dressing in women undergoing repeat cesarean sections
This study evaluates the use of an oral supplement to see if it can shift the function of the skin and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, its impact on biomarkers associated with aging, and its impact on mental health.
This study investigates 3 different doses of orismilast modified release compared to placebo in adult patients with moderate-to-severe plaque-type psoriasis. The purpose of the study is to assess the effect of orismilast modified release in moderate-to-severe plaque-type psoriasis and assess the safety aspects of these 3 different doses.The patients will receive an oral treatment of either orismilast modified release tablets or placebo tablets 2 times a day for 16 weeks.
Psoriasis is a non-communicable chronic immune-mediated disease. Psoriatic skin is characterized by excessive proliferation of skin cells and infiltration of immune cells. The cause of psoriasis is so far unknown. Established therapeutics include topical, oral-systemic, biologic, narrow-band ultraviolet B (NB-UVB). A persistent antipsoriatic effect by the newest biologic therapies has been demonstrated after treatment discontinuation. However, the remittive hallmark of psoriasis suggests the existence of a molecular scar, a kind of disease memory, in clinically healed skin. It has been suggested that this disease memory can be attributed to the tissue-resident memory T (TRM) cell. The main purpose of the study is to investigate whether (NB-UVB) treatment and concomitant Enstilar® treatment can change the amount of TRMs in the skin as well as change the expression in the microenvironment around these cells in the skin from psoriasis patients. In addition, the investigators will investigate whether the treatment can change the quantity and types of other psoriasis-related cells in the skin. In addition to this, the investigators will also examine the effect of treatment on patient-related parameters.
To assess Collagen Drink on skin condition and sleep quality improvement
The purpose of this study is to explore the evaluation of the efficacy of TCI66207 deep-sea live-face bacteria on the skin.
The skin of pre-term neonates is not fully developed and often leads to trans-epidermal water loss, trouble regulating temperature, and increased risk of skin wounds. Current treatment decisions are based on subjective, qualitative assessments of the skin. The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the utility of non-invasive optical spectroscopy methods to collect key biological information from neonatal skin, including skin maturity, blood oxygenation, and bilirubin content. Parents of pre-term neonatal subjects (n=44) will be recruited for consent to participate, and spectral measurements will be made with a diffuse reflectance spectrometer(DRS) device previously approved by the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences Institutional Review Board. The spectral data will be analyzed to extract parameters related to tissue light scattering, oxy-and deoxy-hemoglobin, melanin, and bilirubin. The system will be validated by comparing extracted spectra with expected literature values and directly correlating the measured bilirubin levels with readouts from the current University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences practice standard: Philip's BiliChek. The long-term goal is to develop and use non-invasive optical readouts to predict and monitor skin dysfunction in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
The prevalence of common mental disorders is high in patients with chronic inflammatory physical diseases(e.g., autoimmune or infectious diseases). The traditional explanatory causation model in which physical symptoms and related disability drive mental health problems is now called into question, and evidence has accumulated supporting more complex interactions whereby psychiatric disorders can both result from and contribute to the progression of physical diseases. In the present project, the investigators will focus on comorbidity of depression and anxiety symptoms or syndromes with chronic inflammatory skin diseases (psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa and atopic dermatitis) or chronic infectious diseases (chronic HBV and HIV infection). The study is aimed to clarify the mechanisms underlying the high frequency of those comorbidities. It will overcome the main limitations of previous investigations and use innovative statistical tools to model complex interrelationships and causal links among the assessed variables. The identification of key variables driving the causal chain of determinants of poor global health and quality of life may impact treatment outcome and models of care.
