Filter by:It is well known the efficacy of 5% 5-fluoruracil for multiple and superficial actinic keratosis (AKs)treatment. Recently its additional benefit for advanced and severe photoaging while treating Aks was reported. The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of the two modalities of 5% 5-FU use for forearms photoaging.
The purpose of this study is to determinate whether in newborns just cleaning the umbilical stump when changing diapers (with water and soap if necessary)is effective in preventing local cord infections and not delaying cord separation as just as cord care alcohol, usually applied in our hospital and suggested to parents at dismission.
The investigators conducted a controlled, prospective randomized study to examine the antiseptic efficacy of intraoperative irrigation methods during nail avulsion surgery.
This study will investigate the non-inferiority of Belotero® Basic versus Juvéderm® Ultra 3 in the treatment of nasolabial folds
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Lytixar™ applied topically to uncomplicated skin infections. Three dose levels of Lytixar™ (1%, 2% and 5%) versus placebo will be tested.
The purpose of this study is to compare the traditional bed bath with 'washing without water' on - 1) effects on skin integrity - 2) patient and nurse satisfaction and 3) costs. In a cluster randomized trial we will randomize 50 nursing home wards (576 patients) to 'washing without water' or traditional bed baths. Bathing regimens are continued for six weeks. Whereas effects on skin damage are not likely to be specific for setting, these results can be generalized to other patient groups.
The aim of the study is an intra-individual comparison of skin conditions in addition to a patient based assessment of product appearance in the topical treatment of atopic eczema.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether an automated electronic reminder system using text messages sent to patient's cell phones will help patients with acne be more compliant with their topical medications and lead to an improvement of their acne. Hypothesis: Automatically delivered electronic reminders in the form of text messages will increase acne patient adherence to topical medications and consequently result in better treatment outcome and higher patient satisfaction
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pathophysiology of nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy (NFD)/nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF).
This is a 3 months single centre clinical patient-oriented study to evaluate the prevalence and impairment in QOL of dermatologic diseases in patients hospitalised in internal medicine. Up to 200 patients hospitalised at the division of internal medicine for any reason are going to be offered participation by a patient information form given to patients at the time of admission, as well as oral information about the study. Written informed consent will be obtained by the investigators after patients have had adequate time to consider their participation in the study. Participating patients will be examined clinically for dermatologic pathologies at a single visit. In the case of signs of dermatologic disease, investigators are going to recommend further diagnostic procedures to the physician in charge and/or the referring physician, depending on the urgency of the suspected diagnosis. This procedure is meant to avoid giving referring physicians the impression that active patient acquisition for the department of Dermatology is an aim of this study. Diagnostic procedures that are performed upon suspicion of a specific dermatologic disease at the Division of Internal Medicine are going to be performed during the hospitalisation period. All other diagnostic or operative procedures are going to be advised to the referring physician. Study participants are going to be interviewed by the investigators about impairment in QOL of their illnesses. Two separate questionnaires are going to be filled in by each participant. For measurement of general QOL, the widely used SF-12 questionnaire (8 questions) is going to be used. To measure specific impairment in QOL by dermatologic disease, participants are going to be asked to fill in the DLQI (Dermatology life quality index, 10 questions). Photographic documentation of specific identified lesions will be made and pictures stored exclusively in the secured electronic patient file (KISIM). Medication and all identified diseases will be noted. All diagnostically useful information is going to be recorded in the patient file and transmitted to the referring physician in the discharge letter.
