Filter by:This study is to investigate the current use and intention to use of teledermatology in Swiss dermatology patients, dermatologists, other physicians and medical staff.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Dermal Cooling System for lightening of benign pigmented lesions and to assess additional cosmetic benefits.
The aim of this study is to describe the real clinical use of Dalbavancin in Spain between January 2018 and December 2019.
The physiological states of the skin are characterized by a certain homeostasis linked to the balance of the metabolic pathways. When these pathways are deregulated, the proteic, lipidic and metabolic is affected. It is thus possible to follow a change in the state of the skin by looking at change in the associated molecular profile. The PRISM laboratory (INSERM U1192) in Lille has developed an innovative system laser called SpiderMass composed of 4 parts: 1. A laser used for the micro-sampling of material in vivo, 2. A transport transfer line of the ablated particles, 3. A mass spectrometer that analyzes them in real time and generates the molecular profiles of the epidermis, 4. A data analysis procedure. The SpiderMass(TM) is of great interest for the study of the skin because it allows non-invasive vivo characterization, and therefore without biopsy or sample preparation. In addition, it will complement techniques already used in the research center such as FTIR spectroscopy. Indeed, in acne studies the FTIR allows to obtain only the Fatty Acid Triglycerid ratio while the SpiderMass permits to detail these lipid classes by each observed molecule on the surface of the skin and follow their evolution.

'Expand Your Horizons', a self-help writing intervention that seeks to train individuals to focus on what their body can do (functionality) rather than what it looks like (appearance), has produced promising results in improving body image. However, it has not been adapted and trialled in populations with conditions affecting skin appearance. This research therefore seeks to evaluate the potential for 'Expand Your Horizons' to (1) improve body image, as measured by body and functionality appreciation; and (2) improve skin-specific outcome, as measure by skin-shame, dermatology and quality of life, in a population with dermatological conditions, using a Randomised Control Trail.
Design and beta-test a research-oriented mobile health app to assess disease activity, quality of life, treatment patterns, adverse medication effects, and lifestyle factors in patients with atopic dermatitis.
Introduction: Previous studies confirm that teledermatology allows the generation of a quick response from the specialist's consultation, reduction of unnecessary travels, early diagnosis and priority in the attention to the most urgent cases. Despite these advantages and that teledermatology has experienced exponential growth since its introduction approximately 16 years ago in Spain, in Andalusia, its use is still very limited. The objective of this project will be to carry out an analysis of the quality of life related to health, costs, cost-utility and informal care of teledermatology services in Primary Care compared to conventional monitoring carried out at the Hospital de Poniente. Methodology: A randomized, controlled, unmasked, inter-level clinical trial (Primary Care-Hospital de Poniente) and multicentre (all health centers attached to the Poniente Health District of Almería) will be carried out with a 6-month follow-up. Patients will be assigned to the teledermatology group (experimental) or the conventional monitoring group in the hospital (control). The patients included in the experimental group will be monitored asynchronously. Baseline characteristics, number of visits to the hospital, health-related quality of life, costs, informal care and satisfaction from the perspective of the Andalusian Public Health System and patients and their caregivers will be analyzed. The generic EuroQol-5D questionnaire (EQ-5D) will be administered to assess health-related quality of life and the SKINDEX-29 quality of life dermatological questionnaire. A cost-utility analysis will be performed to assess whether tele-dermatology is cost-effective in terms of additional cost for additional quality-adjusted life years (QALYs).
