Filter by:Foot lesions can be developed during hiking because of external factors. This makes it important to study the effect of hiking equipment on lesion development. This study analyzes the extrinsic factors involved in the appearance of injuries at the feet during the realization of a route of low difficulty and short travel. 33 participants wore cotton not technicians socks in his two feet, were used like control socks and 76 participants wore technical socks "Tierra" and "Set" one on each foot.
Skin cancers represent a real public health issue. The diagnosis of pre-cancerous lesions thus is a priority. The diagnosis gold standard is based on the combination of clinical and histopathological examinations. Nevertheless, the clinical examination is not sufficiently effective, meaning that a biopsy has to be done for each suspected lesion. In order to avoid unnecessary biopsy excisions, a new medical device (DERMAPOL) was designed to help dermatologists in diagnosing skin lesions. This medical device combined with its software is a strong and ergonomic spectro-polarimetric imager instrument. It can realize images of the superficial cutaneous tissues and subcutaneous tissues close to the surface by exploiting polarized light properties. This first clinical trial aims to demonstrate that this medical device is able to segment effectively healthy and tumor tissues and that it can correlate main semiological elements (identified thanks to the clinical and histopathological examinations) to the physico-optical characteristics obtained on the images of the medical device.
This protocol will take measurements of a variety of tumors involving the skin in order to assess changes in tumor oxygen from hyperoxygenation therapy and standard cancer-directed treatments, to demonstrate the clinical feasibility of using in vivo Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) Oximetry to obtain clinically useful measurements of tumor oxygen levels from cancer patients.
This prospective, open label, muti-center study evaluates the use of Nano-Pulse Stimulation (NPS) in the treatment of Sebaceous Hyperplasia (SH) lesions less than 2.5mm in size.
The goal of the SFI is to provide non-invasive information about tissue remodeling occurring during melanocytic transition and atypia development in the skin
The incidence of surgical site infection (SSI) infection in clean dermatologic surgery is very low, between 1-3%. Studies have demonstrated a much higher infection rate in skin excision surgeries in the lower limbs, up to 10% in most studies, and even 35.7% infection rate in a recent study from Australia. To our knowledge, there are no clinical trials demonstrating the efficacy of prophylactic antibiotic given prior to skin lesion excision from the lower limbs.
Prospective, non-randomized, open-label study to evaluate the dermal cooling system for cryotherapy of common skin conditions.
The purpose of this study is to establish the clinical utility of the Melanoma Detection System (MDS).
The primary objective of Part One of this study is to determine the sensitivity of an automated total body digital photography (TBDP) app to detect color and size changes in the human skin, and whether a new lesion has arisen. The primary objective of Part Two is to test the sensitivity and specificity as well as feasibility of field use of an automated TBDP app to detect pigmented and non-pigmented skin lesions in high risk populations.
Adverse events are frequent in Neonatal Intensive Care Units' (NICU) patients and account for a high morbidity and mortality. Possible severe adverse events are central line associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI), ventilator and catheter associated adverse events and medication errors. Severity of the patient's outcome after an adverse event can be classified using the National Coordinating Council for Medication Error Reporting and Preventing (NCC MERP) Index for categorizing medication errors. The study will test the hypothesis that rates of adverse events in NICU patients will be reduced by the implementation of an educational program for the NICU caregivers (nurses and physicians), consisting of strategies for recognizing and preventing adverse events in their unit. These strategies will be oriented to prevent CLABSI, medication errors, skin and nasal complications and ventilator and catheter-associated adverse events. This trial has a stepped wedge cluster design, in which the NICUs from 12 hospitals in France will be randomized to the timing of implementation of the educational program. In order to describe the adverse events occurring during the study period, an anonymous voluntary adverse event reporting system will be provided to the caregivers of the participating units. A nested study will examine how caregivers communicate with the patients' parents in case of adverse event (disclosure or not, and caregivers' reasons). The rates of adverse events will be measured retrospectively using a neonatal NICU trigger tool.
