Active clinical trials for "Dermatitis"

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is the most common chronic inflammatory skin disease. Clinical studies have demonstrated a link between staphylococcal skin colonization and the pathogenesis of AD, but the implication of bacterial virulence factors remains largely uncharacterized. Finally, AD is often associated with herpes simplex skin infections. The aim of this project is to investigate the role of staphylococcal toxins in the exacerbation and maintenance of atopic skin inflammation and in the occurrence of infectious complications such as eczema herpeticum.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of ALDH2 mutation in radiation associating dermatitis or mucositis in head and neck cancer patients who accept chemoradiation therapy

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease, affecting 20% of all babies and children around the world. Diagnosis of atopic dermatitis is clinical and depends on the existence of at least two out of the four following criteria: itching, a chronic disease course with exacerbations and remission ,rash with characteristic distribution and shape , atopia of the patient or family by history. Initial treatment is based on keeping skin moist and avoiding a flare-provoking stimuli and allergens. The research product A-1 COOL is a skin cream approved by the Israeli Ministry of Health for cooling down of skin irritation. A-1 COOL is rich in herbal medicine ingredients and does not contain steroids.A-1 COOL can be beneficial in Atopic Dermatitis patients due to its following action mechanisms: sealing of the inflamed skin and retention of water, prevention of the itching cycle by keeping the skin moist, disinfection of the skin by the herbal ingredients.

The aim of this study is to assess the influence of kind of allergic disease, allergic profile, allergen exposure, treatment method on lung function parameters, fractional exhaled nitric oxide level in children suspected and being diagnosed due to allergic diseases.

Clinical single-blind randomized comparison with the overall objective of evaluating the clinical efficacy of the products Nutracort lotion and Nutracort cream in the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis on the face. Will be held clinical and perceived efficacy assessment and instrumental measurements. Each product will be applied at half face for 7 consecutive days and all applications will be monitored in the research site. 60 volunteers will be recruited. Evaluations will be held at the following times: T0 - before the initial application of the product; T1 - 24 hours after starting treatment, T2 - 48 hours after starting treatment, T3 - 72 hours after initiation of treatment, T4 - 96 hours after the start treatment, T7 - 7 days after initiation of treatment.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic pruritic inflammatory skin disease of unknown aetiology. Global prevalence rates range from 1%-20%.AD is often worsened by stress and anxiety.Plasma levels of 5-HT were found to be positively correlated with the disease severity.

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: A laser used for the micro-sampling of material in vivo, A transport transfer line of the ablated particles, A mass spectrometer that analyzes them in real time and generates the molecular profiles of the epidermis, 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.

The aim of this study is to measure the serum levels of CCL17, CCL18, CCL22 and CXCL10 and their expression levels in epidermis in AD and ND patients.

The Bone-Anchored Hearing Aid (Baha) system consists of an implanted part and sound processor. The system provides a hearing solution for a subgroup of patients who cannot sufficiently profit from conventional hearing aids. Disadvantageous are its high rate (up to 40%) of associated peri-implant dermatitis. This research project is part of an attempt to reduce the amount of peri-implant dermatitis. Besides an attempt of Holgers to identify the skin flora in relation to infection around the abutment using a standard culture which yielded limited and no clinically relevant results, little is known about the microbiome on the abutment or its interaction with the commensal skin flora. Moreover, conventional cultures are not very sensitive in identifying bacteria. In 2010, Budding et al. introduced IS-pro. Is-pro is a novel 16S-23S rDNA interspace (IS)- region-based profiling method. This technology was devised to enable high-throughput molecular fingerprinting of microbioma. Since IS-pro is quick and relatively inexpensive, these environments can also be monitored over time by repeating the test. This paves the way for researching the microbiome on the abutment and it could enable clinically objective follow up of treatments in vivo using the human as a host. This technique allows researchers to even discover unknown, previously unidentified bacteria. Additionally, Scanning Electron Microscopy will be used to assess the spatial distribution and composition of bacteria on the abutment. The first step, using these techniques, is to determine the bacteria which inhabit the abutment also in relation to the surrounding skin. Additionally, the relationship with skin-implant infections and the effect of treatments will be monitored. Depending on these primary scientific results, a subsequent study will be devised to study (experimental) treatments in a randomized, controlled fashion. Objectives of the study: To identify the bacterial flora on the abutment in a phylum/species classification. To assess the relationships between the commensal skin flora and the flora on the abutment and to study if clinical signs of peri-implant skin infection and subsequent treatment are associated with a change in bacterial composition. To assess if there exists a relationship between skin hygiene and the transient skin flora.

This is an expanded access program (EAP) for eligible participants. This program is designed to provide access to upadacitinib prior to approval by the local regulatory agency. Availability will depend on territory eligibility. A medical doctor must decide whether the potential benefit outweighs the risk of receiving an investigational therapy based on the individual patient's medical history and program eligibility criteria.
