Histopathological Comparison Between Superficial Pressure Ulcers and Incontinence-associated Dermatitis...
Pressure UlcerIncontinence-associated Dermatitis2 moreThis study aims to identify differences and similarities between superficial pressure ulcers (category II and III) and incontinence-associated dermatitis (category IIA) at tissue level. Skin biopsies will be obtained from 30 patients with pressure ulcers (n = 10), incontinence-associated dermatitis (n = 10), and combined lesions (n = 10). The results from the histopathologic examination will be compared with the clinical diagnosis by wound care experts, which will be based on photographs and relevant patients' characteristics.

BM Collection From NICU Infants for Composition
Diaper DermatitisThe primary objective of this study is to collect feces from premature infants over a five weeks period to characterize its composition. Metabolomics, Proteomics, Genomics and Microbiome analyses and cell-based assays will be performed to identify individual components present in feces, which may contribute to the onset of irritation in the diapered area of premature infants.

BM Characterization Pilot
Diaper RashThis is a prospective, pilot study to explore the relationship between an infant's nutrition, skin and stool composition at different ages.
