Simple Hygiene Versus Alcohol Based Usual Care for Umbilical Cord

InfectionSkin Diseases2 more

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 Analysis of Hair Count in Healthy Taiwanese Persons by Trichoscope

Dermatosis

Horizontal sectioning of scalp biopsy is a better method for evaluating hair disorders than vertical sectioning because it enables the quantitative examination of hair follicles at different stages. Without having the quantitative data of normal scalp hair counts as controls, it is impossible to evaluate scalp biopsies for hair disorders. In recent years, trichoscope is more popular in analysis of hair disease. It is less invasive and simple. The aim of this study is to understand the pros and cons of trichoscpoe.

Analysis of Cutaneous and Hematologic Disorders by High-Throughput Nucleic Acid Sequencing

Cutaneous LymphomaOther Skin Disorders2 more

The goal of this study is to identify genetic changes associated with the initiation, progression, and treatment response of response of cutaneous and hematologic disorders using recently developed high-throughput sequencing technologies. The improved understanding of the genetic changes associated with cutaneous and hematologic disorders may lead to improved diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic options for these disorders.

Topical Antibiotics for Prevention of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Central Line Infections

Blood Stream InfectionsSkin Diseases1 more

The purpose of the study is to determine if the overall central venous catheter related infection rate can be reduced by the application of Polysporin Triple Therapy ointment to the insertion site.

Identification of Vulnerability Factors in the Course of Pemphigus Patients

PemphigusDermatological Disease

The bullous pemphigoid treatment is based on corticosteroids continued for several years. Pemphigus causes some patients a psychological impact and sometimes major vulnerability that can occur not only at diagnosis but also at later stages of disease progression. Our hypothesis is that these episodes of vulnerability may be under four kinds of factors that may be connected to the plurality of the history of these patients, and the resources they can mobilize throughout this experience, generating inequality in management and "work" around the disease.

Phase 1 Study of HF-LED-RL in Fitzpatrick Skin Types I to III

Skin DiseasesKeloid3 more

The goal of this study is to establish the safety of high fluence LED-RL at fluence of 480 J/cm2 and 640 J/cm2 in healthy non-Hispanic, Caucasian subjects. The hypothesis is that high fluence LED-RL phototherapy is safe in non-Hispanic, Caucasians.

Mechanisms of Action of Photo(Chemo)Therapy in Skin Diseases

PsoriasisCutaneous T Cell Lymphoma9 more

The molecular mechanisms of action of photo(chemo)therapy in skin diseases are investigated in this study. The phototherapeutic modalities employed include UVB (ultraviolet B), UVA (ultraviolet A), PUVA (psoralen+UVA) and/or extracorporeal photochemotherapy (photopheresis). The study will address whether and how photo(chemo)therapy affects specific biologic pathways in different skin disorders and search for predictive biomarkers.

Early Feasibility Study: Application of OCT Imaging in Dermatology

Skin Diseases

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an established medical imaging technique that uses light to capture biological images from within optical scattering media (e.g., biological tissue). A high-resolution OCT has the characteristics of non-invasive, label-free, real-time, cellular resolution with high tissue penetration depth that are highly valuable for clinical use. AMO has developed an in-vivo OCT scanning system prototype based on the clinical needs and potential applications. This study is designed as an early feasibility study aiming for validation of AMO's in-vivo OCT scanning system in dermatology through collaboration with Mackay Memorial Hospital. The OCT can provide cellular-resolution (<1μm in lateral and axial directions) images which can be utilized to identify organelles. A high-resolution OCT has the characteristics of non-invasive, label-free, real-time, cellular resolution with high tissue penetration depth that are highly valuable for clinical use. The proposed scenario in this study is to collecting OCT images of skins with suspicious lesion including tumor, inflammatory diseases or pigment alteration as well as normal skin by using AMO's in vivo OCT imaging system. By using traditional pathological biopsy images or dermoscopic images as gold standard references, investigators will try to identify different characteristics in OCT images of skin with suspicious lesion including tumor, inflammatory diseases, or pigment alteration as well as normal skins.
