Prospective Evaluation of Type IV Hypersensitivity Reactions After Aquacel Dressing Application in Partial and Total Joint Arthroplasty Patients
Summary: The aim of this multi-surgeon, single institution study is to prospectively evaluate the incidence of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) following application of AQUACEL Ag, a silver-containing hydrofiber dressing, in total hip and knee arthroplasty patients. Arthroplasty-naïve patients will be compared to prior total joint arthroplasty patients who received a Aquacel dressing postoperatively.
Comparing Tissue Adhesives in Port Site Closure: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Summary: This is a multi-center randomized controlled trial to evaluate two different methods of reinforcing surgical port site closure: 2-Octylcyanoacrylate and n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate.
Adaptive Deployment of DermAI to Evaluate Human Factor of Testing
Summary: The purpose of this research is to improve how well remote patch allergy testing works and make sure they are easy and practical for people to use from home.
Legs vs Back: Patient Experience and Quality of Patch Testing for Allergic Contact Dermatitis on Different Body Sites
Summary: The gold standard for the diagnosis of allergic contact dermatitis is patch testing, during which allergens are affixed to the skin underneath tape and left for multiple days. A large area of clear skin is thus required for successful testing. While the back is traditionally thought to be the ideal area for testing, the thighs may be more available or advantageous. This study seeks to randomize pa...
Improving the Diagnosis and Prevention of Contact Allergy to Rubber Accelerators
Summary: This study will investigate what concentrations of the most common thiurams and carbamates that elicit allergic contact dermatitis under patch test and what concentrations of the rubber accelerators that elicit allergic contact dermatitis by repeated exposures under simulated use conditions. Further, it will investigate whether a damaged skin barrier as caused by wet work increase the severity of ...
Impact of Covid-19 on Occupational Dermato-allergology Consultations of Health Peronnel
Summary: Occupational dermatitis is the second most common occupational disease in Europe, with a notable prevalence among healthcare workers-approximately 20% of whom are affected. However, these figures may be underestimated due to underreporting. Despite the presumed scale of the problem, there is no recent European data providing real numbers. This study seeks to address the knowledge gap regarding the...
Hemp Seed Awareness
Summary: Hemp is a plant of the Cannabaceae family. Cannabis sativa, derived from female flowers, is the first illicit substance used by adolescents and is a major public health problem. Its psycho-active effects come from tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Unlike recreational cannabis, industrial hemp derived from cannabis sativa has a high level of cannabidiol (CBD) but a negligible level of tetrahydrocannabino...
Biologics and Blistering - Using a Contact Dermatitis Model With Biologic Medications to Study Skin Inflammation Through Suction Blistering
Summary: The purpose of this study is to answer: how do inflammation and anti-inflammatory skin therapies work in the skin? Inflammation is a protective response from the body's immune system to injury, disease, or irritation. It is a process by which your body's white blood cells and the things they make protect you from infection from outside invaders such as bacteria and viruses.
Randomized Controlled Trial of Niacinamide Cosmetic Product Efficacy in Model of Irritant Contact Dermatitis
Summary: Testing the effectiveness and safety of cosmetics with niacinamide in irritant contact dermatitis: A Randomised, Controlled Trial will be conducted at USSM. Healthy volunteers will be included (at least 25) and test sites are forearms. Sodium lauryl sulphate will be used to induce contact dermatitis and participants will be measured for 7 days
Testing the Effectiveness of an Intervention in Irritative Contact Dermatitis:Randomized Controlled Trial
Summary: An eczematous reaction is an inflammatory intolerance response of the skin. In acute phase the reaction is characterized by erythema and blistering while in the chronic phase it presents as dryness, itchiness and lichenification. Irritative contact dermatitis describes these patterns of reaction in response to toxicity of chemicals on the skin cells, which trigger inflammation by activation of the...
Molecular Diagnosis of Allergic Contact Dermatitis
Summary: Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is a common inflammatory skin disease, affecting approximately 15-20% of the general population in industrialized countries and ranking first among occupational diseases in many European countries. ACD typically presents as a severe skin inflammation with redness, edema, oozing and crusting. It is characterized by a delayed type IV hypersensitivity response mediat...
The Value of Molecular Signatures in the Diagnosis of Allergic Contact Dermatitis.
Summary: Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is a common inflammatory skin disease, which represents a major public health issue in industrialized countries. ACD is induced by repeated contact of individuals with environmental chemicals and is characterized by a delayed type IV hypersensitivity response with skin inflammation mediated by allergen-specific T cells in sensitized individuals. The current diagno...
