Primary Objective: To define a top set of genes that most reliably (r >=0.95) distinguish psoriasis from normal skin. We will define this set from differential methylation genes to indicate potential biomarkers.Secondary Objective(s):…
To investigate the acceptability and feasibility of exercise therapy in an aquatic environment by patients after burn injury.
Primary Objective:Pilot study: Selection of the titanium derivatives which are capable of penetrating the skin, and thus can be used in the full study as patch test materials.Full study: To compare the results of three different diagnostic tests…
Objective: We want to extend our understanding of the disease aetiology by performing a small pilot study that incorporates other immunologic sites involved in the disease (the skin and the microbiome) while additionally strengthening our disease…
Primary objective: To prospectively evaluate the lesion (AN-)count, i.e. abscesses, inflammatory nodules, and draining sinuses, in the axilla treated with MWA compared to the untreated contralateral axilla after six months.Secondary objectives: - To…
To investigate whether the upregulation of CK16 and Ki-67 (a marker for cell proliferation) in the FPSU is specific for HS, measured in inflammatory nodules and pseudo-comedones, in comparison to other dermatologic conditions that have comparable (…
The objective of this study is to analyse the microbiome of the skin of patients with ichthyosis vulgaris (FLG -/-). This microbiome will be compared to the microbiome of healthy volunteers (FLG +/+) and first grade family members of patients with…
By means of this in vivo study, we try to non-invasively get insights into the pharmacokinetics of PPD applied to the human skin. By studying penetration rate, penetration depth, allocation to different skin departments (stratum corneum, epidermis,…
This single-center investigation will assess the prevalence of psoriasis in a population of patients with hepatitis C and compare the prevalence in those patients receiving pegylated interferon-* therapy to those not receiving pegylated interferon…
The major aim is to apply deep sequencing technology to obtain a detailed unbiased overview of the bacterial microbiome of human skin. This will be performed in healthy individuals, psoriasis patients and atopic dermatitis patients. Furthermore, we…
The aim of this study is to detect the hitherto unknown factors which possibly can explain the difference in acetylation. Therefore we need to collect blood from PPD allergic patients and healthy volunteers, to determine not only the genotype, but…
In the present project we would like to find out whether we can observe Treg into Th17 conversion in lesional skin and in the peripheral blood of patients with AD and compare the results to our findings in psoriatic patients and healthy controls.…
Setup method for detection of STAT3 phosphorylation in human blood derived from patients with various chronic inflammatory diseases.Test the effect of new compounds on this phosphorylation process.
ObjectiveEvaluation of the application of cultured autologous keratinocytes in combination with a meshed split skin autograft to improve burn wound healing
Because the pathophysiology of SSc is unknown, there is currently no treatment available to cure the disease itself, so only individual organ system complications are treated (7,8). Therefore, treatment is patient-specific and aimed at ameliorating…
To compare the efficacy of alitretinoin and azathioprine in the treatment of severe chronic non-hyperkeratotic hand eczema.
To investigate whether the levels of a panel of biomarkers in dried blood spots can be used as a disease severity measurement tool in patients with AD or psoriasis.
The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of a negative pressure dressing (Prevena (TM) IMS) with a standard wound dressing (care as usual) in clean closed surgical wounds on the prevention of wounddehiscence in patients, undergoing an…
The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of skin anesthesia using fractional laser assisted delivery of articaine hydrochloride 40 mg/ml and epinephrine 10 µg/ml solution compared to standard anesthesia with topical eutectic mixture of…
In this study, the following questions will be answered:1. Does larval therapy accelerate wound healing?2. Do single larval secretions accelerate wound healing?3. Is the bacterial load in the wound reduced during larval therapy or is the microbiome…
