Objective: The primary objective is to investigate whether sensitive skin fundamentally differs from *normal skin*. In this study, we try to identify the morphological and functional characteristics of sensitive skin by provocation of the skin with…
To determine the relationship between phenotypic, genetic and biochemical features of AD. , Relevant bimarkers of the skin barrier function including the levels of NMFs, inflammatory mediators (e.g. IL-1 cytokines), SC lipids and serine proteases…
This study's major aim is to determine whether a relation can be found between specific penile HPV types and the presence, quantity and size of flat penile lesions. Secondly, other possible determinants, such as HIV status, circumcision status…
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):…
The objective of this studie is to gather knowledge about cytokine concentrations (IL-1 *) in the skin of healthy volunteers after the application of shear- force. We want to use this knowledge in the future to investigate if different prophylactic…
To test the suitability of OCT for in vivo imaging of the vascularisation and surrounding tissue of burn wounds and scars.
To investigate the changes in facial- and hand analysis in patients with acromegaly as a result of medical treatment and pituitary surgery, and to investigate the changes in relational proportions between facial- and hand structures, incidence and…
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 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, treated with topical steroids.
In this project we would like to answer the following questions: To what extent are increased micro-vessel density (MVD) and excessive angiogenesis in inflammatory skin diseases observed during different phases of the disease (i.e. acute/…
The primary objective of this study is to detect significant difference in the average response to histamine, topically and iontophoretically applied to the skin, between sensitive and non-sensitive skin volunteers. Skin reactions are assessed with…
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…
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.
ACT reduces the incidence of PTS after DVT. In the Dutch CBO-guidelines current therapy is adviced for 2 years after diagnosis because most PTS develops within 2 years after DVT, with a peak incidence in the first year.Some clinicians claim that one…
The objective of the study is mapping and assessing of the effects of filaggrin mutation on atopic eczema and other atopic diseases together with serological parameters.
With this project we would like to answer the following questions:To what extent do we observe Treg toTh17 conversion in inflammation of the human skin, as elicited in response to general standardized skin injury (i.e. tape-stripping and topical…
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.…
This is a pilot study with the objective of studying the effect of vaselin on TSLP expression in nonlesional human AD skin.
