Epiceram Australia

Supervision lasts 6 month. Likely dermatitis, demarcated by the physician's diagnostic of the dermatitis, which was not confirmed by the researchers. - A parent who has a known sensitivity to one of the EpiCeram components. - Children with severe obstetric or premature infantary complications who need to be admitted to a specialised crèche.

• Adults whose mothers or fathers are unable to follow all recorded attendance and procedure. Assignment lists will remain hidden from the coordinator and other researchers who administer the recruiting of students. At 40 people per group, we should have enough numbers to prove that EpiCeram (brand name) significantly reduces the chance of developing sweet itch and increases the babies' ability to act as barriers to dermatitis.

On the basis of our recent experiences with a similar trial (Probiotics in the Prevention of Ezema Prevention of Ezema - PEPS) using similar screening and evaluation results, approximately 35% of babies in the controls will show signs of developing dermatitis at the ages of three or six month. As this is a relatively intense therapy and EpiCeram has a significant effect on the management of dermatitis, we anticipate a strong decrease in severity of dermatitis symptom in the group.

Redesigned estimation calculated on 80% performance to show a very large discrepancy in six month dermatitis (35% in checks, 5% in interventions group). When we have 40 babies per group, we have over 80% energy to recognize a TEWL differential of 26 g/cm2/hour for the controlling group to 19 g/cm2/hour in the intervening group (assuming an sd = 11 and an alfa reading of 0.05).

Figures are analyzed according to the intent to treat approach, i.e. regardless of the degree of adherence to the trial protocols, or if they have stopped using EpiCeram therapy, they are analyzed in the group to which they were assigned. Where there are clear variations between groups in the basic hazard factor risks associated with the risks of developing an allergy (gender, smoking burden, parent education), several logistical or straight-line regulatory approaches are used to compensate for these basic inequalities.

Log analyses are conducted to establish whether a certain amount of adherence (on average at least three day use or 36 g of creme per week) is needed for the therapy to be efficacious. The parent's reports on both the route of use and the importance of the crème used are used as possible indicators of the risks of incidence of eczema.

It will help establish whether less frequently (or less) use of the trial creme might be enough to decrease the chance of itching. As asthma affects about 20% of infants, it is a major cause of hospitalization and we do not know how to stop the development of infants. Childhood sweet itch is also prevalent and affects about one third of all infants.

Babies with dermatitis often suffer from late development of bronchial tubes. This is a hypothetical sensitization to an allergen that can appear through injured skins in connection with dermatitis, which can increase the risks of developing bronchial tubes. Assuming this is the case, it may be possible to avoid bronchial tubes by enhancing the functioning of the baby's integument. Indications are that a ceramide-based emulsion (which contains the main constituents of the skin) can enhance the skin's ability to act as a skin barrier, whereas present treatment for dermatitis does not.

The purpose of this trial is to assess whether twice a day use of a ceramide-dominant plasticizer can enhance the baby's dermal barriers and inhibit the progression of dermatitis in high-risk cubs.
