An interventional study of Venous blood collection and Raman spectroscopy in Dermatologic Disorders and Disorder of Cholesterol Metabolism, sponsored by University of Vienna. Completed. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 65 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2016-08-03.
Sponsored by University of Vienna · Not applicable and Interventional
The purpose of this study is to
I. determine several skin parameters, for example natural moisturizing factor (NMF) and cholesterol, with Raman spectroscopy in vivo and
II. compare the results with the corresponding cholesterol levels measured in venous blood.
In vivo Raman experiments will be carried out weekly on voluntary participants using a RiverDiagnostics gen2-SCA Skin Composition Analyzer (RiverDiagnostics, Rotterdam, Netherlands). All experiments will be carried out on the volar forearm. Semi-quantitative concentration profiles for several skin parameters will be determined, for example natural moisturizing factor (NMF) and cholesterol.
Additionally the total cholesterol level will be detected by venous blood sample analysis. The blood samples will be taken weekly within two weeks, similar to the Raman measurements.
