About Copenhagen


Copenhagen, Denmark’s capital, sits on the coastal islands of Zealand and Amager. It’s linked to Malmo in southern Sweden by the Öresund Bridge. Indre By, the city's historic center, contains Frederiksstaden, an 18th-century rococo district, home to the royal family’s Amalienborg Palace. Nearby is Christiansborg Palace and the Renaissance-era Rosenborg Castle, surrounded by gardens and home to the crown jewels. ― Google

Baby sticky tape skin test can predict eczema risk

Feb 16,2020 8:08 am

A sticky tape skin test could help predict if young babies are likely to develop bad eczema, say scientists.

The Team - from the University of Copenhagen - used it on a group of two-month-olds to painlessly collect And Then examine skin cell samples.

They found detectable immune biomarker changes in the cells that were linked with future eczema risk.

Babies at High Risk might benefit from early treatment with skin creams to avoid painful flare-ups, they suggest.

The Youngsters with elevated levels of Thymus and Activation-Regulated Chemokine in their skin cells were found to be More Than twice as likely to develop atopic eczema by the Age Of two as other babies in the study.

The researchers took sticky tape samples from 450 babies in total.

They are presenting their work, which was funded by the Lundbeck Foundation , at a medical conference called the 31st.

One of The Lead investigators, Dr Anne-Sofie Halling from the Bispebjerg Hospital at the University of Copenhagen , said: " To our knowledge, this is The First to show that non-invasively collected skin biomarkers can be used to predict the subsequent onset and severity of paediatric atopic eczema. "

She Said there appeared to be an " open window of opportunity" in The First few months, where successful intervention may reduce The Risk of atopic eczema.

" It is also at this age we were able to identify both immune and lipid biomarkers that predicted the development of atopic eczema.

" Our findings of predictive immune and lipid biomarkers collected at two months of age will help identify children at highest risk of atopic eczema using a non-invasive and painless method, so future preventive strategies can target these children only and prevent cases of this common disease that so many children are suffering from. "

What is eczema?

Andrew Proctor, Chief Executive of The National Eczema Society, said: " This exciting study to identify additional biomarkers adds to our understanding of eczema and opens up new possibilities for preventing the condition developing.

" This will be welcomed by so many parents and children who suffer severely from this debilitating condition. It is fantastic the researchers were able to use tape strips to gather skin cells for the study, which are non-invasive and easier for patients than some other approaches. "
