Photoaging Mobile Apps as a Novel Opportunity for Melanoma Prevention: Pilot Study

JMIR mHealth and uHealth, 2017
BackgroundAround 90% of melanomas are caused by ultraviolet (UV) exposure and are therefore eminently preventable. Unhealthy tanning behavior is mostly initiated in early adolescence, often with the belief that it increases attractiveness; the problems ...

Skin Cancer Predisposition Genes, Full‐Body Skin Examinations, Familial Disclosure, and Genetic Testing Among High‐Risk Individuals

International Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background There is a lack of knowledge in full‐body skin examinations (FBSEs) in the context of pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants (PV/LPV) in skin cancer predisposition genes (CPGs). This study assessed the association between carrier status of PV/LPV in skin CPGs and FBSEs and described the patterns of family letter receipt, familial ...

Pharyngeal and Cervical Cancer Incidences Significantly Correlate with Personal UV Doses Among Whites in the United States [PDF]

, 2014
Because we found UV-exposed oral tissue cells have reduced DNA repair and apoptotic cell death compared with skin tissue cells, we asked if a correlation existed between personal UV dose and the incidences of oral and pharyngeal cancer in the United ...

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.

Transcriptional benchmark dose modeling of ultraviolet radiation‐induced genomic activation in mouse skin

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UV‐R) from tanning equipment increases skin cancer risk through molecular changes, but genomic thresholds remain unclear. Using mice, we examined dose‐ and time‐dependent gene expression after erythemally‐weighted UV‐R doses (0–40 mJ/cm2).
