Beyond Skin and Eyes: The Medical and Social Burden of Oculocutaneous Albinism in Africa: A Narrative Review

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) is a genetic disorder found worldwide, but its impact is particularly pronounced in the African continent. This results from both a higher prevalence and the persistent myths and superstitions surrounding the condition in many African communities.

Vitiligo and Skin Cancer Risk: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis With Subtype and Phototherapy Stratification

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Vitiligo was associated with directionally lower odds of melanoma and non‐melanoma skin cancer in this systematic review and meta‐analysis of 14 studies. A statistically significant inverse association was observed for squamous cell carcinoma. Phototherapy exposure showed higher, but non‐significant, point estimates for melanoma and non‐melanoma skin ...

Fixed Solar Eruption: A Case Report

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fixed eruption is characterized by recurrent lesions at identical anatomical sites after exposure to a trigger. Although most cases are drug‐induced, ultraviolet (UV) radiation has also been reported as a causative factor. We report a case of fixed solar eruption diagnosed by histopathology and 308 nm excimer light phototesting.

Current challenges in photoprotection [PDF]

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 2017
Electromagnetic radiation in the ultraviolet, visible, and infrared ranges all produce biologic effects. Ultraviolet filters are the most well-studied photoprotective measure for the adverse effects of ultraviolet radiation. Because of the reported endocrinologic effects of oxybenzone in animal studies, its effects on coral reefs, and its photocontact ...

The Ratio of A400/A1800 Mapping Identifies Chromosomal Regions Containing Known Photoprotection Recovery-Related Genes in Rice

Rice
The rice, like other plants, undergoes photoprotection mode by increasing nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ) in high light intensity (> 1200 µmol m− 2s− 1 PPFD), which attenuates photosystem II yield (φPSII) drastically.

Sun Protection Behaviours in Skin Cancer Survivors: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Skin cancer, including melanoma and non‐melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), is one of the most prevalent cancers worldwide. Although sun protection behaviors, such as sunscreen use, protective clothing, and shade‐seeking, are crucial in preventing skin cancer recurrence and secondary malignancies, adherence to these behaviors among ...
