Ultraviolet radiation and immunosuppression

British Journal of Dermatology, 2009
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a complete carcinogen. The effects of UV radiation are mediated via direct damage to cellular DNA in the skin and suppression of image surveillance mechanisms. In the context of organ transplantation, addiction of drugs which suppress the immune system add greatly to the carcinogenicity of UV radiation.

A Standard for Ultraviolet Radiation

Applied Optics, 1973
Photoemission diode standards for accurately measuring monochromatic ultraviolet light intensity (3000 A-11OO A) are described that are also blind to visible ligh (lambda> 3600 A). The standard uses an opaque photocathode of Cs(2)Te and is unique because of its combination of thinness (19 mm), high sensitivity (Q.E.

Effects of Ultraviolet Radiation

Medical Clinics of North America, 1990
Ultraviolet radiation from high-intensity sources has well-known acute effects on the eye and skin, consisting primarily of photokeratoconjunctivitis and sunburn, which are enhanced in the presence of photosensitizing agents. Long-term elevated exposure to low-level ultraviolet radiation is also responsible for an increased risk of squamous- and basal ...

Melanoma and ultraviolet radiation

Clinics in Dermatology, 1992
Abstract External ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is the major causative factor for human cutaneous melanoma. In this article the evidence supporting this statement and some of the implications are discussed.

Ultraviolet Radiation and Melanoma

Seminars in Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery, 2011
Melanoma is a particularly aggressive type of skin cancer, and its incidence has been increasing steadily since the 1970s. This article will review the extensive epidemiologic data demonstrating that ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure, from the sun or artificial tanning beds, is the most important environmental risk factor for melanoma; the multiple ...

Ultraviolet Radiation and Pterygium

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1982
To the Editor.— Joseph F. Novak, MD, has concluded that work-related ultraviolet radiation exposure is unlikely to be a direct cause of recurrent pterygium in a welder (1981;246:1019). His observation that pterygia do not occur more frequently in welders than in other groups is compatible with the findings of Emmett et al.

Effects of Ultraviolet Radiation

Annual Review of Physiology, 1946
Interest in obtaining a better understanding of biological effects of ultraviolet radiation has been stimulated to a great extent dur­ ing the last few years by the wide application that ultraviolet has found as a therapeutic agent (1) in genetics (120), in the study of the fundamental structure of living cells (23), and in its wide use in aerobiology (

CORNEA AND ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION

Acta Ophthalmologica, 1980
The absorption of ultraviolet radiation in the cornea of rabbit, cat, guinea pig, and rat has been studied. It turned out that about 80% of incident radiation is absorbed at the 290 nm wavelength limit in rabbit and cat, whereas the absorption is considerably lower in guinea pig and rat.

Work in ultraviolet radiation

Contact Dermatitis, 1980
At 51 departments where work is being done in ultraviolet radiation for sterilization purpose (sterilamps). the light intensity was measured at 254 nm and at 300–400nm. A limit of 0.25 μW/cm2 at 254 nm has been set. In several of the workplaces this limit was exceeded without any decrease in the number of colony forming units, according to the 940 ...
