Ultraviolet Skin Marking in Radiation Therapy

The British Journal of Radiology, 1961
The purpose of this communication is to bring to the attention of radiologists a method of marking skin portals in radiation therapy aesthetically. The common practice of using visible, indelible inks, surface dyes and by tattoo, presents a problem to most patients who become self-conscious when markings are on exposed parts of the body or distasteful ...

A Review of Ultraviolet Radiation Therapy

Physiotherapy, 1991
Summary: Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) has been used for many years in the treatment of both skin diseases and wounds. Much work has been carried out to evaluate its effects in disease. This review considers the physiological effects, hazards and efficacy of UVR for a variety of skin conditions.

The occurrence of vitiligo after psoralens and ultraviolet A therapy

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 1983
The ability of photochemotherapy with 8-methoxypsoralen in conjunction with high-intensity long-wave ultraviolet light (PUVA) to stimulate melanogenesis is well known. This effect on the pigmentary system is evidenced by the diffuse tanning of clinically normal skin in PUVA-treated patients with psoriasis and other disorders, as well as by the ...

Photoprotective action of emollients in ultraviolet therapy of psoriasis

British Journal of Dermatology, 1994
An in vitro technique was used to measure the monochromatic protection factors of all emollients available on prescription. The action spectra for ultraviolet erythema and erythema in psoralen-sensitized skin were used to calculate, for each emollient, erythema protection factors relevant to UVB phototherapy and psoralen photochemotherapy, respectively.

ULTRAVIOLET RAY THERAPY IN DERMATOLOGY

Archives of Dermatology, 1924
Twenty-seven years have elapsed since Finsen introduced ultraviolet ray therapy in the treatment of lupus vulgaris and other cutaneous affections. It would seem reasonable to believe that in view of the many experiments since that time in the application of these rays by numerous apparently qualified observers, there would be a reasonable unanimity of ...

Ultraviolet recall associated with etoposide and cyclophosphamide therapy

Clinical and Experimental Dermatology, 1993
Ultraviolet recall (UR) or sunburn reactivation is an infrequently reported phenomenon. It is characterized by an erythematous eruption in the distribution of previous ultraviolet-induced sunburn. The timing of the eruption correlates well with the speculation that it is induced by the administration of a chemotherapeutic agent(s).

THE PHYSICAL ASPECTS OF ULTRAVIOLET THERAPY

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1938
Modern ultraviolet therapy has an interesting historical background. Following the observations of Huldschinsky, who in 1919 cured rickets in children by means of rays from the mercury quartz lamp, advancements have been rapid. It was shown in turn by various investigators that irradiation would produce in foods an antirachitic effect, that this ...

Ultraviolet Light Therapy for Psoriasis

Archives of Dermatology, 1975
To the Editor.— In the April 1974 issue of theArchives, Drs. Stern and Kihiczak reported the results of their attempts to determine the action spectrum of ultraviolet light-induced clearing of psoriasis (109:502, 1974). Using a xenon arc solar simulator and a cold quartz lamp, the authors compared the clearing of psoriatic plaques that occurred after ...

CLINICAL ASPECTS OF ULTRAVIOLET THERAPY

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1938
To write another article on the subject of ultraviolet therapy would seem, at first sight, to be quite inexcusable. There are few subjects on which more papers have been published, few subjects more ably covered in articles of review, and, one might add, no subject more capable of reducing to utter despair an author faced with the necessity of saying ...

Instruments for Measuring Ultraviolet Radiation and the Unit of Dosage in Ultraviolet Therapy

The British Journal of Radiology, 1930
In this paper the following topics are discussed: 1. It is pointed out that time and expense do not permit the general office use of complicated apparatus to determine the intensity of the ultraviolet radiation used for therapeutic purposes; that reliable simple dosage meters do not appear to be available for general use; that by proper standardization
