Medicoeconomic Index for Photo-Induced Skin Cancers

5G Technology: Why Should We Expect a shift from RF-Induced Brain Cancers to Skin Cancers?

Study the Effect of Silymarin and Vitamin C in Skin Aging Induced by UVB Rays on the Mice Skin Redox System

Background: Exposure of the skin against occupational hazards is growing every day. Many scientists are trying to identify aspects about the mechanisms of damages done to the skin by them. The skin is the second metabolism organ of the body where redox-dependent metabolic pathways overcome. By considering the UV index, Iranians are at high risk of UVB damage by generation of reactive oxygen spe...

Retrospective study of the non-Melanocytic skin cancers in Imam Khomeini Hospital of Ahwaz, 1994-98

Background: Non-melanocytic skin cancers (NMSC) including basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) are mostly induced by long life sun ultraviolet radiation (UVR). Although many etiological factors are known in skin cancer, the role of sunlight is the most prominent. Khuzestan is one of the southern provinces of Iran, which has sunny sky and long summer. So it is presumed th...

Effects of micronutrient supplements on u.v.-induced skin damage.

Development of an orally-administered systemic agent that could reduce the effects of u.v. exposure on skin could potentially have a major effect on the incidence of skin cancers and photo-ageing. A number of micronutrients have been suggested to have metabolic properties that could induce this protection, and our data indicate that n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids are particularly effective in ...

Immediate effects of UV radiation on the skin: modification by an antioxidant complex containing carotenoids.

BACKGROUND/AIMS The ultraviolet (UV) portion of sunlight is involved in the induction and development of skin cancers against which a limited photoprotection may be provided by reduced time of exposure, clothing, and sunscreen applications. The concept of an effective, safe, systemic photoprotection will circumvent many of the shortcomings. The UV-induced oxidative stress is a cause of DNA dama...
