The outline of our work delineates the isolation and evaluation sun screening activity melanin producers such as Pseudomonas mosselli STGRDS1, putida STGRDS3, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens STGRDV11, subtilis STGRDV5 cereus STGRDT12. All isolates were tested against fungal STGRDM1, which was used control throughout study. Sun Protection Factor (SPF) formulated creams containing 5% 10% determined wi...

The exposure of skin to ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation has a destructive effect on keratinocytes by causing DNA damage that can subsequently lead to malignant transformation. Cellular defense mechanisms against this injury begin with the immediate UVB-induced death of damaged cells. In less severely affected cells, cell-cycle progression can be blocked and DNA damage can be repaired through nucl...

Exposure to ultraviolet radiation is an important risk factor for skin cancer. The Global Solar Ultraviolet Index (UVI) was developed as a tool to visualize the amount of harmful radiation and to encourage people to use sun protection. We conducted a systematic review of the effectiveness of the UVI. We employed a comprehensive search strategy to explore the impact of the UVI on five outcome ca...

BACKGROUND Outdoor workers are at risk of high ultraviolet radiation exposure, and may have difficulty using sun protection. The objectives were to determine the prevalence of sun protection behaviors in a sample of outdoor construction workers, and to assess which factors predict better sun protection practices. METHODS Participants were recruited via construction unions. Workers answered a ...

Background: Sun protection materials have been one of the major concerns in pharmaceutical industry since almost one century ago. Various materials have been found to have such an effect but there are still many unknown substances that have not been discovered.Objective: To introduce a novel mineral-based sun lotion with considerable UV absorption properties compared to commercially available s...

Background: The development of serum preparations containing natural ingredients for sun protection is growing rapidly. Jamblang (Syzygium cumini) leaves are rich in phenolic compounds that can inhibit free radicals causing premature aging. Therefore, this study aims to determine the potential S. cumini extract as protection. Methods: was prepared and included base. formulations were evaluated ...

INTRODUCTION Knowledge of the dangers of sun exposure does not always lead to changes in behavior. Failure to make behavioral adjustments is of particular concern in high-risk patients. OBJECTIVES a) To assess the impact of melanoma diagnosis on knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors relating to sun protection, and b) to identify factors that could influence sun protection behaviors. METHODS A...
