Cancer Prevention02:59

Cancer Prevention

6.5K
Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

5.2K
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

3.6K
The first thing a clinician sees is the skin, so the examination of the skin should be part of any thorough physical examination. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal if untreated. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs.
Albinism
Albinism is a genetic disorder that affects (completely or partially) the coloring of skin, hair, and eyes. The defect is primarily...

Role of Skin in Vitamin D Synthesis01:23

Role of Skin in Vitamin D Synthesis

8.1K
The skin plays a crucial role in the synthesis of vitamin D, a vital nutrient for various physiological processes in the body. Vitamin D is unique because it can be synthesized in the skin through a series of chemical reactions triggered by exposure to ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation from sunlight.
The solar UV B rays (290-315 nm) are absorbed by the skin, and 7-dehydrocholesterol (provitamin D3) photolyzes it to previtamin D3, which undergoes a rapid transformation to vitamin...

Acne Infection01:27

Acne Infection

94
Acne is a multifactorial skin condition primarily affecting adolescents and young adults, with a global prevalence estimated to exceed 75% in this demographic. The condition is characterized by the formation of comedones (blackheads and whiteheads), papules, pustules, nodules, and, in severe cases, cysts, particularly in areas rich in sebaceous glands such as the face, neck, chest, and back. The pathogenesis involves increased sebum production, follicular hyperkeratinization, colonization by...

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Dermatology
  • Public Health Interventions

Background:

  • Outdoor workers face significant ultraviolet radiation exposure, increasing their risk of skin cancer.
  • This review updates evidence on interventions for skin cancer prevention in this high-risk group.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review interventions for skin cancer prevention in outdoor workers.
  • To assess the effectiveness of interventions on sun protection behaviors and skin cancer risk.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic evidence-based review of interventions published between 2007 and 2012.
  • Inclusion of six papers meeting specific criteria, focusing on sun protection behaviors and objective risk measures.

Main Results:

  • Educational and multi-component interventions demonstrated efficacy in increasing sun protection behaviors.
  • Increased use of personal protective equipment, such as sunscreen, was observed.
  • Limited evidence exists for the effectiveness of policy-level interventions or specific intervention components.

Conclusions:

  • Further research is necessary to enhance outdoor workers' attitudes toward sun protection.
  • Developing an overarching framework for sun protection interventions is recommended.
