Changes in Mammary Gland Morphology and Breast Cancer Risk in Rats09:36

Changes in Mammary Gland Morphology and Breast Cancer Risk in Rats

30.2K
Our protocol describes how to dissect the rat abdominal mammary gland and how to prepare mammary gland whole mounts. It also describes how to analyze mammary gland morphology using three end-points (number of terminal end buds, epithelial elongation and differentiation) and to use these results to predict mammary cancer risk in rats which were exposed to dietary modifications in utero or during...

Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

5.7K
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...

Perceiving Loudness, Pitch, and Location

944
The human brain perceives pitch through two primary mechanisms reflected in place theory and frequency theory. Each mechanism describes how sound waves are interpreted as specific pitches by the brain, offering insights into the intricate processes of auditory perception.
Place theory, or place coding, suggests that different pitches are heard because various sound waves activate specific locations along the cochlea's basilar membrane. The brain determines the pitch of a sound by...

Chemical-induced Two-stage Skin Carcinogenesis Model: An Experimental In Vivo Mouse Model of Skin Cancer

2.1K
This video describes the procedure to induce two-stage skin carcinogenesis to study tumor initiation by topical application of chemicals. In the first step, a mutagen, DMBA, is applied onto the skin of a mouse model which initiates tumor formation by causing mutations in the stem cells, followed by the application of a growth stimulator, TPA, which accelerates skin papilloma...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Patients who believe sunscreen offers greater skin cancer risk reduction use it more often. This highlights the importance of perceived efficacy in promoting sunscreen use for preventing basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Public Health
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Understanding factors influencing sunscreen use is crucial for effective clinical counseling.
  • Perceived efficacy of sunscreen is linked to its use, but the impact of efficacy magnitude remains unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate if a greater perceived efficacy of sunscreen, specifically a larger reduction in skin cancer risk, correlates with increased sunscreen usage.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was conducted among 131 patients with a history of skin cancer who were receiving treatment at a Mohs micrographic surgery center.

Main Results:

  • Participants perceived sunscreen could reduce basal cell carcinoma (BCC) risk by 61.1%, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) by 59.4%, and melanoma by 59.5%.
  • The perceived magnitude of risk reduction for BCC, SCC, and melanoma independently predicted sunscreen use (BCC: OR 3.5, p=.04; SCC: OR 2.8, p=.05; Melanoma: OR 5.0, p=.002).

Conclusions:

  • A stronger belief in sunscreen's ability to reduce skin cancer risk is associated with higher rates of sunscreen use.
  • These findings underscore the significance of perceived efficacy in motivating sunscreen adoption for skin cancer prevention.
