UV radiation and the Eye

It has been said that aside from skin, the organ most susceptible to sunlight-induced damage is the eye. In view of this, it can be argued that the optical industry and the eye care professional have an obligation, or at least, an opportunity, to educate the public more widely on the dangers of ocular exposure to UV and how best to achieve protection. This article summarises our understanding o...

UV-radiation, apoptosis and skin.

Apoptosis or programmed cell death is a key function in regulating skin development, homeostasis and tumorigenesis. The epidermis is exposed to various external stimuli and one of the most important is UV radiation. The UVA and UVB spectra differ in their biological effects and in their depth of penetration through the skin layers. UVB rays are absorbed directly by DNA which results in its dama...

Room decontamination with UV radiation.

OBJECTIVE To determine the effectiveness of a UV-C-emitting device to eliminate clinically important nosocomial pathogens in a contaminated hospital room. METHODS This study was carried out in a standard but empty hospital room (phase 1) and in a room previously occupied by a patient with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) or vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) infection (...
