چکیده
Background: Objective of the study was to evaluate conjunctival ultraviolet autofluorescence (CUVAF) device, as an indicator ocular (UV) radiation exposure in pterygium and pinguecula among outdoor workers.Methods: Subjects above 21 years age engaged work were enrolled based on inclusion criteria. A standardized questionnaire administered assess lifetime UV erythemal dose noted from tropospheric emission monitoring internet service (TEMIS). Autofluorescence photographs nasal temporal conjunctiva taken using CUVAF tool assessed for presence damage with radiation. Logistic regression done estimate risk.Results: total 229 participants, them 205 (89.5%) males 24 (10.4%) females. This included 75 (32.7%) one or both eyes, 69 (30.3%) 85 (37.1%) normal. Median 45.3 mm2 (IQR 35.1), 17.9 16.0) normal 11.1 25.2) demonstrating significant difference between groups (p<0.001). The positively associated OR: 1.12 (95% CI: 1.05-1.71, p<0.001) 1.10 1.07-1.49, p=0.01). Rural location, literacy status risk factors development odds 2.97 1.46-6.05, p=0.003) 4.84 1.86-12.73, p=0.001) respectively.Conclusions: Increasing found be prevalent pterygium.

متن کاملPterygium and conjunctival ultraviolet autofluorescence in young Australian adults: the Raine study.
BACKGROUND Sun exposure is associated with several ophthalmic diseases, including pterygium which may develop in adolescence. This study reports the prevalence of pterygium and its associations in a large cohort of young Australian adults. Conjunctival ultraviolet autofluorescence, a biomarker of ocular sun exposure, has recently been characterized in some Australian populations. DESIGN Cross...

The total ozone column of 265 ± 11 Dobson Units in the tropical-equatorial zones and 283 ± 16 Dobson Units in the subtropics of Brazil are among the lowest on Earth, and as a result, the prevalence of skin cancer due to solar ultraviolet radiation is among the highest. Daily erythemal doses in Brazil can be over 7,500 J m. Erythemal dose rates on cloudless days of winter and summer are typicall...
