BACKGROUND Cutaneous melanoma is a skin cancer with low incidence but high mortality rates. Several factors are associated with increased risk of melanoma, such as excessive sun exposure, fair skin, and family history, among others. Little is known about the spatial distribution of this cancer in Brazil. OBJECTIVE To identify, through the use of geostatistical tools, spatial clusters of munic...

A spectrum of weakly guided waves in the solar atmosphere at frequencies as high as 100 mHz (10 s period) has been detected with high-cadence solar image sequences from the Transition Region and Coronal Explorer (TRACE) spacecraft. The waves are visible in the TRACE 1600 far-UV passband and were detected as faint Å ridges in an energy spectrum produced by Fourier transformation of subfields of ...

INTRODUCTION Numerous countries have launched campaigns regarding sun protection in the last decades. AIM The aim of the present study was to assess an intervention program aimed at higher knowledge and healthier attitudes regarding sun protection. MATERIALS AND METHODS The sample consisted of 4,133 students aged 8-12 years from a single Greek province. RESULTS In most items, knowledge le...

Sunscreen use is recommended for the prevention of sunburn and skin cancer. Little is known regarding sunscreen availability in high versus low income communities. We analyzed sunscreen availability in three large metropolitan counties to determine the relationship between availability and community demographics. We included sun care products in all pharmacies and supermarkets open as of July 2...

A 13-residue peptide corresponding to a hydrophobic segment of the antimicrobial 47-residue peptide seminalplasmin, PKLLETFLSKWIG (SPF), has been shown to have antibacterial and hemolytic activities (N. Sitaram and R. Nagaraj, J. Biol. Chem. 265:10438-10442, 1990). In an effort to get an insight into the structural and charge requirements for these biological activities, an analog of SPF in whi...

A further implication of the doctrine of creation from nothing is that all of God’s creatures are intimately connected to one another in an echo of the primordial coinherence of the Trinitarian persons. Since all creation is centered in God, all finite things, despite their enormous differences in size, position, quality, or metaphysical status, are linked together as ontological siblings. When...

The sun protection factor (SPF) of sunscreens is determined by a testing protocol that specifies a sunscreen application rate of 2 mg/cm(2) on the skin. Most people, for cosmetic and economic reasons, only apply enough sunscreen to achieve an SPF of about a third or even a quarter of the level stated on the product. To increase public awareness of the problem, manufacturers could be required to...
