Background: Accelerated partial breast irradiation via interstitial balloon brachytherapy is a fast and effective treatment method for certain early stage breast cancers however skin, chest wall and Lung doses are correlated with toxicity in patients treated with breast brachytherapy.Objective: To investigate the percentage of the dose received by critical organ (skin), thermoluminescence detec...

Franz cells (2-chambered, air/fluid phase static diffusion devices, previously used for the study of drugs across viable human skin) are utilized for the first time to investigate the process of infection of human skin by Schistosoma mansoni cercariae. Skin obtained from cosmetic surgery sources was used in the Franz cells to describe the temporal dynamics of the early interaction of cercariae ...

Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer and there are two forms: melanomas and melanoma (basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma). The main risk factor in both types of skin cancer is exposure to sunlight and other sources of ultraviolet radiation. In comparison with basal or squamous cell carcinoma melanoma skin cancer is less common but more serious if not treated early, and ca...

Skin cancer is the most frequent cancer in the white population worldwide. Incidence of basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and malignant melanoma (MM) is still increasing. This trend can be counteracted by means of primary and secondary prevention because the main risk factor for skin cancer - UV-radiation - is known, and, early detected, skin cancer can be cured successf...

albright syndrome is a rare condition, usually appears in the early years of life and characterized by bending or thickening of long bones. in girls, of endocrine glands disorders especially precocious puberty are the most common symptoms. also, brown pigments in the skin are another sing of this syndrome. certain mucosal and skin pigments are considerable features of the disease. etiology and ...

Introduction: Skin cancer has been increased day by day, but it can be cured if it diagnosed early. After reviewing the scientific literature about 980 nm diode laser, and its multiple advantages on skin diseases. We studied in this paper the effectiveness of this type of laser on the progression of skin cancer among hamsters which were exposed to carcinogen on the bac...

Image-based computer aided diagnosis systems have significant potential for screening and early detection of malignant melanoma. We review the state of the art in these systems and examine current practices, problems, and prospects of image acquisition, pre-processing, segmentation, feature extraction and selection, and classification of dermoscopic images. This paper reports statistics and res...
