Kloeppel, Physical Sciences Editor kloeppel@uiuc.edu Photo by Bill Wiegand Postdoctoral research scientist Kerry Hanson developed a technique to peer into the skin to study how it is affected by ultraviolet radiation. But there is hope, says a University of Illinois researcher who developed a technique to peer into the skin and study how it is affected by ultraviolet radiation. The addition of antioxidants such as vitamins E or C can help prevent skin cancer and keep skin firm and young looking. "Ultraviolet radiation is known to cause several forms of skin cancer, including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell cancer and deadly melanoma," said Kerry Hanson, a postdoctoral research scientist in the UI’s Laboratory for Fluorescence Dynamics. "But many important questions remain, such as in which layers of the skin, and in which parts of skin cells, the initial damage occurs."

Russia Ready to Vaporize the Jewish State And then kick America out of the Eastern Hemisphere’s oilfields joe.vialls@ntlworld.com Israeli Dolphin Class attack submarines, unwittingly provided free-of-charge by German taxpayers “When the end finally comes for Israel, it will all be over in microseconds. Flying faster than rifle bullets, the Sunburns will approach Tel Aviv and Haifa at twice the speed of sound, detonating in blinding white 200 Kiloton flashes designed to instantly transform animal vegetable and mineral into heat and light.” During the Cold War of the sixties, the only thing stopping American or Russian psychopaths from taking over the entire world was the doctrine of Mutually Assured Destruction [MAD], where a multiple ICBM launch by America on Russia or vice versa, would automatically lead to a “doomsday” response by the nation under attack. Mutual destruction of both America and Russia was thereby guaranteed, resulting in nearly thirty years of unprecedented peace and quiet, caused solely by mutual nuclear fear. About one month ago, Russia discreetly invoked MAD again, but this time in the Middle East in direct response to hysterical Israeli threats to nuke Iran with submarine-launched American Harpoon missiles. Quietly and with the minimum of fuss, Russia deployed its most advanced tactical nuclear missiles and crews to both Syria and Iran, thereby sending an unmistakable diplomatic signal that if Israel attacked Tehran or Damascus with nuclear weapons, Russia would in return instantly and anonymously vaporize the Jewish State.

Of these, UV-B is the most dangerous kind to people, increasing the risk of sunburns, cancers, and cataracts. The Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) aboard the Earth Probe spacecraft, tracks ozone depletion as well as determining ultraviolet radiation penetrating the ozone layer to reach the ground. ONE YEAR OF UV UPS AND DOWNS Annual UV levels throughout the world for August 2000 - July 2001. Things to watch for include very high levels of UV exposure during the Southern Hemisphere summer in Australia and southern Africa due to more open and cloud-free areas. Less atmosphere over the Himalayas in Asia account for high UV rates. Desert dust over the Sahara and smoke from fires in Indonesia and Mexico absorb UV radiation, meaning lower UV rates in those areas.

Sunburn General Welcome/Mission Health Centers Services Departments ... Links/Resources The sun is a mixed blessing. In small doses it helps you use the vitamin D consumed through your diet, offers psychological benefits, and may help acne and other skin problems. Unfortunately, it can also cause skin to: wrinkle prematurely age burn and blister turn rough and leathery become cancerous You are at greater risk for sunburn and skin cancer if you: spend much time or work outdoors have light or fair skin have light-colored eyes burn or freckle easily have a personal or family history of skin cancer Causes of Sunburn Ultraviolet light is the culprit in sunburn. It is invisible and cannot be felt, yet seventy or eighty percent penetrates water and clouds, and can be reflected off water, sand and snow. As the atmosphere thins at high altitudes, more rays filter through. For these reasons hikers, skiers, swimmers, and beach-goers need to protect themselves from overexposure to sun, and especially from the rays of ultraviolet light. Certain substances can make the skin more susceptible to burning: drugs, such as certain antibiotics and birth control pills, or antibacterial agents in medicated soaps and creams. In addition, many drugs and chemicals are sun-sensitive and may cause allergic-type rash on parts of the body exposed to the sun.

Sunburn VOL 115 / NO 5 / MAY 2004 / POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE Download this Patient Note in PDF format You've stayed at the beach longer than you'd planned, and now your skin is red and painful. Sunburn damages your skin and can increase your risk of skin cancer. Fortunately, there are some things you can do to lessen the pain and to prevent it from happening again. Why does my skin burn rather than tan? The skin contains melanin, a pigment that protects the skin and gives it a brownish cast after it is exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun. Sunburn occurs when the amount of exposure to UV light exceeds the ability of melanin to protect the skin. People with light skin burn sooner than people with darker skin. You can burn even in the shade. What are the risks of sunburn? In the short term, a severe sunburn can cause swelling, blisters, and fever. Long-term effects may include early skin wrinkling and skin cancer. One type of skin cancer, melanoma, is particularly deadly. How can I prevent sunburn? Stay out of the sun between 10 AM and 2 PM , when UV light from the sun is at its most intense and is most damaging. Avoid tanning booths. If you must be in the sun, smooth on a generous amount of sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) higher than 30. People with fair skin should use a sunscreen with an SPF of 45 or higher. Sunscreens should be applied 30 to 60 minutes before sun exposure.

What's the best way to treat my daughter's sunburn? For starters, make sure your child drinks plenty of fluids; she's probably dehydrated from being out in the sun. To soothe the sunburned area, soak a cloth diaper or clean washcloth in cool water, wring it out, and gently place it on the sunburned area for 10 to 15 minutes a few times a day (just make sure your child doesn't get chilled). Or let her soak in a cool bath. (Adding baking soda or Aveeno, an oatmeal-based bath treatment, to the water can make it more soothing.) Giving her children's acetaminophen (Tylenol) or children's ibuprofen (Advil) can also ease the pain.

100. Altitude Increases Sunburn Risk Altitude Increases sunburn Risk SCHAUMBURG levels. New research confirms that the higher the altitude, the quicker a person will develop sunburn. http://www.aad.org/PressReleases/altitude.html

Camp Discovery Contact Us Kids' Connection Medical Web Guide ... Skin Cancer Updates Altitude Increases Sunburn Risk SCHAUMBURG, IL (January 13, 1999) Skiers, hikers and others enjoying outdoor activities in the mountains have long believed that the amount of time it took them to develop sunburn was shorter than when they were at lower levels. New research confirms that the higher the altitude, the quicker a person will develop sunburn. In fact, the risk gets greater faster with increasing altitude than initially suggested. A researcher from the Ronald O. Perelman Department of Dermatology at the New York University School of Medicine used a hand-held meter (National Biological Corporation Model 500-C) to measure UV light energy in three locations: Vail, Colorado; Orlando, Florida; and New York, New York. The readings were taken at solar noon in direct sunlight on cloudless days. "We found that the direct UV-B levels at 8,500 feet in Vail, Colorado, were approximately 60 percent higher than at sea level in New York," said Darrell S. Rigel, MD, the lead author of the study. "In addition, the direct UV-B levels in Vail were the same as those in Orlando, a site nearly 775 miles closer to the equator." The intensity of the UV-B exposure suggests that a person having an average complexion, with unprotected skin, would burn after only six minutes of sun exposure on a clear day at noon in Vail at 11,000 feet above sea level. The same person would develop sunburn after 25 minutes of noontime exposure in New York or 14 minutes of unprotected noontime exposure in Orlando.
