“…UV rays are a potent modulator of cell growth and differentiation [1] , and DNA seems to be the principal target of UV radiation [5] . UV radiation can cause mutations in genes, such as the p53 tumour suppressor gene, which, when activated, can lead to cell proliferation and genomic instability [10,24] .…”

Effect of Work-Related Ultraviolet Exposure and Ophthalmic Changes in Austrian Farmers: The SVB-UV Study

et al. 2010

Background: Epidemiological screening to examine possible ultraviolet-induced ocular changes and pathologies in Austrian farmers. Methods: The study was performed on behalf of the Austrian farmer insurance (Sozialversicherungsanstalt der Bauern). Randomly selected farmers and office workers as controls, both at the age of 35–55 years, underwent ophthalmic screening examinations. All subjects underwent complete ophthalmic examinations by slit lamp examination and Schirmer’s test 1. A survey, regarding per- sonal habits in the sun, was also conducted. Results: Three hundred and ninety-two subjects underwent ophthalmic examinations of whom 297 were farmers and 95 were controls. Due to the survey, 89.7% of the farmers claimed to protect themselves from the sun during work. From these subjects, 83.7% wear a head protection, 71.0% wear sunglasses, and 54.4% usually work in the shade. There were significant differences in lid (p = 0.021) and conjunctival pathologies (p < 0.0001) between farmers and controls. Conclusion: Austrian farmers are at a higher risk for developing lid and conjunctival tumours which require treatment at some point. We believe that the study group was too young to show significant differences within the lens and the posterior pole. A 5-year follow-up is planned.

Cancer is a major public health problem in the United States and many other parts of the world. One in 4 deaths in the United States is due to cancer. Oral cancer (OC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide. Oral cancer can be divided into three clinic-pathological categories: carcinoma of the lip vermillion, carcinoma of the oral cavity proper, and carcinoma of the oropharynx. The chief predisposing factors are tobacco use, alcohol consumption, and persistent viral infections such as HPV 16. Oral cancer is particularly dangerous because in its early stages it may not be noticed by the patient, as it can frequently prosper without producing pain or symptoms they might readily recognize, and because it has a high risk of producing second, primary tumors. The incorporation of OralID in the first-line practice settings, such as dental offices and primary health care settings may be a boon to population for their regular check up for early detect ion of pre malignant lesions.

“…[2] The risk of skin cancer and skin damage due to these harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays can be reduced through protective behaviors such as avoiding midday sun, wearing sunscreen, using protective clothing and avoidance of artificial ultraviolet (UV exposure), such as indoor tanning beds. [3][4][5][6] Although complete avoidance of all forms of UV exposure is ideal, it is not always possible among certain populations, namely, the skiers and snowboarders; consequently, enhancing sun exposure awareness to increase sun protection behavior is a reasonable approach for this group.…”

Objective: Snow sport enthusiasts, such as snowboarders and skiers, are a less studied population at significant risk for ultraviolet (UV) exposure due to long hours spent at high altitudes with more intense UV radiation. Studies have documented the efficacy of UV photography to impact sun protection habits by individuals with a range of skin cancer risk factors. Informing snow sport enthusiasts of their sun damage through UV photography may be a way to change this population's perception and behavior of sun protection. Methods: A UV camera was utilized at the 2013 SnowSports Industries America Snow Show in Colorado to assess the level of accumulated sun damage in show attendees. A follow-up survey was performed at this same event one year later in 2014. Participants at the 2013 event were recruited to a UV camera booth and completed a ten-question pre-survey assessing baseline sun-safety awareness and behaviors. Full-face frontal photographs using two different UV camera models were then taken and shown on a digital screen to the participants. Individualized education was provided regarding the degree of sun damage revealed by the intervention as well as sun safety recommendations. Participants were at the 2013 event were then contacted via email six months later to complete a ten-question survey on surveymonkey.com. The survey assessed the permanence of the UV photography intervention on sun habits over the duration of the ski/snowboard season. Email was used for communication purposes after a poor response rate using telephone for a one-month post-intervention follow-up. Results: The 2013 post-intervention study revealed a 41% response rate (n=46) with overall positive influence of UV photography on sun protection behavior in the survey. Post-intervention survey results for the 2014 study with an observed response rate of 28% (n=37) with a similar overall positive influence of our intervention on sun protection behavior. Conclusions: UV photography-based interventions and education may impact sun-safety behavior in high-risk populations such as skiers and snowboarders that may otherwise not receive appropriate education regarding the dangers of UV exposure
