Aug 25th, 2021 - Sunlight is the major environmental agent to which the skin is exposed. Injudicious exposure to wavelengths in the ultraviolet spectrum can lead to sunburn, aging of the skin, skin cancer and a variety of photosensitivity diseases, many of which h...

Aug 25th, 2021 - Erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) and X-linked protoporphyria (XLP) are genetic defects of heme biosynthesis that cause life-long, painful cutaneous sensitivity to light. EPP and XLP, collectively called the protoporphyrias, result in the accumu...

Jul 13th, 2021 - Photosensitivity is well documented among lupus patients and is one of the diagnostic criteria for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Photosensitivity is highly prevalent in lupus and has a wide range of clinical presentations. However, photosens...

Apr 5th, 2021 - Takeaway High citrus consumption was associated with a significantly increased risk of melanoma. Consumption of oranges and orange juice showed an independent association with the risk of melanoma. Why this matters Findings support previous eviden...
