Повний текст джерелаOBJECTIVES: Skin cancer is particularly prevalent in Arizona, with incidence rates ranking number two worldwide. Pharmacists are useful advocates for educating patients about the risks of skin cancer and methods of prevention. This study was conducted to assess pharmacists’ knowledge of skin cancer and their demographics and to evaluate how these factors impact skin cancer prevention patient counseling. METHODS: Participants were recruited using a listserv from pharmacists that were members of the Arizona Pharmacy Alliance or preceptors of the University of Arizona College of Pharmacy. Subjects completed an online questionnaire consisting of knowledge- based questions, questions about patient counseling preferences and subject demographics. RESULTS: The average score by pharmacists on the Skin Cancer and Sun Exposure Knowledge Indicator was 5.8 + 1.9. Pharmacists living in Arizona for longer times were more likely to know the minimum recommended SPF of sunscreen for adults to use when outdoors (p=0.003) and the factors associated with malignant melanoma prognosis/survival (p=0.004), but were less likely to know the definition of ABCD acronym (p=0.027). Having a family or friend diagnosed with any form of skin cancer or precancerous skin condition led to more pharmacists knowing the risk factors for developing melanoma (p=0.046) and knowing how often to apply water resistant sunscreen (p=0.035). CONCLUSIONS: The length of pharmacy practice in Arizona and having a family member or close friend affected by skin cancer significantly impacted a pharmacists’ knowledge of skin cancer.

Повний текст джерелаObjectives: The purpose of this study was to describe differences in pharmacists' children and personal skin cancer prevention strategies, clinical outcomes, knowledge and to determine if there were differences based on attending pharmacy school in Arizona or other states. The skin cancer prevention behaviours of pharmacists were also compared to the general public. Methods: Pharmacists registered and living in Arizona with an email address with the State Board of Pharmacy were eligible for the study. A questionnaire was developed based on questions from the NHIS survey. The questionnaire was administered by using an electronic, on-line survey form. Results: Graduates of non-Arizona schools were significantly more likely to have completed a CE course on skin cancer prevention than the Arizona group (16% vs. 6%). Both groups were not significantly different in gender and work sites. The knowledge of pharmacists in both groups were very similar (p > 0.1) except for knowledge of photosensitivity for certain drug classes (p = 0.043).Pharmacists were most knowledgeable on risk factors for melanoma (97%) Pharmacists were least knowledgeable on when sunscreen should be applied (20%) responded correctly and the minimum age for using sunscreen in children (26%) responded correctly. Pharmacists were more than twice as likely to use sunscreen as the general population (72% vs. 31%). Conclusions: Pharmacist graduates of non-Arizona schools (Non-Arizona group) used a similar number of skin cancer prevention strategies as graduates of Arizona schools (Arizona group). Sun protective measures utilized by parents for their children were superior to parents' own self-care sun protection measures.

Exercise has been previously reported to lower cancer risk through reducing circulating IGF-1 and IGF-1-dependent signaling in mouse skin cancer models. This study is to investigate the underlying mechanisms by which exercise might impact IGF-1 pathway regulated by p53 and p53-related proteins in mouse skin epidermis. Female SENCAR mice were pair fed an AIN-93 diet with or without 10-week treadmill exercise at 20 m/min for 60 min daily. Animals were topically treated with TPA or vehicle control 2 hours before sacrifice and the target proteins in the epidermis were assessed by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting. Under TPA or vehicle treatment, MDM2 was significantly reduced in exercised mice compared with sedentary control. Meanwhile, p53 was significantly increased. In addition, p53 transcription target proteins p21, IGFBP-3, and PTEN were elevated in response to exercise. An interaction between exercise and TPA was observed on the decrease of MDM2 and increase of p53, but not p53 down-regulated proteins. Taken together, exercise appears to activate p53 by reducing MDM2 suppression, resulting in enhanced expression of p21, IGFBP-3 and PTEN that might further induce a negative regulation of IGF-1 pathway and therefore contribute to the observed cancer prevention by exercise in this mouse skin cancer model.

Повний текст джерелаIntroduction. Les bancs solaires émettent des radiations ultraviolettes (UV) pour induire un bronzage cosmétique. Ils sont classés par l’Organisation Mondiale de la Santé comme carcinogènes de premier groupe: ils sont significativement associés à un risque accru de mélanome et de cancers cutanés non-mélanome. Malgré ça, des controverses existent toujours :comme leur utilisation permet d’accroitre le taux sérique de vitamine D, l’industrie du bronzage artificiel n’a cessé de les promouvoir comme thérapeutique sans danger et certains auteurs ont récemment mis en doute la carcinogénicité des bancs solaires. Par ailleurs, les différences entre les pays européens en terme de prévalence et de facteurs déterminant l’utilisation des bancs solaires n’ont pas été clairement étudiées. De la même façon, la relation entre bronzage artificiel et facteurs de risque de cancérisation cutanée reste floue. Euromelanoma est une campagne pan-européenne annuelle de prévention de cancers cutanés, où des questionnaires récoltent les données des participants (usage des bancs solaires, phénotype et informations cliniques inclus).Objectifs. Décrire de manière approfondie la prévalence, les déterminants et les risques associés à l’utilisation des bancs solaires en Europe. Dans ce but, nous avons réalisé des revues de littérature (3 publications) et une analyse extensive de la base de données Euromelanoma qui couvre 30 pays européens (2 publications).Méthodes. Pour les 3 revues, nous avons cherché dans toute la littérature publiée en anglais sur les moteurs de recherche les plus utilisés, en employant des mots clés pertinents. Les participants des 2 études Euromelanoma ont rempli des questionnaires colligeant les facteurs démographiques et de risque, le type et la durée d’utilisation des bancs solaires. Des analyses multi-variées ont permis d’évaluer les facteurs indépendamment associés à l’usage des bancs solaire dans chaque pays.Résultats. Les revues de littérature ont montré que :(i) les utilisateurs européens sont typiquement des femmes jeunes/adultes, amatrices de soleil, fumeuses, ressortissantes des pays nordiques, motivées par des raisons esthétiques et préférant les centres de bronzage, même si des exceptions existent ;(ii) dans le cas d’une carence en vitamine D, le rapport risque/bénéfice est clairement en faveur de la supplémentation en vitamine D plutôt que du bronzage artificiel ;(iii) tous les critères épidémiologiques de causalité s’appliquent à la relation entre les bancs solaires et le mélanome. Les études Euromelanoma ont été réalisées sur 227,888 individus (67.4% femmes, âge médian 44 ans) issus de 30 pays. La prévalence globale d’utilisation des bancs solaires était 10.6%, mais était plus élevée dans les pays nordiques et non ensoleillés, l’Italie et l’Espagne faisant exception. Dans tous les cas, les femmes avaient une prévalence d’utilisation plus élevée que les hommes. Des particularités géographiques ont été relevées dans 4 régions :la péninsule ibérique (prévalence 10 fois plus élevée en Espagne qu’au Portugal), les Balkans (disproportions excessives de prévalence entre femmes et hommes), les pays baltiques (la prévalence la plus élevée chez les jeunes/adultes), et scandinaves (la prévalence la plus élevée chez les adolescents). Avoir utilisé au moins une fois un banc solaire était indépendamment associé avec :un nombre de naevi >50 [summary odds ratio (SOR)=1.05 (1.01-1.10)], la présence de naevi atypiques [SOR=1.04 (1.00-1.09)] et des lentigines [SOR=1.16 (1.04-1.29)] et la suspicion de mélanome [SOR=1.13 (1.00-1.27)]. Conclusions. La revue complète de la littérature nous permet d’affirmer que le débat sur la relation causale entre bancs solaires et mélanome doit être clos et que leur utilisation pour corriger un déficit sérique en vitamine D n’est pas sans danger. L’analyse Euromelanoma sur l’utilisation des bancs solaires et les facteurs de risque de cancer cutané suggère que le bronzage artificiel devrait toujours être dissuadé, spécialement mais pas exclusivement chez les individus avec des phénotypes à haut risque. Les données de la prévalence et des facteurs déterminant l’utilisation des bancs solaires constituent un intérêt de santé publique et devraient permettre de cibler les actions nécessaires à la réduction du bronzage artificiel en Europe.

Повний текст джерелаAs doenças oncológicas são um dos principais problemas a nível mundial e, em Portugal, representam a segunda causa de morte. Os rastreios oncológicos têm como objetivo a deteção precoce de cancro permitindo a redução da mortalidade e, muitas vezes, da incidência. Não existe um rastreio único para todos os tipos de cancro, mas sim exames específicos para os diferentes tipos. A sua realização deve ter como base uma ponderação dos riscos e benefícios em conjunto com o médico. Em Portugal, atualmente, apenas existe consenso relativamente à utilidade da realização dos programas de rastreio do cancro do colo do útero, do cancro da mama e do cancro colo-retal. Este trabalho tem como objetivo a revisão dos diferentes rastreios oncológicos realizados em Portugal no que respeita aos tipos de cancro pertencentes ao Plano Oncológico Nacional 2001-2005. Dada a sua importância, também será referido o cancro da próstata, o cancro da pele e os marcadores tumorais. Cancer is a worldwide major problem, being the second cause of death in Portugal. Cancer screenings are aimed at early cancer detection allowing the reduction of mortality and also often incidence. There is no single screen for all types of cancer, but specific tests for the various types. Its achievement should be based regarding the risks according to the medical opinion. In Portugal, currently, there is only consensus regarding the usefulness of the screening programs for cervical cancer, breast cancer and colorectal cancer. The current study aims to review the different cancer screenings performed in Portugal according the National Oncological Plan 2001-2005. Due to its importance, it will be also exposed prostate cancer, skin cancer and tumor markers.

Nesse trabalho analisaremos o direito à saúde no meio ambiente de trabalho da construção civil, através da perspectiva do risco, prevenção e políticas públicas, com ênfase na atividade que expõe o trabalhador à radiação solar e que, por conseguinte, pode ser fator decisivo para o diagnóstico do câncer de pele. As peculiaridades que envolvem o trabalhador exposto à radiação solar são complexas e vão desde a falta de previsão legal do agente radiação solar como insalubre até a dificuldade em se caracterizar o nexo causal câncer de pele como doença ocupacional. A análise estará focada no risco advindo da exposição à radiação e nos seus efeitos legais. Nesse contexto de risco, a prevenção é essencial para concretizarmos o direito à saúde no local de trabalho, e essa extensão do direito à saúde é fruto de uma leitura constitucional, em especial a partir do art. 196 e do art. 7º, inciso XXII, que faz alusão à prevenção no meio ambiente de trabalho. Nesse contexto, as políticas públicas mostram-se como um instrumento garantidor da prevenção às doenças e da concretização do direito à saúde no ambiente de trabalho. Para esse estudo, utilizaremos a teoria dos sistemas sociais como referencial teórico.
In this work we analyze the right to health in the working environment of construction, from the perspective of risk, prevention and public policy, with emphasis on the activity that exposes the worker to solar radiation and therefore can be a decisive factor for diagnosis of skin cancer. The peculiarities involving workers exposed to solar radiation are complex and range from the lack of legal provision Agent solar radiation as unhealthy to the difficulty in characterizing the causation of skin cancer as an occupational disease. The analysis will focus on risk from radiation exposure and its legal effects. In this context of risk, prevention is essential to materialize the right to health in the workplace, and this extension of the right to health is the result of a constitutional reading, especially from the art. 196 and Art. 7, paragraph XXII, which alludes to the prevention in the work environment. In this context, public policies are shown as an instrument guaranteeing the prevention of diseases and the implementation of right to health in the workplace. For this study, we use the theory of social systems as a theoretical framework.

Повний текст джерелаThe objective of this master thesis is to understand the influence of social marketing campaigns on skin cancer prevention, focusing on Portugal with the case of APCC (Associação Portuguesa de Cancro Cutâneo). Firstly, it was conducted a literature review on social marketing to understand its concept, evolution, applications and tools to study behavior change. The literature also included the topic of skin cancer, to comprehend what it is and its types, providing background on the topic. Moreover, there was a focus on skin cancer prevention campaigns, zooming in on Portugal with the case of APCC. Secondly, data was collected and analyzed through a combination of primary research (interviews to people involved in APCC campaigns) and secondary research (analysis of data of surveys about skin cancer prevention behaviors conducted in APCC campaigns). Finally, it was presented a social marketing campaign brief, providing recommendations on segmentation, communication objectives and marketing mix strategy for future skin cancer prevention campaigns to be implemented in Portugal.

Повний текст джерелаSkin cancer is the most prevalent, preventable cancer in Australia (Cancer Council Australia, 2015). However, the majority of skin cancers could be prevented “if the public could be persuaded to adequately protect themselves from the sun” (Jones, Rees, Johnson, & Tang, 2005, p. 189). Celebrity spokespersons are often engaged to feature in public service announcements that promote skin cancer prevention messages. However, the impact of a celebrity without medical training, in comparison to a spokesperson with medical training is unknown. This program of work investigated the impact of different spokespersons on delivering skin cancer prevention messages. It explored the association between spokesperson type (celebrity, medical practitioner, and celebrity doctor), intention to act, and message acceptance. Source credibility and its three character dimensions (expertise, physical attractiveness, and trustworthiness) provided the theoretical underpinning. Nationwide, participants (n=1,191) took part in one of three online studies. Study 1 examined the effect of spokesperson type and source expertise on intention to act. Study 2 explored the relationship between spokesperson type, level of source attractiveness, and audience age on message acceptability. Study 3 assessed the association between spokesperson type, payment disclosure, source trustworthiness, and intention to act. Participants were directly asked their preferred option for spokesperson in each study. Source expertise had a significant impact on intention. Source attractiveness, however, did not impact message acceptance, with the hypothesised relationship of attractiveness being valued more by younger audiences not substantiated. Though trustworthiness had a significant effect on intention, disclosure of spokesperson payment information did not impact trustworthiness. Finally, participants for each study overwhelmingly reported preference of receiving information from a medical practitioner spokesperson (92%–97%) rather than a celebrity or a celebrity doctor. More research on this topic is recommended, including theoretical applications and collecting additional information to explore the impact of spokesperson on different socio-economic groups. Results support use of medical practitioner spokespersons for cancer prevention messages. Physical attractiveness is not important for message acceptance, nor is disclosure of spokesperson payment essential.
