1. Towards a broader use of phototesting : in research, clinical practice and skin cancer prevention
Sammanfattning : In western societies, skin cancer incidence has increased dramatically over recent decades, due predominantly to increased sun exposure habits. Ultraviolet (UV) light exposure and individual light sensitivity of the skin constitute two important factors affecting the risk for skin cancer development. LÄS MER
2. Skin phototesting using a divergent ultraviolet B beam : development and evaluation on a normal material
Sammanfattning : The phototesting method proposed provokes the skin by means of a divergent UVB beam. The beam divergence is induced by an optical plano-concave !ens placed at the opening of the light guide which directs the light from the UV lamp to the skin. LÄS MER
3. Single exposure phototesting and assessment of pigmented skin lesions : quantitative methods in terms of blood perfusion estimates
Sammanfattning : This thesis concerns the development of quantitative phototesting for the investigation of individual skin sensitivity to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and the assessment of pigmented skin lesions (PSL) in terms of blood perfusion estimates. In both cases, laser Doppler perfusion imaging (LDPI) was used to quantify the perfusion. LÄS MER
4. Photosensitivity in cutaneous lupus erythematosus clinical and experimental studies
Sammanfattning : Lupus erythematosus (LE) is an autoimmune disease in which the skin is one of the main target organs. Photosensitivity is a common feature for the different subtypes of cutaneous LE, but photosensitivity has not been well defined. LÄS MER
