Title

Climatic conditions and the reporting of sun-protective behavior survey data: a brief report.

Source

American Journal of Health Promotion. 15(4):241-3, iii, 2001 Mar-Apr.

Abstract

Two hundred thirty-one spectators at a Cricket match in Brisbane, Australia, were interviewed and observed to determine their sun protective behaviors, and these

behaviors were compared to the temperature and amount of cloud cover at the time of the study. People tended to protect themselves from the sun when there was less

cloud cover and temperatures were higher.

Title

Human thermoregulatory responses during heat exposure after artificially induced sunburn.

Source

American Journal of Physiology. 262(4 Pt 2):R610-6, 1992 Apr.

Abstract

Thermoregulatory responses in the heat (ambient temperature 49 degrees C, 20% relative humidity, 1 m/s wind) were investigated in 10 unacclimated men during 50

min of cycle ergometer exercise (approximately 53% of maximal aerobic power) after a 10-min rest before as well as 24 h and 1 wk after twice the minimal erythemal

dose of UV-B radiation that covered approximately 85% of the body surface area. In 7 subjects esophageal temperature (Tes) was recorded while in all 10 subjects

five-site skin and rectal temperatures, heart rate, and back, left forearm, and shielded (12 cm2 area) right forearm sweating rates (msw) were recorded at 15-s

intervals. Venous blood was collected before and after exercise-heat stress. Mean skin temperature, Tes, rectal temperature, heart rate, and total body sweating

rate were not significantly (P greater than 0.05) affected by sunburn. Pre- and postexercise values of hematocrit, hemoglobin, plasma protein, plasma volume, and

plasma osmolality were!

also not affected (P greater than 0.05) by sunburn. Analysis of presunburn and post-sunburn data showed that the Tes intercept for sweating (degrees C) was

unaffected (P greater than 0.05), but msw/Tes and final msw from the left forearm (msw/Tes 0.24 +/- 0.02 vs. 0.17 +/- 0.01 mg.cm-2.min-1. degrees C-1, P less than

0.05; msw 0.60 +/- 0.05 vs. 0.37 +/- 0.02, mg.cm-2.min-1, P less than 0.05) and back (msw/Tes 0.43 +/- 0.03 vs. 0.36 +/- 0.01 mg.cm-2.min-1. degrees C-1, P = 0.052;

msw 1.08 +/- 0.09 vs. 0.74 +/- 0.05 mg.cm-2.min-1, P less than 0.05) were significantly reduced 24 h postsunburn.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Title

Human thermoregulatory responses during cold water immersion after artificially induced sunburn.

Source

American Journal of Physiology. 262(4 Pt 2):R617-23, 1992 Apr.

Abstract

Thermoregulatory responses during cold-water immersion (water temperature 22 degrees C) were compared in 10 young men before as well as 24 h and 1 wk after twice

the minimal erythemal dose of ultraviolet-B radiation that covered approximately 85% of the body surface area. After 10 min of seated rest in cold water, the mean

exercised for 50 min on a cycle ergometer (approximately 51% of maximal aerobic power). Rectal temperature, regional and mean heat flow (hc), mean skin temperature

from five sites, and hearrt rate were measured continuously for all volunteers while esophageal temperature was measured for six subjects. Venous blood samples were

collected before and after cold water immersion. The mean skin temperature was higher (P less than 0.05) throughout the 60-min cold water exposure both 24 h and 1

wk after sunburn compared with before sunburn. Mean hc was higher (P less than 0.05) after 10 min resting immersion and during the first 10 min of exercise when 24

h postsu!

nburn was compared with presunburn, with the difference attributed primarily to higher hc from the back and chest. While rectal temperature and heart rate did not

differ between conditions, esophageal temperature before immersion and throughout the 60 min of cold water immersion was higher (P less than 0.05) when 24 h

postsunburn was compared with presunburn. Plasma volume increased (P less than 0.05) after 1 wk postsunburn compared with presunburn, whereas plasma protein

concentration was reduced (P less than 0.05). After exercise cortisol was greater (P less than 0.05) 24 h postsunburn compared with either presunburn or 1 wk

postsunburn.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Title

Nontraumatic injuries in amateur long distance bicyclists.

Source

American Journal of Sports Medicine. 13(3):187-92, 1985 May-Jun.

Abstract

All 132 participants in a 500 mile, 8 day bicycle tour were surveyed by questionnaire to characterize the demographics and bicycling experience of the riders, and

to determine the frequency and severity of nontraumatic injuries they experienced. Riders who developed significant symptoms were interviewed and/or examined.

Eighty-six percent of ride participants responded to the survey. The average age of the riders was 41.4 years (+/- 11.7 years). They rode an average of 95.8 miles

per week on a routine basis, but the majority were new to long distance touring. Most were healthy, but 5% had serious cardiovascular disease and bicycled as part

of a rehabilitation program. The most common nontraumatic injury was buttocks pain (experienced by 32.8% of riders); four had skin ulceration of the buttocks. Knee

problems occurred in 20.7% of riders; patellar pain syndromes and lateral knee complaints were the most common knee problems. One cyclist withdrew from the tour

because of knee !

pain. Neck-shoulder pain occurred in 20.4% of the riders. Groin numbness and palmar pain or paresthesias each occurred in approximately 10%. Other less common

problems were foot and ankle symptoms and sunburn.

Title

Recurrent herpes labialis in skiers. Clinical observations and effect of sunscreen.

Source

American Journal of Sports Medicine. 15(1):76-8, 1987 Jan-Feb.

Abstract

Recurrent orofacial herpes infection may be triggered by high altitude skiing, presumably because of solar ultraviolet radiation exposure. Six (12%) of a group of

51 subjects with a history of skiing-triggered herpes observed during 1 week of high altitude skiing experienced reactivations of orofacial herpes a median of 3 1/2

days after exposure. Within this group, application of a sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 failed to influence the reactivation rate as compared

with a placebo. Reactivation of herpes triggered by skiing is common. As application of a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 did not appear to influence the reactivation

rate, alternate approaches to the control of recurrent orofacial herpes are needed.

Title

The development of a sunscreen.

Source

Australian Family Physician. 5(1):55-68, 1976 Jan-Feb.

Abstract

Australians generally admire an evenly tanned skin, and the ability to acquire such a tan without much or any discomfort due to burning, is widely prized and

envied. Various topical sunscreens have been introduced in order to facilitate the attainment of such a state, and this paper describes the stages in the

development of such a product. The final product must obviously contain an active ingredient with the necessary selective filtering properties. This ingredient, and

the vehicle in which it is presented, must be free of sensitising properties and must not cause acute or chronic toxic effects. Finally, it must be shown, under

various typical conditions of use, to possess overall efficacy in terms of protecting from burning while permitting tanning.

Title

Solar protection behaviours: a study of beachgoers.

Source

Australian Journal of Public Health. 17(3):209-14, 1993 Sep.

Abstract

This study explored the prevalence and predictors of solar protection behaviour in a community sample of beachgoers. A total of 670 participants was randomly

selected from six beaches in the Newcastle district. The solar protection behaviour of each participant was assessed by direct observation and interview. A

subsample was also asked to complete a written questionnaire to assess attitudes to solar protection use, knowledge of skin cancer and awareness of recommended

solar protection behaviours. Forty-five per cent of the beachgoers in this sample were using a high level of solar protection, and a substantial proportion (16 per

cent) of the sample was not using any kind of solar protection. Sunscreen with SPF 15+ was applied to at least one body region by 69 per cent of the sample, 17 per

cent of the sample were wearing a recommended hat, 15.1 per cent were using shade, and 3.4 per cent were wearing a recommended style of shirt at the time of

observation. Chi-square analys!

es of the data for under-15-year-olds indicated that a significantly greater proportion of 0- to 9-year-olds were well protected compared to 11- to 14-year-olds,

but there was no difference in use of protection by boys and girls under 15 years of age. Stepwise regression analysis of the adult sample (15 years and over)

showed that the predictors of overall level of solar protection were marital status and frequency of skin self-examination in the past 12 months. The practical

implications of these findings for future community-based skin cancer prevention programs are discussed.

Injuries in sailboard enthusiasts.

Source

British Journal of Sports Medicine. 22(3):95-7, 1988 Sep.

Abstract

This study was carried out to determine the rate and types of injuries experienced by boardsailors. Results derive from: (a) a review of hospital medical records

for water sports injuries, and (b) a questionnaire-interview of 73 athletes windsurfing on waters in the Galveston area during a hurricane and in moderate and light

wind conditions. Windsurfers reported 0.22 injuries per 1,000 participant hours. Seventy-six per cent of athletes reported injuries while boardsailing, but only 15

per cent reported significant injuries. The most common reported injuries included lacerations, jellyfish stings, abrasions, muscle strain, sunburn, contusions, and

blisters. A small number of athletes reported ligament sprain, ear infection, knee injury, eye injury, and splinters. The large majority of injuries reported are

preventable by wearing protective gear, applying sunscreen, avoiding overpowering winds, and selecting safe sailing areas. Four per cent of water-sport injuries

requiring !

hospitalisation resulted when epileptic water-sports participants had a seizure in or near the water.

Title

First-aid supplies for backpacking.

Source

British Journal of Sports Medicine. 26(1):48-50, 1992 Mar.

Abstract

A portable first-aid kit should be carried in the backpack of campers, hikers, and anyone who expects to spend time in a remote and unoccupied area. That is the

recommendation found in lay texts dealing with medical care, in backpacking books, as well as in articles appearing in popular magazines. It goes without saying

that it is far better to practise safety and prevention than to have to use first aid. However, many times medical problems occur which no amount of safety and

forethought could have prevented. Information in this paper indicates that hikers are generally well prepared for the health-related problems they encounter. Hikers

carry diverse supplies to meet health problems but there are some basic supplies with which hikers start their long-distance sojourn. Those supplies and their usage

rates are discussed, as are attitudes toward using the supplies.

Title

Melanoma risk in relation to height, weight, and exercise (United States).

Source

Cancer Causes & Control. 12(7):599-606, 2001 Sep.

Abstract

Height and weight and derivations thereof are positively associated with a number of cancers. While several authors have reported an increased risk of melanoma

among people at the higher extremes of these measures, the association has not been fully explored. New cases of primary cutaneous melanoma in 1997 in western

Washington State (n = 386) were compared to controls selected by random-digit dialing (n = 727). Each study participant completed a telephone survey, and data were

collected on height, weight, sun-related melanoma risk factors, demographic characteristics, as well as habits such as diet and exercise. Risk of melanoma was

analyzed by logistic regression with adjustment for age, hair color, lifetime sun exposure, and fruit and vegetable intake. An excess risk of melanoma was
