  • Arsenicosis Presenting with Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma: a Case Report
    CASE REPORT Arsenicosis Presenting with Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Case Report Marie Len A. Camaclang,1 Eileen Liesl A. Cubillan2 and Claudine Yap-Silva2 1Section of Dermatology, Department of Medicine, Philippine General Hospital, University of the Philippines Manila 2Section of Dermatology, Department of Medicine, College of Medicine and Philippine General Hospital, University of the Philippines Manila ABSTRACT A 29-year-old male with eleven-year history of hyperkeratotic papules and speckled pigmentation developed cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. Arsenicosis was confirmed by elevated hair arsenic level, and histopathologic findings of arsenical keratosis and one lesion showing carcinoma-in-situ. Chronic arsenic exposure has been found to activate inflammatory and carcinogenic pathways leading to development of pre-malignant and malignant lesions. A multi-disciplinary approach involving healthcare specialists and environmentalists is crucial in source control and management of long-term complications. Key Words: arsenic, arsenic poisoning, arsenicosis, skin cancer, squamous cell carcinoma INTRODUCTION Arsenic is a potential human carcinogen of public health concern. Exposure may be via inhalation of arsenic dusts, direct contact with arsenites, or ingestion of contaminated water, the latter being the most common route.1 Chemical contamination of groundwater may come from natural sources such as geochemical processes (e.g. volcanic activities), as well as the result of human activities including mining wastes, landfills,

  • Actinic Keratoses Final Report
    Actinic Keratoses Final Report Mark Helfand, MD, MPH Annalisa K. Gorman, MD Susan Mahon, MPH Benjamin K.S. Chan, MS Neil Swanson, MD Submitted to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality under contract 290-97-0018, task order no. 6 Oregon Health & Science University Evidence-based Practice Center 3181 SW Sam Jackson Park Road Portland, Oregon 97201 May 19, 2001 Actinic Keratoses Structured Abstract Objective: To examine evidence about the natural history and management of actinic keratoses (AKs). Search Strategy: We searched the MEDLINE database from January 1966 to January 2001, the Cochrane Controlled Trials Registry, and a bibliographic database of articles about skin cancer. We identified additional articles from reference lists and experts. Selection Criteria: We selected 45 articles that contained original data relevant to treatment of actinic keratoses, progression of AKs to squamous cell cancer (SCC ), means of identifying a high-risk group, or surveillance of patients with AKs to detect and treat SCCs early in their course. Data Collection and Analysis: We abstracted information from these studies to construct evidence tables. We also developed a simple mathematical model to examine whether estimates of the rate of progression of AK to SCC were consistent among studies. Finally, we analyzed data from the Medicare Statistical System to estimate the frequency of procedures attributable to AK among elderly beneficiaries. Main Results: The yearly rate of progression of an AK in an average-risk person in Australia is between 8 and 24 per 10,000. High-risk individuals with multiple AKs have progression rates as high as 12-30 percent over 3 years.

Schnyder abstract he impact of UV-filter combination on the number of free radicals generated in sunscreen formulations and the skin follow- Ting UV-VIS irradiation was assessed via electron spin resonance spectroscopy using a spin-probing approach. Four UV-filter combinations that differed in their photostability and range of UVA absorbance coverage were investigated. Fewer free radicals were generated in the sunscreen formulation when a photostable UVA filter system was used, compared to a stabilized UVA fil- ter system. Additionally, fewer free radicals were generated in the skin when a sunscreen with long UVA protection extending to the short visible range was used, compared to a sunscreen with minimal UVA protection.

  • Pathogenesis of Rosacea Anetta E
    REVIEW Pathogenesis of Rosacea Anetta E. Reszko, MD, PhD; Richard D. Granstein, MD Rosacea is a chronic, common skin disorder whose pathogenesis is incompletely understood. An inter- play of multiple factors, including genetic predisposition and environmental, neurogenic, and microbial factors, may be involved in the disease process. Rosacea subtypes, identified in the recently published standard classification system by the National Rosacea Society Expert Committee on the Classification and Staging of Rosacea, may in fact represent different disease processes, and identifying subtypes may allow investigators to pursue more precisely focused studies. New developments in molecular biology and genetics hold promise for elucidating the interplay of the multiple factors involved in the pathogen- esis of rosacea, as well as providing the bases for potential new therapies. osacea is a common, chronic skin disorder and secondary features needed for the clinical diagnosis primarily affecting the central and con- of rosacea.

China April 2000 ISBN: 1-881041-68-9 Armed Forces Institute of Pathology American Registry of Pathology Washington, DC 2000 Available from American Registry of Pathology Bookstore Web site at www.afip.org 4 Preface The public health concern for environmental exposure to arsenic 35 ( As75) has been widely recognized for decades. However, recent human activities have resulted in even greater arsenic exposures and the potential increase for chronic arsenic poisoning on a worldwide basis. This is especially the case in China, Taiwan, Thailand, Mexico, Chile, and India. The sources of arsenic expo- José A. Centeno, Ph.D. sure vary from burning of arsenic-rich coal (China) and mining activities (Malaysia, Japan) to the ingestion of arsenic-contami- nated drinking water (Taiwan, Philippines, Mexico, Chile). The groundwater arsenic contamination in Bangladesh and the West Bengal Delta of India has received the greatest international attention due to the large number of people potentially exposed and the high prevalence of arsenic-induced diseases.
