Skin color

The SPE is defined as the ratio of the time required to produce a perceptible erythema on a site protected by a specified dose of the uv protectant product to the time required for minimal erythema development in the unprotected skin. An SPE of 8 indicates that the product allows a subject to expose the protected skin 8 times as long as the unprotected skin to produce the minimum erythema response. The measurement can be quite subjective unless skin color and the history of reactions to sun exposure of the test subjects are taken into account. The MED range for Caucasians at 300 nm averages 34 mj/cm. The range is 14—80 mj/cm. Perspiration or the use of artificial irradiation devices can create additional problems. 

Assessing the patient s general condition and including observations such as skin color (pale, cyanotic, flushed), orientation, level of consciousness, and the patient s general status (such as appears acutely ill or appears somewhat ill). All observations must be recorded to provide a means of evaluating the response to drag therapy. 

Imipramine and its derivatives produce blue, phenothiazines blue, violet, red or orange to skin-colored chromatogram zones, that fade relatively quickly, on a colorless background (Fig. 1). 

Immediately after dipping perphenazine (h/ f 28-33) appeared as pink-colored, fluphenazine (hRj 30-35), dixyrazine (hRj 33-38) and verophene (= promazine, hRf 38-43) as skin-colored and periciazine (h/ f 35-40) as orange, promethazine (h/ f 43-48) as bright pink, alimemazine (h/ f 60-65) as skin-colored and dibutil (etho-propazine, hRf 75-80) as pink-colored chromatogram zones on a colorless background (Fig. 2). The colors faded after some time. 

Delayed hypopigmentation is a reason why some doctors dislike the long-term results of deep peels. Hypopigmentation after phenol peels is proportional to the depth of the peel, amount of the solution used, inherent skin color, and post-peel sun-related behavior. Complete avoidance of any sun exposure years after the peel creates ivory skin color.

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is the acquired presence of darker macules and patches of skin occurring at sites of previous cutaneous inflammatory conditions. The processes preceding the altered skin color include mechanical injuries, allergic reactions, primary inflammatory skin disorders, and therapeutic interventions. 

PIH is one of the most common causes of altered skin color. Although it can manifest in various skin types, it is most frequently seen with greater intensity and persistence in darker...

Levinsky et al. (1970) reported on three men exposed to an unknown concentration of arsine for an estimated, 2, 3, and 15 min. Signs and symptoms of exposure (malaise, headache, abdominal pain, chills, nausea, vomiting, oliguria/ anuria, hematuria, bronze skin color) developed within 1-2 h. All three individuals required extensive medical intervention to save their lives. Clinical findings were indicative of massive hemolysis and repeated blood exchange transfusions were necessary for the survival of these individuals. 

The measurement target, tympanic membrane with surrounding tissue, can be treated as a blackbody radiation source with an emissivity of e(A) 0.98... 1. The emissivity is mainly independent of skin color, cemmen or hair in the ear canal. 

What are the ethical, legal, social, and scientific implications of pharmacogenomics Given the current disparities and the role—however illegitimate—of skin color and ethnicity in the distribution of medical services, how might new approaches to therapy affect socially defined groups of African, Asian, and Hispanic descent These questions are complex individually, and they become more so when intersected. 

It took a few years for Althea to adjust to the world-class level of play. (7°) She won her first major tournament in 1956 and would dominate the sport for the next five years, winning six doubles titles and a total of eleven Grand Slam events including the U.S. Nationals and Wimbledon twice. Yet even at the height of her career as an international tennis champ, Althea was forced to endure discrimination. She was often refused hotels (7 V rooms and reservations at restaurants simply because of her skin color.
