          Abstract

          Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and solar radiation in northwestern Spain. Methods: All RRD cases in Pontevedra from 2008 and 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. Climatological data from 4 weather stations in the area were collected. The association between RRD incidence and solar radiation was investigated. Results: A total of 256 RRD cases were identified. There was a seasonal variation in the incidence of RRD with a maximum number of incident cases observed in June and July and a minimum number of cases observed in January and December. An association was found between RRD incidence and solar radiation both monthly ( p = 0.004) and bimonthly ( p = 0.057). The right eye was more frequently affected than the left eye ( p = 0.035). RD cases other than rhegmatogenous showed neither seasonality nor association with radiation. Conclusions: Solar radiation may play a role in RRD genesis in our area. Laterality could be related to the amount of radiation reaching each eye.

          The impact of skin colour on human photobiological responses

          Damilola Fajuyigbe, Antony R Young (2016)
          Summary Terrestrial solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exerts both beneficial and adverse effects on human skin. Epidemiological studies show a lower incidence of skin cancer in people with pigmented skins compared to fair skins. This is attributed to photoprotection by epidermal melanin, as is the poorer vitamin D status of those with darker skins. We summarize a wide range of photobiological responses across different skin colours including DNA damage and immunosuppression. Some studies show the generally modest photoprotective properties of melanin, but others show little or no effect. DNA photodamage initiates non‐melanoma skin cancer and is reduced by a factor of about 3 in pigmented skin compared with white skin. This suggests that if such a modest reduction in DNA damage can result in the significantly lower skin cancer incidence in black skin, the use of sunscreen protection might be extremely beneficial for susceptible population. Many contradictory results may be explained by protocol differences, including differences in UVR spectra and exposure protocols. We recommend that skin type comparisons be done with solar‐simulated radiation and standard erythema doses or physical doses (J/m2) rather than those based solely on clinical endpoints such as minimal erythema dose (MED).

              Epidemiology of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in a Finnish population.

              L Laatikainen, H Harju, E.-M. Tolppanen (1985)
              During a -4 year period, 1978-1981, 310 eyes of 301 patients living in the district of the Helsinki University Central Hospital were examined for rhegmatogenous detachment of the retina. This corresponds to an annual incidence of 6.9 per 100 000 mean population. The mean age of the patients was 54.2 years, and the sex distribution corresponded with that in the general population. The right eye was significantly (P less than 0.05) more often affected than the left eye. 78% of the eyes were phakic, and 22% were aphakic. The corresponding annual incidences were 5.4 for phakic and 1.5 for aphakic detachment per 100 000 mean population. Myopia was found in 51% of the phakic and in 24% of the aphakic eyes. The estimated annual incidence of rhegmatogenous detachment in the myopic population was more than 3 times that in the non-myopic population. The annual incidence of traumatic rhegmatogenous retinal detachment was 0.8 per 100 000 mean population. There were significant (P less than 0.005) seasonal variations in the occurrence of retinal detachment.
