Investigating the Relationship Between Overexposure to Ultraviolet Radiation and Rheumatoid Arthritis Using National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2015-2016 Data.

Background Research on the association between sunburn and autoimmune diseases including rheumatoid arthritis is scarce. To date, no study has looked at the relationship between over-exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation indicated by sunburn and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We addressed this gap using the United States National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database following a hypothesis that no relationship exists between sunburn and rheumatoid arthritis.

Arsenic Exposure and Melanoma Among US Adults Aged 20 or Older, 2003-2016.

Objectives: Chronic exposure to arsenic has been reported as a risk factor for nonmelanoma skin cancer, notably squamous cell carcinoma. However, current knowledge is limited about the association between arsenic exposure and melanoma. Our objectives were to (1) measure the association between total urinary arsenic levels and melanoma compared with nonmelanoma skin cancer and no cancer and (2) analyze the association between water source and melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancer.
