Skin cancer survivorship and sun protection behaviors in the United States.

Background: Skin cancer survivors are more vulnerable to subsequent skin cancers and other malignancies, but previous studies have not examined in detail their sun protection behavior prevalence by sociodemographic factors. We aimed to understand the sociodemographic disparities in the prevalence of three important types of sun protection behaviors: using sunscreen, seeking shade, and wearing protective clothing, among skin cancer survivors and those without skin cancer history.

Methods: We used the 2015 U.

Pervasive cranial allometry at different anatomical scales and variational levels in extant armadillosAlometría craneal generalizada a diferentes escalas anatómicas y niveles de variación en armadillos actuales.

Allometry, i.e., morphological variation correlated with size, is a major pattern in organismal evolution.

Prevalence of Current Cigarette Smoking by Sociodemographic Characteristics in U.S. Cancer Survivors.

Background: Cancer survivors are especially vulnerable to the carcinogenic effects of tobacco smoking, but there lacks a study comprehensively examining the sociodemographic disparities in current smoking prevalence in this population. In this study, we quantified the current cigarette smoking prevalence in cancer survivors and those without cancer history by sociodemographic factors, to identify subpopulations with high current smoking burden.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 3,679 cancer survivors and 27,350 participants without cancer history who were 18 years of age or above in the 2019 National Health Interview Survey.

Associations between sociodemographic factors and breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer screening in the United States.

Purpose: Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally and in the U.S., but screening can reduce cancer-related deaths.

Versatility of Tunneled Island Flaps for the Reconstruction of Facial Defects.

Background And Objective: Tunneled island flaps that transfer skin from a site adjacent to the wound are an effective way to reconstruct defects. These flaps provide good aesthetic and functional results and can be completed during a single surgical session, thus reducing complications. The procedure consists of taking an island of skin about the size of the surgical defect and moving it through a subcutaneous tunnel to cover the wound.
