The earliest record between sun exposure and skin disease goes back five millennia to the ancient Egyptians. The modern scientific era of medical light therapy and skin diseases started in 1877 when Downs and Blunt reported that exposure to light inhibited fungal growth in test tubes. Continuing research generated a growing medical interest in the potential the effects of light to treat and cure skin diseases considered as parasitic.

Preventoria were established in the early part of the twentieth century at fresh air sites away from cities for the purposes of rest cures for children, usually for those who were at risk of contracting tuberculosis. This paper discusses preventoria in relation to their general landscapes, and outlines the types of landscapes in which preventoria are found, namely woods and forests, ocean, rivers and lakes, and agricultural settings. The preventorium movement is placed in historical landscape context, with urban planning, national parks, and other nineteenth century trends.

In Japan people affected by leprosy who were forced to admit to national leprosy sanatoria under leprosy prevention/segregation law (1953) have ever been promoted to return to live in community, after destruction of the law in 1996. In this paper two cases are shown with some comments who had already been discharged from leprosy sanatoria and came late to OPD of National Suruga Sanatorium for consultations of their leprosy related conditions. One case is a 60 year-old male who developed squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) from chronic planter ulcer.

The study elucidated the mechanism of action of mineral waters (alkaline, sodium hydrocarbonate or boron-containing water with elevated fluorine and chlorine content) extracted from natural deposits of the Belgorod Region and Krasnodar Krai (Territory). It was shown that drinking these waters contributed to the correction of the disturbed balance in the ratio of sodium and potassium ions excreted with urine and to the positive dynamics of serum phosphorus level in the patients included in this study.
