Tanning Leads To Skin Cancer.
Skin cancer researchers announce in a redesigned study that in the sunny state of Florida, tanning salons now outnumber McDonald's fast-food restaurants. There are also more indoor tanning facilities in Florida than CVS pharmacies as well as some other widespread businesses, researchers from the University of Miami revealed. "Indoor tanning is known to cause hide cancers, including melanoma, which is deadly," prominent one expert, Dr Joshua Zeichner, of the control of dermatology at The Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City.
And "Despite an broaden in public awareness efforts from dermatologists, mobile vulgus are still sitting in tanning beds," said Zeichner, who was not connected to the restored research. Researchers led by Dr Sonia Lamel of the University of Miami found there is now one tanning salon for every 15113 forebears in Florida. The study, published Dec 25, 2013 in JAMA Dermatology, also found that the articulate had about one tanning salon for every 50 square miles.

Mosquito Bite Waiting To Happen
Mosquito Bite Waiting To Happen.
Some mortals who fell mark to a 2009-2010 outbreak of dengue fever in Florida carried a particular viral strain that they did not get into the country from a recent trip abroad, according to a fresh genetic analysis conducted by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. To date, most cases of dengue fever on American sully have typically confusing travelers who "import" the painful mosquito-borne disease after having been bitten elsewhere. But though the virus cannot move from person to person, mosquitoes are able to pick up dengue from infected patients and, in turn, counterpane the disease among a local populace.
The CDC's viral fingerprinting of Key West, FL, dengue patients therefore raises the specter that a affliction more commonly found in parts of Africa, the Caribbean, South America and Asia might be gaining gripping power among North American mosquito populations. "Florida has the mosquitoes that go through dengue and the climate to sustain these mosquitoes all year around," cautioned read lead author Jorge Munoz-Jordan. "So, there is potential for the dengue virus to be transmitted locally, and cause dengue outbreaks derive the ones we saw in Key West in 2009 and 2010".
And "Every year more countries sum another one of the dengue virus subtypes to their lists of locally transmitted viruses, and this could be the action with Florida," said Munoz-Jordan, chief of CDC's molecular diagnostics vim in the dengue branch of the division of vector-borne disease. He and his colleagues detonation their findings in the April issue of CDC's Emerging Infectious Diseases.
Dengue fever is the most widespread mosquito-borne viral sickness in the world, now found in roughly 100 countries, the study authors noted. That said, until the 2009-2010 southern Florida outbreak, the United States had remained basically dengue-free for more than half a century.
Ultimately, 93 patients in the Key West enclosure simply were diagnosed with the ailment during the outbreak, which seemingly ended in 2010, with no new cases reported in 2011. But the fall short of of later cases does not give experts much comfort. The reason: 75 percent of infected patients show no symptoms, and the massive "house mosquito" population in the region remains a disease-transmitting disaster waiting to happen.
