Background
Although considered as a first‐group carcinogen, indoor tanning is a common practice in Europe. Euromelanoma is a pan‐European skin cancer prevention campaign.
Objectives
To compare several European countries in terms of the prevalence and determinants of sunbed use.
Methods
Participants in the Euromelanoma campaigns filled in questionnaires containing demographics and risk factors,...
Introduction
Sunbed use has been significantly associated with increased risk of melanoma and non‐melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), but its relationship with melanoma's risk factors such as high nevus count, atypical nevi and lentigines is poorly studied. Euromelanoma is a skin cancer prevention campaign conducted all over Europe. It offers a once‐a‐year screening during which participants’ data, including...
Background
The use of UV‐emitting tanning devices for cosmetic purposes is associated with an increased risk of melanoma and non‐melanoma skin cancer. Young women are the most frequent users, therefore, there is an increasing concern about the regulation of sunbed use.

Retronychia represents proximal ingrowth of the nail that occurs when the nail embeds backwards into the proximal nail fold.

Important clinical criteria for diagnosis are inflammation of the proximal nail fold, granulation tissue emerging from under the nail fold, thickening of the proximal portion of the...
This paper describes the methodology developed to build estimates of electricity prices having the horizon of one week. This approach uses artificial neural networks and includes a particular treatment of weekends and national holidays as a way to improve the quality of the results. The developed approach was tested using data obtained from the Spanish market operator for the time period of 2006 to...
