With this invention seeks to reduce the incidence of skin cancer. “The software determines the maximum recommended exposure to solar UV radiation, including the use of protective creams for people with different skin types displayed at any time and day of the year,” he told EFE Ruben Piacentini, director of Institute of Physics of the Argentina’s Rosario city (IFIR), which developed the project.
According to Argentine newspaper Infobae, the system can be installed on any computer and was created with the collaboration of researchers from the University of Innsbruck, Austria, Argentina and the Foundation Skin Cancer.
How to use
For information, the user must enter your skin type, the kind of surface you are (sand, water or cement), time of day and geographic location in which you, as the height or snow can increase the risk of radiation by 60 percent.

Turmeric began to kill these cells in less than 24 hours.
The results of this work, led by Geraldine O’Sullivan-Coyne and Sharon McKenna of the Cork Cancer Research Centre (Ireland) with colleagues, should lead to the development of new treatments.
In addition, a laboratory study American presented at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Otolaryngology, shows that in the case of cancer of the head and neck, turmeric prevents nicotine from activating a circuit that plays a role central in the transformation of normal cells into cancer cells. The researchers conclude that turmeric is a nutraceutical that has interesting chemopreventive effects against this cancer by blocking the action of the nicotine in the development of this cancer.
