 AAD survey reveals Americans ignore sun risks despite skin cancer concernsAAD survey reveals Americans ignore sun risks despite skin cancer concerns
 
The American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) today released results from its annual Practice Safe Sun Survey, revealing many Americans still engage in risky sun behaviors driven by misinformation, social media, and persistent tanning myths despite their concerns about the long term aging effects of sun exposure.
 
 
 Brain pathways shape distinct itch responses in the face and bodyBrain pathways shape distinct itch responses in the face and body
 
In a new study, researchers from North Carolina State University show that itch sensations in the face are perceived differently from those in the body due to differences in signaling between trigeminal (located in the brain) and spinal pain pathways.
 
 
 Wearable sweat sensor tracks vitamin levels in real timeWearable sweat sensor tracks vitamin levels in real time
 
Researchers developed a wearable electrochemical patch that detects six vitamins in sweat at nanomolar levels, combining sweat induction, microfluidic sampling, wireless readout, and pH/ionic-strength calibration. Human testing focused mainly on vitamin B9, showing sweat levels rose after supplementation or a vitamin B9-rich diet and correlated with serum levels, supporting future use for non-invasive nutrition trend monitoring.
