HPC (Household and Personal Care Today, Volume 7, Number 3, July/September 2012, pages 29-32, Monographic Supplement Series Compendium on Sun Care)) has reprinted a peer-reviewed article from UTMB Dermatology that was initially published in 2011). The research paper was titled, “Preventing ultraviolet radiation scalp injury in men,” and its authors were Drs. Douglas Heiner, Donald Warren, Richard Wagner and biostatistician Mr. Tatsuo Uchida. Dr. Heiner is currently in dermatology residency at Roger Williams Medical Center (Providence, RI) and Dr. Warren will begin dermatology residency at UT-Southwestern (Austin, TX) in July 2013. The publication is based on epidemiologic research performed in Galveston beaches while Drs. Heiner and Warren were UTMB medical students.
