Ultraviolet-C irradiation for prevention of central venous catheter-related infections: an in vitro study.

abstract：:We present an in vivo study of the optical properties of melanin present in melanocytic nevi of human subjects with Fitzpatrick skin type III (Caucasian descent) using optical spectroscopy. We show that the melanin absorption spectrum exhibits an exponential dependence on wavelength with a decay constant which follows...
