Journal ArticleDOI
Shift work and cancer risk: potential mechanistic roles of circadian disruption, light at night, and sleep deprivation.
Erhard Haus,Michael H. Smolensky +1 more
TL;DR: The possible multiple and interconnected cancer-promoting mechanisms as a consequence of shift work are examined, i.e., repeated disruption of the circadian system, pineal hormone melatonin suppression by exposure to light at night, sleep-deprivation-caused impairment of the immune system, plus metabolic changes favoring obesity and generation of proinflammatory reactive oxygen species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biological clocks and shift work: circadian dysregulation and potential long-term effects.
Erhard Haus,Michael H. Smolensky +1 more
TL;DR: The implications of the pathophysiology of phase shift and phase adaptation for long-term health effects and for the design of ergonomic work schedules minimizing the adverse health effects upon the worker are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Considerations of circadian impact for defining 'shift work' in cancer studies: IARC working group report
Richard G. Stevens,Johnni Hansen,Giovanni Costa,Erhard Haus,Timo Kauppinen,Kristan J. Aronson,Gemma Castaño-Vinyals,Scott Davis,Monique H. W. Frings-Dresen,Lin Fritschi,Manolis Kogevinas,Kazutaka Kogi,Jenny Anne S. Lie,Arne Lowden,Beata Peplonska,Beate Pesch,Eero Pukkala,Eva S. Schernhammer,Ruth C. Travis,Roel Vermeulen,Tongzhang Zheng,Vincent Cogliano,Kurt Straif +22 more
TL;DR: It is recognised that for further domains of non-day shifts and shift schedules to be identified, more research needs to be conducted on the impact of various shift schedules and routines on physiological and circadian rhythms of workers in real-world environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biologic Rhythms in the Immune System
Erhard Haus,Michael H. Smolensky +1 more
TL;DR: The response of the immune system to introduction of an antigen and to challenge of the sensitized organism varies in extent in the circadian frequency range and also in lower frequencies, for example, of about a week (circaseptan) or seasonally (circannual).
BookDOI
Biologic rhythms in clinical and laboratory medicine
Yvan Touitou,Erhard Haus +1 more
TL;DR: This volume demonstrates how important natural time cycles can be for diagnosis and treatment in today's clinical and laboratory medicine.
