Journal ArticleDOI
Ethics and methods for biological rhythm research on animals and human beings
TL;DR: The ethical standards and methods for the conduct of high-quality animal and human biological rhythm research are updated, which should be especially useful for new investigators of the rhythms of life.
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
Circadian rhythms and cardiovascular health.
Francesco Portaluppi,Ruana Tiseo,Michael H. Smolensky,Ramon C. Hermida,Diana E. Ayala,Fabio Fabbian +5 more
TL;DR: Knowing of 24-h patterns in the risk of cardiac arrhythmias and cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality plus circadian rhythm-dependencies of underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms suggests the requirement for preventive and therapeutic interventions is not the same throughout the day and night, and should be tailored accordingly to improve outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Health consequences of electric lighting practices in the modern world: A report on the National Toxicology Program's workshop on shift work at night, artificial light at night, and circadian disruption
Ruth M. Lunn,David E. Blask,Andrew N. Coogan,Mariana G. Figueiro,Michael R. Gorman,Janet E. Hall,Johnni Hansen,Randy J. Nelson,Satchidananda Panda,Michael H. Smolensky,Richard G. Stevens,Fred W. Turek,Roel Vermeulen,Tania Carreón,Claire C. Caruso,Christina C. Lawson,Kristina A. Thayer,Michael J. Twery,Andrew Ewens,Sanford C. Garner,Pamela J. Schwingl,Windy A. Boyd +21 more
TL;DR: An expert panel suggested describing light both as a direct effector of endogenous circadian clocks and rhythms and as an enabler of additional activities or behaviors that may lead to circadian disruption, such as night-shift work and atypical and inconsistent sleep-wake patterns that can lead to social jet lag.
Journal ArticleDOI
2013 Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring Recommendations for the Diagnosis of Adult Hypertension, Assessment of Cardiovascular and other Hypertension-associated Risk, and Attainment of Therapeutic Goals
Chronotherapeutics,Vascular Risk,Ramon C. Hermida,Michael H. Smolensky,Diana E. Ayala,Francesco Portaluppi +5 more
TL;DR: ABPM should be viewed as the new gold standard to diagnose true hypertension, accurately assess consequent tissue/organ, maternal/fetal, and CVD risk, and individualize hypertension chronotherapy.
