Circadian variation of post-operative complications in lung resection surgery
IntroductionStudies have revealed circadian rhythms affect many organ systems and time of injury can impact healing, lung function, and inflammation. We hypothesized operative time may impact post-operative risk. Accordingly, the aim of this study...

Circadian system functional status and sleep in blind subjects with and without conscious light perception
To understand circadian rhythms and sleep in an understudied population, which is particularly prone to suffer chronodisruption (CD), eighteen blind volunteers of 51.5 ± 3.6 years (Mean ± SEM) and 26 volunteers (51.8 ± 1.2) with no visual impairme...

The effects of total sleep deprivation on the circadian rhythms and psychophysiological factors in military cadets; a comparison between wakefulness in light and darkness
ObjectivesBoth sleep deprivation (SD) and light at night have negative effects on human health and performance. The aim of our work was to compare the intermediate effects of total SD under two lighting conditions: full indoor lighting and darknes...
