Light at night and health: the perils of rotating shift work. [PDF]

Occup Environ Med, 2011
Obesity has been on the rise in the USA and across the globe1 and is a major public health concern. In an article in this issue of the journal, Kubo et al ( see page 327 ) show that rotating shift work, and in particular longer term (10+ years) rotating shift work, significantly increases the risk of weight gain and obesity.2 This is not the first ...

Shift work migraine disorder: evidence, mechanisms, and implications for diagnosis, prevention, and management [PDF]

The Journal of Headache and Pain
Introduction/background Migraine is the leading neurological disorder and the second leading cause of years of life lived with disability (YLDs), affecting roughly 14–15% of the global population. The recognized importance of circadian rhythm disruption,

Rotating Night Shift Work and Mammographic Density [PDF]

Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, 2012
Abstract Background: An increased risk of breast cancer has been observed in night shift workers. Exposure to artificial light at night and disruption of the endogenous circadian rhythm with suppression of the melatonin synthesis have been suggested mechanisms.

On the dragging of light by a rotating medium [PDF]

, 2007
When light is passing through a rotating medium the optical polarization is rotated. Recently, it has been reasoned that this rotation applies also to the transmitted image.

Independent and joint trajectories of depression and anxiety symptoms among Chinese male sailors throughout a prolonged non-24-h rotating shift schedule at sea: a parallel-process growth mixture modeling approach

BMC Psychiatry, 2023
Background The predictive and protective effect of hardiness on mental health remains unclear among shift workers on non-24-h working schedules. The present study aimed to investigate the independent and joint trajectories of depression and anxiety ...

The impact of shift-work light conditions on tissue-specific circadian rhythms of canonical clock genes: insights from a mouse model study [version 3; peer review: 2 approved]

F1000Research, 2023
Background: The natural day-night cycle synchronizes our circadian rhythms, but modern work practices like night shifts disrupt this pattern, leading to increased exposure to nighttime light. This exposure is linked to various health issues.
