Sleep Quality and Restless Legs Syndrome among Healthcare Workers: Shift Workers and Non-Shift Workers

Journal of Sleep Sciences, 2016
Background and Objective: Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a sleep disorder with an association to sleep quality. We investigated the sleep quality in patients with RLS among health-care workers with or without shift work. Materials and Methods: All female health-care workers (n = 540) in four educational hospitals were enrolled in this cross-sectional ...

Epigenetic blind spots – the role of DNA methylation dynamics in stem cell‐based models of embryogenesis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Embryo‐like structures (stembryos) are an innovative tool, but they are hindered by experimental variability and limited developmental potential. DNA methylation is crucial for mammalian development, but its status in stembryo models is poorly characterized.

The effect of a night shift nap on post-night shift performance, sleepiness, mood, and first recovery sleep: A randomized crossover trial

Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to test the effect of a 30-minute nap versus a 2-hour nap opportunity taken during a simulated night shift on performance, fatigue, sleepiness, mood, and sleep at the end of shift and during post-night shift recovery. METHODS:

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

The human gut microbiome across the life course

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.

Night shift work and risk of total and site-specific cancer: results from a prospective cohort study among Chinese men

Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health
OBJECTIVE: Epidemiological evidence on the association between night shift work and cancer risk remains limited and inconsistent. This study aimed to systematically investigate this association among Chinese men.

Night work and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy: a national register-based cohort study

Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health, 2018
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate whether night work expressed by number and duration of night shifts, number of consecutive night shifts, and number of quick returns during the first 20 weeks of pregnancy is a risk factor for ...

Septin 9 PB domains coordinate centrosome positioning and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Septin 9 polybasic domains couple phosphoinositide‐rich membrane binding to centrosome positioning, Golgi organization, and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity. Their loss disrupts this axis, causing centrosome mispositioning, Golgi fragmentation, reduced microtubule acetylation, and polarity inversion via upregulation of the ...

Night work and risk of common mental disorders: analyzing observational data as a non-randomized pseudo trial

Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health, 2018
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to examine the status of night work as a risk factor for common mental disorders (CMD). METHODS: A cohort study with three data waves was conducted on populations of social and healthcare employees for a duration of ...
