Filter by:The goal of the present clinical descriptive study is to characterize and quantify the potential hormonal chronobiological differences between individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and healthy age and weight-matched controls as either circadian aligned or misaligned. The investigators hypothesize that individuals with T2D have a misaligned and different circadian rhythmicity of circadian biomarkers (melatonin and cortisol) than controls, and that this difference in turn is related to 24h hormonal fluctuations, behaviour, and metabolic-, cardiac-, and cognitive parameters. Participants will be asked to: - fill-out a diary on eating and sleeping habits for 30 days - wear an actigraphy and continuous glucose monitor for 10-14 days - stay overnight at the research facility, including continuous blood sampling and polysomnography
The proposed project aims to disentangle the impact of evening light exposure emitted from tablet devices from the impact of arousing media content on children's sleep regulation, circadian physiology and next-day emotion regulation and executive functioning.
This randomized controlled crossover trial of 36 pregnant individuals with gestational diabetes (GDM) or gestational glucose intolerance (GGI) will: 1. Determine the effects of physical activity (PA) timing, specifically 30 minutes of moderate intensity walking or stepping in the morning (between 5am-9am, within 30-40 minutes of starting breakfast), versus late afternoon/evening (between 4pm-8pm, within 30-40 minutes of dinner) on glucose across the 24-hour cycle. 2. Explore the potential effects of the timing of PA on sleep and mood state.
Disruption of circadian rhythms is frequently observed in patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) and is associated with worse clinical outcomes. The ICU environment presents weak and conflicting timing cues to the circadian clock, including continuous enteral nutrition. The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of timing of enteral nutrition on the circadian rhythm in critically ill patients. Patients admitted to the intensive care unit will be allocated to receive either continuous or cyclic daytime (8am to 8 pm) enteral feeding. Differences in circadian rhythms will be assessed by 24h patterns in core body temperature, heart rate variability, melatonin and peripheral clock gene expression. Secondary outcomes include depth of sleep, glucose variability and incidence of feeding intolerance. This study is expected to contribute to the optimalisation of circadian rhythms in the ICU.
Broadly, this study (SCN-BP) seeks to examine sleep and circadian factors that contribute to blood pressure levels at night.
The goal of this study is to learn more about how the time in which participants consume their meals relative to their personalized circadian rhythm influences their overall cardiometabolic health and weight. The investigators are hoping to discover if a circadian-based time restricted eating intervention will improve cardiometabolic health and decrease weight. The protocol is a 46 day prospective cohort study that includes both field and in-laboratory data collection in overweight and obese individuals.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) according to Yin Yang theory for treatment of chronic insomnia .
Use huawei wristwatch to record maternal rhythm status and record the VAS score after cesarean section under combined spinal-epidural anesthesia. Based on this study the investigators intend to explore the correlation between maternal circadian rhythm status and postoperative pain after cesarean section.
Surveys indicate that 85% of the adult population consume caffeine on a daily basis. Caffeine acts on sleep homeostatic mechanisms by antagonizing the sleep factor adenosine. Whether and how caffeine also impacts on the circadian regulation of sleep and -wakefulness is fairly unexplored. This study quantifies the influence of regular caffeine intake and its cessation on circadian promotion of sleep and wakefulness, on circadian hormonal markers, well-being, neurobehavioral performance and associated cerebral mechanisms. The knowledge is expected to contribute important insights on recent societal changes in sleep-wake behavior (e.g., shorter sleep duration and delayed sleep phase) and the related increase in people suffering from sleep problems.
These circadian rhythms are self-sustained, endogenous oscillations generated by circadian clocks that persist with a period of around 24 -h under constant conditions. Multiple clinical and foundational science studies report that circadian rhythm disruption can directly alter pain thresholds. Altered circadian pain rhythms manifest inconsistently in various disease states. circadian differences exist in tolerability of administration as well as in effectiveness of analgesia during surgical, obstetric, and dental procedures, with the majority of studies demonstrating highest pain sensitivity during the overnight or early morning hours. Although the relationship between pain states and circadian rhythm has been studied in various surgical procedures and chronic pain syndromes, there is little literature examining the relationship between postoperative pain and circadian rhythm in pediatric surgical procedures. Therefore, it was aimed to evaluate the relationship between postoperative pain and circadian rhythm after pediatric acute appendicitis surgery.
