Introduction: Many body systems, especially the immune system, are affected by circadian rhythm disorders (CRDs). This study investigated the effects of shift lag on wound healing and bowel anastomosis in rats.
Materials And Methods: Forty-five rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: placebo, control, and experimental. Circadian rhythm was disturbed with altered light/dark cycles. Colon anastomosis was performed in rats with and without disturbed circadian rhythms. Serum melatonin levels and bowel anastomosis bursting pressures were measured. Tissue samples were used to measure tissue hydroxyproline levels and for histological assessment.
Results: In the groups with an altered circadian rhythm, the bowel bursting pressures, tissue hydroxyproline levels, and fibrosis were greater than the control group.
Conclusion: This study found that a CRD, simulated by altered light/dark cycles, positively affected the anastomotic bursting pressure. This suggests that cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, transforming growth factor α, and stress hormones affect fibroblasts and thereby increase collagen synthesis in the proliferative phase. More studies are necessary to understand the effects of CRDs. .

Objective: Anorexia nervosa (AN) is an eating disorder characterized by severe weight loss and associated with hyperactivity and circadian rhythm disruption. However, the cellular basis of circadian rhythm disruption is poorly understood. Glial cells in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), the principal circadian pacemaker, are involved in regulating circadian rhythms.

Objective: Carotid artery stenosis, primarily caused by atherosclerosis, is a major risk factor for ischemic stroke. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid artery stenting (CAS) are established interventions to reduce stroke risk and restore cerebral blood flow. However, the effect of these treatments on circadian rhythms, and their influence on stroke recovery, remains underexplored.

Circadian rhythms develop from an ultradian to a circadian rhythm during a few months in the early human life stage. One of the strong factors in promoting the development of circadian rhythms during infancy is maternal rest-activity rhythms. However, few studies have examined comparing the rest-activity rhythms of parents and infants.

Introduction Night eating syndrome (NES) is categorized as an eating disorder characterized by a delayed circadian rhythm of food intake and involves evening hyperphagia and/or nighttime awakening and food consumption two or more times per week. Young adults showed a higher prevalence of night eating, and students who reported high stress, irregular sleep patterns, and disordered eating may be more likely to develop NES symptoms. Objective This study aimed to assess the prevalence of Night Eating Syndrome among college students in Chengalpattu district of Tamil Nadu (India) and to find out the association between NES and socio-demographic variables and depression among the students.
