Objective: This study aimed to assess the association of shift work with blood glucose and the mediating role of oxidative stress.

Methods: Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and urinary concentrations of oxidative stress biomarkers (8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine [8-OHdG], 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal-mercapturic acid, and 8-iso-prostaglandin F [8-isoPGF ]) were measured among 831 participants.

Results: Positive dose-response relationships among shift work duration,  FPG (p  < 0.001), and abnormal glucose regulation (AGR; p  = 0.035) were found. Compared with participants without shift work, three-shift work was associated with a higher level of FPG (percentage change: 6.49%, 95% CI: 4.21%-8.83%) and a higher prevalence of impaired fasting glucose (odds ratio: 1.886, 95% CI: 1.114-3.192) and AGR (odds ratio: 1.929, 95% CI: 1.197-3.111). A dose-response relationship was found between shift work duration and 8-OHdG (p  = 0.002) and 8-isoPGF (p  = 0.019). Urinary 8-OHdG and 8-isoPGF partially mediated the association between shift work duration and FPG levels and the prevalence of impaired fasting glucose and AGR, with mediating proportions ranging from 4.77% to 20.76%.

Conclusions: These findings suggest that shift work is positively associated with blood glucose, and the association is partially mediated by oxidative stress.

Precision medicine involves a paradigm shift toward personalized data-driven clinical decisions. The concept of a medical "digital twin" has recently become popular to designate digital representations of patients as a support for a wide range of data science applications. However, the concept is ambiguous when it comes to practical implementations.

Background: Maintaining gut health is a persistent and unresolved challenge in the poultry industry. Given the critical role of gut health in chicken performance and welfare, there is a pressing need to identify effective gut health intervention (GHI) strategies to ensure optimal outcomes in poultry farming. In this study, across three broiler production cycles, we compared the metagenomes and performance of broilers provided with ionophores (as the control group) against birds subjected to five different GHI combinations involving vaccination, probiotics, prebiotics, essential oils, and reduction of ionophore use.
