Circadian clocks play an essential role in adapting locomotor activity as well as physiological, and metabolic rhythms of organisms to the day-night cycles on Earth during the four seasons. In addition, they can serve as a time reference for measuring day length and adapt organisms in advance to annual changes in the environment, which can be particularly pronounced at higher latitudes. The physiological responses of organisms to day length are also known as photoperiodism. This special issue of the Journal of Comparative Physiology A aims to account for diurnal and photoperiodic adaptations by presenting a collection of ten review articles, five original research articles, and three perspective pieces. The contributions include historical accounts, circadian and photoperiodic clock models, epigenetic, molecular, and neuronal mechanisms of seasonal adaptations, latitudinal differences in photoperiodic responses and studies in the wild that address the challenges of global change.

This study aimed to develop and validate machine learning (ML) models to predict the occurrence of delayed hyponatremia after transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary adenoma. We retrospectively collected clinical data on patients with pituitary adenomas treated with transsphenoidal surgery between January 2010 and December 2020. From January 2021 to December 2022, patients with pituitary adenomas were prospectively enrolled.

To explore the risk factors of delayed extubation after expanded thymectomy in patients with myasthenia gravis. Patients with myasthenia gravis who underwent expanded thymectomy from May 2021 to January 2024 and were admitted to Intensive Care Unit (ICU) after surgery were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided in to the delayed extubation and successful extubation according to the length of mechanical ventilation whether exceeding than 48 hours.

Aims: The primary aim of this study is to compare mobility status of patients receiving oral oxycodone with those receiving subcutaneous alfentanil as analgesic methods prior to mobilization to help physiotherapy compliance after hip fracture surgery. The secondary aims are to assess postoperative pain, health-related quality of life, in-hospital length of stay, total use of analgesia over postoperative days 1 and 2 (POD 1 and POD 2), complication rates within 30 days, and 30-day mortality rates.
Methods: A single-centre, prospective cohort study of 64 patients will be undertaken.
How Is Preoperative Opioid Use Associated With Readmissions and Outcomes in Lower Extremity Trauma?

Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Fox Chase Cancer Center, Philadelphia, PA, USA.
Background: Opioid use disorder (OUD) has been implicated as a potential risk factor for adverse outcomes and readmissions in various surgical procedures. Patients admitted with an open fracture of the lower extremity often have multifarious pain needs, require surgical procedures, and have prolonged rehabilitation; previous OUD complicates this process. Our goal was to describe at a national level how OUD is associated with readmission, complications, and healthcare expenditure for patients admitted with open lower extremity fractures.

Background: Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common complication after major surgery and is associated with poor outcomes in older adults. Early identification of patients at high risk of POD can enable targeted prevention efforts. However, existing POD prediction models require inpatient data collected during the hospital stay, which delays predictions and limits scalability.
