Long-term night shift (NS) work is known to affect the body's circadian rhythm, leading to chronic low-level inflammation. We aimed to evaluate this information for the first time through CRP-Albumin Ratio [CAR] and Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio [NLR] levels. Design is descriptive, cross-sectional. After exclusion criteria, a total of 84 males were included in the study, 38 of whom had been working at NS for at least three months and 46 who had been working on the day shift. Both NLR and CAR levels were significantly higher in NS workers compared to day shift workers (2.19 [%95 CI 1.99-2.39]; 1.84 [%95 CI 1.65-2.03] = 0.012 and 0.44 [%95 CI 0.32-0.56]; 0.24 [%95 CI 0.18-0.29] = 0.002, respectively). This supports the idea that chronic low inflammation may occur as a result of disruption of the circadian rhythm.

A mixed-methods pilot study of domiciliary nasal high-flow therapy for breathlessness in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who do not qualify for domiciliary long-term oxygen therapy.

Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of Melbourne, Parkville, VIC, Australia.
Background: High-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) therapy delivers humidified, heated air with flow rates of up to 60 L/min with oxygen entrained. HFNO has advantages over conventional oxygen therapy, including precise and reliable fraction of inspired oxygen delivery, therefore is recommended as first-line treatment for people with acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure.
Objectives: This pilot study aimed to determine the feasibility and acceptability of domiciliary nasal high flow (NHF) without entrained oxygen for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and severe breathlessness.

Objectives: This study investigated the association between combined exposures and hyperglycemia incidence, as well as the dose-response relationship between the duration of night work and hyperglycemia among long-term night workers.
Methods: In this prospective cohort study, 12 716 night workers from the nationwide population were recruited. Hyperglycemia incidence was based on the one-year change in fasting blood glucose levels.
Shorter Night Splinting by a Modified Ponseti Method With Similar Foot-Function and Health-Related Quality of Life.

Background The Ponseti method is the most frequent method for clubfoot treatment. It includes a six-year night-splinting period, which is difficult to comply with. The objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcomes, recurrence rates, and patient-reported health-related quality of life following a modified Ponseti method with reduced night splinting duration.

Objective: The objective of this study was to describe the use of a novel approach, the "floating island" technique to surgically address calcified thoracic disc herniation (cTDH) that interdigitates with adjacent dura and to report clinical and radiographic outcomes of patients.
Methods: A retrospective case series was conducted by examining the electronic medical records of consecutive patients who underwent thoracic discectomy from August 2017 to December 2022. Of 65 patients treated for thoracic disc herniation, 37 had cTDHs.
