The present study was aimed to investigate the 24 hours chronomics of BP/HR in terms of Double amplitude, Acrophase and Hyperbaric index and its relation with circadian rhythm of 6-sulfatoxy melatonin in night shift nurses and actual day workers. 56 night shift nurses, aged 20–40 years, performing day and night shift duties were recruited from the Trauma Center, KGMU, India, and 56 age sex matched actual day workers were also enrolled as controls. BP and HR were recorded ...

Objectives: The present aimed to investigate the circadian pattern of salivary cortisol & sulfatoxy melatonin level in night shift professionals and actual day workers & to find out these changes in the circadian pattern produce by night shift are reversible in due course of time.Methods: 56 Nursing professionals of both gender who perform day and night shifts and 56 actual controls were also recruited in this study. Saliva and urine samples were...

Background & aim: Night shift work is associated with a disruption of circadian rhythms, where a person’s internal body clock is in conflict with the rotating shift schedule. The circadian rhythm of the human body is characterized with an alternating sleep-wake cycle. Shift work has been associated with increased risk of hypertension, cardiovascular diseases and hormonal disturbances. The Present study was aimed to investigate the effects of rotating night shift on 24...

Objectives: The present study investigate the effect of light at night and rotating shift on circadian pattern of salivary cortisol and melatonin sulphate level in night shift workers and to find out whether these changes in the circadian pattern produce by night shift are reversible in due course of time. Sleep loss may be a novel risk factor for various hormones and sleep disturbances leads to metabolic and endocrinal disorders due to interference with diet, circadian metabo...

Objective: The present study was aimed to investigate the 24 h chronomics of BP/HR in terms of Double amplitude, Acrophase and Hyperbaric index and its relation with circadian rhythm of salivary cortisol in night shift nurses and actual day workers.Material and methods: Fifty-six night shift nurses, aged 20–40 years, performing day and night shift duties were recruited from the Trauma Center, KGMU, India, and 56 age sex matched actual day workers we...
