Time is on the Immune System’s Side, Yes it is

March 19, 2022
Abele SH, Meadows KE, Medeiros D, Silver AC. Time is on the Immune System’s Side, Yes it is. Yale J Biol Med. 2019;92(2):225-231. Published 2019 Jun 27. Abstract From bacteria to mammals, nearly all organisms have adapted their physiology and behavior to a daily rhythm. These circadian (daily) rhythms influence virtually all aspects of physiological architecture...

Shift-work causes negative impacts on health, affects men and women differently

April 21, 2021
APRIL 21, 2021 by University of Waterloo https://medicalxpress.com/news/2021-04-shift-work-negative-impacts-health-affects.html Shift-work and irregular work schedules can cause several health-related issues and affect our defense against infection, according to new research from the University of Waterloo. These health-related issues occur because the body’s natural clock, called the circadian clock, can be disrupted by inconsistent changes in the sleep-wake schedule...

Modeling the circadian regulation of the immune system: Sexually dimorphic effects of shift work

April 21, 2021
Stéphanie M. C. Abo et al. Modeling the circadian regulation of the immune system: Sexually dimorphic effects of shift work, PLOS Computational Biology (2021). DOI: 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1008514 Abstract The circadian clock exerts significance influence on the immune system and disruption of circadian rhythms has been linked to inflammatory pathologies. Shift workers often experience circadian misalignment as their irregular work...

Pediatric Multi-System Inflammatory Syndrome

May 13, 2020
Scientists suspect that Pediatric Multi-System Inflammatory Syndrome (PMIS) may be related to COVID-19,which appears to be a delayed inflammatory reaction that occurs several weeks after a COVID-19 infection. The illness mirrors many of the symptoms of toxic shock syndrome or Kawasaki disease, including severe inflammation affecting the coronary arteries. The symptoms in younger children include...
