Clinical aspects of human circadian rhythms

Klerman, Elizabeth B.·2005·Journal of Biological Rhythms

Abstract

Circadian rhythmicity can be important in the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of clinical disease. Due to the difficulties in conducting the necessary experimental work, it remains unknown whether approximately 24-h changes in pathophysiology or symptoms of many diseases are causally linked to endogenous circadian rhythms or to other diurnal factors that change across the day, such as changes in posture, activity, sleep or wake state, or metabolic changes associated with feeding or fasting. Until the physiology is accurately known, appropriate treatment cannot be designed. This review includes an overview of clinical disorders that are caused or affected by circadian or diurnal rhythms. The clinical side effects of disruption of circadian rhythmicity, such as in shiftwork, including the public health implications of the disrupted alertness and performance, are also discussed.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Misalignment of the circadian rhythm with the 24 h outside environment may lead to a circadian rhythm disorder that negatively affects sleep and may lead to metabolic, cognitive, cardiovascular, and gastrointestinal impairments.

    “The misalignment of the circadian rhythm with the 24 h outside environment may lead to a circadian rhythm disorder which negatively affects sleep and may lead to health conditions including metabolic, cognitive, cardiovascular, and gastrointestinal impairments [15].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
