Chronobiology and chronotherapeutics. Applications to cardiovascular medicine.
The concept of homeostasis, ie, constancy of the milieu interne, has dominated the teaching, research, and practice of medicine during the 20th century. According to this theory, biologic functions and processes are maintained in relative constancy over time. The emerging concepts of chronobiology, the scientific discipline of biologic rhythm study, and the findings from research in this field ...
متن کاملFrom the basic neuroscience of circadian clock function to light therapy for depression: on the emergence of chronotherapeutics.
Biological psychiatry seeks to establish the genetic, neurochemical, and physiological basis of mental disorders and their treatments. Chronobiology, or biological rhythm research, has made a set of discoveries in recent years across these same levels of functional organisation. And psychiatric chronotherapeutics is the fast-growing application of circadian principles in treating mood and sleep...
متن کاملDeterministic mathematical modelling for cancer chronotherapeutics: cell population dynamics and treatment optimisation
Chronotherapeutics has been designed and used for more than twenty years as an effective treatment against cancer by a few teams around the world, among whom one of the first is Francis Lévi’s at Paul-Brousse hospital (Villejuif, France), in application of circadian clock physiology to determine best infusion times within the 24-hour span for anticancer drug delivery. Mathematical models have b...
متن کاملRole of Chronobiology as a Transdisciplinary Field of Research: Its Applications in Treating Mood Disorders
Chronobiology is a field that studies the effects of time on biological systems. Periodicity is of particular interest. The master biological clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus controls daily rhythms of core body temperature, rest-activity cycle, physiological and behavioral functions, psychomotor functions and mood in humans. The clock genes are involved in the generation of the circadian rh...
متن کاملAntidepressant chronotherapeutics for bipolar depression
Chronotherapeutics refers to treatments based on the principles of circadian rhythm organization and sleep physiology, which control the exposure to environmental stimuli that act on biological rhythms, in order to achieve therapeutic effects in the treatment of psychiatric conditions. It includes manipulations of the sleep-wake cycle such as sleep deprivation and sleep phase advance, and contr...
