متن کاملDaily Light Exposure Patterns Reveal Phase and Period of the Human Circadian Clock
Light is the most potent time cue that synchronizes (entrains) the circadian pacemaker to the 24-h solar cycle. This entrainment process is an interplay between an individual's daily light perception and intrinsic pacemaker period under free-running conditions. Establishing individual estimates of circadian phase and period can be time-consuming. We show that circadian phase can be accurately p...
متن کامل[Construction of optimal combined chemotherapy of anti-tumor drugs based on chronotherapy].
Metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is almost always incurable, and the median survival is of the order on 18-24 months. Combination therapy with adriamycin (ADR) and docetaxel (DOC) is more effective against MBC than the previous therapy due to differences between their mechanisms. However, the combination of ADR and DOC induces severe adverse effects, limiting its clinical use in many patients wit...
متن کاملTiming of Administration: For Commonly-Prescribed Medicines in Australia
Chronotherapy involves the administration of medication in coordination with the body's circadian rhythms to maximise therapeutic effectiveness and minimise/avoid adverse effects. The aim of this study is to investigate the "time of administration" recommendations on chronotherapy for commonly-prescribed medicines in Australia. This study also aimed to explore the quality of information on the ...
