The mediating role of sleep, physical activity, and diet in the association between shift
work and respiratory infections
Objectives Shift work may be associated with an increased incidence of respiratory infections. However, underlying
mechanisms are unclear. Therefore, our aim was to examine the mediating role of sleep, physical activity, and diet in the association between shift work and respiratory infections.
Methods This prospective cohort study included 396 shift and non-shift ...
Sleep Loss as a Factor to Induce Cellular and Molecular Inflammatory Variations
A reduction in the amount of time spent sleeping occurs chronically in modern society. Clinical and experimental studies in humans and animal models have shown that immune function is impaired when sleep loss is experienced. Sleep loss exerts a strong regulatory influence on peripheral levels of inflammatory mediators of the immune response. An increasing number of research projects support the existence of ...
Rhythms of life: circadian disruption and brain disorders across the lifespan
Abstract
Many processes in the human body — including brain function — are regulated over the 24-hour cycle, and there are strong associations between disrupted circadian rhythms (for example, sleep–wake cycles) and disorders of the CNS. Brain disorders such as autism, depression and Parkinson disease typically develop at certain stages of life, and circadian rhythms are important during each stage of life ...
Melatonin and Its Relation to the Immune System and Inflammation
ABSTRACT:
Melatonin (N -acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) was initially thought to be produced exclusively in the pineal gland. Subsequently its synthesis was demonstrated in other organs, for example, the retinas, and very high concentrations
of melatonin are found at other sites, for example, bone marrow cells and bile. The origin of the high level of melatonin in these locations has not been definitively established, but it is ...

Role of probiotics to combat viral infections with emphasis on COVID-19
Abstract
Interspecies transmissions of viruses between animals and humans may result in unpredictable pathogenic potential and new transmissible diseases. This mechanism has recently been exemplified by the discovery of new pathogenic viruses, such as the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, Middle-East respiratory syndromecoronavirus epidemic in Saudi Arabia, and the deadly ...
Nutrients in prevention, treatment, and management of viral infections; special focus on
Coronavirus
ABSTRACT
Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a pandemic caused by coronavirus with mild to severe respiratory symptoms. This paper aimed to investigate the effect of nutrients on the immune system and their possible roles in the prevention, treatment, and management of COVID-19 in adults.
Methods: This Systematic review was designed based on the guideline of the Prefer...
