Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Several mechanisms have been postulated to explain an association between night work and female breast cancer, but the most likely is suppression of the hormone melatonin by light exposure at night."3.91Shedding Light on the Association between Night Work and Breast Cancer. ( Cherrie, JW, 2019)
"The increased cancer risk has been reported in nurses, radio-telephone operators, flight attendants, and women employed in the enterprises, in which 60% of employees work at night."2.47[Night shift work and cancer risk: a literature review]. ( Brudnowska, J; Pepłońska, B, 2011)
"The relationship between mining and prostate cancer deserves further investigation."2.46Could mining be protective against prostate cancer? A study and literature review. ( Ambrosini, GL; Fritschi, L; Girschik, J; Glass, D, 2010)
" Unequivocal estimations of the dosage of melatonin for best efficacy are not yet performed, although a range of different dosages have been tested."2.40Melatonin and jet-lag. ( Samel, A, 1999)
"Fatigue was measured objectively with pre- and post-shift scores of the 3-minute psychomotor vigilance tasks (PVT-B) parameters (reaction times, number of lapses, errors and false starts) and subjectively with pre- and post-shift Karolinska Sleepiness Scale (KSS) ratings."1.48Investigating daily fatigue scores during two-week offshore day shifts. ( Brouwer, S; Bültmann, U; de Boer, M; Gordijn, M; Riethmeister, V, 2018)
"The association between shift work and cancer, which is thought to be mediated by effects on circulating melatonin levels, may be modified by chronotype (ie, the inherent preference for activity in the morning or the evening); however, few studies have examined the potential impact of chronotype on the carcinogenic effects of shift work."1.40The impact of chronotype on melatonin levels among shift workers. ( Bhatti, P; Davis, S; Mirick, DK, 2014)
"Disturbed sleep and/or hypersomnia are direct consequences of shift work and therefore described as shift work disorder."1.36[Burden and health effects of shift work]. ( Heitmann, J, 2010)
