Article Abstract
Circadian rhythms are core regulatory mechanisms that evolved to align biological functions with the Earth's rotation. These rhythms are conserved across organisms from unicellular life to multicellular species and play essential roles in metabolism, immune responses, and sleep-wake cycle. Circadian disruptions are strongly associated with various diseases. Over the past decades, genetic studies in and mice have identified key conserved clock genes and uncovered transcription-translation feedback loops governing circadian regulation. Additionally, rhythmic neurons in the brain integrate complex neural circuits to precisely regulate physiological and behavioral rhythms. This review highlights recent advances in understanding the neuronal circuit mechanisms of rhythmic neurons in the brain and discusses future directions for translating circadian rhythm research into chronomedicine and precision therapies.

Environmental noise, particularly from road, rail, and aircraft traffic, is now firmly recognized as a widespread risk factor for cardiovascular disease. About 1 in 3 Europeans is exposed to chronic noise exposure above the guideline thresholds recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), thus contributing substantially to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Robust evidence from recent meta-analyses links transportation noise to ischemic heart disease, heart failure, stroke, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Background: Nurse burnout remains a significant global challenge, exacerbated by rotating shift work, which disrupts circadian rhythms and contributes to psychological strain. Burnout is characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment-outcomes that can compromise patient care and workforce stability.
Objective: This systematic review examines the association between rotating shift work and nurse burnout, focusing on how specific shift characteristics influence each burnout dimension and exploring contextual moderators such as organizational support and work environment.
Night shift and occupational fatigue among nurses who work 12 hours in Jeddah.

The ever-demanding job of nurses necessitates night shift work for 12 hours at various healthcare facilities to improve continuity of care. Working at night is associated with physical and mental stress as it disturbs circadian rhythm, affects sleep, influences dietary and eating routine, and impairs cognitive function. Nursing is a high-demand profession that requires working for longer hours, due to which, nurses are at increased risk of occupational fatigue.

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is associated with severe metabolic dysregulation and organ complications such as hepatomegaly and nephropathy. While insulin therapy remains the cornerstone of treatment, there is growing interest in dietary interventions that modulate metabolic outcomes independently of insulin. This study aimed to investigate the effects of calorie restriction (CR) combined with time-restricted feeding (TRF) on metabolic and histological parameters in a high-fat diet-fed, streptozotocin-induced rat model of T1D.
