During pregnancy the human fetus receives timed cues from the circadian rhythms of
temperature, metabolites, and hormones from the mother. This influence is interrupted after …

The circadian system in mammals ensures adaptation to the light-dark cycle on Earth and
imposes 24-h rhythmicity on metabolic, physiological and behavioral processes. The central …

Developmental neuroscience research has not yet fully unveiled the dynamics involved in
human birth. The trigger of the first breath, often assumed to be the marker of human life, has …

Previous studies suggest the importance of stable circadian environments for fetuses to
achieve sound physiology and intrauterine development. This idea is also supported by …

Sleep is a crucial factor for the psychological and physiological well-being of any human
being. In Neonatal Intensive Care Units, preterm newborns' sleep may be at risk due to …

Objectives: To characterize bedside 24-h patterns in light exposure in the Neonatal Intensive
Care Unit (NICU) and to explore the environmental and individual patient characteristics that …

Caffeine is the globally consumed psychoactive substance and the drug of choice for the
treatment of apnea of prematurity (AOP), but its therapeutic effects are highly variable among …

Circadian rhythms are oscillations in molecular, physiologic, and behavioral processes
characterized by a 24 h period. These rhythms allow organisms to anticipate and adapt to …

Objective We designed and implemented a novel neonatal intensive care (NICU) lighting
system to support the current understanding of daylight-coupled physiology. Methods We …

Objectives This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as
follows: To assess the benefits and harms of vestibular stimulation compared to standard …
