Effect of Morning Light Glasses and Night Short-Wavelength Filter Glasses on Sleep-Wake Rhythmicity in Medical Inpatients
Formentin C, Carraro S, Turco M, Zarantonello L, Angeli P, Montagnese S Frontiers in physiology Sleep and circadian rhythm disorders are common amongst medical inpatients. They are caused by a mixture of factors, including noise, loss of habitual daily routines, and abnormal exposure to light, which tends to be insufficient in the day and too […]
Clinical, neuropsychological and neurophysiological indices and predictors of hepatic encephalopathy (HE)
Formentin C, Zarantonello L, Mangini C, Frigo A C, Montagnese S, Merkel C Liver International Background and Aims The occurrence of overt hepatic encephalopathy (HE) marks a significant progression in the natural history of liver disease. The aims of the present study were to: 1) describe a large cohort of patients with cirrhosis in terms […]

The role of astrocytes in generating circadian rhythmicity in health and disease
Costa R, Montagnese S Journal of Neurochemistry Evidence is accumulating that the mammalian circadian clock system is considerably more complex than previously believed, also in terms of the cell types that actually contribute to generating the oscillation within the master clock, in the suprachiasmatic nuclei of the hypothalamus. Here we review the evidence that has […]
Sleep, Circadian Rhythmicity and Response to Chronotherapy in University Students: Tips from Chronobiology Practicals
Montagnese S, Zarantonello L, Formentin C, Zancato C, Bonetto M B, Biscontin A, Cusumano P, Costa R (2021) Journal of Circadian Rhythms Chronobiology is not routinely taught to biology or medical students in most European countries. Here we present the results of the chronobiology practicals of a group of students of the University of Padova, with a […]
