Nelson , Gregory E. ISBN 0 X. In the journal Science published a report that indicated that light exposure to the back of the knee may reset the human circadian pacemaker. The report was highlighted as one of the top discoveries that transform our ideas about the natural world. A recent report in the same journal challenged the initial data, but the publication of both these reports demonstrates the increasing importance of studies on biological rhythms, seasonality, photoperiod day length , and ambient temperature.
This book is a timely reminder that much information has already been accumulated on seasonal variation in immunity and disease prevalence. It is also an excellent response to the rapid changes in our lifestyles and environment. People have become more mobile. These journeys, especially those involving transmeridian flight with its concomitant jet lag, produce stress aggravated further since September 11 , crowding, air pollution, and climate change, all of which pose significant threats to our biological rhythm and exert a profound influence on our immunity and susceptibility to disease.
In fact, serious infectious diseases, including the transmission of tuberculosis, are described as a complication of air travel. While discussing the mechanisms underlying circadian rhythms, it would be well worth mentioning their genetic basis.
Seasonal Patterns of Stress, Immune Function and Disease by Randy J Nelson, Gregory E Demas, Sabra L Klein, Lance J Kriegsfeld. "As the first book to describe seasonal immune function from an interdisciplinary perspective, [this book] is recommended for undergraduate or graduate classes.
It is now known that clock genes are present in the hypothalamus and that the expression of at least some of these genes is subject to daily rhythms.
