A biological approach though a pocket watches comparison

You will not believe how the rhythms of the biological clock are linked to pocket watches mechanisms.  Just as out body must have proper nutrition and cells, the watch must have specific pieces, too. That is, to guard against a possible cancer the so-called yclins should work fine. But for cyclins to function well, you need to build clock.

Have you heard about a watch therapy? Some pocket watches are already involved in such treatment. That circadian rhythms may be related to the occurrence of processes such as cancer or blood pressure follow a set pattern and causes most heart attacks happen in the morning, among many other things, necessarily imply that the rhythms relate to health and disease.

But not only that, these rhythms appear to play even with the remedies for the disease itself, and can influence that certain drugs are more useful depending on when they are administered. This is what is known as chronotherapy, or the administration of a treatment according to the most appropriate time for its function.

There is increasing evidence that primary hypertension drugs work best at night, because they decrease the peak that occurs when you wake up and not lose efficacy during the day. In the same vein, it appears that the major cholesterol drugs are more useful when taken before bedtime. And the number of examples has been increasing over time: in the case of stomach ulcers, has been that omeprazole is recommended to take in the morning, but if you take aspirin, it is more advisable for the night. And speaking of asthma, it is recommended that corticosteroids be taken shortly after waking. In the case of cancer treatment, and taking into account the characteristics of chemotherapy, attention has focused so far on finding out what is the right time to reduce their toxicity, but is beginning to be evidence of what are appropriate times to improve the effectiveness of different compounds.

When it comes to pocket watches involving therapies, what they do is promote this division darkest moments, preventing the light interferes with the process and protecting us, therefore, a greater number of mutations and tumors). But not all treatments are drugs. In the case of seasonal depression, which affects so many people over the winter and reduces the ambient light are being tested, apparently successfully, the advancement of therapies like sleep or morning exposure to intense light sources in a attempt to 'retrain' the clock.
