“…Epigenetic plays an important role in such cases. Prolonged exposure to light and missing dark periods not only change melatonin levels in the body but may also bring about gene mutation and methylation which in turn change gene expression that may be responsible for higher incidence of BC cancers [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19].…”

Sphingomonas paucimobilis represents an aerobic Gram-negative bacillus that is gaining recognition as an important human pathogen. These species are widely distributed in both natural environment and hospitals. They appear as opportunistic pathogen that take advantage of underlying conditions and diseases. Regardless of the clinical significance, pathogenic mechanism varies throughout current bibliography. Aim of our study, reflects presentation of a rare case of an out-patient clinical asymptomatic, with vaginal culture positive for this rare microorganism, S. paucimobilis. Assiduous diagnosis and therapeutic mapping consist necessary conditions of effective treatment.

“…First, it can have harmful effects on human health (i) when outdoor lighting illuminates the interior of houses (light trespass), disturbing the sleep of city dwellers (Argys et al, 2020) ; and (ii) when it emits blue light, which often makes up LED light, disturbing the production of melatonin and therefore the quality of sleep (Davis et al, 2001;Navara and Nelson, 2007), or damaging the retina of the eye (ANSES, 2019). These effects, in addition to other urban nuisances (e.g., urban heat islands, air pollution, noise pollution), have significant effects on the observed rates of obesity, heart disease and cancer (Rajput et al, 2021;Han and Lee, 2021). In addition to health effects, light pollution harms astronomical observations by reducing the visibility of galaxies, nebulae or other astronomical objects (Gallaway et al, 2010).…”
