Altered neutrophil extracellular traps formation among medical residents with sleep deprivation

Abstract excerpt

Resident physicians on long-term night shifts often face sleep deprivation, affecting the immune response, notably neutrophils, vital to innate defense mechanisms. Sleep-deprived residents exhibit altered neutrophil counts and reduced phagocytosis and NADPH oxidase activity, critical to combating infections. Our study focused on neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), a defense process against pathogens not...
