A temporal microscopy (microchronometry, a term suggested by the senior author, or perhaps
microbiochronometry) applied by the cosinor (1-3) to consecutive intervals of a time series is the counterpart
of serial sections used in histology; it serves to reveal rhythms as the counterpart of cells, with the
anticipation that some rhythm alterations may precede cellular change and could thus provide useful
harbingers for preventive action. <...> This approach can be used for analyses revolving around the abundant
literature dealing with transmeridian dyschronism (jet lag) and related problems (4-15) by considering
mainly the 24-hour component of our time structure, more often than not without parameter estimation after
prior hypothesis testing, with only a few exceptions concerned with circaseptans (16-19), circasemiseptans
(19, 20) and circannuals (21), and without considering other non-photic (22) components. <...> Systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate were monitored automatically with a TM-2421
instrument (A&D, Tokyo, Japan) at half-hour intervals before, during and after an arctic tour from 20 July to
4 Aug 2005. <...> Analyses by sphygmochron (23) of 7-day/24-hour records of blood pressure and heart rate routinely
consist of the concomitant fit of cosine curves with s of 24 and 12 hours to account for the traditional
approximation of the usual non-sinusoidal circadian waveform of these variables. <...> Analyses of such R-R intervals to derive the correlation dimension as a measure of fractal scaling indicated
the critical role of the 12-hour component to separate healthy men from patients with coronary artery disease
