Jean Arnaud Murat was a physician at the Medical School of Montpellier in France. In 1806 he published his outstanding book "De L'Influence de la Nuit sur les Maladies ou Traité des Maladies Nocturne". In his book he concentrated on the following questions: - Does the night has an influence on a disease? - Are there diseases in which this is more or less obvious? - What is the physical background of this influence? Murat described in detail certain diseases which dominate at night and he concluded that the most evident motivation for his observations is the constant and periodic movement of the earth around its axis, resulting in a period of about 24 h, and the elliptic rotation around the sun. Most important Murat presented for the first time data that the menstrual cycle is not governed by the lunar cycle.
让·阿诺德·穆拉特是法国蒙彼利埃医学院的一名医生。1806 年，他出版了杰出的著作《论夜间对疾病的影响，或夜间疾病论》。在书中，他集中探讨了以下问题：- 夜间对疾病有影响吗？- 有没有在某些疾病中，这种影响更为明显？- 这种影响的物理背景是什么？穆拉特详细描述了某些在夜间占主导地位的疾病，并得出结论，他观察的最明显动机是地球围绕其轴的持续和周期性运动，大约每 24 小时一个周期，以及围绕太阳的椭圆形旋转。最重要的是，穆拉特首次提出了月经周期不受月球周期控制的数据。
