Thyroid hormone: sex-dependent role in nervous system regulation and disease

open access: yesBiology of Sex Differences, 2021
Thyroid hormone (TH) regulates many functions including metabolism, cell differentiation, and nervous system development. Alteration of thyroid hormone level in the body can lead to nervous system-related problems linked to cognition, visual attention ...

Mendelian randomization indicates causal effects of estradiol levels on kidney function in males

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
ContextChronic kidney disease (CKD) is a public health burden worldwide. Epidemiological studies observed an association between sex hormones, including estradiol, and kidney function.ObjectiveWe conducted a Mendelian randomization (MR) study to assess a

The role of smoking and alcohol in mediating the effect of gastroesophageal reflux disease on lung cancer: A Mendelian randomization study

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2023
Observational studies have suggested a positive association between gastroesophageal reflux disease and lung cancer, but due to the existence of confounders, it remains undetermined whether gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) has a causal association ...

Causality violation and singularities [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
We show that singularities necessarily occur when a boundary of causality violating set exists in a space-time under the physically suitable assumptions except the global causality condition in the Hawking-Penrose singularity theorems.

The causal ladder and the strength of K-causality. I [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
A unifying framework for the study of causal relations is presented. The causal relations are regarded as subsets of M x M and the role of the corresponding antisymmetry conditions in the construction of the causal ladder is stressed.

On the concept of Bell's local causality in local classical and quantum theory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The aim of this paper is to give a sharp definition of Bell's notion of local causality. To this end, first we unfold a framework, called local physical theory, integrating probabilistic and spatiotemporal concepts.
