Autoimmune Comorbidities as Modifiers of Phenotypic Heterogeneity in Facioscapulohumeral Dystrophy

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Facioscapulohumeral dystrophy type 1 (FSHD1) shows clinical heterogeneity that is only partly explained by D4Z4 repeat unit (RU) size. Although immune and inflammatory mechanisms may contribute to disease variability, the prevalence and clinical impact of autoimmune diseases in FSHD remain unclear.

Causality Is Not a Causal Chain

open access: yes
Causality in science and philosophy is often analyzed in terms of isolable cause effect relations. One variable changes another, one event brings about another, and a mechanism is decomposed into individual causal steps. This procedure is methodologically indispensable and extraordinarily successful in physics, chemistry, biology, and neuroscience. Yet

How causal is “circular causality”?

open access: yesFrontiers in Network Physiology
Network physiology addresses global physiological states that arise self-organized through the interactions among the individual components of the human organism and is therefore intimately linked to Synergetics with its central concepts of order parameters, enslavement, and circular causality. Explanations of self-organization phenomena invoking these

Simulation Evidence on Granger Causality in Presence of a Confounding Variable [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper provides simulation evidence on Granger causality between two variables when they are jointly caused by a third variable. Four Data Generating Processes (DGPs) are considered for testing causality by Granger method and two DGPs for testing ...

Effects of Causal Beliefs About Gout on Public Views About Gout Management: A Randomized Experimental Study

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Despite well‐described biologic causes, the public views unhealthy lifestyle choices as the primary cause of gout. This study investigated how causal beliefs about gout influence the public's views about its management. Methods In a randomized study, 201 members of the public viewed one of two 2‐minute videos about gout.
