Real and Apparent Deviations From Rational Choice

Kyklos, Volume 79, Issue 4, Page 1153-1178, November 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper offers a taxonomy of real and apparent deviations from rationality. The taxonomy is based on three axes of divides—whereas the axes are successive refinements. The outermost‐axis divide delineates “anxiety‐based choices” from “anxiety‐free choices.” Anxiety‐based choices are real deviations such as the Allais and Ellsberg paradoxes ...

The cholesterol, high‐density lipoprotein, and glucose index and its derivatives related to obesity and inflammation as novel metabolic markers for predicting new‐onset cardiovascular‐liver‐metabolic multimorbidity: A prospective cohort study [PDF]

J Diabetes Investig
The CHG index and its obesity‐derived variants were associated with incident CLMM, with CHG‐BMI showing the strongest association and predictive performance. CHG‐BMI may serve as a simple and accessible metabolic marker for CLMM risk stratification. ABSTRACT Background Cardiovascular‐liver‐metabolic multimorbidity (CLMM), defined as the co‐occurrence ...

Preoperative caudal blocks associated with decreased cumulative opioid requirements compared to postoperative caudal blocks in pediatric urologic surgery

UroPrecision, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 180-185, September 2026.
Abstract Background Caudal blocks (CB) are a cornerstone of pediatric urologic surgery, providing effective analgesia while mitigating potential neurotoxicity associated with general anesthesia and opioids. However, the optimal timing of CB—preoperative versus postoperative—remains controversial.
