Metabolic syndrome: nothing more than a constellation?
In these last years, the scientific community made a considerable effort to understand the biology underlying cardiovascular disease (CVD), the major cause of morbidity and mortality in the developed world.

One of the most remarkable features of this continued appeal is regional foresight, or should I say regional planning? T...
متن کاملTurbulence in more than two and less than three dimensions.
We investigate the behavior of turbulent systems in geometries with one compactified dimension. A novel phenomenological scenario dominated by the splitting of the turbulent cascade emerges both from the theoretical analysis of passive scalar turbulence and from direct numerical simulations of Navier-Stokes turbulence.
متن کاملCausal criteria and counterfactuals; nothing more (or less) than scientific common sense
Two persistent myths in epidemiology are that we can use a list of "causal criteria" to provide an algorithmic approach to inferring causation and that a modern "counterfactual model" can assist in the same endeavor. We argue that these are neither criteria nor a model, but that lists of causal considerations and formalizations of the counterfactual definition of causation are nevertheless usef...
