HYPOTHesizing about central comBAT against obesity

Hypothesizing about signaling networks

The current knowledge about signaling networks is largely incomplete. Thus biologists constantly need to revise or extend existing knowledge. The revision and/or extension are first formulated as theoretical hypotheses, then verified experimentally. Many computer-aided systems have been developed to assist biologists in undertaking this challenge. The majority of the systems help in finding “pa...

Central Obesity and Normochromic, Normocytic Anemia

Abstract Objective: Obesity is related to anemia which is explained its mechanism as disorder in iron absorption but the more rational reason is anemia of inflammation or anemia of chronic disease. The aim of this study was to define the prevalence of obesity in patients with normochromic normocytic anemia. Materials and methods: We screened 406 patients who were referred to endocrine cli...

ACUPUNCTURE AND OBESITY About obesity

Reconsidering the policy options to combat obesity

As the prevalence of obesity steadily grows, so too does our understanding of the threats that excess weight poses to both our individual health and our nation as a whole. With this information, there is a need now more than ever to reconsider the options we have to mitigate the health risks and costs of this growing epidemic. This includes, among other conversations, examining how employers ca...

Hypothesizing Relevant Situation Models

We examine some issues relating to the hypothesisation of relevant models of a situation when the domain knowledge is primarily probabilistic in nature. Our formalism seeks consistent, minimal, sumciently large, and relevant situation-descriptions when a preference criterion is specified.
