Article Abstract

Iterated conditionals of the form If p, then if q, r are an important topic in philosophical logic. In recent years, psychologists have gained much knowledge about how people understand simple conditionals, but there are virtually no published psychological studies of iterated conditionals. This paper presents experimental evidence from a study comparing the iterated form, If p, then if q, r with the "imported," noniterated form, If p and q, then r, using a probability evaluation task and a truth-table task, and taking into account qualitative individual differences. This allows us to critically contrast philosophical and psychological approaches that make diverging predictions regarding the interpretation of these forms. The results strongly support the probabilistic Adams conditional and the "new paradigm" that takes this conditional as a starting point.

Optimising fibromyalgia criteria: evidence from the UK Biobank.

Semin Arthritis Rheum

August 2025

Aberdeen Centre for Arthritis and Musculoskeletal Health (Epidemiology Group), University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen AB25 2ZD, UK. Electronic address:

Objective: To evaluate the performance of the 2016 revisions to the modified fibromyalgia criteria (FM2016) in identifying individuals with self-reported fibromyalgia in a large population sample, and to test whether simplified symptom thresholds and alternative definitions of widespread pain improve case-finding utility.

Methods: We used data from 167,184 UK Biobank participants who completed an "Experience of Pain" online questionnaire. Logistic regression and clinical utility indices (CUI+ and CUI-) were used to assess the performance of the FM2016 criteria and alternative modifications in case-finding and screening self-reported fibromyalgia diagnoses.

Hypergraphs have demonstrated their superiority in modeling complex systems compared to traditional graphs by directly capturing the interactions among multiple entities. Hyperedge prediction, which aims to predict unobserved potential hyperedges, is a fundamental task in hypergraph analysis. A critical component in hyperedge prediction is the sampling of informative negative hyperedges from significantly larger candidate negative sets, compared to traditional graphs, to enhance model training efficacy.

Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS), which can provide dense spatial and temporal measurements using optical fibers, is quickly becoming critical for large-scale infrastructure monitoring. However, anomaly detection in DAS data is still challenging owing to the spatial correlations between sensing channels and nonlinear temporal dynamics. Recent approaches often disregard the explicit sensor layout and instead handle DAS data as two-dimensional images or flattened sequences, eliminating the spatial topology.

Obtaining multiple CT scans from the same patient is required in many clinical scenarios, such as lung nodule screening and image-guided radiation therapy. Repeated scans would expose patients to higher radiation dose and increase the risk of cancer. In this study, we aim to achieve ultra-low-dose imaging for subsequent scans by collecting extremely undersampled sinogram via regional few-view scanning, and preserve image quality utilizing the preceding fullsampled scan as prior.

Introduction: As digital health and artificial intelligence (AI) become integral to medicine, there is a growing need for physicians to develop computational thinking skills. In vascular neurology, a specialty reliant on algorithmic decision-making and complex data interpretation, programming logic (PL) offers a powerful cognitive framework. This review argues that PL can enhance diagnostic precision, clinical efficiency, and data-driven reasoning.
