There is evidence to suggest that, in the short term, anti-TNFα therapy may improve processes involved in the causation of rheumatoid cachexia, including systemic inflammation and cytokine release [ 8- 10].
Some of the effects of inflammation that may contribute to carcinogenesis include causation of genomic instability, epigenetic alterations leading to altered gene expression, enhanced proliferation and invasiveness of cells, and resistance to apoptosis [ 12].
Link and Phelan's [ 63] review of advancements in fundamental causation theories supports both this argument and the idea that social factors may condition the impacts of inflammation on QoL once present [ 63].
21 because of inflammation and stiffness.
In the present review, the arguments for and against the role of inflammation and/or angiogenic imbalance as the cause of pre-eclampsia are discussed on the basis of the Bradford Hill criteria for disease causation.
In the present review, the arguments for the role of inflammation and angiogenic imbalance as the cause of pre-eclampsia are discussed on the basis of the Bradford Hill criteria for disease causation (Table 1).
Look for signs of inflammation.
That does not prove causation, of course.
