Environmental Triggers for Rheumatic Diseases

Bryant has done a remarkable job putting together this state-of-the-art issue on environmental triggers for Rheumatic Disease. In the current issue, there is a heavily annotated and critical emphasis on the methodological aspects of how to investigate this important part of our diseases. Association and causation are different things, and our article writers are quick to point out that observations need to be examined in a variety of ways to make sure we do not rush to judgment. Different study designs are emphasized in these contributions, and each has its own benefits and shortcomings.
