Jamie Dimon says lower-income people need more help and he'd'pay for it by taxing the wealthy a little bit more '
For Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, taxing the rich more to help support the poor is “as much of a no-brainer policy as I have ever seen.” The dean of Wall Street CEOs has spoken, and he says the wealthy aren’t paying their fair share in taxes—sort of. It’s all about the earned income tax credit, or EITC,…#chase #jamiedimon #eitc #dimon #childtaxcredit #jpmorgan #billackman #harvard #democrat #paulryan (Source: Reuters: Health)

Microbes that gave rise to all plants and animals became multicellular 1.6 billion years ago, tiny fossils reveal
A new study describing a microscopic, algalike fossil dating back more than 1.6 billion years supports the idea that one of the hallmarks of the complex life we see around us—multicellularity— is much older than previously thought. Together with other recent research, the fossil, reported today in
Science Advances
, suggests the lineage known as eukaryotes— which features compartmentalized cells and includes everything from redwoods to jellies to people—
became multicellular some 600 million years earlier than scientists once generally thought

AI's impact on false-positive mammograms, breast cancer screening performance
Computer-aided detection (CAD) software for mammography has been available for decades but has traditionally been hampered by a high number of false-positive marks. AI software based on deep-learning algorithms is showing promise, however, for helping to improve specificity in screening mammography and other breast imaging modalities.
Just over 40.5 million mammograms were performed in the U.S. in 2023, according to Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) national statistics. Although mammogram is the most widely used screening modality, a known problem is that 9.5% of the 10% of women contacted for further testing after...

Is human-AI ‘symbiosis’ the path forward in chest radiography?
Human-AI symbiosis – rather than totally autonomous AI – should be the current goal for AI in chest radiography, according to an editorial published January 23 in Radiology.“In the coming years, radiologists will find themselves working in a reimagined diagnostic cockpit, increasingly interpreting chest radiographs and other imaging studies in symbiotic partnership with AI,” proposed lead author Warren Gefter, MD, of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, and colleagues.To achieve this vision, radiologists will need to apply the goals of “human-centered AI” and symbiosis to the design and implementatio...

Unexplained Weight Loss Is Linked to Cancer
People who lose a significant amount of weight without dieting, exercise, or other lifestyle changes may also be at higher risk of some cancers, according to researchers who say a sudden drop may be an early indicator of the disease.
Those who spontaneously shed more than 10% of their body weight developed cancer at a rate of about 1,362 per 100,000 over a 12-month period, according to a study released Tuesday by the Journal of the American Medical Association, while the rate of diagnosis among people who hadn’t recently lost weight without explanation was 869 per 100,000.
