Fatty Muscles Raise the Risk of Serious Heart Disease Regardless of Overall Body Weight, study shows

People with pockets of fat hidden inside their muscles are at a higher risk of dying or being hospitalized from a heartattack or heart failure, regardless of their body mass index, according to research published in the European Heart Journal.

This ‘intermuscular’ fat is highly prized in beef steaks for cooking. However, little is known about this type of body fat in humans, and its impact on health. This is the first study to comprehensively investigate the effects of fatty muscles on heart disease.

The new finding adds evidence that existing measures, such as body mass index or waist circumference, are not adequate to evaluate the risk of heart disease accurately for all people.

OpenAI’s o3-mini Now Lets You See The AI’s Thought Process

In today’s AI news, OpenAI released its o3-mini model one week ago, offering both free and paid users a more accurate, faster, and cheaper alternative to o1-mini. Now, OpenAI has updated the o3-mini to include an updated chain of thought.

In other advancements, Hugging Face and Physical Intelligence have quietly launched Pi0 (Pi-Zero) this week, the first foundational model for robots that translates natural language commands directly into physical actions. “Pi0 is the most advanced vision language action model,” said Remi Cadene, a research scientist at Hugging Face.

S Luxo Jr., Apple And, one year later the Rabbit R1 is actually good now. It launched to reviews like “avoid this AI gadget”, but 12 months have passed. Where is the Rabbit R1 now? Well with a relentless pipeline of updates and novel AI ideas…it’s actually pretty good now!?

In videos, Moderator Shirin Ghaffary (Reporter, Bloomberg News) leads a expert panel which includes; Chase Lochmiller (Crusoe, CEO) Costi Perricos (Deloitte, Global GenAI Business Leader) Varun Mohan (Codeium, Co-Founder and CEO) that ask, how are we building the infrastructure to support this massive global technological revolution?

Meanwhile, Humans are terrible at detecting lies, says psychologist Riccardo Loconte… but what if we had an AI-powered tool to help? He introduces his team’s work successfully training an AI to recognize falsehoods.

And, Mo Gawdat, the former Chief Business Officer for Google X, bestselling author, the founder of ‘One Billion Happy’ foundation, and co-founder of ‘Unstressable,’ joins Professor Scott Galloway to discuss the state of AI — where it stands today, how it’s evolving, and what that means for our future.

Artificial Intelligence–Enhanced Electrocardiography for Hypertension

Question Can an electrocardiography (ECG)–based artificial intelligence risk estimator for hypertension (AIRE-HTN) predict incident hypertension and stratify risk for incident hypertension-associated adverse events?

Findings In this prognostic study including an ECG algorithm trained on 189 539 patients at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and externally validated on 65 610 patients from UK Biobank, AIRE-HTN predicted incident hypertension and stratified risk for cardiovascular death, heart failure, myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, and chronic kidney disease.

Meaning Results suggest that AIRE-HTN can predict the development of hypertension and may identify at-risk patients for enhanced surveillance.

Chronic kidney disease

Is the progressive and irreversible loss of kidney function. In this Primer, Romagnani et al. describe the epidemiology and pathophysiology of this disease, and summarize its diagnosis and management, explaining how understanding and treating all modifiable risk factors can slow the progression of chronic kidney disease and prevent or attenuate its consequences.

Muscle Strength and Cardiorespiratory Health Correlate to Reduced Mortality in Cancer Survivors

Physical fitness is typically associated with health benefits, and we generally consider exercise good. Many studies have shown that this relates to cancer, where exercise and maintaining a healthy weight can reduce the risk of developing cancer. Studies have shown that obesity raises the risk of mortality in cancer patients.

Data recently published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine suggests that staying fit could reduce the risk of dying from cancer. The study looked at two different readouts for fitness: muscle strength and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF).

The researchers undertook a comprehensive review and meta-analysis by examining peer-reviewed studies published before August 2023. The analysis included 42 studies encompassing over 46,000 patients.

Ancient Viruses Have a Vital Role in Human Embryo Development

Ancient viruses are embedded everywhere in the human genome. Estimates range, but it’s thought that about eight percent of the human genome could be made up of these ancient retroviruses, which are also known as transposable elements. It’s thought that the action of many of of these sequences has stopped, though some research has shown they may still affect human biology. And now, scientists have shown that transposable elements also play crucial roles in the development of human embryos. The findings have been reported in Cell.

There are transposable elements in the human genome that are active in the earliest stages of human embryo development, when there is significant molecular flexibility and plasticity. But the regulation of that plasticity is unclear.
