A study in Nature Communications estimates income inequality in the Roman Empire and the Chinese Han Empire and finds that the Han Empire was, overall, more unequal and extractive than the Roman Empire, with the respective one-percenters earning 26% and 19% of total income. 🏺 🧪
A comparison of income inequality in the Roman and Chinese Han empires - Nature Communications
The authors estimate income inequality in the Roman Empire and the Chinese Han Empire. They find that the Han Empire was, overall, more unequal and extractive than the Roman Empire, with the respective one-percenters earning 26% and 19% of total income.

Studies reveal new genetic roots of atrial fibrillation
Researchers double the number of genetic factors associated with this common arrhythmia, highlighting biological pathways that could be targeted by new medicines.

Atrial fibrillation is far more heritable than generally perceived. Two new reports identify many more linked genomic variants and a refined polygenic risk score

Getting your real-time heart rhythm monitored for 10 days now requires an ECG technician to review and notify your doctor of a critical arrhythmia. A new study showed A.I. did better than technicians (98.6% vs 80.3%) for identifying these abnormalities

A study in Nature Aging finds that structural economic inequality is linked to reduced brain volume and connectivity in middle-aged and older adults across the Americas, more so in Alzheimer’s disease than in frontotemporal dementia. https://go.nature.com/4fRE2t6 🔒

🚨🚨🚨 Excited to share our latest work. Combining biomarker panels with machine learning enhances risk prediction and provides deeper biological insights in atrial fibrillation patients. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1... @medrxivpreprint.bsky.social @unibas.ch
Biomarker panels for improved risk prediction and enhanced biological insights in patients with atrial fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with an increased risk of adverse cardiovascular events, but the underlying biological mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Here we evaluated a panel of 12...
