Denni, a golden retriever with a sweet face, sits and looks up at the camera with a smile. she has a passenger clinging to her back. a baby koala. the joey's eyes peak over the top of Denni's head.

Denni is standing and looking off to the left of the frame. the baby koala on her back looks at the camera.

a super zoomed photo of the baby koala and their mom high up in a tree. the adult koala holds onto her joey and looks down at the camera with what we would like to think is appreciation for caring for her baby.

This is Denni. She took an unexpected babysitting shift when she found a baby koala in her yard. She cheerfully delivered the joey to her human, who put them back in the tree to be reunited with their mom. 14/10 (FB: Steve Lamplough)

📈 Once niche, health economics is now central to the field.

A new study shows its share in top journals tripled since the 1990s—driven not by conformity, but by innovative, high-quality research.

Health is shaping the future of economics.

Emory doctors use AI transcription technology to combat burnout from documentation burden Modern doctors spend a lot of time they could be working with patients taking notes. A new AI technology could change that.

AI-powered ambient listening is helping reduce clinician burnout and improve well-being. In this CBS News Atlanta segment, Emory Healthcare's Reema Dbouk demonstrates how the technology allows doctors to be more present with their patients. www.cbsnews.com/atlanta/news...

A JAMA article titled "Geroscience: A Translational Review," published August 7, 2025, discusses geroscience as therapies to prevent age-related diseases like stroke and cancer. Experiments suggest interventions can delay aging, but human benefits are unclear.

📈 As the US population ages, the incidence of #stroke, #heartfailure, #dementia, and other age-related health issues is expected to increase.

Learn more about geroscience interventions designed to slow #aging and improve health outcomes in this Review.

🏥 Implication:
We need to address both under-recommendation and non-receipt/refusal. Use structured geriatric assessment & decision aids—don’t let chronological age alone guide treatment.

📊 In SEER data (N=2,236):
Women 65+ who received recommended treatment (surgery or radiation) had substantially better survival than those who didn’t.
Example: Surgery → 91% 5-yr survival vs 52% if not done despite recommendation.
