At present, muscle composition is determined via invasive procedures such as muscle biopsies, which involve extracting tissue samples from the body. These methods are expensive and time-consuming, making them unsuitable for widespread application.

In contrast, the new method seeks to establish differences in muscle composition by assessing the electrical signals received from the skin surface. This is billed as a better and cheaper option.

Understanding Menorrhagia

It's universal. It's monthly. Most of the time, it makes you feel like you may puke your guts out and on rare occasions, it calls for a truce. But unlike the white flag of truce, this visitor is blood red—quite literally. That time of the month, Code Red, menstruation, or simply, a period.
