Researchers are laying the groundwork for a new equation that could mathematically quantify a habitat’s potential for hosting life, in a similar way to how the Drake equation estimates the number of intelligent extraterrestrial civilizations in the Milky Way.

Body Mass Index, or BMI, is an index used to determine healthy body weight. But, calculating BMI involves a complex formula, and then charts or online calculators are needed to convert the BMI information to a “healthy weight range.” Researchers have now found a much simpler way of calculating a “Maximum Weight Limit,” which closely [...]

Researchers are reporting promising results from two new blood tests that can aid in the early identification of patients with gastrointestinal cancers. The tests will make GI cancer detection simpler, cost-effective, and more acceptable to patients than current methods, the researchers say.
