  • The Changing Face of Cervical Cancer in China, A 10-year Study by Tongji Medical College

    Durham, NC (PRWEB) September 24, 2013, –Over the last few decades, China, like the majority of the world, has seen a steady decrease in deaths from cervical cancer, due in large part to screening efforts and improved treatment. However, the disease still poses a significant threat to women, as it remains the third most common and among the most deadly cancers in women worldwide, with a third of new cases occurring in China. Moreover, the incidence of the disease has increased among young women. These trends signal the need for a large-scale, thorough assessment of the cervical cancer landscape in China – a database that did not exist until recently.

  • House Passed Spending Bill That Will Likely Shut down Government

    By David Li, bostonese.com

    Washington, Sept. 30, 2013, –In a 15-minute vote, U.S. House of Representatives voted 228 to 201 to pass a spending bill three and half hours before the new fiscal year begins at midnight. The irony of passing this bill is that it makes the likelihood of a government shutdown unavoidable, and shows the failure of the reported moderate Republican revolt. Twelve Republicans, including Michele Bachmanm and Peter King, and nine Democrats voted against party lines.
