This may include the removal of the stomach or bladder, a permanent colostomy bag, radiation that makes patients infertile and last lasting from chemotherapy.So a research group at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, using a drug of the GSK pharmaceutical company, has tried something different.The researchers started with a group of 103 people. The participants in the study were between 2-3 percent of patients with cancer with tumors who should respond to immunotherapy, a drug that exceeds the barriers that prevent the immune system from attacking tumors.But in clinical studies, immunotherapy should not replace st...

Zurab K. TSereteli, a Georgian-Russian artist whose towering monuments and heroic statues were pleased to the Kremlin authorities, but aroused contempt from Moscow to New Jersey, died on Tuesday in his home outside Moscow. He was 91 years old.His death was announced by Sergei Shagulashvili, his assistant. President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia sent a note of condolences to the family of Mr. Tsereteli, calling him "an exceptional representative of multinational Russian culture".An admirer of Mr. Putin, Mr. Tsereteli, revealed his imposing bronze statue in 2004, dressed in a tunic of Judo Law. (The work was so scarcely received, however, that he remained with Mr. Tsereteli in his gallery.)The exuberant work of TSereteli has largely defined the post-Soviet Russian aesthetic.

Insulin, cardiac treatments and antibiotics have flowed freely on many boundaries for decades, free from the rates in an attempt to make medicine accessible. But this could soon change.For months, President Trump has promised to impose higher rates to pharmaceutical products as part of his plan to rearrange the global trading system and report the key manufacturing industries in the United States. This month, he said that the pharmaceutical rates could arrive in the "not too distant future".If they did, the move would have serious - and wildly uncertain consequences - for drugs made in the European Union.Pharmaceutical products and chemicals are export n. 1 of the blockage in America. Among these are the successful ozemics of weight loss, cancer treatments, cardiovascular drugs and flu vac...

The Palestinian leaders in the western canca occupied by Israel met this week for the first gathering of its kind for years. Their mission: allow Mahmoud Abbas, the aging of the president of the Palestinian authority, to appoint a long -standing loyalist to a senior position just coined. Saturday evening, Mr. Abbas formally called Hussein Al-Sheikh, a narrow confidant, as his deputy.

The word derives from the Latin "with the key" and refe...
