The UN program on HIV/AIDS, UNAIDS, says epidemics in the region appear stable. From 2001 to 2009 infection rates in I

20、ndia, Nepal and Thailand fell by more than 25 percent, while rates in Bangladesh and the Philippines increased by more than 25 percent. One challenge is the lack of access to often expensive anti-retroviral treatments. The regional director for the UN Childrens Fund in East Asia and the Pacific, Anu

21、pama Rao Singh, says only 30 percent of adults and 44 percent of children who need the treatments are able to get them. Singh says Asian heads of state need to better support HIV/AIDS programs.

26、e battle against malaria continues to challenge doctors, scientists, and public health officials. Now, a team of British and American scientists have developed a novel and promising approach to malaria control. Malaria kills about a million victims each year, mostly children in Africa, and almost ha

27、lf the worlds population is at risk. The malaria parasite is carried from victim to victim by mosquitoes, which are increasingly developing resistance to the insecticides used to kill them. As an alternative to chemicals, University of Maryland professor Raymond St. Leger and his colleagues have bee

28、n working on a genetically-engineered fungus to control malaria-carrying mosquitoes. One possibility they considered was using the fungus to kill the mosquito, the way insecticides do. The result is a fungus that kills the parasite directly. And, the genetic modification of the fungus could be adjus

29、ted to counter resistance in the malaria parasite as it evolves. It may be a couple of years before this modified fungus is approved for use. But it wouldn t be the first fungus based product on the market. A similar modified fungus is already in use against locusts in Africa, Australia and China, a

Its the first time the gathering will be held in the United States since 1990 and preparations are already underway. Desp

31、ite the massive US financial, medical and scientific contributions to the fight against HIV/AIDS, a major issue blocked the conference from being held here. That was a law that prohibited HIV infected people from traveling to the United States. In was passed in 1987 in the early days of the HIV/AIDS

32、 epidemic. Efforts to lift the ban began during President George W. Bushs second administration. It was finally repealed in January 2010 under President Obama. To International AIDS Society President and conference co-chai, Dr. Elly Katabira, thats very good news. Katabira has visited Washington, D.

33、 C. to meet with city officials about the 19th International AIDS Conference, also known as AIDS 2012.

35、ntific studies to work. But studies are one thing do these treatments work as well in real-world clinics and hospitals? A new study in Sweden found that they do. Researchers at Karolinska Hospital in Stockholm analyzed a government registry of more than 60,000 patients with a particular type of very

36、 serious heart attack. These patients were treated between 1996 and 2007, a time of increasing sophistication in caring for heart attack victims. Lead author Tomas Jernberg says studies began showing benefit from simple things like taking aspirin to advanced, high-tech therapies like bypass surgery.

37、 So did all these new evidence-based strategies work? Jernberg says the answer became clear as hospitals gradually adopted proven therapies. One measure of mortality is the 30-day death rate, the percentage of patients who died in the first month after having these very serious heart attacks. Althou

38、gh use of the various evidence-based treatments increased over the 12-year span in this study, it never reached 100 percent because not all treatments are appropriate for every patients individual situation. There was also a lot of variation in the speed at which hospitals began using many of the ne

39、wer therapies, and the authors suggest that adopting evidenced-based treatments faster could help improve patient outcomes sooner. 9 【正确答案】 C 【知识模块】 健康类 10 【正确答案】 B 【知识模块】 健康类 11 【听力原文】 Everyday, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), an estimated 1,000 women die during complications with

41、rm and remains stable at room temperature, which makes it practical in hotter climates. Misoprostol trials have been conducted in developing countries such as Nepal, Afghanistan, Nigeria and Senegal to help women without access to proper healthcare facilities or trained staff. Doctor Bocaf Daff is i

42、n charge of the reproductive health division at the Ministry of Health and Prevention in Senegal. He has been leading a USAID-funded research project on misoprostol since 2008. They have tested its use after the delivery of more than 300 babies at community health clinics in two regions in Senegal.

43、Dr. Daff says patients were very willing to take part in the study, and in 80 85% of all cases the tests were successful. But to be sure their findings are consistent, they need to expand to a larger scale and ensure that all staff is skilled in how to follow the procedures accurately. 11 【正确答案】 A 【

Yellow fever is a deadly disease that occurs in much of South America and sub-Saharan Africa. A vaccine develope

45、d in the 1930s provides excellent protection, both for those living in affected areas and those traveling there. Its made using a live but weakened form of the yellow fever virus. And that can lead to very serious side effects, says Thomas Monath of the US biotech firm, Xcellerex. Monath is the lead

46、 author of a research paper describing the latest clinical trials of a new yellow-fever shot, developed to avoid even those very rare fatal complications. Instead of the live virus used in the current vaccine, the virus in the new vaccine is killed. So the researchers found that the new vaccine is s

47、afer it produced limited, relatively mild side effects while it stimulated the body s immune response. If final regulatory approval is granted, the new vaccine could be used both in countries where yellow fever is endemic, as well as for travelers visiting those areas. Pharmaceutical pricing is alwa

48、ys hard to predict, but Monath says the new vaccine is likely to cost somewhat more than the current vaccine because it will be more expensive to make and because its a better vaccine. 13 【正确答案】 C 【知识模块】 健康类 14 【正确答案】 A 【知识模块】 健康类 15 【听力原文】 More than a million young children die each year from diarr

49、hea, even though theres no secret about how to prevent or treat it. Now, public health experts report that the vast majority of those deaths could be prevented using currently available strategies. The microbes that cause diarrheal disease spread through contaminated food and water, or through poor hygiene and sanitation. Interventions from water and sewage systems to antibiotics and oral rehydration therapy have brought the death toll down from about 4. 5 million children a year in the early 1980s to about 1.3 million now.
