...treating patients in whom the infection would have resolved itself, a particularly important factor to consider when attempting to get cervical cancer prevention programs off the ground in the developing world and among lower-income women, Sankaranarayanan says. Indeed, the current standard in HPV tests, the Hybrid Capture II, which was used for this study, is already too costly for wide-scale application, running as much as $30 per test. Realistically, in order to be used on a grand scale, tests would have to cost about $1 each, Sankaranarayanan estimates...
...hope on the horizon.

Researchers say that when careHPV becomes available - Sankaranarayanan anticipates it will be on the market within two years - it will cost a fraction of the price of the Hybrid Capture II...
...know how it's behaving now: badly. Or, as a diplomat in Seoul puts it, throwing an "intercontinental ballistic hissy fit."

Although the austere D.D.R. officials resented the building's opulence, they couldn't afford its demolition and instead boarded over its mosaic stone floors and ornate molding, inadvertently preserving them for today's luxury traveler...
...offices where socialist planners met to draft the country's economic policies. Today those rooms boast marble bathrooms, fur throws, 16-ft. (5 m) high ceilings and sweeping views of the Bebelplatz and Humboldt University. There's more behind the luxurious surface: bullets and grenade fragments from World War II remain embedded in the suites' original wood paneling. For more information, visit www.hotelderome.com...
