...people living with MDS in the U.S., 75% have a lower-risk diagnosis, providing a much less ominous prognosis. Research indicates that lower-risk MDS patients under age 70 survive, on average, four to nine years after diagnosis, meaning that some MDS patients live much longer. Richard M. Stone, Mikkael A.

Tymoshenko has presented a clearer agenda toward a European future and says Yanukovych will take the country back to the "Stone Age," but critics question whether she can push through unpopular but sorely needed reforms...
