MANILA, Philippines — Senator Risa Hontiveros is unhappy about the Sugar Regulatory Administration's (SRA) plan to sell confiscated smuggled sugar at Kadiwa stores. For the opposition legislator, it seemed inappropriate to profit from goods that were obtained through illegal means. She suggested it would be better to give the confiscated sugar for free to Filipinos in need and victims of calamities through the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). The SRA plans to sell at least 4,000 metric tons of smuggled sugar seized by authorities in Kadiwa stores for around P70 a kilo.

Stark inequalities in diagnosis and treatment of four of the most common heart conditions in the UK have been revealed in new research. The research, published today in The Lancet Regional Health – Europe , shows that women are less likely than men to undergo coronary angiograms, a crucial procedure to look inside their heart's arteries, after a heart attack, and are less likely to be prescribed preventative treatments that can help ward off future heart attacks. It also highlights an estimated 500 potentially avoidable deaths in the UK each year among patients waiting for treatment for aortic stenosis, a narrowing of the heart's aortic valve which restricts blood flow around the body.

One of Ayala Land Inc.'s flagship shopping malls—and its oldest—will be torn down by the first half of next year to make way for a new property development, a ranking official of the property developer confirmed to Biz Buzz on Tuesday. We are, of course, talking about Greenbelt 1 on the corner of Paseo de Roxas and Legazpi Street in Makati City, which has been an icon and landmark in the area since it opened its doors to the public in 1988. Back then, it was an avant garde shopping mall with a quarter of a million square meters of leasable space in a low-rise setup.

(MEMPHIS, Tenn. – October 02, 2023) The population of childhood cancer survivors in the U.S. is increasing, with an overall childhood cancer survival rate greater than 85% five years after diagnosis. However, survivors can still be at increased risk of various health conditions, including second cancers. Using data from the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (CCSS) and the St. Jude Lifetime Cohort Study (St. Jude Life), scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have identified a genetic explanation for why a small proportion of survivors are more likely to develop second cancers and why they may be more severe or deadly.
