AIDS virus infections worldwide have risen 10 percent over the past year, showing a disturbing lack of progress in prevention, the U.N. AIDS Program in Geneva said in a report issued Monday. The document, released as part of World AIDS Day on Dec. 1, also reported that the spread is largest among young people and more women are becoming infected. Overall, the number of people infected with HIV, the AIDS virus, rose by 5.8 million, to 33.4 million from 27.6 million

For the first time scientists have calculated the devastating toll of cigarette smoking in China and declared the country to be on the verge of a calamitous epidemic of smoking-related deaths that may well kill one in three Chinese men. 'There is an unprecedented epidemic of smoking deaths,' Dr. Chen Zhengming, a Chinese researcher now based at Oxford University, told a news conference last week in Beijing. 'And China is still in the early stages of the epidemic.' In two papers that were to be published Saturday in the British Medical Journal, researchers from China, Britain and the United States draw the outlines of China' emerging epidemic with countless statistics

BEIJING - For the first time, scientists have calculated the devastating toll of cigarette smoking in China and declared the country to be on the verge of a calamitous epidemic of smoking- related deaths that may kill one in three Chinese men.

'And China is still in the early stages of the epidemic.'

For the first time, scientists have calculated the devastating toll of cigarette smoking in China and declared the country to be on the verge of a calamitous epidemic of smoking-related disease that could ultimately result in the deaths of 1 in 3 Chinese men. ''There is an unprecedented epidemic of smoking deaths,'' Dr. Chen Zhengming, a Chinese researcher now based at Oxford University, told a news conference today in Beijing. ''And China is still in the early stages of the epidemic.'' For example: In China, middle-aged smokers are three times more likely to get lung cancer than nonsmokers. They are twice as likely to die of tuberculosis. Today, more than 12 percent of deaths among men are related to smoking and that proportion is increasing

For the first time, scientists have calculated the devastating toll of cigarette smoking in China and declared the country to be on the verge of a calamitous epidemic of smoking-related deaths that may well kill one in three Chinese men. In a country where 70 percent of men smoke, there are now 2,000 smoking-related deaths a day, the researchers said. 'There is an unprecedented epidemic of smoking deaths,' Dr. Chen Zhengming, a Chinese researcher now based at Oxford University, told a news conference yesterday in Beijing. 'And China is still in the early stages of the epidemic.'

For the first time scientists have calculated the devastating toll of cigarette smoking in China and declared the country to be on the verge of a calamitous epidemic of smoking-related deaths that may well kill one in three Chinese men. In a country where 70 percent of men smoke, there are now 2,000 smoking-related deaths a day, the researchers said. That number will increase to 8,000 a day by the middle of the next century unless public health measures are taken. 'There is an unprecedented epidemic of smoking deaths,' Dr. Chen Zhengming, a Chinese researcher now based at Oxford University, told a press conference Thursday in Beijing. 'And China is still in the early stages of the epidemic.'

In a country where 70 percent of men smoke, there are now 2,000 smoking-related deaths a day, the researchers said. That is projected to increase to 8,000 a day by the middle of the next century unless public health measures are taken.

Much of Mr. [Clint Hallam]'s early success is due to the intense exercise program prescribed for the muscles of his handless right arm in the year preceding the operation. The muscles of both forearms were equally strong when the transplant was performed at Edouard Herriot Hospital in Lyons on Sept. 23, and remain strong with twice-a-day physical therapy, Dr. [Earl Owen] said
