Induced abortion and breast cancer: more scientific data are needed.

Despite intense study, the causes of breast cancer remain elusive (7). Reproductive factors are clearly of importance, but the nature of their influence on risk is complex and under continuous reassessment. It has been difficult to disentangle their effects because they are highly correlated and imperfect surrogates for unidentified underlying causal factors and because they are weakly related ...

First Language Use in English Language Institutes: Are Teachers Free to Alternate between L1 and L2 as Means of Instruction?

Hence, specialization is inevitable not only in research; it was a prerequisite for the de...
