The blog, a collaboration among all teachers in the faculty, is dedicated to answering students’ admission enquiries without using academic jargon. Students who wonder about the differences between computer science and computer engineering and what exactly is information engineering will find the answers on the blog. ‘Many students choose to post their questions on popular forums, yet the responses often convey mixed messages with little insight. An official blog provides a sustainable and organized com- munication channel between students and our faculty. We hope that students who are interested in engineering would become well-informed of their choices after visiting our blog,’ said Prof. Wong Kam-Fai, associate dean of the faculty. Students with questions can simply send an email with their names to blogger@erg.cuhk.edu.hk. Once the professors receive the questions, they will post the answers on the blog, with the possibility of following up by emails. 教授寫網誌 指導高考生選科 New Blog for Engineering Admission Enquiries 肝 癌是本港男性 第二號癌症殺 手，亦為女性第四號 癌症殺手。超過八成 的肝癌都是由乙型肝 炎病毒引起的。 大腸癌是本港第二大 常見癌症。根據醫院 管理局的數字，二零 零四年本港共有三千 六百宗大腸癌新症， 一千五百名病人因此 病而死亡。 胃酸反流病是近年發 病率急劇上升的上消 化道疾病，以一萬人 來計算，其發病率已 由二點三人上升至五點八人。此病會破壞食道，引起 食道炎，嚴重的更會導致食道收窄及引起食道細胞 突變。 總括而言，本港近年愈來愈多人面對腸胃肝病的威脅， 因此增加公眾對腸胃肝病的認知以及教育其防治方法 是當前急務。醫學院及有線電視財經資訊台聯合製作 健康節目《至FIT男女》，從多方面介紹腸胃肝病的新 發展。節目共分十一集，於四月二十二日起，逢星期日 早上十時至十一時及晚上九時至十時播映。該節目由黃 韻妍小姐擔任主持，醫學院內科及藥物治療學系三位教 授：陳力元教授、梁偉強教授及胡志遠教授會擔任客席 嘉賓主持。 C UHK is collaborating with CABLE TV to launch a new 11-episode health programme, which covers a wide spectrum of liver and gastro- intestinal diseases.

Colorectal cancer is currently the second most common cancer in Hong Kong and it is estimated that 15-20% of patients with colorectal cancer may have similar cancer in the family. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common digestive disease which can cause damage of the esophagus and narrowing or abnormal cell changes of the esophagus, and its incidence is on the rise. Researchers at the CUHK Faculty of Medicine have found that the number of patients suffering from liver or gastro-intestinal diseases are on the rise. It is therefore crucial to educate the public about these diseases and equip them with some understanding about their treatment and prevention. commencement of the Memorandum of Under- standing on Cooperation on Research and Teaching in Computer-aided Translation.
