in the most peculiar way. Deaths—eight-foot-tall, silver-gray creatures—

is chosen for a departure, telling them to wrap up their lives and do the
things they always wanted to do before they have to “depart.” When
sixteen-year-old Gabriela receives her notice, she is, of course devastated.
Will she kiss her crush Sylvester before it’s too late? YA, fantasy, paranormal

Research led by the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital – Washington University Pediatric Cancer Genome Project has identified a fusion gene responsible for almost 30 percent of a rare subtype of childhood leukemia with an extremely poor prognosis.
The finding offers the first evidence of a mistake that gives rise to a significant percentage of acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (AMKL) cases in children. AMKL accounts for about 10 percent of pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The discovery paves the way for desperately needed treatment advances.

Jerome Bettis and Robin Miller are teaming up with Sanofi US to raise awareness of life-threatening allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) and spread the word that Auvi-Q™ (epinephrine injection, USP) is now available by prescription in pharmacies nationwide.
