Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Fourteen-year-old Melanie Williams expects her first year of high school to be complicated. Between cross-country, new friendships, and her growing feelings for senior runner Tim O'Connor, she has enough to worry about.Then strange reports begin appearing across the country.Hospitals are discovering patients with blood types that don't match anything in their databases-and some of the samples have an unexplained green tint. Even more disturbing, people connected to the mysterious blood are beginning to disappear.As Melanie becomes drawn deeper into the mystery, she starts noticing things about the people closest to her that don't quite add up. Tim seems to be hiding something. Her friend Jackie knows more than she is willing to admit. And the answers may be connected to a secret far bigger than anything Melanie could have imagined.Hidden within our solar system are five planets humans have never discovered. On one of them, a dying world called Threa has been studying Earth for decades. Its scientists have created human forms from Earth DNA and quietly sent them here to live among us.They are called Arrivals.And some of them have been here much longer than anyone realizes.Blending science fiction, mystery, friendship, and first love, Secrets from the Sky is the first book in The Youngest Arrivals series-a story about discovering where you come from, questioning what you've been told, and deciding for yourself where you truly belong. When mysterious blood samples and unexplained disappearances surface, fourteen-year-old Melanie discovers a secret hidden within our solar system-and learns that some of the people closest to her may not be from Earth.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This astute volume brings together the latest expert research on adamantinomatous craniopharyngiomas (ACPs). ACPs are histologically benign but clinically aggressive tumors exhibiting a high propensity for local invasion into the hypothalamus, optic and vascular structures. These tumors, as well as the current treatments, may result in pan-hypopituitarism, diabetes insipidus, morbid obesity followed by type II diabetes mellitus, blindness, as well as serious behavioral and psychosocial impairments. Exploring in detail advances in both the understanding of tumor biology as well as clinical advances in patient management are explored in detail, this book will also look towards potential new treatment approaches.Basic Research and Clinical Aspects of Adamantinomatous Craniopharyngiomais the first book compiling all current research on ACPs. Mouse and human studies have unequivocally demonstrated that mutations in CTNNB1 encoding -catenin underliethe etiology of the majority, if not all ACP tumors. Genetic studies in mice have shown that ACPs are tumors of the pituitary gland and not of the hypothalamus as previously thought, and are derived from Rathke's pouch precursors. In addition, a role for tissue-specific adult pituitary stem cells has been revealed as causative of ACP. Together, these studies have provided novel insights into the molecular and cellular etiology as well as the pathogenesis of human ACP. Finally, this volume covers new treatment approaches that have been shown to be effective both in reducing ACP burden as well as reducing the morbidity associated with therapy.…
