MURRIETA, CA, April 05, 2011 (Press-News.org) OUTER DARKNESS is an award-winning supernatural suspense thriller that takes place in the Westlake Village area of Southern California in the weeks leading up to Halloween. The events that take place in this quiet, upscale suburban town would shock it's residents to the core, if they knew the unseemly details of what was going on just behind their backs.
It is a chilling tale of unseen supernatural warfare, compounded by the very real and undeserved physical threat inflicted upon an everyday family by a vicious satanic crime cult. Jim DiMario and his family accidentally step hip-deep into trouble by running afoul of the Temple of Anubis - will they be able to get out alive?
Story Synopsis:
He's got a secret that others are dying to keep - sometimes violently.
To the outside world, he seems like a fine, godly associate pastor serving at a well-established suburban church. But unknown to the senior pastor and the community, the god he really serves is the lord of evil - Satan.
A man wearing the perfect disguise, Pete LeTourneu is in a position to cause unimaginable damage to people's lives, and he's more than willing to do it to meet his own ambitious goals. Will it be too late to stop him once the townspeople become aware of his diabolical plot?
When LeTourneu sets out to destroy the lives of an innocent family for his own perverse reasons, Jim DiMario finds that he is two steps behind the wicked plan of this deceiver. With his teenage daughter kidnapped by unknown abductors, Jim faces an all-or-nothing gamble to save her life - and nothing is off-limits.
What do reviewers say about OUTER DARKNESS?
A Gripping Thriller - Five Stars!
... "Outer Darkness is a gripping thriller, highly recommended for fans who love to be on the edge of their seat with a 'page turner' of a truly good book."
Michael J. Carson, Midwest Book Review
Bart Brevik creates compelling characters in this story - some whom we can't help but like, and some whom we like to hate. The complex plot of OUTER DARKNESS is like several strands of silk woven together to make a strong rope; you don't see how it all comes together until the stunning climax. An outstanding read!

Extreme weight gain raises risk for recurrence among breast cancer survivors
2011-04-06
ORLANDO, Fla. — Breast cancer survivors who experience extreme weight gain have an increased risk of death after breast cancer diagnosis. Moderate weight gain did not affect breast cancer outcomes. These study results were presented at the AACR 102nd Annual Meeting 2011, held here April 2-6.
The investigation, which looked at the association of post-diagnosis weight gain and breast cancer outcomes, was conducted by researchers at Kaiser Permanente in Northern California. Data for the study came from the After Breast Cancer (ABC) Pooling Project, which includes 18,336 ...

Fox Chase researchers show vitamin A derivative can inhibit early forms of breast cancer
2011-04-06
ORLANDO, FL (April 5, 2011) – A nutrient found in carrots and sweet potatoes may prove key to fighting breast cancer at early stages, according to a new study by researchers at Fox Chase Cancer Center. Sandra Fernandez, PhD, an assistant research professor at Fox Chase, will present the findings at the AACR 102nd Annual Meeting 2011 on Tuesday, April 5.
Retinoic acid, a derivative of vitamin A, could be a promising cancer therapy because it affects cell growth, proliferation, and survival. Although it is being tested in a number of clinical trials, so far its success ...
Fox Chase scientists report interplay between cancer and aging in mice
2011-04-06
ORLANDO, FL (April 5, 2011) – Cancer risk increases with age, and scientists have long perceived a possible evolutionary tradeoff between longer lifespan and greater risk of cancer. Now, researchers at Fox Chase Cancer Center find direct evidence for that tradeoff in new data showing that expression of a key tumor suppressor protein induces premature aging in mice.
Greg H. Enders, MD, PhD, associate professor in the Epigenetics and Progenitor Cell Program at Fox Chase, will present the results at the AACR 102nd Annual Meeting 2011 on Tuesday, April 5.

Genomic signature in post-menopausal women may explain why pregnancy reduces breast cancer risk
2011-04-06
ORLANDO, FL (April 5, 2011) – Women who have children, particularly early in life, have a lower lifetime risk of breast cancer compared with women who do not. Now, Fox Chase Cancer Center researchers have identified a gene expression pattern in breast tissue that differs between post-menopausal women who had children and post-menopausal women who did not. The results will help scientists understand why pregnancy reduces breast cancer risk and may help them develop chemopreventive strategies that can provide similar protection for women who did not have children.

Fox Chase researchers develop a screen for identifying new anticancer drug targets
2011-04-06
ORLANDO, FL (April 5, 2011) –Tumor suppressor genes normally control the growth of cells, but cancer can spring up when these genes are silenced by certain chemical reactions that modify chromosomes. Among the most common culprits responsible for inactivating these genes are histone deacetylases, a class of enzymes that remove acetyl groups from DNA-scaffolding proteins, and DNA methyltransferases, a family of enzymes that add methyl groups to DNA.
Drugs that counteract these enzymes, and thus reactivate tumor suppressor genes, are promising cancer therapies. For example, ...
Emergency department CT exams of children have increased substantially
2011-04-06
OAK BROOK, Ill. – Computed tomography examinations of children in hospital emergency departments increased substantially from 1995 to 2008, according to a new study published online and in the June print edition of Radiology. Researchers said the findings underscore the need for collaboration among medical professionals to ensure that pediatric CT is appropriately ordered, performed and interpreted.
"We need to think creatively about how to partner with each other, with ordering clinicians and with CT manufacturers to ensure that all children are scanned only when it ...
