That’s when Allie, who years earlier had opted into a bone marrow registry, got the call:Would she help save a dying stranger? Acute myeloid leukemia – a rare, fast-growing blood and bone marrow cancer originating from abnormal blood stem cells – tends to affect older adults, according to Yale Medicine. A doctor after one chemotherapy treatment told David he had a 5% chance of survival because his type of this cancer had a genetic mutation “that was really, really bad,” David recounted. Nowadays, most transplants use stem cells from donor blood – rather than bone marrow – in a much less complicated process, according to the Cleveland Clinic. “You’re a little sore, you’re a little tired, but you get to go home that night, and it’s really, really rewarding,” she recalled.

CNN —As Christmas approaches and an expected record number of people across the country set off on their journeys, they may encounter travel trouble as winter storms threaten delays. More than 119 million people are expected to travel at least 50 miles from their homes between Saturday and New Year’s Day, AAA projects, which would make it the busiest year-end holiday travel season on record. With that headache staved off, all eyes are on Mother Nature as she prepares to deliver a dose of winter weather that could impact travel in parts of the country. The storm will impact major metropolitan areas in the Northeast through Saturday, the National Weather Service says. Chicago O’Hare International Airport was put under ground stop for 45 minutes early Friday morning because of the dangerous weather conditions.

Six stocks in the S & P 500 have been inversely correlated to Nvidia's share price moves over the past month, according to analysis by CNBC Pro. It comes as Nvidia fell into correction territory this week, meaning it's fallen over 10% from its closing high of $148.88 reached last month. CNBC Pro screened for stocks in the S & P 500 that have moved in the opposite direction to the U.S. chip giant over the past month. A correlation of 0 would indicate no statistical link between Nvidia's stock and the share price of the company. For instance, over the past month, Kraft Heinz shares have also fallen 0.6%, alongside Nvidia's decline over the same period.

The union representing thousands of federal workers said it would fight any effort by President-elect Donald Trump to block a Biden administration agreement allowing thousands of federal workers to continue with remote work. Trump, who spoke to reporters at his Mar-a-Lago resort, called the deal "very terrible," and said it's interfering with his plans for how to handle the federal workforce, which includes ending remote work. "Telework and remote work are tools that have helped the federal government increase productivity and efficiency, maintain continuity of operations, and increase disaster preparedness," he added. Ramaswamy told Tucker Carlson after Trump's election victory that he believed ending remote work would lead to mass resignations. She told reporters last month that more federal workers going back to work in the city would bring “vibrancy back to our town.”

And more increases appear to be coming down the pike for the pulped-paper-packed protein: Wholesale prices for chicken eggs soared by nearly 55% last month, and wholesale food prices rose by 3.1% (their highest monthly increase in two years). “Overall grocery price inflation is relatively tame; it’s essentially in line with where it was before the pandemic … nothing alarming,” said Gregory Daco, EY Parthenon’s chief economist. Through November, grocery prices were up 1.6% from the year before, according to the latest CPI report. That breakneck pace resulted in grocery prices being 27% higher now than they were in February 2020, before the onset of the pandemic in the US. “That’s the difficult part — you’re unlikely to see food prices fall significantly and revert to 2019 levels,” Daco said.

After giving birth to Gabriel, family lore has it that she handed him to the nurses and declared she had fulfilled her role as a woman.

Omnicom and Interpublic Group plan a $13.25 billion merger that would create the world's largest ad-agency company. Industry insiders say the deal reflects an ad sector under threat from Big Tech and AI. Being big matters as the industry wrestles with disruption from the might of Big Tech players and the advent of artificial intelligence. The $13.25 billion all-stock deal would merge Omnicom's creative and media-buying agencies, such as BBDO and Omnicom Media Group, with IPG's McCann Worldgroup and Mediabrands. The research firm Forrester said last year that the rise of automation could lead to the loss of 33,000 jobs within ad agencies by 2030.

Interviews with more than a dozen individuals who worked with Patel shed new light on his path to power. After joining the White House as a member of the National Security Council, Patel became known as an aggressive colleague, sources say, often clashing with others. “The (FBI) director leads an agency that’s going after Russian and Chinese spies, mobsters, kidnappers,” one source familiar with the transition’s discussions about the FBI job told CNN. Earl Matthews, a former Trump official who worked with Patel in the White House, said he brings a unique resume to the job. ‘Why is Kash here?’By 2019, after Republicans lost their House majority, Nunes worked to make good on his promise to help Patel get to the White House.
