This collection of papers highlights, alongside major changes transformations that affected entire Mediterranean region, longer-term processes developments Africa between AD 500 1000. In this time frame, region is shaped by Vandal, Byzantine Arab conquest...

Combining intracellular electrophysiology and multi-photon calcium imaging in vivo, we studied the relationship between calcium signals (sampled at 500-750 Hz) and spike output in principal neurons in the locust antennal lobe. Our goal was to determine whether the firing rate of individual neurons can be estimated in vivo with calcium imaging and, if so, to measure directly the accuracy and res...

The present study was to investigate the dynamics of eosinophil in peripheral blood of patients with cutaneous gnathostomiasis before and after worm removal. The total of 28 proven cases of cutaneous gnathostomiasis treated by albendazole were included in the present study. The absolute eosinophil count (AEC) was higher than 500/ul during infestation in almost all the patients, the positive rat...
