Hardback. Condizione: New. Traditional African narrative forms combined with European modernism.   The stories comprising The Healer, Marek Vadas's first collection, which was originally published in 2006, are steeped in the culture, rituals, and traditions of Africa, blurring the boundaries between dream and reality and peopled with characters whose gender, shape, skin color or even memories may change at a stroke. Nevertheless, Vadas refuses to exoticize this world, and many of the stories, told in pared-down language, blend mythical elements with realistic depictions of harsh living conditions, economic deprivation, and colonial oppression. The narratives unfold from the perspective of their protagonists-children (often orphaned), and men struggling to make ends meet and trying in vain to resist the allure of strong women endowed with magic powers. As a Slovak writer focusing on the African continent, Vadas is a rare voice that helps to build bridges between very different cultures, and now his writing is introduced to the global anglophone readership.…

Reviews the biochemistry, molecular biology, and biology of mammalian phospholipase A2 (PLA2). It covers molecular approaches to investigate PLA2 structure and function, inhibitor design, and the regulation of sPLA2 and cPLA2 in cellular systems. The second section examines the major disease states where PLA2 has been implicated. With contributions from experts in the field and over 60 illustrations, it gives readers an overall sense of the clinical relevance of the molecular approaches to study PLA2 in relation to the disease entities that may be associated with altered PLA2 levels and activity.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - In July 1994, the Canadian Inflammation Society in Toronto hosted a symposium entitled 'Novel molecular approaches to anti-inflammatory therapy' as a satellite of the xnth International Congress of Pharmacology. For several reasons the above topic was singled out and separated from the general Congress. Major advances have recently been made in the understanding of inflammatory mechanisms. These advances serve as the basis for a new generation of therapeutic agents which may potentially alter our approach to inflammatory processes and infectious diseases. The Satellite Symposium focused on recent advances in diversified fields including arachidonate metabolites, actions of cytokines, chemokines, cellular adhesion molecules and novel molecular approaches in the therapy of inflammation. Scholarly addresses were presented by eminent experts in their respective fields. In this book are included 17 papers which describe in detail novel approaches to the study of inflammation. We hope that this book will serve not only as a summary of present knowledge, but will stimulate both scientists and clinicians to continue their efforts to battle inflammatory diseases. W.
