.... believes both of the extreme positions on the function and meaning of dreams to be partly right and partly wrong. Its proponents argue that dreams may have both physiological and psychological determinants, and therefore can be either meaningful or meaningless, varying greatly in terms of psychological significance.

.... African countries since then. The first major outbreak of the ebola virus was in 1976, in Zaire and in Sudan. "Over 500 cases were reported, with mortality rates of 88% in Zaire and 53% in Sudan"1 The cause of these outbreaks still remain unknown. No association with monkeys could be attributed to either of the outbreaks. The only other case besides in Marburg that Ebola seemed to be associated with monkeys was a filovirus (family of viruses containing Ebola) isolated from cynomolgus monkeys from the Philippines.

It is too soon, however, to know to what extent such treatments might repair damaged hearts, such as those suffering congenital heart disease. Scientist and researchers at the University of Udine in Italy, studied hearts removed from 27 people who had received transplants. The researchers stained slices of heart tissue half a micrometer thick and used a confocal microscope to count .....
