Staz is a powerful vampire boss of a territory in the Demon World. Unlike his vampire ancestors, he prefers not to prey on humans, and would rather indulge in their Japanese otaku lifestyle of reading manga, watching anime, and playing video games. One day, he becomes excited when Fuyumi Yanagi, an ordinary Japanese high school girl, accidentally wanders into the Demon World through a portal. The two's first meeting is cut short by the attack of a demon who challenges his territory. When Staz goes to stop the demon, Fuyumi is killed by a carnivorous plant and turned into a ghost. Staz takes responsibility and pledges to help bring her back to life. When they take the portal, they learn that Fuyumi needs to drink Staz's blood in order to not fade away. They meet Hydra Bell, a treasure hunter who reveals her ability to open and close the portal was stolen, and that in order to restore Fuyumi they need the Book of Resurrection.

Staz Charlie Blood is a powerful vampire who rules the Eastern district of Demon World. According to rumors, he is a bloodthirsty and merciless monster, but in reality, Staz is just an otaku obsessed with Japanese culture and completely uninterested in human blood. Leaving the management of his territory to his underlings, Staz spends his days lazing around, indulging in anime, manga, and games.
When love is in the air, the body can undergo some dramatic changes. Signalsfrom the brain speed up the metabolism of glucose. As a result, bodytemperature rises, skin sweats, heartbeat and breathing get faster. In a man,hormones cue blood vessels to relax, allowing the spongy tissue in the penis tofill with blood. At the height of sexual excitement, millions of sperm aresqueezed out of storage and swept up by fluid gushing from several glands,including the prostate. The flood carries them into a fifteen-inch-long tubelooping into the abdomen and then out through the penis. It's only about ateaspoon of liquid, but it typically contains about three hundred millionsperm.
Now called a "blastocyst," the bundle of cells must do two things to survive:break out of the zona and find a source of nourishment. At the beginning of thesixth day, it orchestrates an escape. It releases an enzyme that eats throughthe zona, and the ball of cells squeezes out. Free at last, the blastocystlands on the blood-rich lining of the mother's uterus. It has just passed onehurdle, but is immediately presented with another.
For in fact it is now in very grave danger. Stripped of its protectivecoating, the blastocyst could be attacked by the mother's immune system as aforeign invader. White blood cells would swarm in to devour it. In its ownself-defense, the ball of cells produces several chemicals that suppress themother's immune system inside the uterus, in effect, convincing the mother totreat it like a welcome guest.
The lower cells are destined to form structures like the lungs, liver, and thelining of the digestive tract. The middle layer will form the heart, muscles,bones and blood. And the top layer will create the nervous system, includingthe spinal cord and the brain, as well as an outer covering of skin, andeventually, hair.
As the days pass, changes proceed at a rapid-fire pace throughout the embryo.Everywhere, cells are multiplying. And they're on the move. Some reach out toone another, forming blood vessels. A heart begins to beat. As the embryolengthens the precursor to the backbone forms. Groups of cells bulge out on thesides, the beginnings of arms and legs.
NARRATOR:It's no surprise that Melinda might be especially hungry. Thefetus she's carrying has only one source for all the raw materials it needs togrow into a baby: Melinda's blood, which is systematically raided with the helpof the placenta.
The placenta began to form as soon as the blastocyst burrowed into themother's uterus, and in the early weeks it dwarfed the embryo. The underside ofthe placenta is covered with thousands of tiny projections, called "villi"which lie in pools of the mother's blood. Without ever mixing the blood ofmother and child, the villi grab oxygen and nutrients. The enriched blood flowsabout a foot and a half through the umbilical cord, back to the fetus, whoseheart beats about twice as fast as an adult's.
The brain's hunger for fat in the last trimester puts an enormous strain onthe mother. Over the course of the pregnancy, her body has increased its ownblood supply by about 50 percent, all for the sake of the rapidly growing baby.But late in pregnancy, the baby's need for fat becomes so great the mothercan't keep up. If it stays inside, the baby will begin to starve. Somehow, it'sgot to get out.
Symptoms of PPC are similar to those of ovarian cancer, including abdominal pain or bloating, nausea, vomiting, indigestion, and a change in bowel habits. Also, like ovarian cancer, PPC may elevate the blood level of a tumor marker called CA-125.
The frequency with which blood films were positive at given parasite densities measured by PCR were analysed. The poisson distribution was used to calculate the theoretical likelihood of diagnosis. Further in vitro studies used serial dilutions to prepare thick films from malaria cultures at known parasitaemia.
Even in expert hands, thick blood films were considerably less sensitive than might have been expected from the parasite numbers measured by quantitative PCR. In vitro work showed that thick films prepared from malaria cultures at known parasitaemia consistently underestimated parasite densities.
Microscopy of thick blood films is the usual diagnostic test for Plasmodium falciparum malaria. Density is usually assessed by thick films, either by counting parasites per microscope field, or by counting parasites per hundred white blood cells [1]. Thick films contain several layers of red cells, whereas thin films contain a single layer of spread red cells. Thus, for a fixed number of microscope fields, thick films allow the microscopist to examine a larger number of red cells for the presence of parasites, and low parasitaemias can be more readily identified by thick film. Thin films are preferred to examine the morphology of parasites and determine species. Non-immune individuals may be unwell when one parasite or less is present in an entire thick film, requiring laborious, repeated examinations to make a diagnosis.
The sensitivity of thick blood films was studied using data obtained during these trials, compared this with quantitative PCR data, and further investigated these findings with in vitro studies.
Volunteers gave informed consent. Procedures were reviewed by OXREC (Oxford Research Ethics Committee), the local ethics committee, and were in accordance with the declaration of Helsinki (revised 1983). Twice daily blood samples were taken from day 6 until day 14, then daily until day 21. At least 100 high powered fields of a thick blood film were viewed and quantitative PCR performed on each sample. Volunteers were treated when a single parasite was seen by blood film, after the appearance of the parasite was confirmed by a second microscopist. Neither managing clinicians nor microscopists were aware of PCR data during the trial.
Giemsa staining was used for the first two sporozoite challenge studies, and Field's stain in coplin jars for the later two studies. The thick film was air dried in both methods. For giemsa staining, the film was stood in 5% Giemsa for 30 minutes, then washed gently in tap water and air dried. Field's stain was applied by dipping the slide into Field's stain A for 3 seconds, then into tap water for 3 seconds (with gentle agitation), into Field's stain B for a further 3 seconds and then washing gently in tap water to remove excess stain. The slide was then air dried for at least 30 minutes. The lead microscopist held a post in the London School for Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Clinical Parasitology Laboratory, the UK national reference laboratory, and others at the Medical Research Council, the Gambia. The lead microscopist examined slides produced by serial dilutions, blind to source. The average thick film uses 10 μl of blood spread over one thousand high powered fields, so the 100 high powered fields routinely examined during views 1 μl of blood [7].
The PCR method is described elsewhere [6]. Briefly, EDTA anticoagulated blood samples were filtered to remove leukocytes, DNA was purified from 0.5 ml filtered blood, and eluted into 50 μl. A portion of the multicopy 18S (small subunit) ribosomal RNA genes of P. falciparum was amplified by PCR and the increase in PCR product detected by binding the fluorescent dye SYBR Green I using the Rotor-Gene Real-Time PCR machine (Corbett Research), using l μl extracted DNA in duplicate. The increase in PCR product is quantitated by comparison with standard preparations of known parasite numbers.
This surprising finding suggested that a significant number of parasites were not visualized on a thick film despite being theoretically present in the original blood sample used to make the film. Results did not vary according to staining protocol (Giemsa or Field stain) or by microscipist. A similar density threshold for reliable diagnosis of malaria by thick film examination is reported elsewhere [8].
For the serially diluted parasite cultures, the parasite density measured by PCR and thick film was compared with that calculated from serial dilution (Fig 1). Although PCR readings corresponded well with actual parasite numbers generated from serial dilutions, thick films were less reproducible, but tended to measure parasite densities approximately one log lower than those calculated by serial dilution.
At each serial dilution (x axis), parasite densities seen by PCR (open circles) and parasite densities seen by thick blood film examination (filled circles) are both plotted on the y axis. The PCR readings are the result of a single experiment, the thick film readings are the results of two experiments. The solid line (least squares regression line for PCR results against densities known from serial dilution) is given by y = 0.98x + 0.07 (95% CI -0.12 to 0.27). The dotted line (regression line for thick film densities against serial dilution, ignoring the outlier) is given by y = 0.78x - 1.5 (95% CI -0.61 to -2.4) (y = 0.81x - 1.26, 95% CI - 0.07 to -2.5 including the outlier). Densities measured by thick film are therefore approximately 1 log lower than those calculated by serial dilution, whereas PCR readings match the serial dilution more closely. 2ff7e9595c
