One of the most prevalent causes failure for a ventriculoperitoneal shunt is blockage, other being infection. This study looks at blockage valve, and whether occlusion valve accelerated by presence an assumes that infection will raise number white blood cells contained in cerebrospinal fluid to fight it thus accelerate occlusion. The experiment simulates system suspending water bath has tempera...

The yield of bacteriophage 643 was increased by infecting cultures of Streptococcus lactis ML3 in late-log phase growth, harvesting the infected cells, and suspending them in fresh, phosphate-buffered minimal medium. The cells lysed after this treatment and produced high titers of bacteriophage. The phage particles were dissociated from debris by 2 M NaCl and purified by differential and CsCl b...
