Abstract: A process for preparing a purified virus vaccine comprises the steps of purifying a fluid containing a virus by centrifugation, ultracentrifuging to pellet the supernatant, purifying the virus by sucrose gradient ultracentrifugation, rehydration and lyophilization. Desirably, a modified starch, such as hydroxyethyl starch having a molecular weight in the range 100,000-300,000, is added as a protective colloid prior to lyophilization. The virus is selected from the group consisting of avian paramyxovirus, avian herpesvirus, avian rotavirus, avian bronchitis, avian encephalitis, avian bursiris (Gumboro) virus, Marek's disease virus, parvovirus, Newcastle disease virus, human paramyxovirus, human parvovirus, human adenovirus, and mixtures thereof. A purified virus vaccine made by the foregoing method is useful for the treatment and control of mammalian disease of viral origin.

Abstract: A method for treating human disease of viral etiology which employs the administration of a pharmaceutically effective amount of a live attenuated virus. Avian paramyxovirus is the virus preferred for use in live attenuated vaccine form, although other viruses of human and nonhuman origin have also been shown to be effective. The administration of a pharmaceutically effective amount of avian paramyxovirus and avian rotavirus vaccine has been shown to be efficacious in the treatment of Herpes virus infections, hepatitis, some cancers, aphthous stomatitis, acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and polyarteritis nodosa.

The administration of a pharmaceutically effective amount of avian paramyxovirus and avian rotavirus vacciine has been shown to be efficacious in the treatment of Herpes virus infections, hepatitis-A, some cancers, aphthous stomatitis, acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and polyarteritis nodosa.

Abstract: The sickbed hammock which can be raised to a desired height above the mattress includes a cutout to the periphery and underneath of which a removable sanitary bowl is attached by fastening means or Velcro-strips. The bed is provided also with a timed swivel for causing a turning of the hammock within safe limits.

Abstract: An IUD in which an inner base ring made from a resilient material and formed into a generally circular shape with a bulbous free end carries a jelly-like covering material over its entire extent having formed with a plurality of bead-like protrusions.
