Abstract: A live, attenuated varicella zoster virus vaccine is produced with enhanced yield of VZV. The new process makes mass production of a live VZV vaccine more practical.

Abstract: A wall switch latch includes a mounting plate having an enclosed slot directed therethrough and slidably receiving a fastener member directed into a wall plate permitting an abutment plate mounted to the mounting plate for abutment with an associated actuating lever bar of a wall switch mechanism. The abutment plate further includes a fluid dye saturated sponge arranged to mark the lever bar of the switch upon contact therewith.

Abstract: Certain Factor XIIIa inhibitor compounds have been discovered which have been found to be useful in the lysis of blood clots and thus adaptable for administration in thrombolytic therapy either alone or together with plasminogen activator.

Abstract: Peptides comprising the tripeptide sequence of arginine-tyrosine-aspartic acid, linked from amino- to carboxy-terminus, are inhibitors of fibrinogen binding, platelet aggregation, glycoprotein IIb-IIIa binding and related aberrant and normal physiological conditions.

Abstract: Disclosed is a data compressing modem for connection to a decompressing modem over communication lines. The compressing modem receives an input data stream, and each character in the data stream is recodified with a compressed character code, the length of which is dependent on the frequency of the character in the data stream. A frequency table is maintained so that changes in the relative frequency of characters in the data stream will be recognized by the compressing modem and the compressed character codes representing such characters will be exchanged accordingly. A decompressing modem, which is connected over communication lines to the compressing modem, processes the compressed character code in a reverse order from the manner in which the compresing modem processing the codes. The decompressing modem also maintains a relative frequency table and as the relative frequencies of the various characters change, the actual characters represented by the compression codes must also change.

Abstract: Various 3-substituted cyproheptadine derivatives are useful in the treatment of infection by Plasmodium falciparum and in the treatment of malaria either as compounds, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, or pharmaceutical composition ingredients in combination with antimalarial agents or compounds. Methods of treating malaria and methods of treating infection by Plasmodium falciparum are also described.
