    Abstract The pathophysiology of hydrocephalus is not clearly defined. Thus, treatment will remain empirical until a fuller understanding of the various forms of hydrocephalus is achieved. Valve-controlled shunting has been the mainstay of therapy since the late 1950s. Initially, shunting occurred from the ventricular system to the atrium. In the 1970s, VA shunts were replaced by ventriculoperitoneal shunts as the primary location for the distal end. Multiple types of one-way valve systems have been developed in the pursuit of draining the appropriate amount of CSF that avoids either overdrainage or underdrainage while preserving normal brain development and cognition. These valves are reviewed and compared as to their function. Other locations for the distal end of the shunting system are reviewed to include pleural space and gallbladder. The lumbar subarachnoid space as the proximal location for a shunt is also reviewed. The only other surgical alternative for treating hydrocephalus is endoscopic third ventriculostomy. Since 2000, approximately 50% of children with hydrocephalus have been shown to be candidates for ETV. The benefits are the lack of need for an artificial shunt system and thus lower rates of infection and over time fewer reoperations. Future progress is dependent on improved shunt valve systems that are affordable worldwide and ready availability of ETV in developing countries. Anatomic and molecular causes of hydrocephalus need to be defined so that medications or genetic modifications become available for potential cure of hydrocephalus.

    Abstract Lung transplant recipients (LTRs) are vulnerable to hyperammonemia syndrome (HS) in the early postoperative period, a condition typically unresponsive to nonantibiotic interventions. HS in LTRs is strongly correlated with Ureaplasma infection of the respiratory tract, although it is not well understood what makes LTRs preferentially susceptible to HS compared to other immunocompromised hosts. Ureaplasma species harbor highly active ureases, and postoperative LTRs commonly experience uremia. We hypothesized that uremia could be a potentiating comorbidity, providing increased substrate for ureaplasmal ureases. Using a novel dialyzed flow system, the ammonia-producing capacities of four isolates of Ureaplasma parvum and six isolates of Ureaplasma urealyticum in media formulations relating to normal and uremic host conditions were tested. For all isolates, growth under simulated uremic conditions resulted in increased ammonia production over 24 h, despite similar endpoint bacterial quantities. Further, transcripts of

    Abstract The ninth American Society for Microbiology Conference on Biofilms was convened in-person on 13-17 November 2022 in Charlotte, NC. As the first of these conferences since prior to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the energy among the participants of the conference was clear, and the meeting was a tremendous success. The mixture of >330 oral and poster presentations resoundingly embodied the vitality of biofilm research across a wide range of topics and multiple scientific disciplines. Special activities, including a pre-conference symposium for early career researchers, further enhanced the attendee experience. As a general theme, the conference was deliberately structured to provide high levels of participation and engagement among early career scientists.
