International scientific vocabulary, using a classical compound: ventriculo- + cistern + -al.

ventriculocisternal drainage

Arne Torkildsen was a pioneering Norwegian neurosurgeon who introduced the ventriculocisternal shunt, the first clinically successful shunt for CSF diversion in hydrocephalus. The procedure, usually referred to as ventriculocisternostomy (VCS), Torkildsen's operation, or Torkildsen's shunt, became internationally recognized as an efficient operation for the treatment of noncommunicating hydrocephalus. The operation gained widespread use in the 1940s and 1950s before the introduction of extracranial shunts. In this paper, the authors look more closely at Torkildsen's development of the VCS and examine how this surgical approach differed from other procedures for treating hydrocephalus before World War II.

This immune cell-mediated senolysis seems to be facilitated via direct cell-cell contact inducing apoptosis and granule exocytosis.

Senolytics are compounds that target selectively senescent cells and induce their lysis, a process known as senolysis. Senescent cells are resistant to apoptosis because they have an increase[d] expression of pro-survival networks.

(medicine) The destruction of senescent cells, such as to alleviate age-related diseases.
