In cattle, Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis infection is primarily mediated through M cells overlying Peyer's patches (PP) in the ileum. The capacity of M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis to invade ileal PP (IPP) versus discrete PP in the jejunum (JPP) and subsequent differences in mucosal immune responses were investigated. Intestinal segments were surgically prepared in both mid-jeju...

INTRODUCTION This study was conducted to determine how long after inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) surgery patients attempt sexual intercourse and the frequency of subsequent relations. We also examined survival-related factors for the AMS 700 CX, Mentor Alpha 1, and Mentor Alpha Narrow Base. AIMS The aim was to survey men who received IPPs and collect information about their return to sexu...

An orchestrated interplay of adaptor and signaling proteins at mechano-sensitive sites is essential to maintain cardiac contractility and when defective leads to heart failure. We recently showed that Integrin-linked Kinase (ILK), ß-Parvin and PINCH form the IPP-complex to grant tuned Protein Kinase B (PKB) signaling in the heart. Loss of one of the IPP-complex components results in destabiliza...

The inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) is the gold standard surgical treatment for medical refractory erectile dysfunction (ED). While the modern IPP has enjoyed high satisfaction rates as a product of its continued innovation, reliability, and performance, patient dissatisfaction can still occur. IPP implantation restores physiologic function with cosmetic and psychological consequences, both ...

Isoprenoid compounds are ubiquitous in nature, participating in important biological phenomena such as signal transduction, aerobic cellular respiration, photosynthesis, insect communication, and many others. They are derived from the 5-carbon isoprenoid substrates isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) and its isomer dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP). In Archaea and Eukarya, these building blocks are s...

Polymer nanocomposite materials of higher thermal and electrical transport properties are important to nanotech‐ nology applications such as thermal management, packag‐ ing, labelling and the textile industry. In this work, thermal and electrical conductivities in nanocomposites of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) and isotactic polypro‐ pylene (iPP) are investigated in terms of MWCNT loadin...

The non-isothermal crystallization of the isotactic Polypropylene (iPP) was studied using differential scanning calorimetry and polarizing optical microscopy. Jeziorny’s model Ozawa’s theoretical approaches were applied to study kinetics iPP. approach proved be most relevant present material. Simultaneously, activation energy calculated with Kissinger’s method Vyazovkin’s iso-conversional appro...

tau.amegroups.com © Translational Andrology and Urology. All rights reserved. Penile prosthetic surgery via insertion of an inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) is well established as the gold standard for patients with Peyronie’s disease and concurrent, severe erectile dysfunction (ED). For these patients, correction of curvature, erectile strength, and penile shortening have a significant impac...
