In this paper, we present a number-between-events (NBE) control chart for monitoring the fraction nonconforming in finite horizon production (FHP) processes and related specific performance measures. When fractions FHP processes, common binomial p $p$ -chart has two crucial limitations: underlying distributional assumptions are violated when dealing with low-volume scarce efficiency case of cha...

OBJECTIVE To study whether boys who underwent transurethral treatment of (mild) infravesical obstruction during childhood have lower urinary tract symptoms and complications at young adult age. MATERIALS AND METHODS Young adult men who underwent transurethral treatment for infravesical obstruction as a child were contacted. The following measurements were done: International Prostate Symptom ...

The objective of our study was to evaluate bladder outlet obstruction number (BOON) in order to predict infravesical obstruction in patients with benign prostatic enlargement (BPE). Two hundred patients with proven BPE from daily urological practice at the Urology Department of the Sarajevo University Clinical Centre were covered by a prospective study in period 2009-2011. All patients complete...

Introduction: Transient cavitations induced by low frequency irradiation of ultrasound can be used to treat tumors. Previous studies in in-vitro experiments have shown that induced cavitation by dual or multiple frequencies of ultrasound is greater than induced cavitation by single frequency irradiation. In this study, we compared and evaluated the treatment effects of dual frequency irradiatio...

OBJECTIVE Nocturia may be characterized by indices derived from the frequency-volume chart (FVC). The objective of this study was to determine how these parameters relate to the severity of nocturia in men with and without lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective analysis of FVCs was performed in two cohorts of men: those presenting with LUTS in a New York am...
