Objective Men with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) with good urinary flow may still have bladder outlet obstruction (BOO). Intravesical prostatic protrusion (IPP) has been shown to be able to predict BOO. We aim to investigate the use of IPP to predict BOO in men with good urinary flow. Methods One hundred and fourteen consecutive men (>50 years old) presenting with lower urinary tract symp...

Let C be a q-ary code of length n and size M , and C(i) = {c(i) | c = (c(1), c(2), . . . , c(n)) ∈ C} be the set of ith coordinates of C. The descendant code of a sub-code C ′ ⊆ C is defined to be C ′ (1) × C ′ (2) × · · · × C ′ (n). In this paper, we introduce a multimedia analogue of codes with the identifiable parent property (IPP), called multimedia IPP codes or t-MIPPC(n,M, q), so that giv...

We have studied the binding of inositol pentaphosphate (IPP) to the hemoglobins from two species of goose living at low and high altitudes, using the proton absorption method. Measurements were done at 25 and 37 degrees C in a pH range between 6.0 and 8.8. The bird hemoglobins show a high affinity and a binding stoichiometry of 1 IPP molecule/hemoglobin tetramer both in the ligated and unligate...

Objective Despite high-grade intravesical prostatic protrusion (IPP) being closely related to bladder outlet obstruction (BOO), up to 21% of patients with low IPP remain obstructed. This study evaluates the characteristics and urodynamic findings of men with small prostates and low IPP. Methods One hundred and fourteen men aged >50 years old with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) were asses...

OBJECTIVE Determine diagnostic power and intercorrelation between bladder outlet obstruction number (BOON) and intravesical prostatic protrusion (IPP ) as non-invasive predictors of infravesical obstruction in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic enlargement. MATERIAL AND METHODS Prospective study during 2009-2010 analyzed data of 110 patients with proven benign ...

PURPOSE Intravesical protrusion of the prostate (IPP) can affect voiding. We evaluated the improvement in lower urinary tract symptoms and patient satisfaction after laser prostate photovaporization in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patients with or without IPP. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective study included 134 patients who underwent GreenLight HPS laser photoselective vaporizatio...

This document is one of a set of documents, which together describe all aspects of a new Internet Printing Protocol (IPP). IPP is an application level protocol that can be used for distributed printing using Internet tools and technologies. This document describes IPP from a high level view, defines a roadmap for the various documents that form the suite of IPP specifications, and gives backgro...

Mycoplasma sp., strain J, which is unable to convert mevalonic acid to isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) will grow with IPP as a substitute for sterol. (14)C-labeled IPP is incorporated into its unsaponifiable lipid. This unsaponifiable lipid was separated into three (14)C-labeled fractions, all of which possess spectral and chromatographic characteristics of polyterpenes.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the net effects of the concomitant use of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and dopexamine on intestinal tissue perfusion and oxygenation during predefined artificial reductions in intestinal perfusion pressure (IPP). DESIGN Prospective, self-controlled, experimental study. SETTING University hospital research laboratory. SUBJECTS Seven female pigs. MEASUREME...
