Comparison of IPSS score and voiding parameters in men presenting with LUTS.

Introduction: This study compares subjective lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) to objective voiding parameters measured during the UroCuff Test, a non-invasive pressure flow study (PFS), in men presenting with LUTS attributed to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Materials And Methods: This is an expanded subpopulation analysis of a previously reported group of 50,680 men with LUTS, which depicted increased disease progression as men age. During the UroCuff Test, investigators optionally provided the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS).

Noninvasive Pressure Flow Studies in the Evaluation of Men with Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Secondary to Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: A Review of 50,000 Patients.

Purpose: The UroCuff® Test is a noninvasive pressure flow study used to manage men with lower urinary tract symptoms. UroCuff Tests were performed on men with lower urinary tract symptoms to evaluate voiding characteristics and quantify changes in urodynamic parameters with age.

Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study included all UroCuff Tests performed at 103 urology practices in the U.

Development of a novel surface assisted volume negative hydrogen ion source.

H ion based neutral beam injector is a critical heating and current drive system in a fusion reactor. However, the present H ion source configuration has limitations in terms of production, extraction, cesium (Cs) inventory and management. To overcome these limitations, a proof-of-principle experiment based on a novel concept regarding surface assisted volume H ions production by sprinkling Cs coated tungsten (W) dust grains (low work function surface) into a hydrogen plasma is carried out.
