Delineating the role of prolactin-inducible protein (Pip) in breast cancer lung metastasis
… for patients. The prolactin-inducible protein (PIP) is a highly breast specific gene product of BC. Because of such relevant attributes, it is considered a valuable BC biomarker frequently used in the clinic to determine the origin of an unknown metastatic carcinoma. However, the role of PIP in …

An analysis of the psychometric properties of the Pediatric Inventory for Parents — Short Form among caregivers of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.
… The Pediatric Inventory for Parents, short-form (PIP-SF), is a self-report measure of pediatric stress in caregivers of children with chronic health conditions. While the measure was developed in a manner that it can be used across childhood chronic illness, no studies to date have examined the …

A quantitative and qualitative analysis of potentially inappropriate prescribing in older adults
… lead to potentially inappropriate prescribing (PIP). PIP occurs when the risk of an adverse event outweighs the intended clinical benefit of a medicine or when clinically indicated medicines are omitted. The overall aim of the research presented in this thesis was to explore potentially …

Beteiligung der Phospholipase D an der Regulation der Synthese von Phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphat durch Arf- und Rho-GTPasen
… phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate-5-kinase (PIP-5-kinase) activity in vitro. In the present study, we have examined wether PLD affects the synthesis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) by PIP-5-kinase. Overexpression of PLD isoforms in HEK-293 cells led to an increase in …

The project implementation profile's applicability to the modern construction industry
… of the current project implementation profile (PIP) tool to the modern construction industry. The research also aimed to identify any new critical success factors (CSFs) to deliver successful construction projects. The research questions were: a. How applicable are the success factors from the …

Generalised proportional-integral-plus control
… This yields Proportional-Integral-Plus (PIP) controllers that are particularly easy to implement in practice, since the state variables are defined only in terms of the sampled input and output signals. The basic PIP algorithm is extended and enhanced in various ways to form a more …

NSAIDs Modulate Morphine Transport at the Blood-Brain Barrier: A Role for P-glycoprotein
… that experimental peripheral inflammatory pain (PIP), induced by subcutaneous plantar injection of λ-carrageenan in Sprague Dawley rats, results in increased expression and activity of the ATP-dependent efflux transporter P-glycoprotein (P-gp) that is endogenously expressed at the blood-brain …

People in prison and correctional officers perspectives on their lived experiences engaging with mental health services in selected correctional facilities in Nigeria: a hermeneutic phenomenological analysis.
… are highly prevalent among people in prison (PIP) population, yet engagement with mental health services (MHS) remains low. Factors such as cultural and traditional beliefs, religious practices, stigma, ethnicity, and gender influence the help-seeking behaviours of PIP. Correctional officers …

Strategies to prevent potentially inappropriate prescribing and adverse drug reactions in older patients
… Potentially inappropriate prescribing (PIP) is a major contributor to adverse drug reactions and overall increased healthcare costs. The aim of this thesis was to identify, develop and implement strategies with the potential to prevent PIP and ADRs in older patients. METHODS: A …

Frankenstein and Great Expectations : the romantic child and the Victorian adult
… the heart of my argument is the contention that Pip has a Romantic childhood and steadily grows into a Victorian adult. The work of some critics suggests that Dickens was not able to reconcile the presence of Romantic and Victorian values in his text, These critics argue that in order to …

Competition Between Grb2 and Plcγ1 For Binding to Fgfr2 Regulates Phospholipase and Pten Activity, Leading to Cell Invasion and Proliferation
… upregulates its activity, resulting in increased PIP<sub>2</sub> turnover to IP<sub>3</sub> and DAG resulting in elevated cellular calcium levels. These signaling events increase cell migration and invasion. A further consequence of the depletion of PIP<sub>2 </sub>is the inhibition of PTEN …

The Modulation of Life and Death: Small Molecule Activators and Inhibitors of Necrotic and Apoptotic Pathways
… procaspase-3 (PAC-1) and an inhibitor of PARG (PIP-1) were identified. PAC-1 was shown to potently induce apoptosis in mammalian cells in a manner directly proportional to the amount of procaspase-3 contained within those cells. As all normal cells contain procaspase-3, the upregulation of …

Investigating PLEKHS1 adaptor function in PI3K signalling and human cancer biology
… of PLEKHS1 in LNCaP cells generates a robust PIP<sub>3</sub> response via YxxM-dependent interactions with endogenous PI3K regulatory subunits (p85, p55γ). PLEKHS1 phosphorylation and PI3K interaction are driven by SFK activity and independent of serum growth factors. In this context and alike …
