hypertrophy haIp&'tr&UfI
glycosphingolipids glaIk&sfI1g&lIpIdz
glycolipid glaIk&lIpId
lysosomal laIsAsAmAl

I can't find the following word anywhere does anyone know what it is or what it should be and the IPA symbols?

The dictionary that Anglika has recommended is very good. The phonetic symbols are not IPA, but that shouldn't be a problem.
Remember to make proper distinctions between words like hypothermia and hyperthermia, which a layperson might pronounce the same (with a schwa after 'hyp'), but which are opposite in meaning. Doctors usually overpronounce the distinctions to avoid misunderstanding.
