Overview
Nocturnal enuresis is involuntary urination that happens at night while sleeping, after the age when a person should be able to control his or her bladder. Most of us think of bedwetting as something that happens with little kids.
For children and adolescents with refractory primary monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (PMNE), fluoxetine therapy, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, is a safe therapeutic option that produces an initial positive response. A study that appeared in the Journal of Urology found that the response rate does, however, gradually decline with time.

High levels of HCG after single embryo transfer tied to pre eclampsia risk
Human chorionic gonadotrophin can be detected in the maternal serum, confirming early pregnancy. The success of implantation is measured by early concentration after IVF and embryo transfer.
A study published in the Reproductive Biomedicine Online is the first known report highlighting the link between high HCG (Human chorionic gonadotrophin) levels after Single Embryo Transfer (SET) and the development of adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Fasting blood sugar variability linked with cancer risk in T2DM patients
Studies have reported that fasting blood sugar level is independently associated with the risk of cancer onset but in accordance to a recent study published in the Journal of Diabetes which has found that long-term changes in fasting blood sugar are positively associated with the risk of cancer in type 2 diabetes patients.
The researchers collected data from 46 761 patients with T2DM aged between 20-80 years. To describe fasting blood sugar variability, four indicators were adopted, including coefficient of variation (CV), average real variability (ARV), standard deviation (SD), and variation independent of the mean (VIM). The association between long-term fasting blood sugar variability and cancer risk was investigated. The interactive effect of FBG variability was determined with hypertension and fasting blood sugar -mean with hypertension on the risk of cancer, respectively.
