Introduction: Among numerous triterpenoids of the Cucurbitaceae family, Cucurbitacin-B (Cur-B) is being explored for its pharmacological attributes. Reports from previous studies have explicitly shown that Cur-B possesses substantial anticancer effects. The present report focuses on exploring the anticancer attributes of Cur-B against androgen-dependent PCa LNCaP cells.Methods: LNCaP cells were exposed to commercially available purified Cur-B at varying concentrations that were selected as 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 µM for some time of 24 h to perform various experimental studies.Results: Cytotoxicity evaluation revealed that Cur-B impeded the LNCaP cell’s viability at 5 µM (p <0.05) which increased considerably at a concentration of 25 µM (p <0.001). Cur-B was also efficacious in inducing the changes within nu-clear morphology followed by a concomitant increase in the activities of key caspases including caspase-3, -8, and -9 intriguingly in a dose-dependent trend. Cur-B treatment...

Nocturnal enuresis is defined as nighttime bedwetting in children five years of age or older in the absence of neurological or structural problems affecting the bladder. A wide variety of interventions are used to treat nocturnal enuresis include simple behavioral intervention, enuresis alarm, and pharmacological treatment—the aim of the study to assess the management of nocturnal enuresis in children. A prospective cross-sectional study included 150 children attend the advanced diagnostic center. Data collected by direct interview questionnaire was tested –coded and analyzed by SPSS version 20 in tables and graph &excel. The result of this study showed that the highest treatment adopted was simple-cognitive behavioral therapy (87%), with the highest (94.7%) of patient surveyed adopted lifting and awaking technique,(38%) of patient surveyed have taken imipramine, (26%) of patient surveyed have taken 75mg dose of imipramine, (37%)of patients surveyed had a full response from imiprami...
