Source: NICE Area: News This draft guideline makes recommendations on the assessment and management of bedwetting in children and young people. The guidance applies to children and young people up to 19 years with the symptom of bedwetting and also includes recommendations on the pharmacological management of nocturnal enuresis. Registered stakeholders for this guideline are invited to comment on the provisional recommendations via the NICE website.  The guideline also contains recommendations on the pharmacological management of nocturnal enuresis. The guideline consultation runs from 11th March 2010 - 6th May 2010. Please note: The recommendations presented in the document are provisional and may change after consultation.

Conclusion. We have found a significant increase in ME prevalence in lifelong premature ejaculators. A common deficiency of inhibitory signal processing in the central nervous system may underlie both inability to inhibit the ejaculation and micturition in these patients or genetic predisposition may play a significant role. Further prospective studies are needed to explain the relationship between lifelong PE and ME. Gökçe A, and Ekmekcioglu O.

Nocturia is a bothersome and highly prevalent urological condition characterised by the need to wake to void at night. Contrary to popular misconception, nocturia is equally common in men and women, and although its prevalence increases with age, a significant proportion of younger people are also affected. Nocturia leads to repeated fragmentation of sleep and consequently to a serious decline in daytime functioning and in overall quality of life and health. As such, its impact should not be underestimated by clinicians. Traditionally, nocturia has been regarded as a symptom of benign prostatic enlargement and/or overactive bladder syndrome, with treatment therefore directed towards increasing the capacity of the bladder to hold urine. Such treatments have proven largely ineffective in man...

Vassilia Zorba, Xiaobo Chen, and Samuel S. Mao Since the discovery of extreme surface wetting phenomenon induced by ultraviolet photocatalysis, TiO has become the material of choice for environmental friendly applications such as self-cleaning coatings. Nevertheless, it remains a significant challenge to realize surfaces exhibiting persistent su ... [Appl. Phys. Lett. 96, 093702 (2010)] published Wed Mar 3, 2010. (Source: Applied Physics Letters)

T. Schiros, O. Takahashi, K. J. Andersson, H. Ostrom, L. G. M. Pettersson et al. We address how the electronic and geometric structures of metal surfaces determine water-metal bonding by affecting the balance between Pauli repulsion and electrostatic attraction. We show how the rigid d-electrons and the softer s-electrons utilize different mechanisms for the redistribution of ch ... [J. Chem. Phys. 132, 094701 (2010)] published Tue Mar 2, 2010.

Conclusion: DDAVP has no effect on the sleep architecture of children with PME when analysed by classical PSG, which is determined by collecting the electric activity of cortical neurons. Taking recent research findings into account, this supports the thesis that the disturbances causing PME occur at brain stem level and do not reach consciousness. (Source: Acta Paediatrica)

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have obtained the first glimpse of miniscule air bubbles that keep water from wetting a super non-stick surface. Detailed information about the size and shape of these bubbles - and the non-stick material the scientists created by "pock-marking" a smooth material with cavities measuring mere billionths of a meter - is being published online in the journal Nano Letters...

This article provides an overview of the scientific evidence regarding the efficacy and safety of antifibrinolytic agents and desmopressin to reduce surgical blood loss. The synthetic derivatives of lysine are the only antifibrinolytics available in clinical practice since the withdrawal of aprotinin. There is evidence that the prophylactic use of lysine analogues is efficacious in reducing perioperative blood loss in cardiac and major orthopaedic surgery. The impact on exposure to blood transfusion is, however, variable. There is no evidence at present that they improve the overall outcome. Lysine analogues appear to be well tolerated in coronary artery bypass surgery, but less is known regarding their risk–benefit profile in special patient groups. Further studies are needed to elucida...

Conclusion: Enuresis in ADHD has a relationship with ODD. Physicians who treat patients with ADHD and enuresis should routinely inquire about the presence of major depression in the fathers. (J. of Att. Dis. 2010; 13(5) 464-467) (Source: Journal of Attention Disorders)

We demonstrate a method to fabricate ultra-thin, ultra-smooth and low-loss silver (Ag) films using a very thin germanium (Ge) layer as a wetting material and a rapid post-annealing treatment. The addition of a Ge wetting layer greatly reduces the surface roughness of Ag films deposited on a glass ... (Source: Optics Express)

Conclusions: Spinal manipulation/mobilization is effective in adults for: acute, subacute, and chronic low back pain; migraine and cervicogenic headache; cervicogenic dizziness; manipulation/mobilization is effective for several extremity joint conditions; and thoracic manipulation/mobilization is effective for acute/subacute neck pain. The evidence is inconclusive for cervical manipulation/mobilization alone for neck pain of any duration, and for manipulation/mobilization for mid back pain, sciatica, tension-type headache, coccydynia, temporomandibular joint disorders, fibromyalgia, premenstrual syndrome, and pneumonia in older adults. Spinal manipulation is not effective for asthma and dysmenorrhea when compared to sham manipulation, or for Stage 1 hypertension when added to an antihyper...

Conclusions: Daytime incontinence is relatively common among children of primary school age and frequent incontinence more commonly coexists with other conditions, such as bedwetting and urgency. This study suggests the need for treatment to focus on children with frequent incontinence. (Source: Acta Paediatrica)
