Evolving evidence indicate that variations in blood glucose levels are likely to be an important factor in developing diabetic complications. Monitoring glucose fluctuations in patients remains as a therapeutic challenge and more evidence needs to be created in order to bring GV into limelight. This review encapsulates the most important findings conducted and discusses on them to provide readers a better understanding on this emerging subject.
Keyword-based comprehensive desktop search was conducted to gather the relevant literature. Triple-stage cascade type content analysis of the literature was conducted to draw relevant themes of discussions.
High glycemic variability is associated with an increased risk of development of diabetic complications especially in cardiac conditions. The widely used and accepted metrics to determine the variations in blood glucose are Standard deviation (SD), MAGE (Mean amplitude of glycemic excursions) and MODD (Mean of daily differences). Occurrence of blood glucose variations affects at a molecular level thereby causing more harm than the occurrence of hyperglycemia alone.
Available data suggest that Glycemic Variability should be used as an additional marker of glycemia. Additional research globally, and in India are required.

Complete pentalogy is very rare. Some additional anomalies may accompany pentalogy and there are cases in the literature where chromosomal anomalies and pentalogy are seen. Cases of Cantrell's pentalogy in twin pregnancies are rare. Twin pregnancies with Cantrell's pentalogy in both fetuses are one of the rarest cases in the literature. In this study, we presented a twin pregnancy case with Cantrell's pentalogy in both fetuses and we reviewed twin pregnancy cases in which Cantrell's pentalogy was seen in the literature. In our case, anomalies were found in both fetuses in the evaluation performed on a 32-year-old, gravida 2, para 1 woman with 10 weeks + 5 days monochorionic-monoamniotic twin pregnancy. The first fetus had ectopia cordis, cystic hygroma and increased nn conclusion, early diagnosis of twin pregnancy cases complicated by Cantrell's pentalogy and determination of all anomalies in both fetuses are very important in terms of obstetric management.
To determine monogenic syndromes in cases of fetal akinesia in order to understand the genetic aetiology.
Clinical trio exome sequencing (ES) was performed on DNA extracted from postnatal samples in 12 cases with fetal akinesia identified by prenatal ultrasound and a normal chromosomal micro-array analysis result. This test targets coding exons for 4200 clinically relevant disease-causing genes. The interpretation of variants was performed according to the guidelines of the American College of Medical Genetics.
A definite molecular diagnosis was achieved in six (50 %) of the 12 cases using clinical trio ES. In five cases, the pathogenic variants were located in known fetal-akinesia-associated genes. In one case, the underlying pathogenic variants were in known disease genes that had not been linked to fetal akinesia previously. Six pregnancies were terminated by the parents, and six pregnancies were continued to term.
Genetic defects leading to fetal akinesia were found in half of the study cases using clinical trio ES. This information will be useful in genetic counselling with regard to prognosis and risk of recurrence.

The etiology and pathogenesis of SUI are complex and not yet completely clear, now believed to be involved with environmental factors, genetic factors and cross-cutting factors between the two. Osimertinib chemical structure SUI genetic susceptibility may be related to single nucleotide polymorphism. This article reviews the current studies on SUI-related single nucleotide polymorphisms.Naproxen is a common non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, which is the most usually used propionic acid derivative for the treatment of many types of diseases. In this study, a series of novel (S)-Naproxen derivatives bearing hydrazide-hydrazone moiety were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for anticancer activity. The structures of these compounds were characterized by spectral (1H-13C NMR, FT-IR, and HR-MS analyses) methods. All synthesized compounds were screened for anticancer activity against two different human breast cancer cell lines (MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7). Among them, (S)-2-(6-methoxynaphthalen-2-yl)-N'-(E)-[2-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]methylidene propanehydrazide (3a) showed the most potent anticancer activity against both cancer cell lines with a good selectivity (IC50 = 22.42 and 59.81 µM, respectively). Furthermore, the molecular modeling of these compounds was studied on Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor 2. Inhibition of VEGFR-2 and apoptotic protein Bcl-2 was investigated in MDA-MB-231 cells treated with compound 3a by using Western Blotting. Apoptosis was also detected by staining with DAPI in fluorescence microscopy. Flow Cytometry analyses related to cell cycle phases showed that a dramatic increase in S and M phases was established compared to untreated control cells indicating the cancer cell cycle arrest. The anticancer activity of compound 3a was investigated in the Ehrlich acid tumor model, a well-validated in vivo ectopic breast cancer model, in mice. Our results showed that compound 3a had anticancer activity and decreased the tumor volume in both low (60 mg/kg) and high (120 mg/kg) doses in mice.
