Abstract
BACKGROUND Incontinence is a common disorder among older adults with a higher prevalence in nursing home settings than in community dwellings. There is a wide variety of absorbent continence products on the market used to manage continence. AIM The study aimed to investigate the experience of caregivers of residents with incontinence in care home settings using the new MoliCare Premium Form design and to compare some of the product features with the previous design. METHOD A questionnaire focusing on the key performance characteristics of the product was developed and administered to 74 nurses in Germany to obtain their opinions on the use of MoliCare Premium Form products. FINDINGS More than 90% of respondents rated each key performance aspect of the new product design as 'good' and 'OK'. More than 60% of the caregivers found the new product design to be better performing and 93% preferred the new design to the previous version. CONCLUSION The newly redesigned continence pad performed very well on each of the individual performance features, indicating the high quality and optimised design of the product. The new design was found to be suitable and effective for individuals with incontinence.

Abstract
Urinary incontinence (UI) is a bothersome symptom with population studies suggesting a prevalence of 13.1% in women and 5.4% in men. While a significant cohort of patients with this complaint may ultimately require surgical management to achieve complete continence, a number of non-surgical measures exist to improve symptoms and quality of life. A range of guidelines exist on this topic, including those published by the European Association of Urology (EAU), the International Continence Society (ICS), the American Urological Association (AUA) and the UK's National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). The aim of our study is to provide an overview of the initial assessment of patients with UI including history taking, examination and basic investigations. Our review outlines non-surgical management strategies for UI, including conservative measures, behavioral and physical therapies and drug treatment. We shall also examine the above guidelines and present a narrative overview of the literature surrounding the diagnosis and non-surgical management of urinary incontinence.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Despite therapeutic strategies of female and male urinary incontinence (UI) are currently well defined, there is no precise indication of the real place or strategy use of absorbent products regardless of the etiology of the incontinence or the clinical context. METHODS We performed a research from the PubMed database using the following keywords: (urinary incontinence [MESH Terms]) AND absorbent pad [MeSH Terms]; allowing us to isolate 362 articles. RESULTS Many protections designs are available over-the-counter without prescription and without reimbursement in France. For "light UI", disposable insert pads are the design that seems to be the most suitable for women, compared to disposable menstrual pads, OR=0.27 [0.14, 0.52], washable pants with integral pad OR=0.12 [0.06, 0.26] or washable insert pads OR=0.05 [0.02, 0.26]. For moderate to severe UI, there is no "best universal product". There are differences between the gender and the use of a panel of protections seems the most appropriate. Both women and men prefer pull-ups to disposable insert pads, OR=0.41 [0.20, 0.87] and OR=0.39 [0.22, 0.68] respectively. In men, a preference in 70 % of subjects for urisheats is observed compared to the protections they usually use (P=0.02). The use of protections improves independence in daily OR activities=0.102 [0.046, 0.158] and quality of life related to UI OR=4.40 [1.74, 7.07] compared to patients not using protections. Despite this, their use must remain cautious because of the potential infectious urinary complications, more frequent in particular in institutional people, with 41 % of users developing at least one urinary infection over an evaluation period of 12 months vs. 11 % of non-users (P=0.001), or immuno-allergic with the "dermatitis associated incontinence" whose prevalence can reach a rate of 50 %. CONCLUSION Comparative analyzes of risk-benefit, economic costs, patient satisfaction, protections vs. other measures are lacking. It is necessary to continue the development of these products and to compare more precisely their intrinsic characteristics, to best support patients choices.

Abstract
This paper provides a practical clinical application of guideline recommendations relating to the inpatient monitoring of patients with acute heart failure, through the evaluation of various clinical, biomarker, imaging, invasive and non-invasive approaches. Comprehensive inpatient monitoring is crucial to the optimal management of acute heart failure patients. The European Society of Cardiology heart failure guidelines provide recommendations for the inpatient monitoring of acute heart failure, but the level of evidence underpinning most recommendations is limited. Many tools are available for the in-hospital monitoring of patients with acute heart failure, and each plays a role at various points throughout the patient's treatment course, including the emergency department, intensive care or coronary care unit, and the general ward. Clinical judgment is the preeminent factor guiding application of inpatient monitoring tools, as the various techniques have different patient population targets. When applied appropriately, these techniques enable decision making. However, there is limited evidence demonstrating that implementation of these tools improves patient outcome. Research priorities are identified to address these gaps in evidence. Future research initiatives should aim to identify the optimal in-hospital monitoring strategies that decrease morbidity and prolong survival in patients with acute heart failure.

Abstract
Urinary incontinence is a hidden problem that affects 14 million adults in the UK. It affects around 30% of men aged 65 and over and can have a huge effect on quality of life. Often this distressing symptom can be treated effectively. It is important to manage incontinence while the man is undergoing investigations and treatment or when treatment is not possible. This article examines the role of urinary sheaths in the management of incontinence and provides links to further information.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the performance of three continence management devices and absorbent pads used by men with persistent urinary incontinence (>1 year) after treatment for prostate cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS Randomised, controlled trial of 56 men with 1-year follow-up. Three devices were tested for 3 weeks each: sheath drainage system, body-worn urinal (BWU) and penile clamp. Device and pad performance were assessed. Quality of life (QoL) was measured at baseline and follow-up with the King's Health Questionnaire. Stated (intended use) and revealed (actual use) preference for products were assessed. Value-for-money was gathered. RESULTS Substantial and significant differences in performance were found. The sheath was rated as 'good' for extended use (e.g. golf and travel) when pad changing is difficult; for keeping skin dry, not leaking, not smelling and convenient for storage and travel. The BWU was generally rated worse than the sheath and was mainly used for similar activities but by men who could not use a sheath (e.g. retracted penis) and was not good for seated activities. The clamp was good for short vigorous activities like swimming/exercise; it was the most secure, least likely to leak, most discreet but almost all men described it as uncomfortable or painful. The pads were good for everyday activities and best for night-time use; most easy to use, comfortable when dry but most likely to leak and most uncomfortable when wet. There was a preference for having a mixture of products to meet daytime needs; around two-thirds of men were using a combination of pads and devices after testing compared with baseline. CONCLUSIONS This is the first trial to systematically compare different continence management devices for men. Pads and devices have different strengths, which make them particularly suited to certain circumstances and activities. Most men prefer to use pads at night but would choose a mixture of pads and devices during the day. Device limitations were important but may be overcome by better design.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The combined symptoms of urinary frequency, urgency, nocturia, and incontinence (overactive bladder) are common symptoms within an elderly population but are also seen in palliative care patients and are most often due to detrusor muscle overactivity. These symptoms can lead to a marked reduction in quality of life and pharmacological management is traditionally with anticholinergic drugs. These medications carry a high risk of side effects and are often poorly tolerated by palliative care patients. Other management approaches, however, such as the use of urisheaths may markedly improve quality of life without adding to symptom burden in patients nearing the end of life. OBJECTIVES This article highlights two cases in palliative care where overactive bladder symptoms prove difficult to manage with anticholinergic drugs. CONCLUSIONS The discussion will give an overview of treatment strategies to help aid the clinician in managing these difficult symptoms in patients with a terminal illness.
