Continence care should be individually delivered with dignity, decorum, distinction in all diverse contexts and circumstances. From the dependency of childhood to ultimately the end of life, continence care is essential for all, no matter what the setting is: at home, sheltered structures, community care, residential settings and nursing homes. Person-centred care is central to healthcare policies, procedures to the provision of personalised consultation, developing a collaborative partnership approach to continence assessment, promotion, and management.

Context: Improved continence outcomes are reliant on identification of unmet need, education delivery, and shared decision-making. The evidence base on which to derive innovative approaches in these areas was unclear.
Methods: A debate held at the International Consultation on Incontinence-Research Society meeting, held in Bristol in June 2024, considered ways to improve research requirements to advance these areas.

Pediatric Urology and Regenerative Medicine Research Center, Gene, Cell and Tissue Research Institute, Children's Medical Center, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of the Complete Primary Repair of Exstrophy (CPRE) technique for bladder exstrophy-epispadias complex (BEEC) reconstruction and its comparison with the Modern Staged Repair of Exstrophy (MSRE) technique.
Materials And Methods: A comprehensive literature review of CPRE and MSRE was conducted, focusing on factors such as continence rates, postoperative outcomes, and complications. Various studies on pelvic biometry, surgical approaches, and long-term evaluations of renal function and continence were analyzed.
Diagnoses of postpartum urinary retention using next-generation non-piezo ultrasound technology: assessing the accuracy and benefits.

Postpartum urinary retention has a wide range of publicized incidences, likely caused by frequent misdiagnosis of this puerperal complication. Especially covert postpartum urinary retention has a high number of missed diagnoses due to the lack of symptoms and the time-extensive diagnostics via ultrasound, leading to no treatment and no appropriate follow-up. To simplify the diagnosis and establish a screening tool we analyzed the application of portable handheld-ultrasound devices (PUD) as used in Point-of-care diagnostics in comparison to established standard ultrasound devices (SUD).

It impairs quality of life, even in residents of nursing homes, and, in the community, increases the risk of institutionalisation. Care focused on the preservation of dignity during intimate care is important in the care of older adults.

Introduction: Dementia is a growing global health concern, projected to rise significantly as the population ages. This condition not only affects cognitive function but also increases the risk of chronic wounds in part due to impairments in mobility, self-care, and communication.
