© 2019 Journal of Pediatric Urology Company Introduction: Urinary incontinence is one of the most commonly treated disorders in children at school age. Recently, a new, wearable bladder sensor became available, the SENS-U Bladder Sensor. The SENS-U is a small, wireless ultrasonic sensor, which continuously monitors the bladder filling and provides a personalized notification when it is time to go to the toilet. In this study, the aim was to examine the performance of the SENS-U as a full-bladder–based notification system in children during daily life activities. Patients and methods: In this pilot study, children (6–16 years) who were admitted for an inpatient bladder training were included. Parallel to one training day, the child would wear the SENS-U to estimate the bladder filling and it informed the child when the bladder was almost full. When the child received a full-bladder notification, the child was taught to inform the urotherapist/researcher, in order to determine the level of response. Results: Fifteen patients (boys/girls: 7/8; mean age: 11.5 ± 1.7 years) were included. Based on a personalized volume-based threshold, the SENS-U notified these children of a full bladder with a median notification rate of 92.9%. In the remaining cases, children voided before the threshold was reached (e.g. defecation). Children responded positively to the notification of the SENS-U, resulting in a median level of response equal to 100%. Conclusion: The SENS-U was able to monitor the natural bladder filling accurately during activities of daily living and provided a personalized notification to the children when it was almost time to go to the toilet. Future research will focus on investigating the efficacy of the SENS-U compared to daily clinical practices.[Figure presented]

Different educational programs for the rapid recognition of stroke symptoms can be aimed at educating children and adolescents. Objective - to investigate the results of STOP-STROKE lessons at Moscow schools. Subject and methods. The Youth Council, Moscow Healthcare Department (MHD), in collaboration with the ORBI foundation gave open STOP-STROKE lessons among the pupils of Moscow schools. The investigation included the results of educating 29,653 4-10-form pupils who completed a specially designed questionnaire before and after the lecture that explained the main symptoms of stroke, as well as the actions to be taken when the latter was suspected. The lecture included the mnemonic test UDAR (blow) (U for smile, D for movement, A for aphasia, D for decision). Results. It was found that after education, there was better knowledge about stroke symptoms (aphasia, facial muscle weakness, and limb weakness) and actions to be taken when stroke was suspected. There was a significant increase in the number of children who correctly identified the three symptoms of the disease. Conclusion. The investigation demonstrated the effectiveness of the program. After being educated, the children can more quickly call for an ambulance if stroke occurs in a family member. Further investigations are needed to evaluate the effectiveness of these lectures, including in the long-term.
