Penile Prostheses

Definition

Penile prostheses are semirigid or inflatable devices that are implanted into penises to alleviate impotence.

Purpose

The penis is composed of one channel for urine and semen and three compartments with tough, fibrous walls containing "erectile tissue." With appropriate stimulation, the blood vessels that lead out of these compartments constrict, trapping blood. Blood pressure fills and hardens the compartments producing an erection of sufficient firmness to perform sexual intercourse. Additional stimulation leads to ejaculation, where semen is pumped out of the urethra. When this system fails, impotence (failure to create and maintain an erection) occurs.

Impotence can be caused by a number of conditions, including diabetes, spinal cord injury, prolonged drug abuse, and removal of a prostate gland. If the medical condition is irreversible, a penile prosthesis may be considered. Patients whose impotence is caused by psychological problems are not recommended for implant surgery.

Description

Penile implant surgery is conducted on patients who have exhausted all other areas of treatment. The semirigid device consists of two rods that are easier and less expensive to implant than the inflatable cylinders. Once implanted, the semirigid device needs no follow-up adjustments, however it produces a penis which constantly remains semi-erect. The inflatable

The inflatable implant is a common penile prosthesis. This device connects through a tube to a flexible fluid reservoir and a pump. The pump is shaped like a testicle and inserted in the scrotum. When the pump is squeezed, the fluid is forced into the inflatable cylinders implanted inside the penis, producing an erection.

cylinders produce a more natural effect. The patient is able to simulate an erection by using a pump located in the scrotum.

With the patient asleep under general anesthesia, the device is inserted into the erectile tissue of the penis through an incision in the fibrous wall. In order to implant the pump for the inflatable implant, incisions are made in the abdomen and the perineum (area between the anus and the genitals). A fluid reservoir is inserted into the groin and the pump is placed in the scrotum. The cylinders, reservoir, and pump are connected by tubes and tested before the incisions are closed.

Preparation

Surgery always requires an adequately informed patient, both as to risks and benefits. In this case, the sexual partner should also be involved in the discussion. Prior to surgery, antibacterial cleansing occurs and the surrounding areas are shaved.

Aftercare

To minimize swelling, ice packs are applied to the penis for the first 24 hours following surgery. The incision sites are cleansed daily to prevent infection. Pain relievers may be taken.

Risks

With any implant, there is a slightly greater risk of infection. The implant may irritate the penis and cause continuous pain. The inflatable prosthesis may need follow-up surgery to repair leaks in the reservoir or to reconnect the tubing.

Can women work underground in British coal mines?

There certainly are. The industrial revolution really started in the UK in the 1700's because of having coal and iron ore, and steam engines were invented and developed here before other countries, and used to a great extent on railways and shipping in the 1800's. The main coal fields were in the north of England, in Scotland, and in South Wales. Anthracite (a very hard dense form of coal) from S Wales was particularly in demand for steam engines.

In recent years coal mining has reduced a lot and many mines have closed, but some are still active.

What is the lowest paying job?

The lowest hourly rates are usually earned by waiters and waitresses. These are among only a few jobs where employers can legally pay less than the minimum wage. I believe the current minimum for wait staff is about $2.50 per hour. Of course, a good waiter can bring home more than $100 per day in tips. The jobs with the lowest total salary would be those earning the minimum wage -- currently about $5.25 per hour. This includes a variety of positions, including busperson, janitor, some security guards and other unskilled labor. yeah , and it also depend on your area or state , like the pay rate in ct is different from FL , for exemple me and a friend had our first job from the same compagny but diff state , they started me with 8.50 /h and she was getting 5.25 ,, cuz Fl is cheaper than CT ,, so I ll conclude by saying that cashiers , CNAs, housekeepers , clerks , have the lowest salary ( 10.000 to 25.000/year)

What type of justice was dispensed in mining towns when suspected criminals were run out of town or hung without benefit of judges or juries?

In mining towns where suspected criminals were run out of town or hanged without the benefit of judges or juries, this was typically vigilante justice. It involved local residents taking the law into their own hands due to a lack of established legal infrastructure. Vigilante justice was often seen as necessary in remote areas where law enforcement was ineffective.

How did the new mining towns enforce law as and keep the peace?

New mining towns often relied on a system of law enforcement known as vigilante justice, where residents banded together to enforce the law and maintain peace. This typically involved appointed sheriffs, community watch groups, and informal justice systems. In some cases, mining companies would also hire private security to help maintain order.

What caused the frequent violence to break out in mining camps?

Frequent violence in mining camps was often caused by a combination of factors such as overcrowding, competition for resources, disputes over claims, cultural tensions, lack of law enforcement, and presence of rough characters attracted to the potential for quick wealth. These volatile conditions often led to conflicts, fights, and even killings among miners and prospectors.

In mining communities, women often contributed to the household income through various means, including working in support roles such as cooking, cleaning, and laundry for miners. Some women engaged in small-scale trading or selling goods and services to miners and their families. Additionally, a number of women took on jobs in nearby businesses, such as general stores or boarding houses, which catered to the mining population. Their contributions were crucial for the economic survival of their families in these challenging environments.
