Masculine Gendered Space
No full textThis paper draws on a programme of research examining the benefit of men’s sheds in the Australian context. Firstly, the author clears some contentious ground regarding women’s disadvantage and equality and acknowledges the position that has been made by feminists relating to the implications of unequal distribution of materials and resources and puts forward a case that uneven distribution of resources cannot only restrict many women but also some men. The author examines men’s health status in Australia and drawing from a programme of research discusses the link between men’s shed involvement and health and wellbeing benefits. The paper makes use of Sen’s Capabilities Approach to put forward the case that men’s sheds in the Australian context provide a space where enabling capabilities developed through meaningful activities can benefit men relating to health and wellbeing outcomes

Men's learning in Portugal
No full textEdited by Barry Golding, Rob Mark and Annette FoleyIn the last three decades, rapid changes in Portuguese society have affected almost all dimensions of life in Portugal. The Portuguese population recognises a mix of traditional and modern in their normative cultural and social systems, which both operate simultaneously. Medeiros (1988) arguest that there are no solutions of continuity between these normative systems, indicative of hybridisations that potentially lead to tensions. This hybrid mix includes Portuguese approaches to gender and masculinities. In this chapter, we examine different theoretical positions on gender, masculinities and men's learning in contemporary Portuguese society, informed by a European learning partnership study of men learning in the community. We include some initial results of the Portuguese strand of this study, including some provisional conclusions which guide our ongoing research based around a case study of men involved in a Portuguese fishing club. Portugal is a society in transition, where gender roles are currently being redefined. As this process unfolds, we conclude from our research that some men seek out space in which to learn from each other, whether informally or through self-directed learning.Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologi

The case for some men's spaces
No full textMy intention in this chapter is to address what could be seen as some tensions associated with the importance and value of gendered spaces in particular contexts. The gendered spaces that I refer to are those such as men’s sheds, where older men can come together and develop friend-ships, form community bonds, share life experiences and skills and, as a consequence, attain health benefits that have direct and positive impacts on their families and their communities (Golding et al., 2007). This chapter will put forward the case that in certain circumstances there is room for the existence and support of community gendered spaces for men that have the capacity to develop capabilities for individual agency (Sen, 1992).I write this chapter with some reservations about what Rowan et al. (2002, p. 5) describe as the ‘dangerous or hostile terrain’ of gendered masculine spaces, with the associated concerns from some commenta-tors that research which identifies men’s disadvantage might take the focus off funding or support for programmes which address women’s disadvantage, in terms of women’s participation in – and outcomes from – education and training more broadly (Golding, Foley and Brown, 2008). For this purpose, I want to clear some ground by clarifying the intentions of the chapter and, by doing so, dispel some of the tensions around this argument. ..."From introduction
Use of Foley catheter in control of internal carotid hemorrhage during endoscopic endonasal surgery
No full textInternal carotid artery (ICA) injuries during endoscopic endonasal surgery (EES) are rare life-threatening events. We describe a technique to manage ICA injuries based on the use of Foley catheters.A 26-year-old female underwent endoscopic transnasal trans-sphenoidal removal of pituitary adenoma. Cerebrospinal fluid leak occurred 4 days postoperatively. During repair procedure, accidental injury of ICA occurred. Emergency nasal packing through positioning of four Foley urologic catheters was successfully performed to stop bleeding. The patient did not report neurologic deficits.In author’s opinion, Foley catheters are suitable to obtain immediate bleeding control since they are rapidly available and easily usable

Internal Podalic Version and Extraction the Decreasing Incidence at a General Hospital
No full textDuring his Residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology the author was impressed with the infrequency of internal podalic version and extraction at his institution. This procedure seemed to be relegated to a minor role in the handling of difficult obstetrical problems. The thought occurred that a perusal of the past record of versions at this hospital might in itself give tile clue to the apparent decreasing incidence and also possibly serve as a yardstick of the improvement in obstetrical care In a general hospital. | This study covers the years from January 1, 1926, to July 1, 1948. For purposes of comparison these years are divided into five-year periods, with the exception of the last period concerned, which is two and one-half years in length. The total number of births considered is 21,425 with a total number of 167 versions.ProQuest Traditional Publishing Optio
