Mind over FATTER; HOW OPERATION TRANSFORMATION DOC USES PSYCHOLOGY TO FIGHT FLAB
Byline: MAEVE QUIGLEY
OPERATION Transformation's resident psychologist says he wants to help the nation break our habits of comfort eating.
Dr Eddie Murphy believes a few simple steps can stop us from reaching for that bar of chocolate or packet of crisps when the going gets tough.
He said: "My motto is think complex, talk simple and what I want to do is to share some psychological ideas in a way that listeners and viewers will find helpful.
"The concept of the show is around transformation and I see it as more than just losing weight.
"It's all about health and well-being too.
"Some of the leaders - as well as the audience - say they want to lose weight and feel more confident, happier, more assertive.
"So there are emotional goals as well as physical ones."
Eddie added finding out what your mood is when you reach for the biscuits is an important way to break the cycle of comfort eating.
He said: "Most weight loss programmes get people to do food diaries to track their food intake.
"But the added value of the psychology approach to it is to look at doing a mood diary too where you are looking at food and mood together.
"You can then identify the times when you are indulging in emotional eating.
"Stress, anxiety and even boredom can trigger emotional eating.
"The activities that you are doing can also lead to comfort eating - sitting down watching TV and just instinctively grabbing that biscuit or bar of chocolate."
"But then by eating Mind and putting on weight, you end up feeling worse about yourself and so turn to that bag of crisps to cheer yourself up.
"And so the cycle starts again.
"The first step is identifying the times when you are most likely to comfort eat.
"Say, for example, one of the leaders Anna on the show. FAT
"Her husband works shifts and she is most likely to comfort-eat when he is at work and the child has gone to bed.
"It's a comfort habit - she makes a cup of tea, brings the biscuits to the chair and watches television. …

We hosted the very first Halls of Ivy Workshop last Wednesday with Kate of H&H Weddings, Jason of Getting Groomed and Jove Meyer Events at the industrial chic event space Atelier Roquette in Brooklyn. Inspired by "back to school," the day began with beautifully curated sweet and savory spreads and Champagne cocktails by Home/Made, followed by some networking action as guests dove into their lunchbox-inspired swag bag with snacks from Pop Karma and Swallow My Words, cheeky pencils from Earmark, swoon-worthy handmade recycled paper from White Dragon Paper and "notes from mom" wishing our attendees luck, calligraphed by Ink Revival.

A house filled with laughter, good food and great friends in beautiful Big Sur, Calif., set the scene for Ryen and Nate's elopement. They exchanged intimate vows on a covered porch, surrounded by their select few sitting wherever they could find a seat … rocking chairs, foldout chairs, on the stairs. The handsome, bearded creatives walked up to the porch in matching outfits — custom white button downs, dark denim, black Chuck Taylors and chambray ties — and a heartfelt ceremony followed. The simplicity of their celebration was beautifully executed, and Molly Gilholm Photography was there to capture all of the details, both large and small. (more…)
When I think of California weddings, this is what pops into my head. Spanish Revival architecture, lush florals and the perfect balance of boho and romantic. This shoot has all of that and more, captured by Kimberlee Miller Photography at Quail Ranch, a family owned and operated avocado farm located outside of Los Angeles and designed by Unique Floral Designs and Party Pleasers.

I love a good engagement shoot that makes me swoon out loud. Hannah Kate Photography had the opportunity to give Shaina and Derek's wedding venue, the gorgeous Spanish Oaks Ranch in California, a test run with this beautiful shoot. (P.S. all couples who book it as their wedding venue get a free engagement session held there!) Between the dripping Spanish moss trees, the way Hannah plays with the light and Shayna and Derek's intimate affection for each other, this romantic e-sesh is filled with genuine love, happiness and beauty.

With just five days left before our very first Halls of Ivy workshop, we're already feeling the buzz of excitement. You're joining us aren't you?

Yay, you're married! Congratulations! All the wedding things are packed up, you've returned from your honeymoon and now you're staring down the re-entry back to "normal" life … but it's different now.
You no longer have a wedding to plan. It's very likely that wedding planning has been a large part of your life since you got engaged — and for many that's at least a year. Having wedding-related to-dos is — er, was — part of your normal life. You bid adieu to ticking off the "single" box on official forms, you planned and executed an amazing celebration, then gallivanted off to somewhere gorgeous to spend time with your new spouse and nothing is going to be quite the same as it was. So how do you return to your everyday life knowing that something is different?
The Big Fake Wedding, one of Love, Inc.'s very fave industry events, hit New York on August 25 in gorgeous and grandiose style. This summer's event was so full of intriguing, inspiring and innovative details and I couldn't be more thrilled to share the deets with you guys.
For those that have never heard of The Big Fake Wedding, here's the lowdown: It's a wedding show unlike you've ever experienced (thank goodness, right?). Rather than being bombarded by booth after booth of eager vendors, event goers fill the role of "wedding guest," witnessing vendors in action as faux nuptials take place complete with ceremony, reception and a big ol' dance party. You get a firsthand look at how the event's vendor participants take the time to set up and implement fun wedding schemes given a predetermined color palette and inspiration board which they then interpret on their own table or in a designated space. If a couple falls in love with a vendor, they get the chance to meet them in a more traditional "booth" space, aptly named the "Tunnel of Love." Can I get a collective "awwwww"?
While the theme of event may have been bride-focused, the color palette and ideas implemented could span a multitude of weddings. With soft colors, strong accents and a unique vision, "European Sky" can translate to a gorgeous wedding no matter the budget or locale, especially in a stunningly raw venue like Houston Hall, this event's venue.

Exploring changes in open defecation prevalence in sub-Saharan Africa based on national level indices
1 Department of Environmental and Occupational Health, School of Public Health and Health Services, The George Washington University, 2100 M St. NW, Suite 203M, Washington, DC 20037, USA
2 Department of Healthcare Management, Korea University, Seoul, Republic of Korea
3 Department of Global Health, School of Public Health and Health Services, The George Washington University, 2175 K St. NW, Suite 200, Washington, DC 20037, USA
BMC Public Health 2013, 13:527 doi:10.1186/1471-2458-13-527Published: 30 May 2013
In sub-Saharan Africa, it is estimated that 215 million people continue to engage in open defecation. This practice facilitates the transmission of diarrheal diseases – one of the leading causes of mortality in children under 5 in sub-Saharan Africa. The main purpose of this study is to: estimate changes in open defecation prevalence between 2005 and 2010 across countries in sub-Saharan Africa; examine the association between national level indices and changes in open defecation prevalence; and assess how many countries can achieve 'open defecation free status' by 2015.
After applying selection criteria, this study analyzed country-level data for 34 sub-Saharan African countries. Seven country-level indices were collected: 1) presence of a national sanitation policy; 2) budget line for sanitation; 3) budget allocated to sanitation; 4) annual per capita GDP; 5) GDP growth; 6) implementation of total sanitation approaches; and 7) per capita aid disbursement for water supply and sanitation. The relationships between these country-level indices and the change in open defecation from 2005 to 2010 were investigated using Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test and Spearman's rank correlation test.
Only 3 countries (i.e. Ethiopia, Angola and Sao Tome and Principe) decreased open defecation by 10% or more between 2005 and 2010. No significant associations were observed between the change in open defecation prevalence and all of national level indices except per capita aid disbursement. Per capita aid disbursement for water and sanitation was positively associated with a reduction in open defecation (p-value = 0.02) for a subset of 29 low-income countries from 2005 to 2010. Only one country in our analysis, Angola, is on track to end open defecation by 2015 based on their performance between 2000 and 2010.
Most of the national level indices, including a country's economic status, were not associated with the change in the open defecation prevalence. Based on current trends, the goal of ending open defecation in the majority of sub-Saharan African countries by 2015 will not be achieved. Our findings may be limited by the exploratory nature of this analysis, and future research is required to identify and characterize national level factors specific to reducing open defecation in sub-Saharan Africa.

NIGHTMARE at Rafah Crossing
Expand Messages
- 28 Palestinians die at Rafah Crossing
Date: 07 / 07 / 2007
Palestinians waiting at Rafah (MaanImages)
Gaza Ma'an Director of the ambulance and emergency
department in the Palestinian ministry of health, Dr
Mu'awiya Hassanein, on Saturday announced the deaths
of 28 Palestinians who had been trapped at Rafah
Crossing, between Egypt and the Gaza Strip, since the
1st of June.
Dr Hassanein said that the Palestinian health ministry
was able to deliver the corpses to the Gaza Strip,
through the Kerem Shalom Crossing, with the
coordination of the Egyptian ambulance services.
All of the deceased were Palestinians who had
travelled to Egypt for medical treatment. They died
due to the lack of medical care provided to some 4,000
Palestinians waiting at the crossing to return to the
The corpses were held in morgues in Egypt, before
arrangements were made to return them to Gaza.
Hassanein said that the continued closure of the
crossing is extremely dangerous, especially as 20% of
waiting Palestinians are suffering from chronic health
Among the dead were women, children and the elderly.
There are also heavily-pregnant women waiting at the
Hassanein expressed his appreciation of the Egyptian
ambulance services that aided the passage of the
corpses and offered humanitarian services.
The families of the trapped Palestinians are powerless
to help; they have held demonstrations and rallies
calling for the reopening of the crossings. The
stranded citizens have also sent appeals from their
mobile phones to TV stations.
Hamas held a rally on Saturday, demanding the
reopening of Rafah Crossing.
A Palestinian girl, Amal Habib, told Ma'an that she
has seventeen family members trapped at Rafah
Abbas's popularity at its lowest ebb
Palestinian Information Center (PIC)
July 4, 2007
RAMALLAH, (PIC)-- An opinion poll conducted by the website of the
Palestinian Al-Quds newspaper has shown that PA chief Mahmoud Abbas's
popularity was at its lowest ebb with only 13.47% voting for him as
president if elections were held now.
The poll further said that if an honest election process was held
Ismail Haneyya, premier of the caretaker government, would win 51.47%
of the votes, which is 38% more than Abbas.
The poll further indicated that Marwan Al-Barghouthi, a detained Fatah
leader in Israeli jails, would only get 12.16% of the votes while Dr.
Mustafah Al-Barghouthi, leader of the National Initiative party, would
only get 5.93% of the total votes.
It further showed that Salam Fayyad, the premier of the so-called
emergency government, would win the least of votes with 4.93%.

Palestinian refugees from Iraq heading to Brazil
AMMAN , 4 July 2007 (IRIN) - After spending over four years
languishing in a refugee camp in the Jordanian desert, 100 Palestinian
refugees from Iraq will finally be heading to their new home - Brazil.
A statement by the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), said the group, which
includes children and the elderly, will start moving from Rweished
refugee camp, 60km from the Jordanian-Iraqi border, to Brazil by
"The UNHCR is grateful to. the government of Brazil for resettling an
estimated 100 Palestinian refugees who formerly lived in Iraq," said
the statement made available to IRIN.
The refugees will be sent to their new country in three batches, with
priority given to the elderly and families with children.
According to the plan, an estimated 22 families will be settled in Sao
Paulo state, while 18 families will go to Rio Grande do Sul, in the
southeast and southern regions of Brazil, said the statement.
Unaccompanied elderly refugees will be settled in a home for the
elderly where medical treatment is to be provided.
Assistance for 24 months
All will receive rented accommodation, furniture and material
assistance for up to 24 months. Employment profiles are being analysed
to ensure job opportunities for all, while a network of volunteers and
local communities is being established to provide moral support during
their integration.
Children will attend classes in Portuguese, before being enrolled in
Brazilian schools in March 2008.
The group is currently receiving training by a team of humanitarian
professionals from Brazil on Brazilian culture and is being given
Portuguese lessons.
Rweished refugee camp
The Jordanian government set up the camp in 2003 in the middle of the
desert with the help of international humanitarian groups to
accommodate an expected influx of refugees in light of the war on Iraq.
The camp housed more than 2,000 people during the first days of war,
before the Jordanian authorities decided to stop receiving more asylum
seekers for fear of attracting millions of refugees from the war-torn
Over the past four years, most of the refugees - from Sudan, Iran,
Kurdistan, Iraq and Palestine - were resettled in third countries
including Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Scandinavian countries and
the USA.
Residents of the Rweished camp have been complaining of arduous living
conditions due to the extreme weather, with blinding sandstorms in
summer and bone-penetrating cold in winter.
"[Camp residents] have faced extremely harsh conditions in a dusty and
scorpion-infested desert camp with nowhere to go," said the statement.
The Palestinians are the first group of refugees from outside Latin
America to benefit from the "solidarity resettlement programmes" which
were proposed in the 2004 Mexico Plan of Action, the statement said.
Humanitarian solution
The plan, which was adopted by 20 Latin American countries, has so far
only benefited refugees from the region - mainly Colombians. Brazil's
offer will provide a humanitarian solution for Palestinians who have
been in the Jordanian camp since 2003.
The UNHCR office in Brazil will also help the new arrivals better
integrate into the Brazilian community by hiring bilingual
(Arabic-Portuguese) staff who will be trained in Palestinian
traditions and culture.
With the departure of the Palestinian refugees, only a handful of
Iraqi families will be left facing an uncertain future.
Jordan, already hosting 1.2 million Palestinian refugees and nearly
700,000 Iraqis, repeatedly has threatened to shut down the camp and
transfer the residents to the border. Officials from the UNHCR,
however, were able to persuade Jordanian officials to keep the camp
open until a permanent solution was found for the group.

I applied online. I interviewed at JEA (Jacksonville, FL).
The whole thing was a horrible joke, and the joke was one me. They first contacted me about salary requirements. Then they wanted a copy of my college transcript from 20 years earlier. No telephone screening or anything. They asked me to come in (from out of state) as a final candidate and offered only two possible interview timeslots. I opted for 8 am. No one was there to meet me on time. They brought me up late (starting late) and ended punctually. The questions were written in advance and one could not ask questions. In the end, it was apparent that they were going through the obligatory motions but were promoting from within.

- This scene does not have any comments yet!
From the very first moment these two horny young homosexuals were put together in the same dorm room, the sexual tension has been mounting. The two studs, one brunette and one a redhead, soon choose who will be top and bottom, with the redhead being the more masculine and dominant of the two. On this horny gay night their lust for one another explodes, and they get naked on the couch, pressing their hard and muscular young bodies together. The brunette eagerly suckles his roommate's stiff cock, feeling his own penis grow rock hard as he takes the dick down the back of his throat. Then he takes it from every angle up his tight butt.

5 Things We Learned from the First GOP Primary Debate
1. This Debate Was Too Early
When there's a lightning round at the end of the debate about the major candidates who aren't on stage, it's a sign that the field is too unsettled to have the debate in the first place. It's a shame, not just because it created a hazy read on what issues will come to dominate. It also wasted what turned out to be effective, pointed questioning by the Fox News moderators.
2. More People Will Learn Tim Pawlenty's Name
He admitted from the stage that he's got still got major name recognition work to do, which is why it was a good strategic play to get in front of the debate cameras. Still, former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawenty stood alone as a candidate ready for the national stage.
He got his digs in early to the other candidates who didn't show up, but more impressive was his pivot when he was asked directly about his previous support for cap-and-trade in Minnesota. Pawlenty confronted it directly, calling it a mistake. He chalked it up to one of a few inevitable wrong decisions given his long executive experience.
Pawlenty also showed off his defensive debating skills and contained what could be future ammo against him, like when he repeatedly dodged a question asking his personal position on evolution — saying that whether to teach it should be left up to local school boards.
3. Look for Attacks on Health Care Costs
With Mitt Romney presumably in the field (but not at this debate), look for more pointed criticism of the limited cost containment measures in the federal health care legislation and in Massachusetts, where Romney oversaw passage of heath care reform as governor. This allows the one-two philosophical-economic punch: the new law isn't just too much government, it'll also break your wallet.
And that's an attractive argument with gas prices over 4 dollars and voters still concerned about a sluggish job market. After all, as Rep. Ron Paul said from the stage, "people vote with their bellies," meaning presumably, on economic issues.
4. You May Need to Google "Unallotment" and "Minnesota"
It'll get you in the weeds fast, but this came up when Pawlenty was asked about how he closed budget gaps in Minnesota without raising taxes. He went on to give too much detail about the state's budget cycle and how you can fiddle with the math to argue that he left the state with a projected deficit, but it does get to a central question: what kind of budget tricks did Pawlenty use to not raise taxes. With the debt ceiling vote and ongoing debate about borrowing and the minutiae of fiscal accounting, Pawlenty's "unallotment" battle with the legislature and the state Supreme Court may just warrant more attention.
5. Donald Who?
First, there were those jokes at the White House Correspondents Dinner, then his poor showing in the latest poll in New Hampshire, and now this: Donald Trump only came up in questions to New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson, the pro-drug legalization candidate who was treated as the fringe candidate in a field of unknown candidates -- so much so that at one point, he broke in to to complain that he wasn't getting enough questions. So he did get this question near the end -- if, like Trump, he had a reality show, what would that be about, which led to a rambling answer about climbing Mount Everest, running marathons, Sarah Palin "climbing on her hands and knees", and finally, to the conclusion that the Gary Johnson reality show would be about fitness.
So maybe, just maybe, that will be the last reality show question of the 2012 campaign cycle. Which means, on second thought, maybe this first debate didn't come soon enough.

All Marketplace plans must cover Essential Health Benefits
2. All Marketplace plans must cover Essential Health Benefits
Regardless of whether you choose a Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum plan, certain essential health benefits must be covered and your copayments and coinsurance for them count towards your deductible. These services include:
- Addiction treatment
- Ambulatory patient services
- Care for newborns and children
- Chronic disease treatment (such as diabetes and asthma)
- Emergency services
- Hospitalization
- Laboratory services
- Maternity care
- Mental health services
- Occupational and physical therapy
- Prescription drugs
- Preventive and wellness services (such as vaccines and cancer screenings)
- Speech-language therapy
Tip: These are minimum requirements. Many plans have additional benefits, so it's important to look at the summary of benefits for any plan that you are considering to make sure it fits your budget and needs.
3. You might qualify for lower monthly premiums and out-of-pocket expenses
Many people will qualify for new federal subsidies that can help lower health costs, both the premiums and the care itself. When you get coverage through the Marketplace, you may be eligible for:
- Cost-Sharing Reductions, which help lower out-of-pockets costs such as deductibles, co-pays and coinsurance; and
- Advanced Premium Tax Credits, which reduce the amount you pay each month for your insurance premium.
Both subsidies are available only to qualified individuals who are:
- Ineligible for public coverage (Medicaid, Medicare and Children's Health Insurance Plan)
- Unable to get qualified health insurance through an employer
Any savings are based on your family size and income. The Kaiser Family Foundation Calculator is a useful online tools that lets you enter your income level, family size, and ages of family members to get an estimate of your eligibility for subsidies, and what your insurance premiums might cost you.
In order to take advantage of Cost-Sharing Reductions, you must purchase a Silver plan on the Marketplace and your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) must fall below these maximums:
|Family Size
|Up to $28,725
|Up to $38,775
|Up to $48,825
|Up to $58,875
|Up to $68,925
|Up to $78,975
|Up to $89,025
|Up to $99,075
Tip: Your modified adjusted gross income is your household's adjust gross income plus any tax-exempt Social Security, interest and foreign income.
Advanced Premium Tax Credits are sent directly from the government to your health insurer and are applied to your premium each month. You must apply for this subsidy on the Health Insurance Marketplace. Unlike the Cost-Sharing Reduction, you do not have to buy the Silver plan; however, you still must meet certain income requirements, based on family size:
|Family Size
|Income Range
|$11,490 to $45,960
|$15,510 to $62,040
|$19,530 to $78,120
|$23,550 to $94,200
|$27,570 to $110,280
|$31,590 to $126,360
|$35,610 to $142,440
|$39,630 to $158,520
Tip: The amount of tax credit you receive depends on your income; you will pay more for your premiums if your income is near the top of the range and less if your income falls closer to the bottom. If your income falls below the range for your family size, you may qualify for coverage under your state's Medicaid program.If you can afford it, you will need minimum essential coverage

Electile penile impotence results from various functional and organic causes. Its management has always been a difficult problem to urologists and other physicians. Adequate evaluation of the impotent man must include endocrine studies, psychiatric counseling and complete urological examination. However, if the patient has an organic type of erectile impotence or does not respond to psychiatric, endocrine or urological therapy, the physician may then consider surgical implantation of a penile prosthesis.
There are several penile prostheses known in the art. A first prosthesis is a single and simple "rod like" device adapted to be implanted in between the corpora cavernosa of the penis under the Buck's fascia. It is made of a suitable semi-rigid elastomeric material, such as silicone rubber.
One of the problems usually encountered with this known prosthesis is that it does not afford consistently a good penile stability and rigidity for adequate sexual intercourse. Another problem with this "rod gentle prosthesis stems from the fact that if it is not properly implanted well under the pubic bone, the penis may buckle at its base, and thus will make sexual intercourse impossible or very uncomfortable. In addition, since the prosthesis is of a rigid type, the penis is maintained in a permanent state of erection. This may create cosmetic difficulties as well as psychological problems to the patient, and occasionally, penile discomfort. Furthermore, if the prosthesis is not properly implanted between the corpora, it may erode through the urethra or through the glans penis causing infection, pain and much trouble to the patient, including further surgery. Finally, there have been cases where the prosthesis has been accidentally broken, thereby creating great discomfort and frustration to the bearer, and also requiring supplementary surgery.
A second type of known penile prosthesis consists of a "rod like" body with a silicone sponge interior, encased in a firmer silicone coat. The tail end of this prosthesis is slightly more rigid than the body. The prosthesis is implanted in pairs, one prosthesis within each corpus cavernosum of the penis. This prosthesis usually gives a satisfactory penile erection for adequate intercourse. However, being of the rigid type, the prosthesis gives a permanent penile erection with occasional mild penile discomfort and, at times, psychological embarrassment to the patient who engages in active sports.
Another known prosthesis in the art is the so-called inflatable penile prosthesis which is a relatively complex apparatus. Essentially, it consists of two distensible and fairly long "finger like" bodies that are surgically inserted within the corpora cavernosa. From each distensible body there extends a long and flexible conduit going to a fluid reservoir that is placed in the lower abdomen under the fat pad and above the stomach muscles. From this reservoir four additional tubes extend of two pumping devices (two tubes to each pumping device) implanted in the upper scrotum; one on each side. The need for placing the larger reservoir in the lower abdomen stems from the fact that each body of the penile prosthesis is inflatable in its entire length, and accordingly, a substantial amount of fluid is required, usually on the order of 30 to 40 cubic centimeters for each inflatable body. Furthermore, interposed in each of the four tubes is a suitable valve (a total of 4 valves) which allows the flow of water or fluid in one direction or another depending on whether the patient desires to have a penile erection or a detumescence. Because of the four tiny and complex valves which this prosthesis requires to operate and because of the bulky fluid reservoir, the length and number of the connecting tubes traveling from the penis to the midabdomen and from there to the scrotum where the two pumping devices are placed, plus the two very delicate elongated inflatable penile prostheses, it is possible that this complex mechanism may malfunction at one point or another, failing thereby to achieve its intended purpose with great frustration to the patient. In addition, this malfunction would require further surgery and extra parts for the replacement of the jammed component or components. In view of the complexities and potential complications inherent in this prosthetic device, as well as the extensive and meticulous surgery which is required for its correct implantation, the practical use of this prosthesis is limited. An additional shortcoming of this prosthetic device is its relatively high cost, plus the high costs associated with hospitalization and the surgeon's fee, thereby making its clinical application almost prohibitive.
The prosthesis of the subject invention overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art. Its principal objectives are to provide a more comfortable, simpler, cosmetically pleasing, reasonably priced and highly efficient mechanical device for the management of penile erectile impotence.
It is a primary and essential feature of the subject invention to provide a prosthesis which has the benefits of being both in part semi-rigid and in part inflatable, particularly, where such features are most desirable, i.e. rigid at the root of the penis and inflatable at the pendulous portion of the penis.
Another important feature of the subject invention is the simple construction and compact assemblage of the entire prosthesis with hardly any possibility left for malfunction. Still, other additional features are its reduced price, particularly; when compared with the "all inflatable prosthesis" of the prior art and its simplicity in the surgical implantation, minimizing the potential problems which are usually associated with other prostheses.
In general, the subject penile erectile prosthesis comprises a body member having a non-distensible portion and a distensible body portion, with the latter being connected by suitable conduit means to a fluid supply source, and valve means being provided to control the flow of fluid between the distensible portion and the fluid supply means. The non-distensible portion is preferably made of plastic material, such as Silastic, which is semi rigid, and is adapted to be implanted into the root end of the corpus cavernosum of a penis. The distensible body portion is preferably formed unitary with said non-distensible portion, an is surgically implanted into the tunica end of the corpus cavernosum. Two such body members are provided, one for each corpus cavernosum, with each of the distensible body portions being connected by suitable conduits, including valve means, which extend to the fluid reservoir preferably surgically implanted in the scrotal sac.
More specifically, the subject penile prosthesis includes:
1. An elongated body which is distensible and comprises the distal 2/3 of the penile prosthesis.
2. A cylindrical or "tail-like" part with a tapering end which is semi-rigid and non-distensible and comprises the proximal 1/3 of the prosthesis.
These two components No. 1 and No. 2 are united or bonded together to make a single unit and as such, is implanted surgically into each corpus cavernosum of the penis.
3. A connecting conduit or tube which goes from inside each distensible body of the prosthesis, to the underlying fluid containing reservoir.
4. A "ball like" fluid reservoir which also serves as a pumping device comprises the 4th component of this prosthesis.
5. A suitable valve which is interposed between the connecting tube and the neck of the fluid reservoir, constitutes the 5th and last component of this prosthesis.
While components No. 3 and No. 4 and No. 5 are usually implanted through the same perineal incision as components No. 1 and No. 2, they are positioned as follows: No. 5 and No. 4 in the upper scrotum and No. 3 in the perineal structures, between the upper scrotal compartment and the crura of the penis.
The material which can be used for the construction of all parts or components of the subject prosthesis must, of course, be non-reactive, non-toxic and well tolerated by the adjacent organic tissues. In addition, it must be resistent to the usual wear and tear and remain "healthy" and functional with the passage of time. All these requirements are met by medical grade silicone rubber.
Specific details relative to the subject invention will be fully described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a partial sectional view of the subject penile prosthesis in a deflated condition as surgically implanted in a male wherein the penis is in a semi-flaccid state;
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 2--2 in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a view similar to FIG. 1 except that the prosthesis is fully inflated;
FIG. 4 is a view taken along line 4--4 in FIG. 3.
FIG. 1 shows a sagital view of a penis 10, scrotal sac 12 which carries testicles 14 and tunica vaginalis 16. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the penis 10 includes a skin surface 18, Buck's fascia 20, the urethra 22, and two corpus cavernosum, designated by the numerals 24 and 26.
As shown in FIGS. 1 through 4, penile prosthesis 30 basically comprises a semi-rigid non-distensible portion or tail 32 which is preferably formed unitary with an inflatable or distensible body portion 34, with the distensible body portion in communication with a fluid supply means. The latter includes a reservoir 36 that is surgically implanted in the scrotal sac 12, and which contains a suitable fluid 38 such as distilled water, with the reservoir 36 being connected to the distensible body portion 34 by a conduit 40, a portion 42 of which extends into the distensible portion 34 and includes a plurality of apertures 44. For controlling the flow of fluid between the reservoir and the distensible portion 34, suitable valve means 46 are provided which allows the flow in one way or another, and as the patient may desire. Thus, all the components of this prosthetic device such as the semi-rigid tail 32, the distensible body 34, the connecting tubes 40 and 42, the valve 46, and the reservoir 36, constitute a compact unit which can be assembled with ease and implanted surgically without difficulties and through one incision. The complete device consists of two penile prostheses 30, one for each corpus cavernosum, two connecting tubes 40, one for each prosthesis 30, two valves 46, one for each prosthesis 30, and two reservoirs 36, one for each unit. The prosthetic device can be simplified by eliminating one reservoir 36, and one valve 46. In this case, a Y-type of connecting tube 40' is used to join the reservoir with both distensible bodies 34, of the penile prosthesis 30, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4.
Each non-distensible portion 32 of the penile prosthesis is semi-rigid and made of a plastic material such as silicone. This "tail-like" part of the prosthesis is surgically implanted at the root of each corpus cavernosum well under the puboischiatic rami. The distensible or inflatable bodies 34 have very thin walls, and are also made of silicone. They have an elongated configuration and are inserted within the tunica of the corpora cavernosa all the way up to the glans penis. To facilitate this maneuver at the tip of each distensible body a perforated patch 48 of silicone can be supplied, through which a fine thread of silk can be passed and exteriorized with the aid of a needle through the upper surface of the glans penis. By pulling gently on this thread of silk from the outside the prosthesis can be introduced all the way into the cropus cavernosum.
The fluid reservoir 36, which also functions as a pumping device, is spherical or pear shaped and it is easily implanted in the upper part of the scrotal sac 12. The capacity of this reservoir may vary from 20-30 c.c. or from 50-60 c.c. depending on whether two or one reservoirs are used. The walls of the reservoir are thin and elastic. Furthermore, they can be compressed easily by gentle squeezing with two or more fingers from the outside of the scrotum 12, in order to provide sufficient pressure for forcing fluid 38, through the valve 46, and through the conduit 40 into the distensible body portion 34.
If desired, at the surface of the reservoir there may be provided a small addible 39, which is designed for easier location and safe refilling of the fluid content as required. It is suggested that by merely puncturing the scrotal wall 12 and the addible 39 with a fine hypodermic needle attached to a syringe, additional fluid 38 may be injected into the reservoir 36.
The valve means 46, interposed between the reservoir and the fluid conduit 42 may also be made of silicone and constructed as a flap valve, ball valve, ring valve or any other suitable type.
A penile erection as provoked by the filling of the distensible body of the properly implanted prosthesis of the subject invention, is illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4. As already indicated above, by gentile squeezing of the reservoir 36, fluid 38 is pumped through the valve 46 into the conduit 40 and transferred into each distensible body portion 34 until such time as the penis has a strong erection for adequate sexual intercourse. Following intercourse, it is merely necessary for the man to squeeze gently with two fingers the valve 46 from the outside, in order to drain the pressurized fluid from the distended portions of the penile prosthesis 34, back into the empty reservoir 36. This maneuver can be facilitated if the penis is also squeezed manually while the valve is maintained opened with the other hand. Once this part has been completed, the penis will become flaccid as is the case in any normal man after sexual intercourse, so that these patients can engage in all sorts of sports and activities without the fear of embarrassment.
Accordingly, a new and improved prosthesis for the management of erectile penile impotence is provided. This prosthesis can be easily manufactured, readily assembled, and surgically implanted without difficulty. Furthermore, due to its structural and functional simplicity, it is expected that potential complications will be minimal. Other advantages of the subject penile prosthesis when compared with prior art devices include: the small size of the reservoir 36, the use of one valve only 46, (maximum two valves) and a very short conduit 40. Furthermore, the subject prosthesis has a solid "tail-like" portion 32, which provides increased stability when the penis becomes erected, while it decreases considerably the volume of fluid needed for an adequate erection.
The subject prosthetic device as has been described and illustrated as being made of silicone. However, it will be realized that other suitable materials may also be used.
To those skilled in the art to which this invention relates, many changes in constructions and widely different embodiments and applications of the subject device will suggest themselves without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. The disclosures and descriptions herein are purely illustrative and are not intended to be in any sense limiting.

Anyone get accepted into their choice of nursing school for the fall 2012?
0 Hey everyone! Im very curious to see if anyone has gotten any acceptance letters from their choice of nursing program to start for FALL 2012! I've applied to NVCC, BHSN, and St. Vincents.
So far I've gotten an acceptance letter from st. vincents!
I'm still very anxious and checking the mail everyday to hear back from BHSN and NVCC. For the communtiy colleges we prolly won't hear back until around March. But I heard they are sending out letters from BHSN.
Hope everyone gets into their school of choice! Please feel free to post if you gotten into any schools!
