  • Total Phallic Construction, Option to Gender Reassignment
    Advances in experimental medicine and biology, 2002
    Co-Authors: Gerald H. Jordan
    Abstract:

    Total phallic Construction was first accomplished by Borgoraz in Russia in 1936 (Borgoraz, 1936). He described a technique of tubed abdominal flap which was transposed to the area of the penis by techniques of flap delay. A number of authors used this technique with acceptable results. The phallus, so created, was insensible baculum dependent for rigidity, and often did not create a urethra to the tip of the phallus. Thus, patients were precluded from standing to void. The groin flap, as well as the gracilis musculocutaneous flap, were also used for phallic Construction. The cosmetic results of phallic Construction were greatly improved by Puckett (Puckett and Montie, 1978) using the groin flap, and eventually the groin flap was used as a microvascular free transfer. Again, prior to that, transposition of the phallus to the area of the penis was accomplished by methods of delay or in multiple stages. The same short comings, as already mentioned for the tubed abdominal flap, apply to these flaps.

  • Health Impact Assessment of Urban Development Project.
    Global journal of health science, 2016
    Co-Authors: Parisa Shojaei, Masoud Karimlou, Farahnaz Mohammadi, Hosein Malekafzali
    Abstract:

    BACKGROUND: Health impact assessment (HIA) has emerged to identify those activities and policies likely to have major impacts on the health of a population.METHOD: In this research, qualitative method was applied to identifying health determinants that urban man made lake affect on them, formatting and weighing the hierarchy of the factors, calculating AHP, and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method for decide and ranking alternatives.RESULTS: According to the results of the study, from the structural determinants point of view, the most positive effect of man-made lake was on Recreational services by 89.5% and the most negative one was on housing. According to intermediary determinants and general average, the most positive effect of lake was on physical activity and quality of air by 88.9% and the most negative one was on noise pollution by 46.7%. Ultimately, considering the positive and negative effects of lake between constructing and not constructing the lake Option, the Construction Option was selected.CONCLUSION: There is substantial potential to improve public health by bringing decision makers’ attention to the health consequences of their actions; city councilpersons, zoning commissioners, and other decision makers typically have little background in health.

  • Ranking the Effects of Urban Development Projects on Social Determinants of Health: Health Impact Assessment
    Global journal of health science, 2014
    Co-Authors: Parisa Shojaei, Masoud Karimlou, Jafar Nouri, Farahnaz Mohammadi, Hosein Malek Afzali, Ameneh Setareh Forouzan
    Abstract:

    BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: Health impact assessment (HIA) offer a very logical and interesting approach for those aiming to integrate health issues into planning processes. With a lot of works and plans waiting to be done (e.g., developing and updating plans, counseling planning commissions, cooperation with other organizations), planners find it difficult to prioritize health among a variety of possible issues and solutions they confront. METHODS: In the present article, first, the list of social determinants of health associated with Chitgar man-made lake was extracted out using a qualitative method and with content analysis approach, and then they were prioritized using analytic hierarchy process. RESULTS: 28 social determinants of health including "intermediary" and "structural" determinants were extracted out. Regarding positive effects of lake on these determinants, "recreational services" and "traffic" received the highest and the lowest weights with 0.895 and 0.638 respectively among structural determinants and with consideration to "Construction" Option. Furthermore, among intermediary determinants for "Construction" Option, sub-criteria of both "physical activity" and "air quality" received the final highest weight (0.889) and "pathogenesis" indicated the lowest weight with 0.617. Moreover, lake demonstrated the highest negative effects on "housing" among "structural" determinants which it takes the highest weight (0.476) in "non-Construction" Option. Additionally, lake had the highest negative effects on "noise pollution" among "intermediary determinants" and it takes the highest weight (0.467) in "non-Construction" Option. CONCLUSION: It has been shown that urban development projects such as green spaces, man-made lakes … have a huge range of effects on community's health, and having not considered these effects by urban planners and mangers is going to confront urban health with many challenges.
