Springer Verlag, Singapore African Womanhood and Incontinent Bodies: Kenyan
Book SynopsisThis book reveals the structures of poverty, power, patriarchy and imperialistic health policies that underpin what the World Health Organization calls the “hidden disease” of vaginal fistulas in Africa. By employing critical feminist and post-colonial perspectives, it shows how “leaking black female bodies” are constructed, ranked, stratified and marginalised in global maternal health care, and explains why women in Africa are at risk of developing vaginal fistulas and then having adequate treatment delayed or denied. Drawing on face-to-face, in-depth interviews with 30 Kenyan women, it paints a rare social portrait of the heartbreaking challenges for Kenyan women living with this most profound gender-related health issue – an experience of shame, taboo and abjection with severe implications for women’s wellbeing, health and sexuality. In absolutely groundbreaking depth, this book shows why research on vaginal fistulas must incorporate feminist understandings of bodily experience to inform future practices and knowledge.Table of ContentsExploring African Feminisms: Context, Positioning, and Making the Personal Political.- Two: The Problem of Vaginal Fistulas: Dimensions and Trends.- African Women, Gender, Health, and Sexuality: Theoretical Considerations.- Vaginal Fistulas and Structural Disadvantage.- Rationalising Fistulas: A Cultural Influence and Response.- Flawed Bodies, Blackness, and Incontinence.- Recreating African Womanhood and Rewriting Our Stories: Bringing the Narratives to a Close.- References.- Index.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Factors Influencing Child Survival in Tanzania:
Book SynopsisThis book addresses the essential topic of child survival in Tanzania, especially focusing on the role of mutual assistance, which has received little attention to date. Further, it identifies a range of key factors for child survival by combining a literature review, regional data analysis, and case studies. These studies center on rural villages in high Under-5 mortality rate (U5MR) regions and assess their strengths and weaknesses regarding child survival. By focusing on deprived rural areas as of 2002 and evaluating the improvements in the 2012 census data, the book also highlights the potential held by rural semi -subsistence economies. An analysis of the focus villages indicates that children in food-sharing circles had better chances of survival. However, food sharing is not necessarily inclusive; a significant number of children have fallen out of such circles, especially in mainland villages. Furthermore, monetary support for children’s medicine has often failed to arrive in time. Lastly, the book argues that, in addition to direct factors such as access to health services, water and sanitation, food intake, and education, it is essential that children receive inclusive support at various levels: family, community, village, national, and international.Table of Contents

Broken Hill Publishers Ltd Handbook of Laparoscopic Surgery
Book SynopsisA handbook for obstetrics and gynecology residents who are starting to elaborate on laparoscopic surgery which does not aim to present new techniques nor to illustrate the history and evolution of laparoscopic surgery. Instead the authors have created a comprehensive text able to provide the minimum knowledge for one to operate safely and with confidence. They believe that a minimum proficiency in laparoscopy is necessary for every new gynecologist.The book has been designed to live in every resident's pocket and not his library. To stimulate further studying a list of suggested literature can be found at the end of each chapter.In recent years laparoscopy has been used more and more in the management of gynecologic cancer we felt that it was necessary to allocate a significant portion of this handbook on the laparoscopic management of gynecologic malignancies. In addition a chapter on robotic surgery has been included. At the end of this handbook the reader can find algorithms regarding troubleshooting and management of emergency situations in laparoscopy.
