The Intrinsic Character of Heterosexual Activity and Prostitution -- 4. Sexuality and Prostitution as Conceptual Constructs -- 5. The Practice of Heterosexuality and Heterosexual Prostitution -- 6.

Sommario/riassunto

While widely acknowledged as the world's oldest profession, and often glamorized or demonized in the media, prostitution is a critical part of American culture and its economy, as well as a social problem in need of an updated public policy. In Prostitution Policy, Lenore Kuo combines feminist social research and legal studies to tackle issues raised by heterosexual prostitution in the U.S. Through the lens of feminist theory, Kuo examines the milieu of prostitutes and the role of prostitution in contemporary society, and how the interplay of those two works itself out in practice.Moving beyond theoretical analysis of prostitution, Prostitution Policy turns to the complicated problem of



formulating a reasonable legal policy that minimizes harm. Kuo discusss criminalization, legalization, and decriminalization as possible approaches, ultimately arguing for a unique form of decriminalization including detailed legal oversight and mandatory social services.

Respiratory Failure in COVID-19 Condition -- 5. Pulmonary Issues in Chronic Liver Disease -- 6. Mechanical Ventilation in the Burn Patient -- 7. VV-ECMO in Respiratory Insufficiency.

Sommario/riassunto

In the United States, respiratory failure accounts for 1275 cases per 100,000 people. The etiology of respiratory failure can be diverse, encompassing obstructive and restrictive lung diseases, among others. The COVID-19 pandemic led to a significant surge in respiratory failure cases among patients admitted to hospitals, particularly those requiring intensive care. This book explores the pathophysiology of respiratory failure and insufficiency associated with COVID-19 illness as well as obstructive lung disease. It also delves into respiratory insufficiency stemming from liver disease and burns and discusses the role of veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) in managing patients with respiratory insufficiency. This book is a useful resource for medical students, residents, physicians, and nurses



alike.
