Earning Housing: Removing Barriers to Housing to Improve the Health and Wellbeing of Chronically Homeless Sex Workers

For many sex workers, accessing and maintaining housing is one of the central reasons for engaging in sex work. Simultaneously, one of the most stringent barriers to accessible and affordable housing is the stigma and discrimination against sex work as a livelihood. This paper explores the relationship between barriers to accessing housing for sex workers and the systems that hold the barriers in place. This paper is based on qualitative research conducted by Ocean State Advocacy’s research team. Using quantitative analysis of 100 surveys and qualitative analysis of 35 interviews conducted with sex workers living in Rhode Island, this paper discusses the ways housing improves the physical health, mental health, and overall wellbeing of sex workers. By including sex workers and centering their human rights in movements around housing equity and access, sex workers’ needs are prioritized while increasing understanding of stigma and systemic disenfranchisement within the field of housing justice

Utilisation per-opératoire des phosphates de calcium de synthèse en implantologie

La thérapeutique implantaire est régulièrement confrontée à un manque de volume osseux. Les phosphates de calcium sont un des éléments principaux des substituts synthétiques de comblement, de par leur proximité chimique avec la phase osseuse minérale. Les biomatériaux existent sous différentes formes commercialisés et sont utilisés quotidiennement en chirurgie implantaire. Ce travail, basé sur la littérature scientifique, est une analyse de l'intérêt, des capacités et des résultats permis par l'utilisation de phosphates de calcium en comblement osseux péri-implantaire. Nous distinguons 3 situations anatomiques où, l'augmentation du volume osseux est abordée différemment : les comblements de sinus, l'extraction/implantation immédiate ainsi que les comblements de défauts osseux des crêtes alvéolaires. Les résultats révèlent la capacité des phosphates de calcium à participer à la néoformation osseuse lors de comblement de défauts péri-implantaire, sans compromettre l'ostéointégration de l'implant. En revanche, il n'y a pas de suprématie clairement établie des phosphates de calcium par rapport aux autres biomatériaux. Il manque également du recul clinique, des échantillons et des protocoles standardisés sur l'utilisation de ces biomatériaux. L'intérêt esthétique est aussi très peu documenté. Cependant l'avenir des phosphates de calcium est encore au laboratoire. L'ingénierie tissulaire vise à augmenter les capacités et les indications des phosphates de calcium pour la reconstruction osseuse.NANTES-BU Médecine pharmacie (441092101) / SudocNANTES-Bib.Odontologie (441092219) / SudocSudocFranceF
