The Subject

A year ago, by the decision of the Council of the British Association, there was sent to the Museum of Practical Geology a large collection of photographs mainly taken with a view of illustrating, in the most permanent and unbiassed way at present possible, the features and phenomena of geological interest in the United Kingdom. The project of forming such a collectionoriginated with Mr. O. W. Jeffs in 1888, when he read a paperon the subject at the British Association at Bath, in which hepointed out the utility of such a collection and the necessity for forming it. When a committee was appointed in the followingyear he undertook the management of the work, and he has carriedit ou for seven years with indefatigable industry and scrupulou scare, only relinquishing it when the size of the collection beganto exceed the capabilities of private control, and when his own lackof leisure no longer permitted him to devote the requisite time andattention to its custody.

Post-vasectomy semen analysis (PVSA) is the procedure used to establish whether sperm are present in the semen following a vasectomy. PVSA is presently carried out by a wide variety of individuals, ranging from doctors and nurses in general practitioner (GP) surgeries to specialist scientists in andrology laboratories, with highly variable results.Key recommendations are that: (1) PVSA should take place a minimum of 12 weeks after surgery and after a minimum of 20 ejaculations. (2) Laboratories should routinely examine samples within 4 h of production if assessing for the presence of sperm. If non-motile sperm are observed, further samples must be examined within 1 h of production. (3) Assessment of a single sample is acceptable to confirm vasectomy success if all recommendations and laboratory methodology are met and no sperm are observed. Clearance can then be given. (4) The level for special clearance should be <100 000/mL non-motile sperm. Special clearance cannot be provided if any motile sperm are observed and should only be given after assessment of two samples in full accordance with the methods contained within these guidelines. Surgeons are responsible both preoperatively and postoperatively for the counselling of patients and their partners regarding complications and the possibility of late recanalisation after clearance. These 2016 guidelines replace the 2002 British Andrology Society (BAS) laboratory guidelines and should be regarded as definitive for the UK in the provision of a quality PVSA service, accredited to ISO 15189:2012, as overseen by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS).

Paediatric surgery is the surgical care of children from fetus to adolescent. It is a comparatively new surgical specialty, only formally recognized after the Second World War. This chapter provides a history and overview of the specialty, including the associations related to paediatric surgery, and biographies of famous surgeons who contributed to the field throughout their careers. The main organization in the United Kingdom is the British Association of Paediatric Surgeons (BAPS) founded in 1953 with Sir Denis Browne as the first president. Though based in London, it now has many international contacts and, through its conferences and symposia inside and outside the United Kingdom, is a leading educational provider in the specialty.
