BACKGROUND: This is an update of the 2008 British Society for Sexual Medicine (BSSM) guidelines. AIM: To provide up-to-date guidance for U.K. (and international) health care professionals managing male sexual dysfunction. METHODS: Source information was obtained from peer-reviewed articles, meetings, and presentations. A search of Embase, MEDLINE, and Cochrane Reviews was performed, covering the search terms "hypogonadism," "eugonadal or hypogonadism or hypogonadal or gonadal," and "low or lower testosterone," starting from 2009 with a cut-off date of September 2017. OUTCOMES: We offer evidence-based statements and recommendations for clinicians. RESULTS: Expert guidance for health care professionals managing male sexual dysfunction is included. CLINICAL TRANSLATION: Current U.K. management has been largely influenced by non-evidence guidance from National Health Service departments, largely based on providing access to care limited by resources. The 2008 BSSM guidelines to date have been widely quoted in U.K. policy decision making. CONCLUSIONS: There is now overwhelming evidence that erectile dysfunction is strongly associated with cardiovascular disease, such that newly presenting patients should be thoroughly evaluated for cardiovascular and endocrine risk factors, which should be managed accordingly. Measurement of fasting serum glucose, lipid profile, and morning total testosterone should be considered mandatory in all newly presenting patients. Patients attending their primary care physician with chronic cardiovascular disease should be asked about erectile problems. There can no longer be an excuse for avoiding discussions about sexual activity due to embarrassment. Hackett G, Kirby M, Wylie K, et al.

This review discusses the general principles underlying responsible antibiotic usage in reptiles. Very little evidence underlies antibiotic usage in reptiles, and there are no published guidelines for responsible antibiotic usage. A literature search was performed to review the evidence for bacterial involvement in the pathology of selected common diseases of reptiles, allowing the development of recommendations for responsible antibiotic treatment of those diseases.

For many years after its invention around 1796, homeopathy was widely used in people and later in animals. Over the intervening period (1796-2016) pharmacology emerged as a science from Materia Medica (medicinal materials) to become the mainstay of veterinary therapeutics. There remains today a much smaller, but significant, use of homeopathy by veterinary surgeons. Homeopathic products are sometimes administered when conventional drug therapies have not succeeded, but are also used as alternatives to scientifically based therapies and licensed products. The principles underlying the veterinary use of drug-based and homeopathic products are polar opposites; this provides the basis for comparison between them. This two-part review compares and contrasts the two treatment forms in respect of history, constituents, methods of preparation, known or postulated mechanisms underlying responses, the legal basis for use and scientific credibility in the 21st century. Part 1 begins with a consideration of why therapeutic products actually work or appear to do so.

Grammar's place in English teaching seems to be constantly under review. This paper reflects on the status and methods of grammar teaching at the moment. In particular, it explores both the positive and negative impact of the Key Stage 3 Framework for Teaching English on teaching and learning. It goes on to analyse the writer's experiences of teaching grammar as a student teacher, and asks whether the methods we are using today are adequate for the needs of young writers.

INTRODUCTION: Three outbreaks of fatal diarrhoea occurred in bush dog (Speothos venaticus) groups at two zoological collections in the United Kingdom between 2009 and 2017. In all cases, the predominant clinical signs were diarrhoea, anorexia and severe loss of condition. Despite supportive treatment, a number of fatalities occurred during each outbreak. Common gross post mortem findings were emaciation, with erythema, mucosal haemorrhage, and ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract. Histopathological features included villus blunting and fusion, crypt epithelial loss and lymphoid depletion, supporting a viral aetiology and canine coronavirus was suspected. Diagnosis was confirmed on the basis of serology (rising antibody titres) and the detection of viral nucleic acid using polymerase chain reaction. The canine coronavirus was subtyped as type 2a, which is known to cause systemic fatal disease in immature domestic dogs. To the authors' knowledge, these are the first reported cases of fatal diarrhoea associated with canine coronavirus type 2a in bush dogs. These outbreaks suggest that adult bush dogs are highly susceptible to canine coronavirus infection and may succumb to viral enteritis.

Veterinary students frequently experience heightened emotions which can stimulate or compromise learning. The impact of student emotions on educators, or the ways that educators can respond to these is less well known. This has potential impacts for educators’ own emotional responses, and for educators’ effectiveness in supporting learning. To better support educators in facilitating student learning, this study sought to further understand how students’ epistemic emotions are experienced by educators. We explored the experiences of educators from three international veterinary schools, using iterative interpretive analysis of workshop discussions designed and implemented for the purpose of the study. Analysis revealed that veterinary educators experience a range of emotions in the course of teaching their students, arising from events, such as emotional topics or clinical situations; receipt of grades; and the experience of uncertainty, e.g., in teaching methods or open-ended tasks. The educators’ responses to these included feeling overwhelmed and anxious - wanting to help facilitate student learning but lacking the tools to do so. Consequently, educators felt unable to engage effectively with students, and learning was deactivated. This could occur even when students were interested and curious. Educators’ responses were particularly challenged by time and assessment pressures (needing to remain on topic and teach to learning outcomes). Strategies for responding to student emotions and to support development of educator emotional intelligence have been generated, which include a need for institutional recognition of the time resources necessary for educators to reflectively learn from complex situations experienced in their classrooms.

Abstract Thomas Betterton has been described as ‘the greatest English actor between Burbage and Garrick’ as well ‘the pre-eminent manager of his time’ (ODNB) ; yet he began his career in the book trade, with an informal apprenticeship split between entirely different masters. The first was the ambitious John Holden who might have succeeded Humphrey Moseley as the most important literary publisher of the day, had he not died young. His second master was John Rhodes, who took a more pragmatic view of bookselling. Rhodes’ heart was in the theatre—he briefly had his own company and purchased shares in a playhouse—but he understood that bookselling provided a more stable income. Rhodes would have kept the young Betterton busy in his bookshop, but he probably also gave Betterton his first stage experience. While Betterton went on to a brilliant acting and managing career, he continued his association with books, accumulating a large working library.

In the dilemma discussed in the June issue of In Practice , you were presented with a lively, 60 kg dog with an obvious anterior cruciate rupture that required surgical repair. Published evidence indicated that osteotomy procedures had a higher success rate in large dogs, but in your own, self‐audited experience, a lateral fabellar suture carried a high success rate. Your clinic did not offer osteotomy procedures but the owner could afford referral. Which should you chose? ( IP , June 2016, vol 38, pp 310‐311). David Mills noted that published evidence, with its large sample size and strong conclusions, had a sense of objectivity. However, he questioned what objectivity really meant and how useful it actually was in a medical discipline, where subjective aspects were involved, such as pain, emotion and suffering. He suggested that changing the perception of evidence‐based veterinary medicine or modifying it to a repository of external evidence to be referred to if required rather than obligatorily might help to clear the ethical waters in decision making in cases such as this.

Donal Murphy and Ian Wright question whether the high levels of fipronil and imidacloprid in English rivers are originating from flea products, as suggested by our findings.1 The legislated environmental risk assessment for companion animal parasiticides is minimal: it assumes use in non-food-producing animals is not an environmental risk and requires no investigation of the environmental fate or toxicity of the products used.2 Given the number of pets treated, the frequency of treatment and the toxicity of modern pesticides, this approach is no longer fit for purpose. The pattern of fipronil …
