Abstract	Scrotal hernias are common in the general population. Patients often present acutely reporting pain or sometimes with more severe symptoms if the hernia is strangulated or incarcerated. An 81-year-old man presented with left-sided iliac fossa pain with no other associated symptoms. On clinical exam, a left-sided non-reducible inguinoscrotal hernia was detected with no evidence to suggest strangulation. Imaging revealed a probable colorectal cancer with likely liver metastases. The patient went on to have open surgery to excise the tumour with clear oncological margins. Colorectal cancers contained within scrotal hernias are very rare occurrences. In this case, the surgeon had the advantage of preoperative images that identified the cancer. In some cases, this cohort of patients do not have such scans prior to surgery and the surgical team can be faced with a much more complex operation than anticipated.

Abstract	Objectives: With management of comorbidity in people living with HIV (PLWH) a key component of clinical care, early loss of bone integrity and clinical fracture are recognized as important issues. This review aims to describe the epidemiology of fracture in PLWH, as well as summarizing the relative balance of factors that contribute to fracture. We also aim to describe fracture risk assessment and interventional strategies to modify the risk of fracture in this population. Results: Data from recent meta-analyses show that PLWH have significantly more fractures than the general population, with men and injecting drug users at higher risk. Modifiable factors that contribute to fracture risk in this cohort include body mass index (BMI), drug use, concurrent medications, frailty, and hepatitis C virus infection. Relating to antiretroviral therapy, current or ever tenofovir exposure has been identified as predictive of fracture but not cumulative use, and a potentially modest protective effect of efavirenz has been observed. Fracture Risk Assessment Tool scores underestimate fracture risk in PLWH with improved accuracy when HIV is considered a cause of secondary osteoporosis and bone mineral density (BMD) included. Conclusion: Early consideration of risk, prompting evaluation of modifiable risk factors, frailty and falls risk with bone density imaging and prompt intervention may avert fracture in PLWH. Guidance on screening and lifestyle modification is available in international guidelines. Bisphosphonates are safe and effective in PLWH, with limited data for other agents.

Abstract	(1) Background: Given the high prevalence of childhood mental health problems and their long-lasting negative consequences if left untreated, it is important to investigate factors that affect family engagement in psychological interventions such as Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), including caregiver treatment readiness and readiness for change (RFC). Specifically, Latine families experience greater mental health disparities and have unique cultural factors that affect engagement. The current project examined caregiver pretreatment readiness among primarily Latine Spanish- and English-speaking families. (2) Methods: Participants were 100 caregivers (96% female) of young children ages 2 to 7 who sought PCIT services from a community mental health center in Washington, D.C. Families completed written and observational assessment measures at pretreatment and throughout PCIT, which were used for the current study. (3) Results: Caregivers reported high readiness and importance of treatment at intake, with higher RFC among Spanish-speaking caregivers. Regardless of language, caregivers who reported more frequent and problematic child misbehavior and who were from a multi-caregiver household tended to report more RFC and treatment importance at intake. Pretreatment RFC also predicted family completion of the first phase of PCIT although there was a high attrition rate for the sample as only 18% of families completed treatment. (4) Conclusions: These findings provide insight into the implementation of standard PCIT among Spanish- and English speaking families and highlight the benefits of assessing pretreatment caregiver readiness to inform clinical decision-making.

Abstract	The classic Coffee Brewing Control Chart (BCC) was originally developed in the 1950s. It relates coffee quality to brew strength and extraction yield, and it is still widely used today by coffee industry professionals around the world to provide guidance on the brewing of coffee. Despite its popularity, recent experimental studies have revealed that sensory attributes and consumer preferences actually follow much more complicated trends than those indicated by the classic BCC. Here, we present a methodology to synthesize the results of these recent studies on drip-brewed coffee to generate new versions of the BCC: a new Sensory BCC that displays a broad array of statistically significant sensory attributes across typical total dissolved solids and percent extraction ranges, a new Consumer BCC that highlights the existence of two preference clusters with different likes and dislikes across those ranges, a new Sensory and Consumer BCC that combines both sensory descriptive and consumer preferences on the same chart, and a more streamlined BCC that omits consumer preferences and focuses on the overarching sensory descriptive trends. The new BCCs provide more accurate insight on how best to brew coffee to achieve desired sensory profiles. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Through the manipulation of yield and extraction parameters, the new Sensory and Consumer Coffee Brewing Control Chart presented here can be used by brewers of drip coffee to design coffees with specific sensory profiles and match the preferences of different consumer types.

Abstract	Background: Challenges in recruiting appropriately trained obstetricians and gynaecologists have been identified across the world. Given well documented staff shortages within obstetrics and gynaecology in Ireland, it is increasingly important to understand the factors which influence medical students to choose or reject a career in the speciality. The aim of this study was to ascertain the perceptions of final year graduate entry medical students of obstetrics and gynaecology, including the factors which may influence a student's decision to pursue in a career in the speciality. Methods: Paper-based surveys of graduate entry medical students (n = 146) were conducted at the beginning and end of a six week rotation in obstetrics and gynaecology in Ireland. Responses to the surveys pre- and post-rotation were matched and changes in career choices, merits and demerits over time were analysed. All analysis was conducted using SPSS for Windows version 25. Results: The responses of 72 students to both questionnaires could be matched (response rate of 49.3%). No male students expressed an interest in obstetrics, gynaecology or both as a first choice of career in the pre rotation survey. Obstetrics as a first choice of career increased from 6.9% pre rotation to 19.4% post rotation (p = 0.04) and this increase was seen in male and female students. Gynaecology as a first choice increased slightly from 1.4 to 4.2% (p = 0.50) and the dual speciality increased from 6.9 to 13.9% (p = 0.23). Students identified many merits of obstetrics pre-rotation with more than 60% identifying it as exciting, interesting fulfilling and challenging. However, incompatibility with family life was cited as a demerit by 72% of respondents and 68.1% identified fear of litigation as a demerit. Participants were less positive overall about the merits of a career in gynaecology with less than 40% viewing it as exciting, fulfilling, and varied. Conclusions: While respondents were positive about the merits of a career in obstetrics and gynecology, concerns remain about work-life balance, career opportunities, and the high-risk nature of the specialty. These concerns should be addressed by the profession and policy makers if they wish to attract sufficient numbers to address anticipated need in the coming years. Gender differences in speciality choice were also evident. If males are to be recruited into obstetrics and gynaecology, consideration should be given to the positive impact of internship.

Abstract	Summary: Both human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and antiretroviral therapy (ART) are associated with endocrine dysfunction (1). The term 'immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome' (IRIS) describes an array of inflammatory conditions that occur during the return of cell-mediated immunity following ART. Graves' disease (GD) occurs rarely as an IRIS following ART. In this study, we describe the case of a 40-year-old Brazilian female who was diagnosed with HIV following admission with cryptococcal meningitis and salmonellosis. At this time, she was also diagnosed with adrenal insufficiency. Her CD4 count at diagnosis was 17 cells/µL which rose to 256 cells/µL over the first 3 months of ART. Her HIV viral load, however, consistently remained detectable. When viral suppression was finally achieved 21 months post diagnosis, an incremental CD4 count of 407 cells/µL over the following 6 months ensued. Subsequently, she was diagnosed with a late IRIS to cryptococcus 32 months following initial ART treatment, which manifested as non-resolving lymphadenitis and resolved with high-dose steroids. Following the initiation of ART for 45 months, she developed symptomatic Graves' hyperthyroidism. At this time, her CD4 count had risen to 941 cells/µL. She has been rendered euthyroid on carbimazole. This case serves to remind us that GD can occur as an IRIS post ART and typically has a delayed presentation. Learning points: Endocrinologists should be aware of the endocrine manifestations of HIV disease, in particular, thyroid pathology. Endocrinologists should be aware that IRIS can occur following the initiation of ART. Thyroid dysfunction can occur post ART of which Graves' disease (GD) is the most common thyroid manifestation. GD as a manifestation of ART-induced IRIS can have a delayed presentation. Infectious disease physicians should be aware of endocrine manifestations associated with HIV and ART.

Abstract	Background: Cardiotocography (CTG) is a screening test used to detect fetal hypoxia in labour. It has a high false positive rate resulting in many potentially unnecessary caesarean sections. Fetal blood sampling (FBS) is a second-line test of the acid-base status of the fetus. It is used to provide either reassurance that it is safe for labour to continue or objective evidence of compromise so that delivery can be expedited. Digital fetal scalp stimulation (dFSS) to elicit a fetal heart rate acceleration is an alternative less invasive second-line test of fetal wellbeing. This study aims to provide robust evidence on the role of these two second-line tests in assessing fetal wellbeing and potentially preventing operative delivery. Methods: A multi-centre parallel group randomised controlled trial (RCT) is planned in four maternity centres in Ireland. The study aims to recruit 2500 nulliparous women with a term (≥37+0 weeks) singleton pregnancy who require a second-line test of fetal wellbeing in labour due to an abnormal CTG. Women will be allocated randomly to dFSS or FBS on a 1:1 ratio. The primary outcome is caesarean section. With 1250 women in each arm, the study will have 90% power to detect a difference of 5-6%, at a two-sided alpha significance level of 5%, assuming a caesarean section rate of at least 20% in the dFSS group. Discussion: If the proposed study shows evidence that dFSS is a safe, reliable and effective alternative to FBS, this would have ground-breaking implications for labour management worldwide. It could potentially lead to a reduction in invasive procedures and emergency caesarean sections. Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT05306756. Registered on 31 March 2022. The trial commenced enrolment on 10 May 2022. Ethical committee approval has been granted by the Research Ethics Committee (REC) of each hospital: Dublin/CWIUH REC: 12.06.2019; Cork/UCC REC: 29.11.2019; Galway/NUIG REC: 06.09.2019; Limerick/UL REC: 30.09.2019.
