Abstract
BACKGROUND Splenogonadal fusion is rare abnormal congenital connection of splenic tissue and gonad. It commonly presents with either cryptorchidism or as a palpable mass. As a benign anomaly, orchiectomy is often unnecessary. Removal of the splenic component may be accomplished with preservation of the testicle. METHODS An 18-month-old boy presented with right cryptorchidism and left retractile testicle. Laparoscopic examination found a viable right testicle, and a successful orchiopexy was performed. The left testicle demonstrated splenogonadal fusion. Discontinuous accessory splenules were noted along the path of testicular descent. After confirmation from a radionucleotide liver-spleen scan the patient was brought back to the operating room for open excision of the adherent splenic tissue and orchiopexy of the testicle via an open inguinal approach. CONCLUSION Splenogonadal fusion is a rare condition, but may be suspected in children with cryptorchidism or palpable peri-testicular mass. As with the present patient, in most cases the splenic tissue may be successfully excised without injury to the testicle.

Abstract
High-resolution screening methodologies which enable the differentiation of Chlamydia trachomatis at the strain level, directly from clinical samples, can provide the detailed information required for epidemiological questions such as the dynamics of treatment failure. In addition, they give a detailed snapshot of circulating C. trachomatis genetic variation, data which are currently lacking for the Australian population. In the context of two Australian clinical trials, we assessed the genetic diversity of C. trachomatis and compared these to strains circulating globally. We used high-resolution multilocus sequence typing (MLST) of five highly variable genetic regions of C. trachomatis to examine variation in Australia. Samples with established genovars were drawn from a pool of 880 C. trachomatis-positive samples from two clinical studies, whereby 76 sample pairs which remained C. trachomatis-positive for the same genovar after treatment underwent MLST analysis to distinguish between treatment failure and reinfection. MLST analysis revealed a total of 25 sequence types (STs), six new allele variants and seven new STs not described anywhere else in the world, when compared to those in the international C. trachomatis MLST database. Of the eight most common global STs, seven were found in Australia (four derived from men who have sex with men (MSM) and three from heterosexuals). Newly identified STs were predominantly found in samples from the MSM population. In conclusion, MLST provided a diverse C. trachomatis strain profile, with novel circulating STs, and could be used to identify local sexual networks to focus on interventions such as testing and partner notification to prevent reinfection.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to evaluate reproductive outcomes in a cohort of infertile couples with severe and complete asthenozoospermia undergoing TESA (testicular sperm aspiration) with ICSI. We conducted a retrospective study of 28 couples with complete or severe asthenozoospermia who underwent TESA between January 2010 and December 2015. We compared TESA-ICSI outcomes of these couples to ejaculate ICSI outcomes of 40 couples with severe asthenozoospermia treated during the same time period at our institution. Couples with female factor infertility and/or female aged ≥39 were excluded. Sperm retrieval rates and ICSI outcomes [(MII oocytes, fertilization rate, good embryo rate (transferred and frozen), couples with embryo transfer (per cycle started), clinical pregnancy (per embryo transfer)] were recorded. Patients were grouped based on whether they had ejaculated (Ej-group) or testicular (TESA-group) spermatozoa used. Testicular sperm patients were further classified based on whether they had complete asthenozoospermia (0% total motility) (Tc-group) or severe asthenozoospermia (≤1% progressive motility) (Ts-group). Mean (±SD) male and female ages were 36 ± 6 and 32 ± 4, respectively. Sperm recovery by testicular sperm aspiration (TESA) was successful in 100% (28/28) of the men. The overall clinical pregnancy rate (CPR) per cycle started was 34% (23/68) with a mean of 1.1 ± 0.4 embryos transferred per transfer. Fertilization rates were significantly lower in TESA-group compared to Ej-group (52% vs. 67%, respectively; p = 0.001), while male age was significantly higher in TESA-group compared to Ej-group (34 ± 6 vs. 37 ± 6, respectively; p = 0.03). Moreover, female age was significantly higher in Tc-group compared to Ts-group (30 ± 4 vs. 33 ± 3, respectively; p = 0.0285). However, there were no significant difference in clinical pregnancy rate per embryo transfer in the Tc-group, Ts-group, and Ej-group (50% vs. 45% vs. 57%, respectively; p = 0.8219). The data suggest that testicular sperm-ICSI is no better than ejaculated sperm-ICSI in couples with severe or complete asthenozoospermia. Randomized, controlled trials comparing ejaculated vs. testicular spermatozoa are needed to assess the true benefit of TESA-ICSI in these couples.

Abstract
PURPOSE to evaluate the performance of Anyplex II HPV28 and HPV HR Detection assays against the EuroArray HPV, Cobas 4800 HPV (Cobas), HPV Amplicor (Amp), Linear Array HPV (LA) and Hybrid Capture 2 (HC2) in detection of high-risk HPV (HR-HPV) from liquid-based cervical cytology samples. METHODS cervical specimens from 404 women undergoing management of high-grade cytological abnormality were evaluated by Anyplex II HPV28 and HPV HR Detection assays for detection of HR-HPV genotypes and prediction of histologically-confirmed cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or higher (≥CIN2). The results were compared to EuroArray, HC2, Cobas, Amp, and LA. RESULTS specimens were evaluated from 404 women with an average age of 30 years, including 336 with a histological diagnosis of ≥ CIN2 and 68 with ≤ CIN1. Concordance of HR-HPV detection between Anyplex II HPV28 and other genotyping assays was 94.79 % (κ = 0.84; EuroArray) and 97.27 % (κ = 0.91; LA); and between Anyplex II HPV HR and other HR-HPV detection assays was 86.35 % (κ = 0.62; HC2), 96.03 % (κ = 0.87; Cobas) and 96.77 % (κ = 0.89; Amp). Using HR-HPV detection for prediction of ≥ CIN2 by Anyplex II HPV28 and HPV HR, sensitivity (90.18, 95 % CI 86.48-93.14; 90.77, 95 % CI 87.16-93.65) and specificity (both 67.16, 95 % CI 54.60-78.15) were not significantly different to the other HPV assays tested, with one exception. Both Anyplex assays had significantly higher sensitivity than HC2 (p < 0.0001), with a specificity of 96 % (p > 0.05) of HC2 in this high-risk population. CONCLUSIONS both Anyplex II HPV detection assays were concordant with other commercial assays for HR-HPV detection, with comparable sensitivity and specificity for ≥ CIN2 detection.

Abstract
This study compared two commercially available quantitative neuromuscular function monitoring techniques, kinemyography (KMG) and electromyography (EMG), to assess whether KMG could be used interchangeably with EMG to exclude residual neuromuscular blockade (RNMB). Train-of-four (TOF) ratios were recorded every 20 seconds using KMG at the adductor pollicis and EMG at the first dorsal interosseous of the same hand during spontaneous recovery from shallow neuromuscular blockade. TOF ratios were compared using Bland–Altman analysis for repeated measurements. The precision of each device was assessed by the repeatability coefficient. Agreement between devices was assessed by the bias and limits of agreement. Clinically acceptable agreement was defined as a bias <0.025 within limits of agreement ±0.05. We recorded 629 sets of TOF ratios from 23 patients. The repeatability coefficient for KMG was 0.05 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.05 to 0.06) and for EMG 0.10 (95% CI 0.10 to 0.11). Overall, the bias of KMG TOF ratios against EMG TOF ratios was 0.11 (95% CI 0.10 to 0.12), with limits of agreement −0.11 to 0.32. In the 0.80 to 0.99 TOF range, the bias was 0.08 (95% CI 0.06 to 0.09) and the limits of agreement were-0.12 to 0.27. Overall, TOF ratios measured by KMG were on average 0.11 higher than EMG. In the 0.80 to 0.99 TOF range, KMG TOF ratios were 0.08 higher. EMG and KMG are not interchangeable because the bias is large and the limits of agreement are wide. Thus a maximum TOF ratio of 1.0 on KMG may not exclude RNMB.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of the EUROIMMUN EUROArray HPV genotyping assay against the Roche Cobas 4800, Roche HPV Amplicor, Roche Linear Array and Qiagen Hybrid Capture 2 assays in the detection of high-risk HPV (HR-HPV) from liquid based cervical cytology samples collected from women undergoing follow-up for abnormal cervical cytology results. Cervical specimens from 404 women undergoing management of high-grade cytological abnormality were evaluated by EUROarray HPV for detection of HR-HPV genotypes and prediction of histologically-confirmed cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or higher (≥CIN2). The results were compared to Hybrid Capture 2, Cobas 4800 HPV, Amplicor and Linear Array HPV. Positivity for 14 HR-HPV types was 80.0 % for EUROarray (95 % CI; 75.7-83.8 %). Agreement (κ, 95 % CI) between the EUROarray and other HPV tests for detection of HR-HPV was good to very good [Hybrid Capture κ = 0.62 (0.54-0.71); Cobas κ = 0.81 (0.74-0.88); Amplicor κ = 0.68 (0.60-0.77); Linear Array κ = 0.77 (0.70-0.85)]. For detection of HR-HPV, agreement with EUROarray was 87.90 % (Hybrid Capture), 93.58 % (Cobas), 92.84 % (Amplicor) and 92.59 % (Linear Array). Detection of HR-HPV was not significantly different between EUROarray and any other test (p < 0.001). EUROarray was concordant with other assays evaluated for detection of high-risk HPV and showed sensitivity and specificity for detection of ≥ CIN2 of 86 % and 71 %, respectively.

Abstract
In this prospective cohort study, we examined the residual gastric contents of 255 fasted patients undergoing gastrointestinal endoscopy. The volume and pH of residual gastric contents collected by suction under direct visualisation during gastroscopy were accurately quantified. All patients completed the minimum two-hour fast for clear fluids and 97.2% of patients completed the minimum six-hour fast for solids. High-risk residual gastric content, defined as volume >25 ml and pH <2.5, was present in 12.2% (95% CI 8.7% to 16.7%) of patients. We used multiple logistic regression analysis to identify demographic and clinical factors associated with high-risk residual gastric content. The odds of having high-risk residual gastric content were reduced with increase in age (adjusted odds ratio 0.77, 95% CI 0.61 to 0.96, P=0.0230), and use of a proton pump inhibitor or histamine type 2 receptor antagonist (adjusted odds ratio 0.24, 95% CI 0.10 to 0.55, P=0.0013), and were increased in male patients (adjusted odds ratio 2.36, 95% CI 1.06 to 5.28, P=0.0348). Notably, residual gastric content was classified as high-risk in 20.4% of patients who did not take a proton pump inhibitor or histamine type 2 receptor antagonist versus only 5.6% of those who did. Our findings suggest that, despite currently recommended fasting, males presenting for endoscopy are more likely to have high-risk gastric content than females, and that the incidence appears to be reduced with increasing age, and by the use of proton pump inhibitors or histamine type 2 receptor antagonists, we were unable to confirm or exclude an effect of body mass index, peptic pathology, diabetes or other clinical or demographic factors in our study population.
