Exogenous steroid-induced hypoadrenalism in a person living with HIV caused by a drug-drug interaction between cobicistat and intrabursal triamcinolone.

We report a diagnosis of exogenous steroid-induced hypoadrenalism in a person living with HIV caused by a drug-drug interaction (DDI) between intrabursal triamcinolone and the pharmacokinetic booster cobicistat. A 53-year-old woman living with HIV, managed with dolutegravir and cobicistat-boosted darunavir, presented to the orthopaedic clinic with worsening hip pain. She was diagnosed with greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) of the hip and was treated with intrabursal injection of bupivacaine and triamcinolone.

The development and validation of a scoring system for shoulder injuries in rugby players.

Background: Shoulder injuries are relatively common among professional rugby players and result in a large proportion of days absent from training and competition. No instrument exists that is designed and validated to assess function or outcome following therapeutic interventions in rugby players sustaining shoulder injuries. The objective was to develop and validate an athlete-reported scoring system to assess shoulder function in rugby players following shoulder injuries.
