    Abstract Bone and muscle are required for mobility but they also have endocrine and metabolic functions. In ageing as well as in many chronic diseases, bone loss and muscle atrophy occur simultaneously, leading to concomitant osteoporosis and sarcopenia. This occurs in both genders but compared with postmenopausal women, men appear to be better protected against age-related bone and muscle decay. Sex steroids (both androgens like testosterone and oestrogens like estradiol) are mainly responsible for musculoskeletal sexual dimorphism. They stimulate peak bone and muscle mass accretion during puberty and midlife, and prevent subsequent loss in ageing men but not post-menopausal women. Still, recent studies have highlighted the importance of intrinsic ageing mechanisms such as cellular senescence and oxidative stress in both genders. Sarcopenia may predispose to dysmobility, frailty, falls and fractures, but whether so-called osteosarcopenia qualifies as a distinct entity remains debated. Although randomized clinical trials in male osteoporosis are smaller and therefore underpowered for some outcomes like hip fractures, the available evidence suggests that the clinical diagnostic and therapeutic approach to male osteoporosis is largely similar to that in postmenopausal women. There is a clear unmet medical need for effective and safe anabolic drugs to rebuild the ageing skeleton, muscle, and preferably both tissues simultaneously. The Wnt/sclerostin and myostatin/activin receptor signalling pathways appear particularly promising in this regard. In this narrative review, we aim to provide an overview of our current understanding of the pathophysiology and treatment of male osteoporosis and sarcopenia, and interactions between these two diseases.

    Abstract Background: Older adults with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) face an increased risk of adverse health outcomes including mortality. Ethical guidelines consider allocation of limited resources based on likelihood of survival, frailty, co-morbidities and age. However, the association of frailty with clinical outcomes in older COVID-19 patients remains unclear. Objectives: To determine the association between frailty and short-term mortality in older adults hospitalized for COVID-19. Design: Retrospective single-center observational study. Setting and participants: N = 81 patients with COVID-19 confirmed by reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), at the Geriatrics department of Imelda general hospital, Belgium. Measurements: Frailty was graded according to the Rockwood Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS). Demographic, biochemical and radiological variables, co-morbidities, symptoms and treatment were extracted from electronic medical records. Results: Participants (N = 48 women, 59%) had a median age of 85 years (range 65 - 97 years), median CFS score of 7 (range 2 - 9), and 42 (52%) were long-term care residents. Within six weeks, eighteen patients died. Mortality was significantly but weakly associated with age (Spearman r = 0.241, P = 0.03) and CFS score (r = 0.282, P = 0.011), baseline lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) (r = 0.301, P = 0.009), lymphocyte count (r = -0.262, P = 0.02) and RT-PCR Ct value (r = -0.285, P = 0.015). Mortality was not associated with long-term care residence, dementia, delirium or polypharmacy. In multivariable logistic regression analyses, CFS, LDH and RT-PCR Ct values (but not age) remained independently associated with mortality. Both age and frailty had poor specificity to predict survival. A multivariable model combining age, CFS, LDH and viral load significantly predicted survival. Conclusions and implications: Although their prognosis is worse, even the oldest and most severely frail patients may benefit from hospitalization for COVID-19, if sufficient resources are available.

    Abstract Objectives: To determine the association between frailty and short-term mortality in older adults hospitalized for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
    Design: Retrospective single-center observational study.
    Setting and participants: Eighty-one patients with COVID-19 confirmed by reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), at the Geriatrics department of a general hospital in Belgium.
    Measurements: Frailty was graded according to the Rockwood Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS). Demographic, biochemical, and radiologic variables, comorbidities, symptoms, and treatment were extracted from electronic medical records.
    Results: Participants (N = 48 women, 59%) had a median age of 85 years (range 65-97 years) and a median CFS score of 7 (range 2-9); 42 (52%) were long-term care residents. Within 6 weeks, 18 patients died. Mortality was significantly but weakly associated with age (Spearman r = 0.241, P = .03) and CFS score (r = 0.282, P = .011), baseline lactate dehydrogenase (LDH; r = 0.301, P = .009), lymphocyte count (r = -0.262, P = .02), and RT-PCR cycle threshold (Ct, r = -0.285, P = .015). Mortality was not associated with long-term care residence, dementia, delirium, or polypharmacy. In multivariable logistic regression analyses, CFS, LDH, and RT-PCR Ct (but not age) remained independently associated with mortality. Both age and frailty had poor specificity to predict survival. A multivariable model combining age, CFS, LDH, and viral load significantly predicted survival.

    Abstract We report the case of a 34-year-old man with a rheumatoid pulmonary nodule preceding the development of articular symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. Pulmonary nodules are a well known feature of rheumatoid arthritis and are mostly seen in severe established rheumatoid factor-positive cases. To differentiate between benign and malign pulmonary nodules we discuss the use of positron emission tomography (PET). Despite intensive therapy with steroids and methotrexate in our patient, within months he developed a severe tibialis posterior tendinitis, with partial rupture and evolution to a planovalgus deformity requiring surgery. Both these symptoms are rare but demonstrate the need for close follow-up in early rheumatoid arthritis.
