We present the case of an eighty-two-year-old man who presented with testicular pain, diarrhoea, fresh rectal bleeding, and weight loss. A clear history was not obtained because of presumed chronic confusion secondary to age related vascular dementia. He was subsequently diagnosed with Fournier’s gangrene and a retrospective obtainment of his collateral history revealed a completely normal pre-morbid cognitive level of function. Thus, his confusion was secondary to an atypical cause of sepsis and he was managed with surgical debridement. We highlight the value of urgent computed tomography (CT) scanning as well as the use of screening tools for assessing cognitive function, particularly in surgical specialties, as well as the importance of obtaining a collateral history and discussing means for better collaborative efforts amongst surgeons and physicians in managing the “confused patient”.

The trabecular and cortical compartments of bone each contributes to bone strength. Until recently, assessment of trabecular and cortical microstructure has required a bone biopsy. Now, trabecular and cortical microstructure of peripheral bone sites can be determined noninvasively using high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT). Studies that have used HR-pQCT to evaluate cohorts of both men and women have provided novel insights into the changes in bone microarchitecture that occur with age between the sexes, which may help to explain the lower fracture incidence in older men relative to women. This review will highlight observations from these studies on both the sex- and age-related differences in trabecular and cortical microstructure that may underlie the differences in bone strength, and thereby fracture risk, between men and women.
