Abstract Many countries around the world are witnessing a period of significant demographic changes. As a developing country, Türkiye is also experiencing a rapid aging and urbanization process. Changes in Türkiye’s population structure have caused the country’s population to face the phenomenon of aging. According to the United Nations (UN), the ratio of the population aged 65 and over to the total population worldwide has increased from 6% in 1990 to 9.8% in 2022. According to the Turkish Statistical Institute (TurkStat) data, while the older population rate in Türkiye is 9.9% in 2022, the older population rate in Afyonkarahisar is 11.8%. This study aims to determine the expectations of individuals aged 65 and over regarding their housing in Afyonkarahisar city center from the perspective of aging in place. It is also one of the few studies that examine the relationship of individuals with the environment and space in the context of urban aging and aging in place. Various hypotheses were formed for the research. To test these hypotheses, a questionnaire was applied to 374 older adults in the sample area determined in the city. In the study, explanatory factor analysis and difference tests were used to examine the factors affecting the housing preferences of older adults. According to the factor analysis results, the dimensions determining the housing expectations of older adults include housing facilities, housing size, housing type, toilet and bathroom use.

In recent years, there has been a rapid increase in research on active ageing. However, it is un-derstood that more effort needs to be made to emphasize the critical effects of the studies on this subject in a scientific sense and to highlight the priority studies in the literature with modern visual and scientific mapping techniques. This study aims to identify future priority research topics and potential areas of collaboration by examining existing research on active ageing. In this context, the literature search results in the Web of Science database with the keywords “active ageing” and “active aging” are subjected to a bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer. VOSviewer is an up-to-date tool widely used for statistical analysis and visual representation in many disciplines. Types of publications, authors, countries, organizations, keywords and vari-ous scientific relationships related to active ageing constitute the study’s unit of analysis. In this direction, 2322 studies on active ageing were analyzed. In the distribution of the publication types of these studies, articles (n=1584), proceedings (n=351) and abstracts (n=178) have an essential place. When the distribution of studies according to years is analyzed, it is determined that scientific studies were conducted in 2022 (n=256), 2021 (n=253) and 2023 (n=208). Andrea Principi (n=20), Taina Rantanen (n=19), Erja Portegij (n=17) and Alan Walker (n=16) are the authors with the most studies. It was seen that the concept of active ageing was empha-sized in the publications and the keywords frequently used together were “active ageing”, “active aging”, “quality life”, “physical activity”, “healthy aging” and “well-being”.

OBJECTIVE: Monocyte to high-density lipoprotein ratio (MHR) has recently been postulated as a novel parameter related to adverse cardiovascular outcomes. In this study, we aimed to investigate the correlation of MHR with stent restenosis (SR) rates after the primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and bare-metal stent (BMS) implantation. METHODS: In this study, patients who had undergone primary PCI for STEMI and had a control angiogram during follow-up were retrospectively recruited. Patients were categorized according to admission MHR tertiles, clinical and angiographic data were compared. In addition, predictors of SR were evaluated with logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: A total number of 448 patients (240 patients with SR and 208 patients without SR) were included in this study. Patients were categorized into three groups according to tertiles of admission MHR. During a follow-up period of median 12 months, the rate of SR was significantly higher in patients with higher MHR levels (45% in tertile 1, 54% in tertile 2 and 62% in tertile 3, p

Turbinate osteoma is very rare and only six turbinate cases have been previously reported in the literature. A case of middle turbinate osteoma extending into the maxillary sinus has never been reported before. This is a report of a 38-year-old male presenting middle turbinate osteoma with persistent headache, progressive right nasal obstruction, and post nasal discharge. The osteoma was resected by endoscopic sinus surgery.
