Social Participation of Older Adults in Rural and Urban Areas: A Cross-Sectional Survey in Turkey.

Social participation is important in terms of active aging and quality of life during old age. This cross-sectional study aimed to determine the social participation of older adults in rural and urban areas in Turkey. Related factors were similarly identified.

Relationship between the fear of COVID-19 and social isolation and depression in elderly individuals.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has seriously affected elderly individuals and it has been associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. This study was conducted to examine the relationship between fear of COVID-19, social isolation and depression in elderly individuals.

Methods: The study is a descriptive type.

Comparison of the Gonial Angle With Age and Gender Using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Images.

Introduction The mandible is one of the most important bones used in gender determination in forensic medicine and anthropology. In literature, there are many studies examining the relationship between the gonial angle on the mandible and gender. However, these studies reported different results.

The predictors of catheter-related bloodstream infections in patients undergoing hemodialysis: A single center experience.

Background: Here we aimed to investigate the predictors of catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) in patients with acute kidney injury or chronic kidney disease who required renal replacement therapy through a non-tunneled hemodialysis catheter.

Methods: A total of 111 patients who received non-tunneled hemodialysis catheters were retrospectively evaluated. Patients were divided into two groups; those who developed CRBSI and those who did not.

Fourier uniqueness in even dimensions.

In recent work, methods from the theory of modular forms were used to obtain Fourier uniqueness results in several key dimensions ([Formula: see text]), in which a function could be uniquely reconstructed from the values of it and its Fourier transform on a discrete set, with the striking application of resolving the sphere packing problem in dimensions [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] In this short note, we present an alternative approach to such results, viable in even dimensions, based instead on the uniqueness theory for the Klein-Gordon equation. Since the existing method for the Klein-Gordon uniqueness theory is based on the study of iterations of Gauss-type maps, this suggests a connection between the latter and methods involving modular forms. The derivation of Fourier uniqueness from the Klein-Gordon theory supplies conditions on the given test function for Fourier interpolation, which are hoped to be optimal or close to optimal.
