“…This finding is reasonable because advanced age is known to be related to higher neurological disease incidence. It is well-described in the literature that HT is a common problem in geriatric patients with a prevalence as high as 60 to 80% [ 23 ]. In a study by Salvi et al, it was reported that the most common diagnoses in elderly patients were atrial fibrillation, congestive heart failure, pneumonia, and stroke [ 24 ].…”

Introduction The aim of this study is to detect the possible reasons of abdominal pain in the patients aged 65 and older admitted to emergency department (ED) with complaint of abdominal pain which is not related to trauma, to determine the length of hospitalization of old (65–75 age) and elderly (aged 75 and older) patients, and to define the hospitalization and mortality rates. Material and Methods In the study, 336 patients were included. Groups were compared in respect to gender, internal or surgical prediagnoses, complaints accompanying abdominal pain, vital findings, comorbidities, requested consultations, hospitalizing service, waiting time in the ED and in the hospital, and treatment methods. Results Of the patients, 48.2% were male, and 51.8% were female. While 52.4% of the patients were in 65–74 age group, 47.6% of them were aged 75 years and above. An internal disease was detected in 76.8% of the patients as an origin of abdominal pain. Most common prediagnoses were biliary diseases and diseases related to biliary tract followed by nonspecific abdominal pain, abdominal pain secondary to malignity, ileus, and acute gastroenteritis, respectively. The most frequent finding accompanying abdominal pain was vomiting. The most frequent chronic disease accompanying abdominal pain was hypertension in both age groups. We observed that 75.9% of the patients required consultation. We detected that 48.8% of the patients with abdominal pain were hospitalized and they were hospitalized mostly by gastroenterology ward (24.8%). Surgical treatments were applied to the 17.6% of the patients with abdominal pain. Conclusion Clinical findings become indistinct by age, and differential diagnosis of abdominal pain gets more difficult in geriatric patients. Therefore, physicians should consider age related physiological changes in order to distinguish geriatric patients admitted to emergency service with abdominal pain from pathological cases requiring immediate surgical operation.

The Geometridae is one of the most populous families in terms of the number of species in the order Lepidoptera. It is known to have more than 23,000 species worldwide. Geometridae species cause damage to forest trees, but it has been reported that they also cause damage to cultivated plants in studies. This research was carried out in Turkey's Central Black Sea Region (Amasya, Çorum, Ordu, Samsun, Sinop, Tokat, and Yozgat) in 2017 and 2018 years. Adult specimens of Geometridae were collected using an insect net and a light trap in the study region. Obtained specimens were prepared according to standard museum methods for butterflies and prepared genitalia structures. As a result of the study, five subfamilies (Ennominae, Geometrinae, Larentiinae, Orthostixinae, Sterrhinae), 36 genera, and 48 species were determined. Also in this paper, the examined materials and adult photographs of the species are given. This study provides new information about the zoogeographic distribution of Geometridae species identified in the research area.
