Intervention to "degeneration" of jokes and the trace of digression in idealized stereotypes: Temel'li Fikralar [Fikra türünde "ki̇rlenmeye" müdahale ve i̇dealleşti̇ri̇len fikra ti̇pi̇nde arasözleri̇n i̇zi̇: Temel'li̇ Fikralar]
This article examines the approach which idealizes stereotypes in jokes such as Temel or Nasreddin Hodja and ignores any other narrative. The study of Temel'li Fikralar as an illustration reveals that digression is used as an instrument in this idealization effort
AB1418 A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF CURRENT RHEUMATOLOGY GUIDELINES FOR GERIATRIC PERSPECTIVES
BackgroundGeriatric population (GP) includes people over 65 years of age. GP can also be divided into the 65-75 age group and >75 age group. In the last 50 years, the proportion of the elderly in the society has increased (1). Meanwhile, GP has higher frequency of rheumatological disorders. While managing the treatment of this special patient group, some physiological differences of the elderly should be considered. Elderly patients are at increased risk for adverse drug reactions as a result of age-related changes in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Polypharmacy is contributing to increased risk of clinically significant drug interactions. In addition, alterations in cognitive functions may impair drug compliance. On the other hand, clinicians may hesitate to apply more effective treatment due to safety concerns. (2).Rheumatologists should be aware of the problems they may encounter when planning the treatment of this privileged group.ObjectivesWe reviewed rheumatology guidelines to assess rheumatology organizations’ perspective on GP.MethodsGuidelines published by EULAR, ACR and the British Society for Rheumatology (BSR) for adult patients from 1970-2022 were reviewed by two rheumatologists to assess the existence of specific recommendations for the treatment of adult patients over 65 years of age.ResultsIn total, 58 guidelines were reviewed. None of the guidelines grouped patients by age. Seven (12%) guidelines had recommendations or statements about elderly patients (Table 1). As we observe, there are no satisfactory recommendations for the GP with rheumatological diseases. The most propable reason for this result is the lack of studies in the rheumatology literature to lead to guideline recommendations.Table 1.Characteristics of guidelines reviewedNumber of guidelines (n)Guidelines with specific recommandation for GPEULAR381-2-3-4-5-6ACR116BSR971EULAR points to consider for the management of difficult-to-treatrheumatoidarthritis(recommendation 6)2.

BSR guidelines for the management of polymyalgiarheumatica (recommendation 6)ConclusionCurrent prominent rheumatology guidelines have insufficiently addressed the management of rheumatological diseases in GP. Additional studies ares needed to delineate specific guidelines for the management of geriatric patients with rheumatological diseases.References[1]OECD (2022), Elderlypopulation (indicator). doi: 10.1787/8d805ea1-en (Accessed on 27 January 2022)[2]Tutuncu Z, Reed G, Kremer JA.
