Published: September 2022

Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) causes endocrine disorders that affect the functioning of the reproductive system and the body's metabolic system. Bowel movement disorders and abdominal pain are common complaints of PCOS patients. Few studies have been performed on the relationship between PCOS and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and the association between the two syndromes is unclear.
Material and Method: In the study, 72 patients were enrolled at gynecology and obstetric clinic in Turkey. The control group were (n=34) and women with PCOS (n=38). IBS diagnosis was made by using Roma IV criteria.
Results: The results showed that IBS prevalence was similar in PCOS (52%) and the control group (50%) (p>0.05). No statistically significant association was found between IBS-PCOS and non-IBS-PCOS in terms of gastrointestinal symptoms (p=0.685). These symptoms were associated with PCOS rather than IBS. Significant differences have been observed between IBS-PCOS and non-IBS-PCOS for fasting insulin (FI), luteinizing hormone (LH) and Homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) (p

Published: September 2022

Objective: Mental state and social condition are integrally linked to a person’s physical health. The present study investigates the mental health literacy levels of patients aged 30–50 years who presented to the outpatient clinics of training and research hospital, as well as the relationship between mental health literacy and sociodemographic characteristics.
Material and Method: This cross-sectional study included 522 patients aged 30–50 years who presented to the Adult Outpatient Clinics of Karabuk University Training and Research Hospital between October and December 2021. The participants were administered a two-part, 33-item face-to-face questionnaire, in which the first part included 11 items assessing sociodemographic characteristics, and the second part included a 22-item scale comprising three (knowledge, belief, and resource-oriented) subscales for the measurement of the level of Mental Health Literacy (MHL).
Results: The mean scores of knowledge, belief and resource-oriented subscales were 8.92±0.98, 1.16±0.92 and 3.37±0.71, respectively, and the mean total MHL scale score was 13.46±1.39. The participants' education level, employment status, financial status, presence of chronic and psychiatric diseases, and psychiatric medication were significantly associated with the MHL scale scores (p=0.013, p=0.023, p=0.024, p=0.000, p=0.000 and p= 0.000, respectively).
Conclusion: As the level of MHL increases, so does the person’s awareness of the symptoms of mental health disorders and the correct use of appropriate treatment resources. It is believed that training programs aimed at improving mental health literacy will improve health-related social outcomes, thereby reducing the burden of disease.

Introduction: Previously, a significant relationship between saxagliptin treatment and increased rate of hospitalization for congestive heart failure was reported. We aimed to investigate effects of vildagliptin and saxagliptin on brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), neuropeptide Y (NPY), substance P (SP), glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1) levels and left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS), assessed by 3-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography in uncontrolled type 2 Diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Material and method: Thirty seven uncontrolled T2DM (HbA1c>7,5%) patients who were recently prescribed to either vildagliptin 50 mg BID (n=21) or saxagliptin 5 mg QD (n=16) were included in this study. Levels of BNP, NPY, SP, GLP-1 levels were measured at admission, first and third months of treatment. GLS was measured at admission and third month.
Results: In whole group, BNP and NPY values increased significantly at third month of treatment (p< 0.001, 0.004; respectively). In the vildagliptin group, BNP and NPY values increased significantly at third month of treatment (p=0.02 and p=0.04, respectively). In the saxagliptin group only BNP levels increased significantly (p=0.015). In both groups; SP, GLP-1 levels and GLS measurements did not change significantly during follow-up period.
Conclusion: The current study demonstrated that treatment with saxagliptin and vildagliptin, was associated with increased levels of BNP and NPY levels. No evidence of subclinical myocardial damage or cardiac dysfunction could be detected by GLS measurements. Since our study population had no previous clinical cardiac disorders, increases in BNP and NPY levels with these two DPP4 inhibitors can be considered as a safety signal.

Aim: It is known that disease severity and nutritional status are determinants of prognosis in patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit (ICU). Different scoring systems are used to evaluate the nutritional status and disease severity of intensive care patients. It will be very useful in clinical practice to determine the intensive care scores that are in harmony with the nutritional parameters and affect the length of stay in the ICU in patients hospitalized with the diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It was aimed to determine the relationship between acute physiology and chronic health evaluation-II (Apache-II), sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA), and Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) with nutritional scores in intensive care patients with a diagnosis of COPD. Also, it was aimed to determine the scoring systems that affect the length of stay in the ICU.
Material and Method: Nutritional risk score-2002 (NRS-2002), prognostic nutritional index (PNI), modified nutritional risk in critically ill (mNutric) score, albumin, Apache-II, SOFA and CCI values and intensive care unit length of stay of the patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit due to COPD were recorded. The scoring systems that affect the length of stay in the ICU and the relationship between nutritional scores and Apache-II, SOFA and CCI was analyzed using statistical methods.
Results: A significant correlation was found between only CCI and all nutritional scores. Only the CCI value was found to be significantly higher in those found to be at high risk compared to all nutritional scoring systems. CCI cut-off value determined according to nutritional scoring was determined as 4.5 according to PNI and albumin, and 5.5 according to mNutric score and NRS-2002. It was determined that CCI affects the length of stay in the intensive care unit.
Conclusion: CCI is a scoring system that is compatible with nutritional parameters and affects the length of stay in the intensive care unit. Therefore, we think that CCI can be used to predict prognosis and nutritional risk in patients with COPD in the intensive care unit and to predict the length of stay in the intensive care unit. In terms of malnutrition risk, a cut-off value of ≥6 can be used for CCI.
Nietzsche and Ancient Greek, Oral Culture: A glimpse of his philosophy through the anachronistic lens of some 20th century classicists
Authors: Lanza Craig 
Published: September 2022

In the 1920s, a brilliant scholar and classist named Milliam Parry made a unique discovery. In studying oral, epic poets in the Balkans, Parry discovered that Homer’s classic texts were obviously orally composed and bear all of the hallmarks of such compositions. Parry, who passed away tragically at a young age, was followed by a host of scholars who argued that much of ancient Greek culture was oral and poetic in nature and that the shift towards a written culture brought with it fundamental changes in worldview. Oral culture involved a circular notion of temporality focused less on permanence, and was essentially a culture of becoming. Many of these classicists have argued that the early Greek writings essentially “recorded” oral, performative works and therefore, the likes of Homer, Hesiod, and Heraclitus were essentially products of an oral and poetic tradition. By contrast, written culture brought with it an appreciation of exactitude, valued permanence and paved the way for “Classical Metaphysics.” Friedrich Nietzsche, before he became a philosopher, was an accomplished, young philologist. Although Nietzsche wrote years before Parry, Nietzsche’s interest in the early ancients such as Heraclitus and attic tragedy reflects an appreciation of oral culture. Nietzsche writing after the post-Darwinian, reorganization of human knowledge did not just reject “Classical Metaphysics' ' and Christanity. Nietzsche was also a philologist who truly understood ancient cultures and his project was greatly influenced by this ancient, oral Greek culture, even if he did not describe it in that fashion.
Presenting Tantra Yoga: “Thinking” to “Becoming-Woman” for a Psycho-Ecology of Planetary Regeneration
Authors: Saxena Neela Bhattacharya 
Published: September 2022

Europe and its influential knowledge systems are a late entry into the global marketplace of ideas, but they have had a far-reaching and, in many cases, devastating impact on our planet. Some Christian thinkers themselves now acknowledge that Anthropocene at least partially arose from an ego-centric reading of the Biblical narrative about Adam’s domination over the natural world. We desperately need philosophers of air, water, fire, earth, and sky today, and we require those who can translate thought into praxis to help us find a way out of the crisis. Tantra as a mechanism and praxis has been elaborately developed by master yogis and yoginis. They created what can be called a psycho-ecology of our being where the macrocosm and microcosm meet in profound easeful love of life that can save us from our hungry-ghost-infested minds. This paper presents Tantra Yoga and its Gynocentric systems to contribute toward ecosophical praxis.
Synbiotic, probiotic and neem leaf as alternatives to antibiotic growth promoter in broiler diet
Authors: Ahammed M , Rahman MN 
Published: September 2022

The feeding trial was carried out to compare the effect of probiotic, synbiotic and neem (Azadirachta indica) leaf as alternatives to antibiotic in broiler chicken diets. The experiment was performed for a period of 28 days with a number of 500 day-old straight run broiler chicks. Birds were divided into five dietary treatment groups with 4 replications having 25 birds in each. The dietary groups were; control (Basal diet), synbiotic, probiotic, neem leaf powder (NLP) and antibiotic group. The experimental diets were consisted as broiler starter (day-old to 14 days) and broiler grower (15 to 28 days). The supplementation of synbiotic, probiotic, NLP and antibiotic in the broiler diets had significant effect on growth performance. Diets supplemented with synbiotic showed significantly (p<0.05) higher live weight and weight gain at the end of the experiment compare to the control and antibiotic group. NLP and probiotic supplemented groups also showed significantly higher (p<0.05) body weight and body weight gain compared to control and showed almost similar performance compared to antibiotic group. Better FCR (p<0.05) was also noticed in synbiotic group (1.60) compare to the control (1.79), antibiotic group (1.65), NLP group (1.69) and probiotic group (1.70). There were no significant differences in meat quality characteristics among the dietary groups. The cost of production per kg of live broiler was slightly lower in synbiotic group compared to control and antibiotic groups. With regards to profit, synbiotic groups showed higher profitability than other groups. The result indicated that supplementation of synbiotic, probiotic and NLP in broiler diet had a positive effect on growth performance and profitability. It is therefore suggest that the synbiotic, probiotic and NLP could be potential feed additives in broiler diet and synbiotic could be considered as a better antibiotic alternative for broiler production.
