Health is not only a phenomenon with a medical dimension. It also has social and psychological aspects. Especially illnesses become a phenomenon that defines the individual in society and causes stigmatisation in the eyes of other people. In this study, qualitative research method was preferred in order to identify the illnesses that are thought to be identified by the society and to reveal the reasons for the identification of illnesses from the eyes of the society, and data were collected from 152 volunteer participants over the age of 18 through a structured questionnaire. It was determined that 51 different illnesses can become an identity. Among these diseases, diabetes (51), cancer (46) and heart diseases (37) were found to be prominent. In the same way, it has been determined that the limitations caused by diseases, the acceptance of the disease by the individual and the changes caused by the disease in the individual, the shaping of life by the disease, the necessity of the disease, the continuity of the disease and other features of the disease, the prioritisation of the disease and negative attitudes and behaviours towards the sick individual can cause a disease to become an identity.

This study was conducted to determine the plant protection issues encountered in oilseed sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) production in Sivas province, Türkiye. In this study, a total of 88 producers from Sivas province (including the districts of Merkez, Zara, Hafik, and Yıldızeli) were interviewed and survey forms were filled out. The survey data covers the 2022 production season. According to the findings of the study, sunflower producers face various problems related to diseases, pests, and weeds. Producers identified factors such as sunflower wilt (26.14%), sunflower rust (9.09%), bird damage (30.68%), wild boar damage (25.00%), Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense) infestation (75.00%), and wild mustard (Sinapis arvensis) infestation (67.05%) as significant agricultural pest issues in sunflower production areas. In sunflower agriculture, producers reported using both chemical and cultural methods, adjusting the type and dosage of pesticides according to the recommendations of agricultural pesticide dealers. Additionally, producers mentioned the uncertainty of sunflower prices as one of the main problems they face. To achieve higher yields in sunflower farming, it would be beneficial for producers to participate in training programs organized by agricultural institutions on cultivation practices as well as plant protection agents and their management.

Hastalık nedeniyle çekilen bedensel acılar duygulara da yansımaktadır. Öznel varsaydığımız duygularımız bir yandan da kolektivite içerisinde oluşmaktadır. Albert Camus’nün 1940’lı yıllarda Cezayir’de geçen \textit{Veba} adlı romanında salgın hastalık nedeniyle Oran kentinin dış dünyaya kapanması, doktor Rieux ve arkadaşlarının salgın hastalığa karşı mücadeleleri anlatılmaktadır. Romanda yaşanan toplumsal, siyasi ve medikal/tıbbi durumlara yönelik bireylerin tepkilerinde farklılıklar görüldüğü gibi toplumsal olarak öne çıkan bir takım duygusal ortaklıklar da bulunmaktadır. Veba nedeniyle bir felaket yaşanmıştır ve bunun duyguları etkilememesi mümkün değildir. Duygular, düşünce ve mantığın karşıtı pozisyonda yer almadığı kabulüyle, bedenleri de bir yandan şekillendirmektedir. Romanda ‘başkalarının acısına’ tanık olmak ve hastalığa dair önlemler neticesinde karantinalar, kentin kapanması hatta enfeksiyon bulaşır endişesiyle mektup gönderememek bireylerin kolektif birtakım duygularını tetiklemiştir. Bu duygulardan özellikle özgürlük, sürgün ve nostalji üzerinde durulacaktır. Edebiyatta veba ve hastalık nedeniyle hissedilen acının metinlerarası \textit{(intertextuality)} bir şekilde ve Bakhtin’in diyaloji kavramı temel alınarak özneler arasında dolaşımına da imkan verdiği tartışılmaktadır. Salgın bir hastalık belirli bir yer ve mekânda oluşsa da bu hastalığın temsille sınırlan(a)mayan acısının edebiyat ve gerçek hayat arasındaki keskin sınırları bozduğu görülmektedir.

Many biological experiments have proven that lncRNA is related to various complex human diseases. Therefore, knowing the lncRNA-disease relationships not only facilitates the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of the disease helps to understand the disease mechanism. However, determining the lncRNA-disease relationships through biological experiments is both costly and timeconsuming. For this reason, many researchers have suggested calculational methods to forecast potential relationships between lncRNAs and diseases. In this study, we suggest a computational method named NMF to forecast possible lncRNAs, based on the assumption that functionally similar lncRNAs tend to associate with phenotypically similar diseases. This method integrates the lncRNA expression similarity network, the lncRNA cosine similarity network, the disease semantic similarity network, the disease cosine similarity network, and the known lncRNA-disease relationship network. To demonstrate the prediction accuracy of our method, we applied 5-fold crossvalidation and leave-out cross-validation techniques and obtained ROC plots. AUC of 0.7837 for 5-fold crossvalidation and 0.8551 AUC for leave-out cross-validation were calculated. The results show that the NMF method has reliable prediction performance.

İslam uygarlığının özelliklerini yansıtan kurumlardan biri de hastanelerdir. Tarihi süreç içinde “bîmâristan dâruşşifa, şifâhâne” gibi farklı isimlerle adlandırılan bu kurumlar, ait oldukları toplumların gelişmişlik seviyelerini ve canlıya verdikleri değeri de gösterirler. İslam uygarlığının en parlak döneminde Bağdat’da kurulan ve sonrakilere örnek olan Adudî hastanesi sözünü ettiğimiz özellikleri yansıtması açısından önemli bir örnektir. Bu kurumun tanıtılması için alanın uzmanlarından Ahmet GÜNER tarafından telif edilen “Biyografilerle Adudî Hastahanesi Tarihi” adlı eser; hem bu kurumun tanıtılmasını hem de dönemiyle ilgili gelişmişlik seviyesini göstermesi açısından önem arz etmektedir. Eserin değerlendirilmesini yönelik olmak üzere; İslam uygarlığı kurumları içinde hastanelerin yeri, eseri telif eden müellifin konuyla ilgili vukûfiyeti, ilgili dönemde kurulan sağlık kurumlarının tanıtılması için çalışmanın önemi gibi konular üzerinde durulmuştur.

Culture is a way of thinking that has changed from the past to the present and forms the identity of the society with its unique art, belief, customs and behaviors. In this respect, it includes all material and spiritual elements that are revealed, valued and shared in society. Culture guides the individual on how to perceive or behave. At this point, culture has an important point in the perception and explanation of the disease states faced by the individual. Culture has a decisive role in all stages such as catching the disease, experiencing the disease, carrying the roles of the disease, trying to cope with the disease, complaining about the disease. Therefore, in this study, it is aimed to examine the interaction between culture and disease theoretically. As a result of the study, it is seen that individuals try to have information on diseases according to culture and develop behaviors towards the disease. In this respect, it has been concluded that culture creates a placebo and nocebo effect. While the placebo effect is perceived as a healing power on individuals, it is seen that the nocebo effect creates a pathological condition on individuals. For this reason, it is important for health professionals to determine the source of the disease by considering the cultures of the individuals while providing health services.

When it comes to health and disease, the first thing that comes to mind is medicine and biology. However, health and illness also have social and cultural contexts. Today, being healthy is extremely important for individuals and societies. Individuals can improve and maintain their health by exhibiting healthy lifestyle behaviors. One of the factors that affect the display of healthy lifestyle behaviors is gender. In other words, there is a relationship between gender and healthy lifestyle behaviors such as health responsibility, physical activity, nutrition, interpersonal relationships and stress management. This relationship can be explained based on social and cultural factors. The aim of this study is to reveal the relationship between gender and healthy lifestyle behaviors. In this context, the Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors scale was applied to the sampling covering six (6) neighborhoods of Karaman. 241 (51.4%) men and 228 (48.6%) women were included in the study. According to the t-test results showing the relationship between healthy lifestyle behaviors and gender, women's health responsibility, nutrition and interpersonal relations sub-dimension scores were found to be significantly higher than men's. However, physical activity and stress management, the other two subdimensions of healthy lifestyle behaviors, did not differ significantly by gender. In the study, the relationship between gender and healthy lifestyle behaviors was evaluated in the sociological and cultural context, based on the findings of the research, and by making use of the results of other studies on the subject, and various suggestions were made.

Epidemics are contagious diseases that profoundly affect societies and spread rapidly. In ancient times, epidemic diseases in civilizations such as Sumer, Assyria, and Egypt spread to enormous masses in the Hittite society and significantly affected human life. The plague prayers written by Muršili II against the epidemic are essential sources that provide information about the emergence and process of the disease. In these prayers, Muršili II prays to the gods and wants the disease removed from the country. Because the Hittites based the epidemics on religious reasons, they tried to prevent the disease with religious rituals, not with a medical treatment method. The belief in associating diseases with religion caused the epidemic to spread faster and last longer. This disease, which first appeared during the reign of Hittite King Šuppiluliuma I and caused mass deaths, is referred to as henkan/hinkan in Hittite sources. The word Henkan means deadly disease or plague. The plague epidemic, which reached a significant rate of spread during the reign of Muršili II, had an extended period, such as twenty years in the country. After Muršili II, there was no information about the epidemic in the sources. This situation makes us think that the disease left the country during Muršili II. It is unknown whether the epidemic disease experienced is the same as the plague known today. However, the probability that the epidemic was brought to the country by Egyptian POWs is considered vital. When we evaluate the symptoms of the epidemic in Egypt, it is thought that the disease in the region is most likely a plague. In this context, the study aims to create a new perspective on the definition of the disease by revealing the similar and different aspects of the epidemic seen in Egypt and the Hittites. The limited number of studies on the subject is essential regarding the study's contribution to the literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aimed to determine the economic losses due to calf diseases and deaths in intensive dairy cattle. The study was conducted using data from a total of 1147 calves on a private dairy farm in Kayseri-Develi between October 2020 and October 2021. The calves examined throughout the study were divided into three different status: D1 (healthy), D2 (recovered), and D3 (death). For the death calves, additional labour, veterinarian, medicine/treatment costs, and the cost of the decreased calf are included in the calculations. While determining the price of the death calves, the calf prices determined by TİGEM according to race and gender were taken into account. In the study, it was determined that the number of sick calves was 626 (54.6%), the number of diseases (case) was 809 (70.5), and the calf mortality rate was 13.3%. It was determined that maternal age, lactation number of the cow, birth season, father (bull), calf race, and colostrum intake were effective on calf morbidity and mortality (P<0.05). In the study, it was determined that the rearing costs of healthy, sick, and death calves up to weaning were 6295.3TL ($340.2), 6508.6TL ($351.8) and 2547.3TL ($137.7), respectively. The costs of most common digestive system diseases in the study calculated between 175.4-186.5TL/case (9.5-10.1 $/case) and respiratory system diseases between 114.0-138.1TL/case (6.2-7.5 $/case). The cost of calf death due to digestive system diseases calculated 8199.0-10190.5TL ($443.2-550.8) and calf death due to respiratory system diseases calculated 7642.6-11860.1TL ($413.1-641.1). While the total cost of calf diseases was 122650.8TL/year (6629.8 $/year), the total economic losses of deaths was 1462618.8TL/year (79060.5 $/year). In dairy cattle farming, to reduce diseases and deaths in calves, is necessary to know the risk factors affecting the calf health (generally the practices of the farms, the risk factors of the cow and the calf) and to take the necessary precautions. In this study, the economic losses of calves due to disease and death in Turkish conditions were calculated and decision support was provided to make more profitable livestock production.

Yetişkin bir insanın dengeli olarak beslenebilmesi için; bir günde 2800-3000 kalori ve en az 75-80 g protein alması ve alınan bu proteinin de en az 30-35 g’ının hayvansal kökenli olması gerekmektedir. Besin maddeleri karbonhidratlar, proteinler, lipitler, vitaminler ve minerallerden oluşmaktadır. Bütün gıdalar az veya çok bu bileşikleri içerir. Bitkisel kökenli besinlerde bu bileşikler olsa da et, süt, yumurta, bal gibi hayvansal kökenli besinlerde proteince zengin olmasının yanında içerdiği proteinin biyolojik değerliliği de yüksektir. Hayvansal ürünlerin hastalıkların tedavilerine destek olarak kullanılması üzerinde durulduğunda da keçi sütünün öneminin belirtilmesi gerekmektedir. Keçi sütlerinden birçok hastalıkların tedavisinde yararlanıldığı bilinmektedir. Keçi sütü ve keçi sütü ürünlerinin düzenli olarak tüketilmesinin egzema, astım, sindirim rahatsızlıkları, varisle ilgili bazı rahatsızlıklar, virus apseleri ve bazı alerjik durumların tedavisinde yararlı olduğu uygulamalardan alınan olumlu sonuçlarla belirlenmiştir. “Apiterapi “ arı ürünleri ile tedavi yöntemidir ve ülkemizde hızlı bir gelişme göstermektedir. Arıcılık aktivitelerinden elde edilen ürünler; bal, polen, propolis, arı sütü, arı zehiri gibi ürünlerdir. Bu ürünler halk arasında birçok hastalıklarda (uykusuzluk, sindirim sistemi hastalıkları, üst solunum yolu enfeksiyonları, romatizmal, gripal, ortopedik hastalıklar, deri kanseri, ekzema, astım, damar sertliği, mide barsak hastalıkları, romatizmal hastalıklar, böbrek, idrar yolu enfeksiyonları vb.) tedavilere takviye olarak kullanılmaktadır. Bal, propolis, arı sütü mükemmel bir antibakteriyel özelliğe sahiptir. Arı zehirinin antiromatizmal özelliği bulunmakta, polende immünolojik hastalıkların tedavisinde kullanılmaktadır. Hayvansal ürünlerin beslenme ve sağlık açısından önemi de göz ardı edilmemeli ve konuyla ilgili daha fazla çalışmanın yapılması gerekmektedir.

İnsanlık tarihi boyunca görülen salgın hastalıklar insanların korkulu rüyaları olmuştur. İnsanlar salgının mikroplardan kaynaklandığını bilmediği için uzunca bir süre salgının tanrılar tarafından gönderildiklerini düşünmüşlerdir. Atina salgınından itibaren ise salgının dinsel sebepli olmadığı da düşünülmeye başlanmıştır. Salgın hastalıkların toplumlar üzerindeki en önemli etkisi öldürme güçleri olmuştur. Tarih boyunca özellikle de eskiçağda görülen salgın hastalıklar yüksek ölüm oranlarına sahip olmuşlardır. Salgınların öldürme güçlerinin yanında sosyal, ekonomik ve dini alanlarda pek çok değişime sebep oldukları bilinmektedir. Salgınların tanrı tarafından gönderildiği düşüncesi salgının gene tanrı tarafından ortadan kaldırılabileceği inancını getirmiştir. İnsanlar salgından kurtulmak için tanrılarına dualar etmişler ve onlar için çeşitli sunular gerçekleştirmişlerdir. İnandıkları tanrısal güçlerin salgını durdurmada yetersiz olduklarını gördükleri zaman bazı insanlar dinden uzaklaşmaya başlamışlardır. Bu insanlar inançsızlık, panteondaki bir diğer tanrıya daha fazla önem verme veya dışarıdan bilinmeyen yeni dinleri kabul etme yollarından birini seçmişlerdir. Belirtilen yollardan son ikisi, ilk belirtilene göre daha çok tercih edilmiştir. Salgın hastalıklara karşı insanların davranışları toplumdan topluma çeşitlilik göstermiştir. Toplumların reaksiyonları genellikle yeni inançların kabulü veya o inançlarda çareler aramak olmuştur. Bu çalışmada salgın hastalıkların sonucu antik Akdeniz toplumlarında yaşanan dinsel gelişmeler ve özellikle salgınların yeni inançlara geçişteki önemi incelenmiştir.

Fransız düşünür Michel Foucault, sosyal bilime yaptığı katkılar ile bedene ve tıbba olan bakış açısını değiştirerek sağlık ve hastalık sosyolojisine önemli kazanımlar sağlamıştır. “Biyo-İktidar” kavramı Foucault tarafından ortaya konulmuş olup, toplumun ve nüfusun kontrol edilmesinin mümkünlüğünden bahsetmektedir. Bu noktada biyo-iktidar kavramı bedenler üzerinde kurulan iktidar olarak tanımlanabilecektir. “Biyo-politika” kavramı ise biyo-iktidar kavramının daha öznel bir çerçevede ele alınması ile şekillenmiştir. Biyo-politika, insan biyolojisi ve politikayı bağdaştırarak yaşamı idame etmek, sürdürmek, düzene koymak ve çoğalmak gibi kavramları ortaya çıkarmaktadır. Araştırmada sağlık ve hastalık kavramlarının biyo-politika çerçevesinde değerlendirmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu bağlamda araştırma kapsamında, biyo-iktidar ve biyo-politika kavramlarına Foucault’un görüşleri temel alınarak detaylı bir şekilde yer verilmiş, sağlık ve hastalığın biyo-politika çerçevesinde değerlendirmesinin yapılması ve değişen bakış açıları kavramsal çerçevede ortaya konulmuştur.

Introduction: Improvement of surgical outcomes in emergency laparotomy surgery remained dubious. Physiology and Operative Severity Score for the enumeration of Mortality (POSSUM) and Portsmouth-POSSUM (P-POSSUM) have been validated in multiple studies. The objective of this study is to determine the value of both as surgical audit tool predicting the morbidity and mortality of emergency laparotomy in a single tertiary centre in Malaysia. Methods: A retrospective review was performed in Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia after obtaining ethical approval. All adult subjects that underwent emergency abdominal surgery from 2012 until 2015 were reviewed. Data collected were subjects' demography, clinical-pathological profiles and clinical pathway characteristics. Expected morbidity and mortality were calculated using POSSUMs risk prediction model and subsequently compared against the observed outcome. The risk prediction model was analyzed using Hosmer and Lemeshow Goodness of Fit statistical test. Results: Eighty-three (83) subjects were analyzed in this study. The proportion of 30-day in-hospital morbidity was 44 (53.0%) subjects and in-hospital mortality was 12 (14.5%) subjects. Eighteen subjects that developed in-hospital morbidity had suffered a respiratory complication. The observed-to-expected ratio of POSSUM predicting morbidity was 0.9 and P-POSSUM predicting morbidity was 0.8. However, using Hosmer and Lemershow Goodness of Fit statistical analysis, the p-value of less than 0.05 showed both POSSUM and P-POSSUM predicted poor morbidity and mortality across all risk stratifications in this population. Conclusions: POSSUM and P-POSSUM are not suitable for surgical audit tool in this centre because both produce a poor prediction of in-hospital morbidity and mortality in emergency laparotomy.

The works of philosophers who worked and wrote in the field of health and medicine in the Ancient Age are very important in that they convey the development in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Skeletal system disorders constitute the most concrete evidences of the diseases that ancient people were exposed to. Information can be attained regarding the lifestyle, nutrition, traumas and social status of ancient societies thanks to the findings revealed by the science of Paleopathology. Since the disease remains of the soft tissues could not reach the present day, the information conveyed by the ancient authors makes up for the deficiency in this field. However, it is understood that chronic diseases such as osteoarthritis, which is common in ancient societies, receive little attention since some of the people treating the diseases are not physicians. However, this disease is a joint disease with a high incidence since prehistoric times. In this study, which uses the information about Musculoskeletal System diseases in written sources and Archaeometry Results of recent years as a source, the purpose is to specifically address Musculoskeletal System diseases that the physicians of Ancient Age frequently encountered and how they struggled with these disease [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

As a result of the spread of the COVID-19 virus all over the world, starting from China in 2019, curiosity about the course of the epidemics that took place in history has increased. Many outbreaks have occurred in history, and many precautions have been brought against these diseases. Islam is a religion based on hygiene and cleanliness, both physically and spiritually. In the history of Islam, Hz. Prophet has many pieces of advice about the precautions to be taken against epidemics. In addition to outbreaks in the world, another factor that affects people both physiologically and psychologically and is released in a controlled manner is the microorganisms used as biological weapons. These weapons cause more chaos and terror than epidemics. Moreover, even small amounts are enough to destroy millions of people. COVID-19 is the last pandemic in the world, and its effects are still ongoing. Although some claim that this virus is a biological weapon programmed in the laboratory, genetic sequencing has proven it to be natural. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The foundations of semiotics were laid in the early 20th century by the Swiss linguist Ferdinand de Saussure and the American philosopher Charles Sanders Peirce. Sustaining their studies unaware of each other, while Saussere, one of these two scientists, who designed the sign as a dual model in the relationship between the "signifier" and the "signified", Peirce put forward a more inclusive theory. Peirce's triple model consists of the "object", the "representament" and the "interpretant". The "interpretant" element introduced by Peirce to the field of semiotics is extremely important in determining the sign. In the absence of an "interpretant", it is often not possible to talk about the sign. In our study, the elements related to illness and health in Menâkıbü'lârifin, which was written by Ahmet Eflaki in the XIV. century, were examined in relation to signifier, signified, interpretant and context. The work consisting of independent anecdotes compiled from the Mevlevi neighbourhood contains some applications about diseases and their treatment methods. These practices are informative about the living conditions of the period, the understanding of illness and health, and their treatment methods. However, an "interpretant" is needed in order to establish the cause-effect relationship between diseases and their symptoms. In the absence of an "interpretant", it is seen that the symptoms of the disease are directly accepted as the disease itself. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

İnsanoğlu tarihte ilk olarak varoluşundan günümüze değin pek çok sorunla karşılaşmıştır. Bunların içerisinde toplumları kitleler halinde yaşanılan coğrafyaları harabeye çeviren siyasal problemlerden tutun kişisel sorunlara kadar sayısız örnekler vermek mümkündür. Kişisel ve bazen de toplumsal boyutlara ulaşan en önemli konulardan biriside sağlık olmuştur. Sağlık insanlar için sadece kaybedildiğinde hastalık durumunda tedavi olunması gereken bir konu değil aynı zamanda bu durumun dışında korunulması gereken bir şeydir. Sağlık bilimleri ile uğraşmak her zaman hastalık tedavisi değildir. Hastalığın kaynağı ve onun nasıl kişisel olsun bireysel olsun tarihin her döneminde tartışılmıştır. Bu tartışmalar ve araştırmalar bilimsel ve bazen de metafizik dediğimiz kimi sonuçları insanların önüne getirmiştir. İncelemesini yapacağımız eser bu konuyu tarihsel boyutları ile alırken aynı zamanda fenomenolojik boyutları ile de ele almaktadır.

In recent years the number of phytoplasma diseases that negatively affect yield and quality of many plants has been increasing around the world. As is known grafting, plant propagation materials (seed, bulb, tuber), parasitic plants and insect vectors play active role in the spread of phytoplasmas causing these diseases. These organasim which get through plate in the sieve tube element and systemically colonize the plant, it invade and multiply salivary glands, midgut, heomocel, brain and fat tissue after sucking up insect body with stylet. Subsequently they continue the cycle by moving to a new plant with a diseased insect feeding on a healthy plant. Although the existence of functional genomics in this cycle is known, there is little information about transmission of phytoplasma from vector to host plant or from host plant to vector, the mechanism of disease caused by phytoplasma in the plant and genomics involved in different reactions in the host plant against phytoplasmal infection.

People have sought cures for the diseases and ailments they have experienced since ancient times. These were sometimes the sorcerers, herbalists, embers, enchanters, atasaguns or shamans of the period, and sometimes the physicians who worked on modern medicine of the period. Anatolia, as the land where civilizations intersect, contains traces of many cultures and has a very deep structure in terms of cultural accumulation. Considering ancient medicine in Anatolia, it can be seen that sometimes modern medical knowledge and traditional folk medicine methods are used together. These methods are frequently mentioned in written texts and many works in the field of health, both in copyright and translation, have been created. The fact that they include easy treatment methods for illnesses and that they contain medical information that the public can use in daily life emphasize the importance of such texts. It is known that the oldest medical texts in Turkish written in Anatolia were created in the 14th century. Since then, many works including field information such as medicine, folk medicine, pharmacology, botany have a special importance in terms of fully revealing the vocabulary and structure of our language. The text, which is our subject of study, is registered in the collection of Ankara National Library Elazig Provincial Public Library with the number 23 Hk 2/3. The title of the work appears to be Manzûme-i Tıb and its author Ferdî. The text, written in "me fâ? î lün me fâ? î lün fe? û lün" prosody pattern and consists of 61 couplets. Although the name of the author appears as Ferdî in the manuscript, the note that the author is not known was written at the beginning of the work. Although the year of writing is not known, the text was written in Old Anatolian Turkish. The note to the head of the manuscript contains the information that it contains some information about health protection. In its content, factors affecting health and disease are emphasized. The medical knowledge until the time of writing and some practices from the field of folk medicine have been combined to include behaviors that should be done in the treatment of diseases and avoided for some diseases. Writing a text on the subject of medicine with prosody, besides the purpose of informing, it also ensures the permanence of the information transferred in a certain harmony. In the text, on the subject of diseases; Problems such as indigestion, headache, sore throat or dry throat, weakness, paralysis, sciatica, meningitis, constipation, hemorrhoids, cramps and pain were included. Among the treatments; Methods such as vomiting, laxative, cupping, and consent have been discussed. Although in small numbers, there are herbal preparations that can be used for some ailments such as tooth jaundice and bad breath. In the face of some ailments and conditions, the daily foods recommended for therapeutic purposes have been pointed out. It is seen that information about mood is also included in addition to physical health. In our study, by giving the transcription of the aforementioned manuscript, it will be pointed out the diseases, diseases and the treatment methods recommended for them. These suggestions will be examined under the headings of beneficial and harmful actions. Comparisons will be made by giving examples from other medical texts written in Anatolia. At the end of the review, there will be a glossary of terms used in the fields of medicine and folk medicine. With further examination of such texts, Old Anatolian Turkish vocabulary will be put forward in a healthier way and data that shed light on various fields such as botany, folklore, pharmacology and psychology will be obtained along with medicine.

To control coccidiosis, anticoccidials are generally used as feed additives. However, the frequent usage has given rise to the occurrence of resistant strains to available anticoccidial drugs. Botanicals may work as substitutes to anticoccidial drugs. The current research was designed to evaluate the efficacy of aqueous methanol extracts of Glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice) (roots) as anticoccidial in different concentrations i.e. (100, 200 and 300 mg/kg of body weight). For in vivo trial, 105-day-old broiler birds were grouped into seven equal groups (A, B, C, D, E, F and G). At the age of one week, groups A, B and C were orally treated with three doses of the G. glabra extracts (100, 200 and 300 mg/kg of body weight, respectively). Group D was medicated with Vitamin E and Group E worked as the infected medicated control group. Group F served as the infected non-medicated control group (PBS treated, negative control) and Group G was designated as the normal control group (non-infected and nonmedicated group). At the age of the 14th day, all groups were infected orally with 60.000 sporulated oocysts of different Eimeria species. Though, comparable with reference drug G. glabra showed comparable anticoccidial efficacy against following parameters. i.e., feed conversion ratio, lesion score, fecal score and oocyst score, serum profile and hematological values showed no adversative effects (P<0.05) than infected non-medicated (negative control) group of aqueous methanol extract of G. glabra on the trial broiler birds. So, in this study the biochemical and therapeutic property of G. glabra extract found dose dependent manner against coccidiosis in broiler chickens. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A large number of terms that mean illness, pain and ache were interchangeably practised in the Old Turkic language. The Uighur Turkic language particularly uses terms of disease, pain and ache abundantly. In most cases, the differences between these terms which mean disease are conspicuous and are frequently witnessed in collocations, mostly as reduplications or all together to provide the same. Most studies on medical terms have been carried out and still pursued in both Old Turkish and other historical periods of Turkish language. This study concerns the terms agrıg, ig, kegen, kem, tikig, toga which generally mean "sickness" and "pain", not terms referring diseases or limbs in Old Uighur Turkic and some determinations and attention will be presented about the use of these terms in the texts of the period.

Epigenetic change refers to a phenotypic alteration without permanent genotypic change, which occurs through chromatin modification, DNA methylation, histone modification, chromatin-regulating proteins and non-coding RNAs. Post-transcriptional m6A RNA methylation is also a newly described epigenetic mechanism and believed to be a new diagnostic biomarker and potential therapeutic target. It is a well-known fact that epigenetic changes play a significant role in the development and progression of several nonneoplastic and neoplastic diseases. Therefore, epigenetic changes are of value in diagnostic and prognostic terms. On the other hand, with the development of personalized medicine and targeted treatment approaches, treatment strategies targeting the epigenetic changes are becoming a promising area for many diseases. The aim of this review is to provide information about the mechanisms of epigenetic changes and their role in the development of neoplastic and nonneoplastic diseases, which may be helpful for the clinicians and laboratory medicine experts for further researchs.

This study is based on Celil Orhan's manuscript titled "History of Mamuretü'l-Aziz (Harput) and Harsî Tetkikat". Celil Orhan wrote this work while he was working in the province of Mamuretü'l-Aziz. In our study, after giving general information about the manuscript and the author, folk medicine practices were emphasized. In this context, there is information about the general health status of the people living in the center of the province of Mamuretü'l-Aziz and in the countryside. The character structures of the people living in Mamuretü'l-Aziz were determined as demevi temperament and saffron temperament. Temperament types are effective in people's nutrition and illness. Various diseases such as fever, typhoid, eye, skin, stomach, intestine are seen in the province of Mamuretü'l-Aziz. Celil Orhan's manuscript contains information about the treatment methods of these diseases. These methods are in the form of folk medicine practices. In folk medicine folk remedies were widely used. Diseases were cured with rituals performed in places such as tombs, graves and visits. In addition to all these, medical methods were applied in the treatment of diseases in the province of Mamuretü'l-Aziz. It is understood from Celil Orhan's manuscript that there were two hospitals in the center of Mamuretü'l-Aziz. These are military and country hospitals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, it is aimed to classify the factors affecting calf diseases with Artificial Neural Networks (YSA), Random Forest Algorithm (RO) and Logistic Regression Analysis (LR), to reveal the usability of these methods and to compare their performances. The research material consisted of the farm records of 54 calves kept in Erciyes University, Agricultural Research and Application Center between 2018-2021. In the statistical analysis, the disease history of the calves was the dependent variable; calves gender, breed, birth season, maternal breed, and maternal lactation number were determined as independent variables. Classification performances were compared with sensitivity, specificity, precision, accuracy, f-measure, Youden index, area under the ROC curve (AUC) and Cohen's kappa coefficient. According to the research results, the most successful classifiers in terms of sensitivity, selectivity, precision, accuracy, F-measure, Youden's index and Cohen's kappa; LR (0.828), ANN (0.947), ANN (0.964), ANN (0.833), ANN (0.857), ANN (0.719), ANN (0.663), respectively. In conclusion, it has been reached that be used classification methods correctly classify the factors affecting calf diseases with a somewhat margin of error and YSA is more successful for all performance values except sensitivity. It is thought that these methods will help determine calf diseases with proactive approaches and prevent economic losses in livestock enterprises. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
