Objectives: In this systematic review, we aim to evaluate the efficacy of foot reflexology method on pain intensity of labor. Material-Method: The study was done in the second half of 2019 PubMed (MEDLINE), CINAHL (EBSCO), Scopus, Science Citation Index, Science Direct, ULAKBIM (Turkish National Databases) databases were searched using terms and keywords including ‘labor pain’ ‘vaginal delivery’ ‘normal delivery’ ‘pregnancy and delivery’ ‘reflexology’ ‘foot massage’ ‘pain and reflexology’ in three languages. Results: Out of a total of 3292 articles found from databases, 9 articles that had inclusion criteria were included in the study. Studies have shown that foot reflexology during labor reduces the severity of labor pain. Conclusions: Performing foot reflexology as one of the low-risk and low-cost methods of pain relief can be an effective method in reducing pain and duration of labor. It is recommended that more adequately powered studies be done in this area.

Objective: In this study, it was aimed to determine the attitudes of nurses towards the use of T&CM practices in children. Material-Method: This study was designed in a cross-sectional-comparative descriptive design. The study fieldwork was conducted between May and August 2023. Nurses working in a hospital providing secondary health care in eastern Turkey were included in the study. Demographic data of nurses and their attitudes towards holistic complementary and alternative medicine were analysed. Results: It was determined that the mean age of the participants was 33.92 years and 69% of them worked in a state hospital. It was also found that 25.4% of the nurses had used T&CM before, and the most used T&CM method was cupping or leeching with 38.5%. Of those who participated in the study and had previously used T&CM practices, 63.5% reported that they recovered with these practices and 84.6% reported that they recommended the method they used to others. It was determined that 51% of the nurses thought that T&CM practices could be used in children and the most common T&CM method that was thought to be used in children was homeopathy with 50.7%. Conclusion: It was determined that pediatric nurses had a more positive attitude towards T&CM. It was observed that nurses thought that T&CM interventions could be used safely in the treatment of children. Since information about T&CM is obtained from newspapers, magazines, or media programmes, it is thought that integrating T&CM into nursing education curricula may be effective in raising awareness.

Whether to treat fever in the elderly, is a question that has not yet been answered. This review examines the available evidence so far, to arrive at a comprehensive picture about this question. Aged population are a special category due to their lower basal body temperature, blunted fever response and existing co morbidities. The aging immune system undergoes many changes in all its faculties, which alters its ability to mount an efficient acute inflammatory response. In such a scenario, fever is mostly absent and there is a need to revise the fever criteria in the elderly. Having said that, the most successfully aging, centenarians, mount efficient febrile response during infections, indicating that aging itself may not be the reason for the reduced febrile response. Holistic medicine, such as homeopathy, views the fever scenario differently and advocates interference only when the immune system is helpless. The ‘levels of health theory’ explains that the healthiest benefit from fever while those with reduced immunity suffer from it. This theory may prove to be an invaluable clinical tool to arrive at definite clinical guidelines concerning the treatment of fever, especially in the elderly. However, it requires scientific investigation before it can be used as a clinical tool. There is no conclusive evidence on whether fever must be treated or not in the elderly and whether holistic medicine may have a solution to this dilemma. This is a research gap that needs to be filled with quality studies in the current health scenario.

In this review study, we aimed to show the effects of acupuncture on obesity in the light of recent studies. Obesity is an important health problem that is accepted as a risk factor for many diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, cardiovascular disease, fatty liver and has become an epidemic all over the world. Acupuncture is a form of treatment applied by inserting needles into specific points on the body for therapeutic purposes. There are still uncertainties about whether acupuncture practices alone are effective in the treatment of obesity. In addition, there is evidence that it stimulates some anorexigenic hormones, inhibits some orexigenic hormones, and as a result suppresses appetite. It has been reported in the literature that these effects of acupuncture are much more effective when applied together with diet and exercise. Acupuncture reduces the appetite of obese patients, increases their compliance with diet and exercise, and reduces the anxiety caused by hypocaloric nutrition with the anxiolysis effect it creates. It also accelerates metabolism by providing homeostasis in the body and enables patients to lose weight. In these multidisciplinary treatment approaches, it would be very beneficial to include acupuncture treatment, which is one of the complementary and alternative treatment methods in the treatment of obesity.

Objective: The aim of the study is to use two different plant extracts such as St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum) and Centella asiatica (L.) in the cream formulation and to determine the anti-aging effect of the new formulation. Material-Method: The plants used in the study were obtained commercially and plant extracts were obtained using the classical extraction techniques in the literature. The active ingredients in the obtained extracts were determined by HPLC method. Physical, protective efficacy, microbial analysis and anti-aging tests were carried out for cream formulations obtained with extracts. Results: Plant extraction studies were carried out in the study. Centella asiatica (L.) was extracted with 20.8% yield at 20 mL of methanol and 60 ℃. As a result of HPLC analysis, it was determined that there were 1740 mg/kg asiatic acid and 4380 mg/kg madecasic acid in the extract. In the extraction studies performed on Hypericum perforatum, the expected active ingredient, hypericin, was not found. For this reason, commercial extract containing 2.5% hyperforin was obtained and the studies were continued on these extracts and final cream formulations were obtained. Conclusion: pH, viscosity, density, protective effectiveness tests and microbial analysis tests of the final formulations were performed. In addition, in vitro anti-aging studies have been carried out in accredited laboratories. With in-vitro anti-aging tests, it was determined that the level of collagen 1A increased more in the formulation where both extracts were used together.

Objective: Candida strains have been frequently associated with nosocomial infections in recent years. On the other hand, public prefer natural resources rather than synthetic materials. Therefore, it is important to research combine effects of natural products. This study aimed to investigate the antifungal and antibiofilm effectiveness of essential oils and propolis containing samples on Candida species and the toxicity of samples. Material-Method: Three different samples were prepared with propolis, lavender oil and thyme oil. Gas Chromatography-mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) GC/MS was used for the determination of organic compounds in samples. The antifungal effects of a natural product mix were tested against C. albicans, C. krusei and C. parapsilosis by disk diffusion method. MIC and MFC tests of the mixture were performed against a standard such as Nystatin. Antibiofilm tests were performed with the microplate system, taking into account the detected concentrations. Finally, in the cytotoxicity test investigated in the L929 cell line with the WST-1 kit. Results: C. albicans was determined as the most sensitive species (MIC50: 90 ppm, MIC90: 750 ppm MFC: 3120 ppm). In the antibiofilm tests, it was determined that the sample was more effective on C. albicans and it inhibited biofilm formation. Also it was determined the IC50 value was 5052 ppm. Conclusion: The natural product mixture, which has scientifically proven antifungal effect, has a feature that has high added value and contributes to the economy. But of course, it has to investigate by further studies. The findings of this study may lead to new therapeutic approaches with standardized natural products in the future.
