Since time immemorial humankind benefits from plants as nutritient, medicine, cosmetic or to make tools and shelters for itself. Through history, traditional knowledge was gathered by trial-and-error method, practices were developed and sustained. It has been passed on from generation to generation to reach our day. This study aims to gather information on medicinal plants used traditionally against cardiovascular diseases in Turkey before it is lost forever. The library of Istanbul University being in the first place, the approachable sources has been scanned throughly. Plants’ scientific name, Turkish name, family, used parts, method of uses and the effects has been put together in a table. As a result, we composed a report of 129 plants of 43 families used for cardiovascular diseases. It has been concluded that of these, the most outstanding herbs are Crataegus monogyna Jacq., Lavandula stoechas L., Melissa officinalis L., Tribulus terrestris L., Urtica dioica L. and Viscum album L. Rosaceae, Lamiaceae and Asteraceae were the most used plant families. It has been detected that the people mostly benefit from the the leaves, aerial parts, fruit and flowers of medicinal plants as infusion or decoction. Although the biological activity studies on the plants most used by the people support the use in cardiovascular diseases, more studies are needed to provide scientific evidence to folklore use, especially for L. stoechas. It is thought that this study may be a resource for the development of future herbal medicines or treatments.

Objective: In the study, it was aimed to determine the relationship between CAM methods which pregnant women planned to apply in order to reduce their pain in childbirth and fear of childbirth and childbirth self-efficacy. Material-Method: The study was conducted in a cross-sectional design. It was completed with 455 pregnant women who met the inclusion criteria and did not have any risks related to their pregnancy. The study data were collected through Identifying Information Form, which also aimed to determine CAM methods planned to be used, The Wijma Delivery Expectancy/Experience Questionnaire (W-DEQ) Version A, and Childbirth Self-Efficacy Inventory. In the comparison of CAM users and non-users according to their identifying characteristics, Chi-square test was used for categorical variables. In the comparison between the participants’ W-DEQ A, CBSEI total scale mean scores and subscale mean scores and CAM methods they planned to use in childbirth to reduce their pain, Mann-Whitney U test was employed. Results: In the study, it was determined that the pregnant women planned to use mind-body based CAM methods by 31.4%, manipulative and body-based methods by 25, biologically based methods by 1.1%, energy therapy methods by 0.9%, and alternative medicine methods by 0.7%. It was also found that the pregnant women planned to use methods such as praying (n=88), listening to music (n=27), yoga (n=11), breathing exercise (n=10), and massage (n=8) the most, respectively. In addition, it was determined that there was a significant difference between CBSEI efficacy and outcome expectancy subscales mean scores and CBSEI total scale mean score of the pregnant women who did not plan to apply CAM methods to reduce their labor pain compared to those who planned to use these methods. Conclusion: It was found in the study that the pregnant women planned to use mind-body based methods the most in order to reduce their pain in childbirth. The use of other methods was limited. It was also determined that there was no significant difference between the groups in terms of fear of childbirth according to their planning to use CAM methods to reduce their pain in childbirth, and that childbirth self-efficacy levels of those who planned to use CAM methods were significantly low.

The history of Sudanese traditional medicine is well-established and ancient since the civilization of Kush and Meroe, through the Islamic kingdoms in Sennar, Kordofan, and Darfur, up to the period of Turkish and English-Egyptian colonization, and the development of traditional medicine until it reached what it is now in Sudan from the spread of folk healers. Traditional medicine healers are those who practice medicine by genetics, experience, knowledge, and subjective experience. In this chapter, the most important traditional healing practices such as Alfaki, Alkaiy, All Basir, etc. have been highlighted throughout history.
苏丹传统医学的历史由来已久，从库什和梅罗文明开始，经过塞纳尔、科尔多凡和达尔富尔的伊斯兰王国，一直到土耳其和英国-埃及殖民时期，传统医学的发展直到民间治疗师的传播才发展到现在的苏丹。传统医学治疗师是那些通过基因、经验、知识和主观经验来行医的人。在这一章中，历史上最重要的传统治疗方法，如Alfaki, Alkaiy, All Basir等都得到了强调。

Objective: This study focused on the in vitro antibacterial efficacy of papaya seed ethanolic and aqueous extracts against Salmonella spp. and Candida albicans. Material-Method: Dry seeds of Carica papaya were extracted with ethanol and hot water and tested for antimicrobial activity against Salmonella spp and Candida albicans using agar well diffusion method on Muller Hilton agar. Results: The study found that the extracts worked better against Salmonella spp than Candida albicans, however, ethanol extract was stronger against the isolates with inhibition zone diameter (IZD) ranging from 10 mm to 32 mm, compared to the aqueous extract which only had 4 mm to 9 mm zones at certain concentrations. Conclusion: The activity of Carica papaya seed extracts demonstrates that the seeds are as significant as other parts of the plant and provides a scientific basis for the seeds' use in the treatment of many ailments in the local community. The extracts were more effective against Salmonella spp., with the ethanol extract having the highest antibacterial activity, indicating that the components of papaya seeds are more soluble in organic solvents and had stronger bactericidal characteristics. As a result, extensive analyses of the bioactive chemicals in Carica papaya seeds and their modes of action are required to present a full picture

Objective: The study aimed to determine the correlation between pain severity, pain beliefs, pain coping, and attitudes toward complementary and alternative treatments among physical therapy patients. Methods: This cross-sectional and analytical was conducted in a physical therapy and rehabilitation hospital in north-eastern Turkey. The sample consisted of 150 physical therapy patients. Data were collected using Demographic Information Form, Pain Beliefs Questionnaire, Pain Coping Questionnaire, and Attitudes towards Complementary and Alternative Medicine Questionnaire. Spearman’s Correlation Analysis and Multiple Linear Regression Analysis were used in data analysis. Results: The study revealed that the patients had negative attitudes towards complementary (13.64 ± 4.00) and alternative medicine use (13.18 ± 4.14). The scores were moderate for the patients' psychological (18.62 ± 3.69) and organic belief (33.68 ± 5.17). A significant correlation was determined between patients’ attitudes towards complementary medical treatment and conventional medical treatment for pain (p=0.020). The patients had moderate pain intensity (5.70±2.44), and there was a significant correlation between pain intensity and attitudes towards alternative medicine (p=0.012). Conclusion: Physical therapy patients’ attitudes towards complementary and alternative medicine are associated with pain coping and severity. The patients should be educated to cope with pain and manage it by health professionals.

Objective: The plants, which grow wild in the Eastern Anatolia Region and are known as kari (Arum elongatum;Ae) and mende (Chaerophyllum macrospermum;Cm), are used for treatment purposes such as pain reliever and wound healing properties. It is aimed to determine some biological properties of these plants, which are also used medicinally. Material-Method: Firstly, hexane(H), ethanol(E) and acetone(A) extracts of dried plants were prepared and antimicrobial activities of extracts against 13 indicator microorganisms were determined by agar well diffusion method. Antioxidant activities were determined by DPPH and ABTS analyses and the total phenolic component contents were determined by the Folin-Ciocalteu method. Results: The maximum extract yield was obtained in the ethanol extracts of the plants (AeE;10.4011% CmE;2.4898%), the minimum extract yield was obtained in the acetone extracts (AeA;0.8422% CmA;0.3510%). The hexane extract of A. elongatum has no inhibition activity against E. faecalis and L. monocytogenes, but it has inhibition activity against other indicator microorganisms. The other extracts of A. elongatum and all extracts of C. macrospermum were found to have inhibitory activity against all indicator microorganisms. Furthermore, the highest phenolic content was calculated as 54.60±0.486 µg mL-1 (AeE) and the lowest content as 3.47±0.001 µg mL-1 (CmA). As a result of the DPPH method the highest IC50 was calculated as 32.4140 µg mL-1 (CmH) and the lowest IC50 as 12.7876 µg mL-1 (AeA) and ABTS method the highest IC50 was calculated as 10.3203 µg mL-1 (CmE), and the lowest IC50 as 0.2744 µg mL-1 (CmA). Conclusion: These results show that the plant extracts have strong antimicrobial activity and antioxidant activity.

Objective: Majority of the current antibiotics have become less effective due to widespread of multidrug-resistant microorganisms. Medicinal plants are promising candidates that could be used to manage this menace. Therefore, phytochemical, toxicological and antimicrobial potentiality of Lawsonia inermis extracts against MDR clinical bacteria were carried out. Material-Method: Henna leaf and seed were extracted by cold maceration technique using methanol and water and screened phytochemically. Eight MDR isolates, four of which are ESβL-producers were used for this study. In vitro antimicrobial efficacy and quantitative antimicrobial potency of extracts were estimated. MIC and MBC were determined using broth macrodilution technique. Cytotoxicity test was conducted using brine shrimp lethality assay and LC50 was determined. Results: The findings of this study revealed that aqueous leaf extract possesses maximum percentage yield of 25.58%. Tannins and phenolic compounds were detected in all extracts, while steroid was absent. Methanol seed extract showed the highest antimicrobial efficacy against all bacteria with 100 percent activity. The highest and lowest zones of inhibition were recorded at 30.0±0.00 and 10.0±0.00 mm, respectively. The zones of inhibition of extracts differed significantly. All extracts displayed highest activity index against the ESβL-producing Enterobacter aerogenes 196 that was isolated from wound with highest value at 4.28. Pseudomonas aeruginosa U109 showed maximum susceptibility index (93.75%); majority of MIC values recorded were within the range of 1.95-62.5 mg/mL. Cytotoxicity test of methanol and aqueous extracts displayed 10001000, respectively. Conclusion: Findings from this study elucidate the efficacy of Lawsonia inermis as a potential remedy to manage MDR-related infectious bacteria.

The highest and lowest zones of inhibition were recorded at 30.0±0.00 and 10.0±0.00 mm, respectively. The zones of inhibition of extracts differed significantly. All extracts displayed highest activity index against the ESβL-producing Enterobacter aerogenes 196 that was isolated from wound with highest value at 4.28. Pseudomonas aeruginosa U109 showed maximum susceptibility index (93.75%); majority of MIC values recorded were within the range of 1.95-62.5 mg/mL. Cytotoxicity test of methanol and aqueous extracts displayed 10001000, respectively. \u0000Conclusion: Findings from this study elucidate the efficacy of Lawsonia inermis as a potential remedy to manage MDR-related infectious bacteria.","PeriodicalId":296263,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Traditional and Complementary Medicine Research","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124988589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objective: It has been theorized that changes in the lower extremity mechanics may lead to develop Patellofemoral Pain (PFP) in the young population. The present study aims to investigate the effects of lower extremity mechanics on Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome in private university students. Material and Methods: Kujala Pain Score (KPS) of 400 Yeditepe University students ages of 18-30 years was performed. Students having a less or equal point of 85 in KPS (n=30) and healthy groups randomly selected in students with KPS=100 (n=30) were measured in terms of Feiss Line, navicular drop, subtalar angle, tibial torsion, knee valgus angle, Q angle in standing and supine position and hamstring tightness. Results: The prevalence of PFP among students was found to be 10.5%(n = 42). In case and control groups were found 2nd Pes Planus (PP) as 16 (%53,3) and 3 (%10) respectively. A statistically significant difference was found between groups in navicular drop, subtalar angle, tibial rotation, Q angle in supine and hamstring tightness (p-value
