Objective: This study was conducted in order to determine the effect of ginger kidney compress applied to the waist region for 30 minutes for seven days on the severity of pain and physical functions of individuals with knee osteoarthritis. Material-Method: This is a randomized controlled trial study. The sample included 124 patients; 43 ginger kidney compresses, 41 hot compresses, and 40 control groups. The data were collected using Patient Information Form, Visual Analog Scale (VAS)–Pain, and WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index. The forms were administered at the beginning (first followup) and at the end (7 day, second follow-up) of intervention. The intervention-I group received a ginger kidney compress while intervention-II group received a hot compress and the control group received no intervention. Results: In the first follow-up, there was no difference between the scores of the groups included in the study (p > 0.05), which were obtained from the VAS-Pain and WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index. In the second follow-up, a significant difference between the scores of the groups obtained from the VAS-Pain and WOMAC Osteoarthritis Indexes (p<0.001) was detected. According to the initial follow-ups, the scores of the individuals in the ginger kidney compress group at the final follow-up decreased significantly from the VAS-Pain and WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index compared to the individuals in the hot compress and the control group ( p<0.001). Conclusion: It has been determined that the application of ginger kidney compress is more effective than hot compress application and that it decreases the VAS-Pain and WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index scores.

Objective: Probiotics are an important part of the microbiota associated with many diseases. The production of food and food supplements containing probiotic products has increased considerably in recent years, due to their protective effect on health and antagonistic effect against some pathogenic microorganisms. However, it is unknown whether the content of these products has the expected effect. In this study was aimed to investigate the antagonistic effect of Probiotics & Prebiotics® commercial product. Material-Method: The probiotic food supplement was obtained from Aym-Net®. Antagonistic effect of the product on 10 different test bacteria was investigated by the agar spot assay method. Also lyophilized probiotics were cultured in MRS broth medium and centrifuged at 3500 rpm for 25 minutes in order to obtain metabolites that the probiotic microorganisms provide their effectiveness. Effect of probiotic supernatant on test bacteria were determined to disk diffusion test by CLSI. Each test bacteria combined with the probiotic product incubated at 37 0 C for 24 hours to determine the bacterial inhibition rate of product which analyzed using the Mann Whitney U test. Results: Probiotic product inhibited growth of L. monocytogenes by (86 %), Y. pseudotuberculosis (82%), S. aureus (76%), E. coli (74%), S. typhimurium (73%), P. aeruginosa (69%) and S. epidermidis (67%) respectively. The lowest antagonistic effect was detected against E. faecalis 44%. While probiotic product provided significant growth inhibition on 8 strains (p<0.05), there were not statistically significant growth inhibition for P. vulgaris and E. cloacae (p>0.05). Conclusion: It was concluded that antagonistic effect of probiotic food supplement on test bacteria. Therefore it may be beneficial to use in bacterial infections.

Diabetes has become a global health issue on a worldwide scale in our present day. In addition to long-term treatment, diabetes is a chronic disease with the participation of individuals in the disease and treatment processes, the self-care and self-efficacy of individuals. Individuals include complementary and supportive practices, along with medical treatments such as medication, nutrition, and exercise, into disease management processes. Complementary and supportive practices are among the practices frequently preferred by individuals in the management of chronic diseases. Complementary and supportive practices are preferred due to the side effects of the treatment protocols used in diabetes, which is one of the common chronic diseases, problems in the process of adherence with drug treatment and the need for long-term medical treatment, as well as the cost-effectiveness of complementary and supportive applications, easy accessibility and applicability. Aromatherapy, which is one of these practices, is preferred because it is effective, reliable, and can be easily applied by the patient. Aromatherapy is known as the use of essential oils obtained from plants for therapeutic purposes. Although aromatherapy has different methods of application, inhalation and massage often come to the fore. Positive effects of the application on anxiety, fatigue, sleep problems, and neuropathic pain were reported by many studies. In line with the results of the study, it should be supported with more sample groups and randomized controlled studies in this field. This review was planned to emphasize aromatherapy usage areas, methods of application, and their effectiveness in diabetes management.

Background: Constipation is one of the most common gastrointestinal symptoms in pregnant women. Purpose: This study was aimed at determining the effects of complementary and alternative therapy methods on the symptoms of pregnancy-related constipation. Search strategy: The authors performed a systematic search according to PRISMA guidelines. The database Web of Science, Scopus, EMBASE, CENTRAL, national databases were screened to reach studies published from January 2010 to March 2020 with restriction to human studies in English or Turkish language . The quality of the studies included in the study was assessed with the measurement tool proposed in the JADAD, JBI, and Observational Open-Label Studies scales. Inclusion criteria: Electronic searches were conducted in PubMed using the keywords constipation “pregnancy” or pregnant woman and “acupuncture” or “acupressure” or “massage” or “herbal medicine” or “aromatherapy” or “music therapy” or “homeopathy” or “hypnosis” or “meditation” or “reflexology” or “moxibustion” or “ayurvedic Medicine” or “ayurveda” or “Traditional Iranian Medicine Data extraction and analysis: Selection of included articles, data extraction and methodological quality assessments were respectively conducted by two review authors. Findings : 14536 studies were selected and 706 studies were screened based on their titles and abstracts. Seventy-three studies were analyzed in detail to assess whether they were suitable. In order to find a larger number of original articles, of the studies in the reference lists of these studies, those found in the electronical environment were screened, but no studies were found to meet the inclusion criteria. Finally, 3 studies were included in the study. Conclusions : The results demonstrated that herbal medicine and foot reflexology reduced constipation complaints during pregnancy without any side effects. Because the number of studies conducted to investigate the efficacy and safety of different types of complementary and alternative medicine methods in pregnant women with constipation is very few, more studies should be carried out on the issue.
