Published: October 2024

The large intestine is the last part of the digestive system and is the part that processes undigested food left over from the small intestine. Its functions include absorbing water from food waste, balancing electrolytes, regulating intestinal flora and storing faeces. This region also performs functions such as regulating peristaltic movements in the intestine and moving faeces towards the anus. The large intestine plays an important role in the final stage of the digestive process, completing the absorption of digested nutrients and removing waste from the body.
There are three important components of normal bowel movement. Colonic transit time, stool consistency and faecal incontinence.
The large intestine is a critical component of the digestive system, and its function and anatomical features highlight the need for a basic understanding in health practice. This chapter covers the normal anatomy of the large intestine in detail, while also examining various diseases and conditions that occur in the clinical contex.
Physiotherapy in Oncologial Rehabilitation
Authors: Cihan Emine 
Published: October 2024

The global increase in cancer diagnoses is accompanied by improving survival rates, largely due to advancements in treatment options. However, this rise in survival rates highlights the critical importance of addressing the myriad symptoms associated with the disease. To optimize functional capacity and enhance the quality of life for cancer patients, rehabilitation programs are becoming increasingly integral to their treatment. Achieving these objectives necessitates the involvement of rehabilitation specialists who are proficient in diagnosing and addressing the physical, psychological, and cognitive challenges faced by patients. This emphasis on comprehensive care underscores the necessity of an interdisciplinary team approach in oncologic rehabilitation.
Interdisciplinary teamwork is crucial in oncologic rehabilitation. The integration of various healthcare professionals, including physiotherapists, occupational therapists, oncologists, psychologists, and nutritionists, ensures a holistic approach to patient care. This collaborative effort enhances the effectiveness of rehabilitation programs, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes.
Historically, physiotherapy played a secondary role in the treatment of oncologic patients, primarily because high mortality rates limited opportunities for rehabilitation. The paradigm has shifted with the increase in survival rates, highlighting the growing importance of physiotherapy in the context of cancer care. Consequently, physiotherapists must enhance their problem-solving skills, particularly in early oncologic rehabilitation. Physiotherapy and exercise play a pivotal role in the management, prevention, and treatment of oncological diseases. Engaging in purposeful physical activity can prevent many types of cancer and significantly prolong life expectancy.
The primary aim of this section is to elucidate the objectives of physiotherapy in oncological rehabilitation, delineate the role of physiotherapists, and outline the specific goals of rehabilitation. This discussion extends to common musculoskeletal problems frequently encountered in oncological patients, such as conditions like lymphedema resulting from treatment, and prevalent symptoms including pain, balance issues, and fatigue. Current approaches and innovative treatment methods in oncological physiotherapy are also examined.

In this section, where the concepts of family and marriage are defined, the importance and history of these concepts, the perspectives of Turkey and other countries on marriage and family, the structural features of the family and its place in society, the functions of the family, and family types are explained in detail. When the concepts and importance of family and marriage are understood and acted upon, couples achieve their goals as happy individuals. Although there are many definitions of marriage and family, in short, marriage is the art of creating a happy family as a result of individuals striving to become ""us"" while preserving their own boundaries and identities.
Family is a social structure in which we feel the happiness of belonging, feel safe in every aspect, and learn about life and living together with others. Basic life needs are met within the family, and the longest interaction occurs here. The basic behaviours and life habits that form personality are acquired through this interaction. Family constitutes the first and most important dimension of an individual’s social environment. The child’s upbringing as an individual in accordance with society’s expectations is achieved within the family.
In marriages, it is essential for the art of being happy that both men and women have their own spaces and areas to be together.

Potential Medicinal Plants Used in the Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease
Authors: Karagecili Hasan 
Published: October 2024

Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive and chronic neurodegenerative disease of the brain and is the disease with the most involvement in dementia, with 50 million patients in the world. The following medications have been used to treat AD symptoms: galantamine, donepezil, rivastigmine, physostigmine (eserine), tacrine, and huperzine A. Their main method of action is AChE suppression to minimize the cholinergic deficit. The use of FDA-approved these drugs in treatment is aimed at short-term relief of symptoms rather than regressing the course of the disease. While FDA-approved anti-AD drugs are effective in treating symptoms, they also have some drawbacks and side effects, including nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, loss of appetite, weight loss, diarrhea, and many other effects.
The discovery of new, effective and reliable drugs for use in the treatment of AD is among the biggest goals of scientific research groups. Medicinal plants and the phytochemical compounds they contain; polyphenolics, flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, phenolic acids and many other compounds can play an active role in the inhibition of AD disease. Phytochemicals have long been used as therapy alternatives for a range of pathological illnesses. Many phytochemicals have their mechanisms well-established; but, for some, it remains to be determined how much of them need be present in food to be bioavailable. Ethanol and aqueous extracts of traditional medicinal plants used in the Mediterranean region are being studied for the inhibition of the acetylcholinesterase enzyme, which is effective in the innervation of the nervous system.
Flash Radiation Therapy: Current Insights and Future Prospects
Authors: Gul Osman Vefa 
Published: October 2024

FLASH radiotherapy (RT) is an innovative approach used in cancer treatment. The FLASH effect is observed at ultra-high dose rates (UHDR) of approximately 40 Gy/s or higher. This treatment method has the potential to effectively destroy tumor cells while causing less damage to healthy tissues. It has been shown that FLASH irradiation reduces the severity of toxicity in normal tissues compared to conventional dose rate (CONV) irradiation that is currently being utilized in clinical settings. The shortened treatment durations characteristic of FLASH-RT, typically falling below 0.1 seconds, offer the distinct advantage of minimizing uncertainties associated with treatment application arising from intra-fractional motion. This book chapter covers the types of radiation used in FLASH RT, the biological effects of these radiation types, promising FLASH RT technologies, and dosimetry.
The types of energy used in FLASH RT are generally similar to those used in CONV RT, but they are applied at much higher dose rates. FLASH RT requires special technology to deliver radiation at high dose rates. These technologies include Linear Accelerators (LINAC), Proton Accelerators and Carbon Ion Accelerators. The main types of energy that can be used in FLASH RT are Electrons, Protons, X-rays, and Carbon ions. Currently, studies aiming to use electrons, protons and X-rays in UHDR transmission methods are ongoing. Among these studies are those that focus on the use of 100-200 MeV very high energy electrons (VHEE) to target deep-located tumors with FLASH RT using electrons. There are also studies on proton FLASH RT, which aim to take advantage of the physical properties of protons called Bragg peaks. This book chapter on FLASH RT covers promising FLASH RT technologies, FLASH radiobiology, patient treatments with FLASH RT, and radiation dosimetry of FLASH RT. FLASH RT is considered a revolutionary innovation in cancer treatment. Advances in technological and biological research indicate that this treatment method could lead to wider clinical applications.

Intervention with the Wellness Therapy Spiritual Emotional Freedom Technique (SEFT) in Cancer Patients and with Chemotherapy: A Scoping Review
Authors: Gayatri Galih , Ni Kadek Diah Purnamayanti  
Published: October 2024

Patients with cancer undergoing chemotherapy often experience psychological and physical symptoms that affect their quality of life. The Spiritual Emotional Freedom Technique (SEFT) is a potential nonpharmacological intervention to address these issues. This study aimed to determine the effects of SEFT therapy in patients with cancer undergoing chemotherapy. A scoping review was conducted via Google Scholar to search for articles published between 2020 and 2024 with keywords related to SEFT, cancer, and chemotherapy. Eleven articles that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed. The review analyzed 11 studies published between 2020 and 2024, focusing on the impact of SEFT on various psychological and physical outcomes. The findings consistently demonstrate that SEFT therapy significantly reduces anxiety, stress, depression, and pain levels while improving sleep quality and overall quality of life in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. The therapy typically involves 10-20 min sessions conducted 2-3 times per week, consisting of setup, tune-in, and tapping phases. SEFT's mechanism of action is theorized to involve the modulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and influencing neurotransmitter activity through the stimulation of acupressure points. SEFT therapy shows promise as a complementary intervention for improving the well-being of patients with cancer undergoing chemotherapy. It addresses both psychological and physical symptoms and potentially enhances overall quality of life. Further research should compare the effectiveness of SEFTs with that of conventional methods and evaluate its long-term impact on cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Maca peruana para além da fertilidade
Authors: Milarch Carine de Freitas , Da Silveira Daniela 
Published: October 2024

A maca peruana (Lepidium meyenii) é uma planta com inúmeros benefícios já relatados na literatura. Entre eles, destacam-se a melhora na libido, efeitos anti-inflamatórios e imunomodulatórios. Mais recentemente, tem-se falado sobre seus efeitos antiestresse. O objetivo principal do presente estudo foi realizar uma revisão narrativa de literatura, a fim de elucidar os efeitos antiestresse e antifadiga do uso da maca peruana, em artigos publicados nos últimos 10 anos. Foram utilizadas as plataformas PubMed e BVS-Bireme para a busca dos artigos por meio das seguintes palavras-chave e operadores booleanos: “Peruvian maca OR Lepidium meyenii AND stress”. A pesquisa foi realizada durante o mês de abril de 2023 e, seguindo as estratégias de busca anteriormente descritas, foram encontrados 128 artigos, sendo no total 14 artigos examinados a leitura do título e do resumo. Destes, apenas 4 artigos foram selecionados para o presente estudo, pois contemplavam diretamente a temática da nossa pesquisa. Assim, concluiu-se que, embora os achados dos artigos selecionados tenham sugerido efeitos positivos em relação ao uso da maca peruana para o estresse e a fadiga, há uma necessidade de novos estudos abordando mecanismos avaliativos mais modernos e específicos. Além disso, sugerimos que se sejam conduzidos novos estudos que utilizem parâmetros mais robustos na mensuração de níveis de estresse dos indivíduos, além de ensaios clínicos com seres humanos, com diferentes doses da maca peruana, para que, assim, seja possível extrapolar estes resultados obtidos com animais para humanos.
