Improving the nutritional quality of cereals and legumes by germination Şenlik, Ayşe Seda; Alkan, Derya Cereal and legume grains are germinated to improve their nutritional and sensory qualities. This study investigated the effect of germination on the physicochemical properties of some grains and legumes grown in Turkiye. At the end of the germination for 48 h and 96 h at 24 +/- 1 degrees C, carbohydrate, protein, lipid, dietary fibre, dry matter, ash, total phenolic content, antioxidant capacity and colour analyses of the germinated grains were determined. The results indicated that the germina-tion process increased the phenolic content of all samples. The legume seeds' 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity significantly increased with germination. The germination process significantly decreased the total car-bohydrate contents of the samples. A statistically significant decrease was found for the protein content of barley and corn, especially by 48 h of germination. The lipid content of cereal grains decreased as germination progressed. It might be reco-mmended to improve the functional properties of cereals and legumes by germination and their use in the food industry.

Effectiveness of dignity therapy in the context of culturally competent care in people with palliative care needs: a systematic review of systematic reviews Johnston, Bridget; Dönmez, C. Fulya; Juliao, Miguel Purpose of reviewThis review aims to synthesise the evidence from systematic reviews and meta-analyses on the efficacy of dignity therapy (DT) in relation to psychosocial and spiritual outcomes in the context of person-centred and culturally competent care for people with supportive and palliative care needs.Recent findingsThirteen reviews were found, including seven conducted by nurses. Most reviews were of high quality, including various study populations such as cancer, motor neurone disease and non-malignant conditions. Six psychosocial and spiritual outcomes were identified: quality of life, anxiety, depression, hopefulness, meaning and purpose in life, and suffering based on the cultural variations in the implementation of DT.SummaryDT has a positive impact on anxiety, depression, suffering, and meaning and purpose in life for people with palliative care needs, but the evidence is somewhat conflicted as to whether DT is effective in improving hope, quality of life and spiritual outcomes in the context of culturally competent care. Nurse-led DT seems desirable given its pivotal role when caring for people with palliative care needs. More randomised controlled trials should be conducted for people with different cultural backgrounds to provide person-centred, culturally competent supportive and palliative care.

The Effect of Lavandula stoechas on Wound Healing in an Experimental Diabetes Model Demir, Derya; Toygar, İsmail; Soylu, Emrah; Aksu, Ali Tarık; Türeyen, Aynur; Yıldırım, Ilgın Introduction: Diabetic foot is a consequential and dangerous complication of diabetes, contributing to decreased quality of life, escalated hospitalizations, and increased mortality rates. Using an experimental model of diabetes, this study aims to investigate the effect of Lavandula stoechas on wound healing. Methods: A total of 35 albino Wistar rats, 250-350 grams in weight, were used. The rats were divided into five groups, seven rats in each group. Of these, 21 rats were induced with 50 mg/kg streptozotocin (STZ) to mimic the diabetic condition. Additionally, 14 rats remained non-diabetic and served as the control group. The diabetic rats were further divided into three subgroups. The non-diabetic group was split into two subgroups based on the dressing materials used (allicin, physiological serum, and control). Wound dimensions were assessed on Days 0, 7, 14, and 21. Biopsies were taken from the wound sites at the same time. Results: There were significant differences between groups on Days 7, 14, and 21. The percentage of healing was highest in the Lavandula Stoechas group on Days 7, 14, and 21. Microscopic examination of the biopsies supported accelerated wound healing on Days 7 and 14. Reduced mononuclear cell density and increased hair follicle and adipose tissue development were observed in the DM (diabetes mellitus)-Lavandula Stoechas group on Day 7. On Day 14, the DM-Lavandula Stoechas group increased collagen levels and hair follicles. Similarly, the non-DM-Lavandula Stoechas group showed reduced bullae, dermal edema, and intraepithelial edema on Day 7. This was followed by increased fibroblast levels on Day 14. Conclusions: In conclusion, this study provides compelling evidence for the potential of Lavandula stoechas extract in the enhancement of diabetic wound healing. The multiple interactions revealed here highlight the need for further investigation into the underlying mechanisms. A cost-effective use of Lavandula stoechas opens up promising prospects in managing diabetic foot healing. This warrants additional research and clinical translation.

COVID 19 pandemisinin bir sosyal sorumluluk projesinde yer alan 60 yaş ve üzeri kişilerin günlük hayatına etkileri Yavuz, Cemil; Şahin, Sevnaz Covid 19 salgını hızlıca birçok ülkeye yayılmış, 11 Mart 2020 tarihinde pandemi olarak ilan edilmiştir. Hastalık ve ölüm oranları açısından yaşlılar riskli grupların başında değerlendirilmiş, uygulanan sosyal izolasyon ve karantina tedbirlerinden en çok yaşlılar etkilenmiştir. Bir sosyal sorumluluk projesi olan, 60 yaş ve üzeri kişilerle yüz yüze faaliyet sürdüren Fethiye Tazelenme Üniversitesi, pandemi ile birlikte bu faaliyetini video konferans eğitim ve destek programı olarak yapılandırmıştır. Araştırma, bu programa katılan kişilerin günlük hayatına pandeminin etkilerini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Tanımlayıcı tiptedir. Programa devam eden 66 kişi örnekleme alınmıştır. Veriler 30 Haziran 2021-14 Temmuz 2021 tarihleri arasında online anket ile toplanmıştır. Veriler SPSS 22 programında sayı ve yüzdelik hesaplamalar ile değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgulara göre; düzenli fiziksel aktivite yapanların oranı (%74.2) pandemide önemli ölçüde (%28.1) azalmıştır. Bireylerin beslenmesine daha çok dikkat ettiği (%63.6), yarıya yakınının kilo aldığı (%45.5)ve uyku sorunu (%47.0) yaşadığı tespit edilmiştir. Katılımcılar farklı şiddette Covid-19’a yakalanma korkusu (%80.4) ve kendilerinden (%53.4) daha çok yakınlarının hayatını kaybetmesi (%83.4) korkusu yaşamışlardır. Katılımcılar; sosyal ilişkileri sürdürme (%80.4), aile bireyleri ile bir arada olma (%65.7), alışveriş yapma (%62.5) ve ulaşım (%59.1) alanlarında zorlandıklarını, cep telefonu (%49.2), bilgisayar (%64.6) ve internet kullanma becerilerinin arttığını (%50.8) belirtmişlerdir. Sonuç olarak; pandemi sürecinin korkulara ve günlük yaşam üzerinde bir takım olumsuz etkilere neden olmasına rağmen, özellikle bilgisayar ve iletişim teknolojilerinin kullanımına ilişkin becerileri artırdığı söylenebilir.; The Covid 19 outbreak quickly spread to many countries and was declared a pandemic on March11, 2020. In terms of morbidity and mortality rates, the elderly were considered at the top of the risky groups, and the elderly were the most affected by the social isolation and quarantine measures. Fethiye Refreshment University, which is a social responsibility project and carries out face-to-face activities with people aged 60 and over, has structured this activity as a videoconference training and support program together with the pandemic.
