Burn injuries are an incident that can have serious traumatic consequences. Degree of tissue damage depends on height of heat and duration of contact. It can be classified as 4 different burn degrees. Herbal treatments can be applied for alleviating the symptoms alongside with pharmacological treatments in clinic. Aloe vera are used for burn cases for so many years because of its antiinflammatory, antiviral, antifungal, antibacterial, antidiabetic and rapid burn wound healing effects. Our aim in this study is to compare different doses of Aloe vera gel with burn medications in market. 48 female Sprague-Dawley rats divided into 8 groups (negative control, positive control, Silverdin®, Bepanthol®, Sudocrem®, Aloe vera 30 mg, Aloe vera 60 mg, Aloe vera 90 mg).

This study was carried out in Kırklareli in 2005. The aim was to investigate the role of pharmacists as primary health care providers. In 63.5% of the total number of 55 pharmacies taking part in the research, there was no health care service within a 150 meter range. The remaining pharmacies, constituting 36.4%, did have health care services within a 150 meter range. These were in the proximity of either village clinics (55%), state hospitals (35%), or private hospitals (10%). 51.9% of the pharmacists are female and 48.1% male, and usually, they employ 1 or 2 assistants; only 1.9% do not employ an assistant. The assistants are between the ages of 20-29, and most of them are high school graduates. 27.4% of them work 10 hours a day, and 43.5% of them work 11 hours a day. 23.3% of the medicine sold in pharmacies in the most recent week of the study was unprescribed. 84% of the pharmacists told the patient to inform them of any adverse reactions and/or side effects. In the case of adverse reactions and/or side effects, 57.7% of patients informed the pharmacist before consulting a doctor. 100% of the pharmacists guided the patient to TÜFAM (The National Pharmacovigilance Centre-in Turkey). Pharmacists encounter drug poisoning very infrequently (5.7%) and respond to it 100% of the time. In the most recent week of the study, no one applied for an HIV test. 94.1% of the pharmacists do not approve of the selling of over-the-counter drugs. As a result of this study, we learned that provisions for the primary health care services given at pharmacies were not present in existing legislation, although there is a demand for them in the affected communities.

In addition to the direct effects of type 2 diabetes mellitus, affects the patient's life in a bad way, if the treatment process is not followed carefully, the quality of life of the patient will be reduced. At this point, clinical pharmacist has an extremely important role in determining and executing the correct clinical treatment.

A questionnaire consisting of 20 multiple choice questions has been used to evaluate 50 participants who are clinically diagnosed diabetics. SPSS 23.0 statistical program was used for the statistical analysis of the data and the findings were evaluated at and 5% significance level. It has been statistically observed that knowledge levels of patients affected the treatment process. Recognizing the importance of this factor by clinical pharmacists and other health professionals will increase the training for diabetes and prevent the problems arising from the patient's low-level knowledge.
