Medical Biology \ 1-1
Genetics is the science that studies heredity and heredity in living things. In the science of genetics, besides the classic subjects such as Mendel's Studies, there are also rapidly changing fields, such as in the field of Molecular Genetics. The main thing in a genetics book is to provide the latest information in rapidly changing fields along with classical subjects. In addition, the author should reflect his own views on the book after synthesizing the acquired knowledge. For these reasons, I wanted this book to include not only the topics that I teach my students during limited class hours, but also all the basic topics that should be in a genetics book. That's what I tried to do while writing this book. For this reason, it took many years to write the book, and as a result, this work emerged. I hope that my book will add new richness to the knowledge of the target audience.
Target audience for this book:
• Scientists working in the field of genetics,
• Research assistants working on a postgraduate thesis in the field of genetics and students working on a postgraduate thesis,
• Students of the Biology, Molecular Biology and Genetics Departments of the Faculties of Science and Letters, the Science and Biology Teaching departments of the Faculties of Agriculture, Medicine, Dentistry, Veterinary Faculties, Education Faculties,
• Biology teachers of high schools and science teachers of primary schools and
• People from all walks of life who are interested in genetics.
The fact that the book reaches its goal will make me forget all my tiredness.

With the acceptance of cancer as a genetic disease, scientists continue to research cancer in genetic and molecular terms. Clarifying the molecular mechanisms of cell division and proliferation and learning the molecular pathways in the cell indicate that more research is needed on molecular structures to be targeted in cancer therapy.
We hope that the book "Cancer Genetics and Molecular Biology" will be a useful resource containing up-to-date information that will benefit scientists who will do research in this field and our students studying in departments such as Medicine, Molecular Biology and Genetics, Biology, Biochemistry, Pharmacy and Veterinary.
In the book, cancer epidemiology, carcinogenesis, molecular targets and signaling pathways in cancer, cancer genetics and cytogenetics, genes responsible for cancer, the relationship between cellular aging and cancer, cell death mechanisms and cancer, characteristics of cancer cells, cancer types, angiogenesis, metastasis, immunity, plasticity, topics such as cancer stem cells, biomarkers, ion channels and cancer relationship and multi-drug resistance in cancer are discussed.

In this book, which aims to bring together the secrets of healthy life and related researches of the future in a comprehensive and encyclopedic way, almost all the issues related to the microbiota in the clinic are mentioned. In addition, information on probiotics and the use of probiotics in clinical spectra is presented in their latest updated versions, while different application areas of probiotics and rational nutrition are listed one after the other.
Although the effects of microbiota and probiotics on health and diseases are known, there are still many questions to be answered. Although studies on microbiota have been started in Turkey, infrastructure and standardization problems have not been resolved and there is a need for regulation in many aspects. Because this area has a strategic importance for our country. Although it is changing rapidly, our eating habits are still different from Western countries. Therefore, it is likely that we have a unique intestinal bacterial structure of our own. With the studies to be done on this subject, special diagnosis and treatment methods can be developed for us. The Microbiota, Probiotics and Rational Nutrition book, in which the latest information, experiences and the point reached are discussed by teachers working in different fields of expertise, will also be instrumental in sharing and planning on what can be done in Turkey, who will take part in what way, and how to work.
With the hope and hope that it will be useful to all its readers...

The Organic Chemistry book, which was mainly prepared to be useful to students in biology-based faculties such as Medicine, Veterinary Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmacy, consists of two parts, Basic and Organic Chemistry. The first chapter starts with the structure of atoms, which are the smallest building blocks that show all the qualities of an element, and covers chemical bonds, acids and bases, important physicochemical principles, and thermodynamics with analytical methods.
In the second part, the basic principles of organic chemistry, also defined as C-Chemistry, isomer, biologically important organic substance groups and reactions specific to these groups, monomers such as amino acids and monosaccharides in the structure of living things, polymers such as proteins, polysaccharides and nucleic acids are important biochemically. molecular structures have been tried to be given briefly and concisely.
It is thought that the book, which tries to emphasize the biological and biochemical importance of the subjects prepared in color so that the changes in the molecular structures during chemical reactions can be seen more clearly and the shapes can be observed more easily, will contribute to the education in the faculties that provide biology-based education and close the gap on this subject.

Medical (clinical) laboratory management has a key position in the healthcare sector in terms of human health, patient safety, quality of community/population life and cost effective healthcare expenditures. Medical/Clinical laboratories (MLs/CLs) are also the data centers of healthcare institutions. Laboratory tests are requested from approximately 80% of individuals admitted to a health institution, and 70-80% of medical decisions are made based on the test results. In addition to providing reliable test results to each individual/patient in a timely and cost-effective manner, information about public health status can also be obtained from laboratory data.
Their success in these responsibilities and duties is directly proportional to their ability to
establish a well-structured risk, quality and process-based system.
In this book: a risk, quality and process-based management model is presented. The book covers the steps of recognizing and introducing the process framework of a medical (clinical) laboratory that is composed of the management and support processes. The total examination process, which is the main core process of an ML/CL, is composed of 5 subprocesses. The steps also include the application of risk and quality management to every process. By following this book, the laboratory professional will be able to define and introduce all the processes of a ML/CL and establish the management system with the process approach. Laboratory professionals will be able to familiarize themselves with each process and create process-oriented risk and quality management systems following the recommended steps. A continuous process improvement system, based on the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) Cycle, will also be established. Hence, the ML/CL will be prepared to meet all the requirements of external assessment programs, including the ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System Standard, the excellence models such as the EFQM, and the Accreditation Standard ISO 15189:2022 for Medical Laboratories-Requirements for Quality and Competence.". The book is designed to be used as a handbook and consists of 22 chapters. The reader will be able to define the process framework of a medical laboratory and identify its documents according to the document hierarchy. Additionally, they can structure the total testing process, which includes preanalytical, analytical, and postanalytical processes both inside and outside the laboratory. Furthermore, the book covers topics on management and support processes as well as data analysis, the development of training programs for laboratory professionals and providing the useful information to the patients. Moreover, the book reviews the governance system, the
alignment of process objectives with strategic goals, outcomes of performed projects related to the medical laboratory management, and the essential competencies for a medical laboratory manager.
This book should be read with the book “Process-Based Management Are You Ready for Digital Transformation? (For Public, Private and Non-Governmental Organizations) by Diler Aslan”
