The word flatulence comes from the Latin flato, from the Greek root bhla, phla, which means breath understood as the product of swelling, of filling, further reinforced by the Latin suffix ulentus, meaning abundantly. This term is primarily used in medicine and in correct Italian, but it is often replaced with other dialectal, popular, or vulgar terms. It should not be confused with the other medical term, meteorism (from the Greek meteoros = to lift, to be high), a term that refers only to the production and retention of gases which, not being evacuated, rise back up in the gastrointestinal tract, leading to problems, one of which is abdominal swelling.
The popular term scorreggia (and dialectal variants) comes from the colloquial expression for the act of letting one rip, with two etymological hypotheses: the first being to loosen the correggia (from the Latin corium = leather), an ancient name for the belt of pants, to facilitate the descent of intestinal gases; the second hypothesis is that the term derives from the Greek kor-kor-y-ghe, an ancient onomatopoeia that referred to gurgling, again understood as intestinal noise (an analogous Greek onomatopoeic etymon is at the root of the term "borborygmus").
The popular term peto (and variants such as petto, petta) would instead derive from the Latin perditum (which in turn comes from Greek perdo and Sanskrit pardami), later transformed into peeditum, peedo, meaning loss, specifically understood as the release of intestinal gases.

Steatorrhea is a pathological condition characterized by the presence of significant amounts of undigested fatty substances in the stool. It is referred to as steatorrhea when the amount of these undigested fatty substances exceeds 6 grams per day. Due to the high lipid content, the stools tend to float, have an oily appearance, and are particularly foul-smelling.

A rectovaginal fistula is an abnormal connection between the lower part of the large intestine and the vagina. Contents from the intestine can leak from the fistula, which means that gas or stool might pass through the vagina.
A rectovaginal fistula can result from an injury during childbirth, a complication after surgery, cancer, or inflammatory bowel diseases, such as Crohn's disease. However, in Western countries, rectovaginal fistulas occur rarely.
The symptoms of a rectovaginal fistula often lead to emotional stress and physical discomfort. Some rectovaginal fistulas may close on their own, but most need to be surgically repaired.
Symptoms
Depending on the size and location of the fistula, symptoms can range from very mild to significant issues with incontinence and hygiene. Signs and symptoms of a rectovaginal fistula may include:
• Passage of gas, stool, or pus from the vagina
• Foul-smelling vaginal discharge
• Recurrent urinary or vaginal infections
• Irritation or pain
• Pain during sexual activity
If signs or symptoms of a rectovaginal fistula occur, schedule an appointment with a doctor. A fistula can be the first indication of a more serious problem, such as an infection site or cancer. It is important for the doctor to identify the cause of the fistula and determine if and when it should be repaired. Depending on the cause of the fistula, the doctor may refer you to a colorectal or gynecological surgeon.
Causes
A rectovaginal fistula can form as a result of:
• Injuries during childbirth. Obstetric injuries are the most common cause of rectovaginal fistulas. These can occur after difficult labor. Fistulas resulting from childbirth may also involve injuries to the anal sphincter.
• Crohn's disease. The second most common cause of rectovaginal fistula is Crohn's disease. However, most women with Crohn's disease never develop a rectovaginal fistula.
• Surgery involving the vagina, perineum, rectum, or anus. Surgery in the lower pelvic region, such as hysterectomy, can, in rare cases, lead to the development of a fistula.
• Cancer or radiation therapy in the pelvic area. A cancerous tumor in the rectum, cervix, vagina, uterus, or anus can lead to the development of a rectovaginal fistula. Radiation therapy for tumors in these areas can increase the risk of developing a fistula. A radiation-induced fistula typically forms within two years following treatment.
• Other causes. Less commonly, a rectovaginal fistula can be caused by infections in the anus or rectum, infections in the digestive tract (diverticulitis), or vaginal trauma.

The average human releases between 0.5 to 1.5 liters of gas per day, divided into about 11-25 flatulations. A flatulation is primarily composed of odorless gases such as nitrogen (swallowed), oxygen (swallowed), methane (produced by anaerobic archaea), carbon dioxide (produced by anaerobic bacteria or swallowed), hydrogen (produced by some and consumed by others). Nitrogen is the main gas released. Methane and hydrogen are flammable, so some flatulations, if ignited, can catch fire. Not all humans produce flatulations containing methane. For example, in a study of the feces of nine adults, only five samples contained bacteria capable of producing this gas. The released gas usually has a foul odor that primarily comes from a small percentage of fatty acids such as butyric acid (smell of rancid butter) and from sulfur compounds like hydrogen sulfide (smell of rotten eggs) and carbon disulfide, which are the result of protein decomposition.

The invention of the toilet has changed the "natural" position of defecation for the civilized and progressive human, but in Biological and Natural Medicine, a return to the position predetermined for us by Mother Nature is advised: squatting on our legs so that the intestines are compressed, placed in the right position, allowing the anus to open properly and the colon to empty more effectively. A return to the "turks" is hoped for, named so because the Turks defecated in that manner, scrupulously following the teachings of the Quran, not using toilet paper, but washing themselves with water and their left hand if they are right-handed, so as not to touch food with the hand they clean themselves with. It is therefore no coincidence that Muslim populations who adhere to the rules of Islam have fewer problems related to defecation compared to their Christian Western counterparts! This information may elicit laughter from some, but feces have a lot to tell us about the health of our body! They are the waste material of the organism, eliminated rectally. Under normal conditions, they are made up of 75% water and 25% solid material which includes bacteria, undigested fibers, fat, inorganic matter, mucus, sloughed intestinal cells, and some proteins. Since feces also form during fasting, a significant part of the fecal mass is not food-derived. Their odor is the result of the bacterial decomposition of proteins in the intestine, and their pH is normally neutral or slightly alkaline (6.8-7.5). Daily, we produce from 150g to 300g of feces, and the "ideal stools" should have the consistency of a ripe banana, the shape of a sausage, and the color of a hamburger. But beyond the sarcasm that this topic may provoke, the color of feces tells us a great deal about the state of health of our organism and should not be underestimated at all.

The inspection of stools and microscopic examination are also of great value. The typical appearance of the stools, described above, is unmistakable. The presence of undigested food particles suggests either extreme intestinal hypermotility or a short bowel (e.g., a gastrocolic fistula). Fatty stools in a jaundiced patient point towards primary biliary cirrhosis or pancreatic cancer. The microscopic examination that highlights the presence of fat globules and undigested meat fibers suggests pancreatic insufficiency. Microscopy allows for the identification of eggs or parasites. The Sudan III staining of a stool smear is a relatively simple and straightforward screening test, although not quantitative, for fecal fat.

Smelly feet, better known as plantar bromhidrosis, is caused by excessive sweat production and the overgrowth of certain germs belonging to the normal skin flora. These bacteria, favored by the warm and humid environment created inside shoes, metabolize skin lipids, keratin, and sweat, producing amines and fatty acids responsible for the typical foot odor.
Bromhidrosis of the feet can affect individuals of all ages, but is more common among adolescent and young adult males. Wearing shoes for too long, especially in high temperatures but also in winter with tight shoes and wool socks, can lead to even more sweating with unpleasant effects. For example, when we take off our shoes in gyms or similar situations, there are people who need to put their shoes on the terrace!
High humidity, associated with the acidic pH of sweat, macerates tissues and facilitates the keratolytic activity of certain germs present on the skin. These microorganisms break down the most important protein in the skin, namely keratin, leading to unpleasant odors, as well as burning sensations, redness, and itching. All this only fuels the growth of fungi and bacteria: sweat + microorganisms = smelly feet and infections.
Even what we eat can influence the odor of sweat, although it is otherwise odorless. Foods such as garlic, onion, and curry have the same aforementioned effect. Certain medications, such as penicillin and bromides, can also produce similar effects. On the other hand, stress, some weight loss products, excessive alcohol consumption, caffeine, and some medical conditions (hyperthyroidism, hypoglycemia) can increase the amount of sweat produced.

To effectively exterminate Blattella germanica in a home, two distinct methodologies can be employed.
- Treatment with flushing-killing products
This involves using concentrated products (POWER AC) with low-pressure sprayers (CARIBE – FLORA) or ready-to-use options (PERTRIN L) on the perimeters of infested areas (baseboards, door and window frames) as well as in all those nooks (cracks, crevices, gaps) that may serve as hideouts for cockroaches. The purpose of this treatment is to flush out the unwanted insects from their environment, forcing them to come into the open, allowing for their elimination through the insecticidal action of the product. This method requires experience in locating nesting and hiding spots, and extreme caution must be taken to avoid accidental poisoning of any animals or people present, or contaminating food.
- Treatment with gel products
This is based on the application of drops of gel bait (DOBOL GEL – SOLFAC GEL) that, containing foods appealing to these insects along with a highly effective insecticidal active ingredient, attracts the cockroach which, by directly feeding on the gel, becomes contaminated. Moreover, a chain reaction is established as the insect carries this substance back to the nest, contaminating the entire existing colony. This is a very effective system since it is the unwanted insect that seeks out the bait, eliminating the need to flush it out. It is advisable to place drops of the product in the kitchen area (if it is built-in, the kick plate must be removed), focusing on the back of the refrigerator and dishwasher, in the gaps created by the baseboards, and in cracks where the sink's pipes connect to the wall. Additionally, the entire perimeter of the room should be treated near the baseboards and door frames. If the infestation is present in other areas, it is also advisable to place drops in those rooms (door frames, baseboards, etc.). In the case of a large infestation, it is wise to first use a liquid treatment and then, after 2/3 days, follow up with the gel treatment.
It is important to remember that it is always advisable to perform two interventions spaced 15 days apart, as the first intervention targets all existing individuals, while the second treatment intercepts those born from the eggs laid by the adult cockroaches present.

Ascariasis, or ascariasis, is a condition caused by the parasitic nematode Ascaris lumbricoides, prevalent mainly in tropical regions and countries with poor hygiene standards. Approximately one-quarter of the global population is estimated to be infested with this parasite, with rates of 45% in Latin America and 95% in some areas of Africa.
Mortality among children is estimated at about 20,000 cases per year solely due to mechanical complications (in the gastrointestinal and respiratory systems) caused by heavy infestations. The adult worm can puncture the intestinal wall and deposit eggs in the peritoneum. Adult forms of A. lumbricoides have been observed emerging through umbilical and hernial fistulas, fallopian tubes, the bladder, Eustachian tubes, the nose and mouth, or localizing in the lungs and heart.
When only a limited number of specimens are present in the body, no particular symptoms are detected, but more often the presence of Ascaris lumbricoides can cause gastrointestinal distress, particularly: abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea alternating with constipation. Infestation can also be accompanied by inflammation and fever, and severe problems can arise if adult worms migrate to other parts of the body.
Initially, when the larvae are located in the respiratory tract, affected individuals may experience chest pain and a dry cough, sometimes accompanied by the expulsion of bright red blood.
Infestation occurs through the ingestion of contaminated food (especially fruits and vegetables) that contain fecal matter or soil with mature worm eggs. The larvae hatch in the upper part of the small intestine, then enter the circulatory system after perforating the wall of the duodenum. Carried by the blood, the parasites (which are still very small) reach the pulmonary capillaries and eventually, migrating through the respiratory tract, ascend to the back of the throat, where they are partly expelled through sneezing and coughing, and partly swallowed. Once back in the intestine, Ascaris lumbricoides complete their maturation cycle within a couple of months.
An adult female, after mating, lays an average of 200,000 eggs per day, which are subsequently expelled through defecation.
These parasites are primarily treated with antibiotic therapy, but when the latter does not yield the desired effects, the affected individual may have to undergo surgery. One of the medications used is Pyrantel pamoate. The prognosis is poor only in the most severe cases, complicated by late diagnosis or neglect.
