    Does prolonged radiofrequency radiation emitted from wi-fi devices induce dna damage in various tissues of rats?
    (Elsevier, 2016) Akdag, Mehmet Zulkuf; Dasdag, Suleyman; Canturk, Fazile; Karabulut, Derya; Caner, Yusuf; N/A; Adalıer, Nur; Undergraduate Student; School of Medicine; N/A
    Wireless internet (Wi-Fi) providers have become essential in our daily lives, as wireless technology is evolving at a dizzying pace. Although there are different frequency generators, one of the most commonly used Wi-Fi devices are 2.4 GHz frequency generators. These devices are heavily used in all areas of life but the effect of radiofrequency (RF) radiation emission on users is generally ignored. Yet, an increasing share of the public expresses concern on this issue. Therefore, this study intends to respond to the growing public concern. The purpose of this study is to reveal whether long term exposure of 2.4 GHz frequency RF radiation will cause DNA damage of different tissues such as brain, kidney, liver, and skin tissue and testicular tissues of rats. The study was conducted on 16 adult male Wistar Albino rats. The rats in the experimental group (n = 8) were exposed to 2.4 GHz frequency radiation for over a year. The rats in the sham control group (n = 8) were subjected to the same experimental conditions except the Wi-Fi generator was turned off. After the exposure period was complete the possible DNA damage on the rat's brain, liver, kidney, skin, and testicular tissues was detected through the single cell gel electrophoresis assay (comet) method. The amount of DNA damage was measured as percentage tail DNA value. Based on the DNA damage results determined by the single cell gel electrophoresis (Comet) method, it was found that the% tail DNA values of the brain, kidney, liver, and skin tissues of the rats in the experimental group increased more than those in the control group. The increase of the DNA damage in all tissues was not significant (p > 0.05). However the increase of the DNA damage in rat testes tissue was significant (p < 0.01). In conclusion, long-term exposure to 2.4GHz RF radiation (Wi-Fi) does not cause DNA damage of the organs investigated in this study except testes. The results of this study indicated that testes are more sensitive organ to RF radiation.

    Vitamin E, turmeric and saffron in treatment of alzheimer’s disease
    (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2016) Parker, Heath; Adalıer, Nur; Undergraduate Student; School of Medicine
    Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a growing epidemic and currently there is no cure for the disease. The disease has a detrimental effect on families and will strain the economy and health care systems of countries worldwide. The paper provides a literature review on a few ongoing possible antioxidant therapy treatments for the disease. The paper highlights use of vitamin E, turmeric and saffron for an alternative antioxidant therapy approach. Clinical studies report their therapeutic abilities as protective agents for nerve cells against free radical damage, moderating acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity and reducing neurodegeneration, which are found as key factors in Alzheimer’s. The paper suggests that future research, with more clinical trials focused on more natural approaches and their benefits for AD treatment could be worthwhile.

    Electromagnetic radiation and Alzheimer’s disease
    (Taylor _ Francis, 2020) Daşdağ, Ömer; Daşdağ, Süleyman; Adalıer, Nur; Undergraduate Student; School of Medicine
    This study aims to explore whether there is a relationship between different electromagnetic radiations, such as extremely low-frequency magnetic field (ELF-MF), radiofrequency (RF) radiation and ionizing radiation, and Alzheimer's disease. Resources related to the subject were scanned and 46 articles that were important to clarify the subject were evaluated. The results of the study investigating the relationship between Alzheimer's disease (AD) and electromagnetic fields were still contradictory. Whereas many researchers suggest that some electromagnetic radiation has prepared the ground for AD, others claim that RF radiation has a positive effect on the disease in question. The current state of knowledge calls for further detailed studies to clarify the issue.

    Evaluation of SARS-CoV-2 with a biophysical perspective
    (Taylor _ Francis, 2021) Daşdağ, Ömer; Daşdağ, Süleyman; Barlas, Sait Berk; Adalıer, Nur; Undergraduate Student; School of Medicine
    This paper intends to contribute to the collaborative efforts of the scientific community by providing a literature review of the status of the coronavirus research by adding a multi-disciplinary perspective and looking into a broad spectrum of SARS-CoV-2 studies on virus molecular structure, biophysical approach, electrostatic interaction and UVC rays. The paper identifies future research directions for each group of studies and points out remaining questions on the way related to COVID-19. The summary of the literature review will intend to assist future studies; provide a biophysical understanding of the virus interaction with host cells and help better identify antiviral therapy and the development of new vaccines/drugs to tackle COVID-19 and any virus outbreak. In addition to the electrostatic interactions of SARS-CoV-2, this paper also discusses whether UVC rays are a safe alternative to many chemical sterilization methods which are frequently used in our daily life since the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak and whose health effects are controversial. This article also briefly discusses the relationship of some trace elements with COVID-19 infection. In conclusion, focusing on biophysical mechanisms of virus–cell interactions with a broad perspective has potential to give a different approach to the reader for future treatment methods.
