Article Post Challenge Effects of Ozg-38.61.3 Gamma Irradiated SARS-CoV Vaccine on Organ Protection in Transgenic Mouse Model(Marmara University, Institute of Health Sciences, 2025) Telci, Dilek; Akpınar, Gürler; Tuğlu, Mehmet İbrahim; Ovalı, Ercüment; Oztatlıcı, Hulya; Şahin, Fikrettin; Demir, Sevda; Kancagi, Derya Dilek; Turan, Raife Dilek; Oztatlici, Mustafa; Karakus, Gozde Sir; Yurtsever, BulutObjective: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious outbreak caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV 2) and virus-related deaths are increasing day by day. For this reason, vaccine studies and their urgent use are of great importance to prevent the pandemic. In this study, multi-organ damages caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus in human- angiotensin-converting enzyme type 2 (ACE2) transgenic mice and the protective effects of OZG-38.61.3 gamma irradiated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine against viral damage were investigated. Methods: For this purpose, transgenic K18-hACE2 BALB/c mice were randomly allocated into 4 groups, negative control group (NC), positive control group (PC, SARS-CoV-2 infected), and 2 different doses of OZG-38.61.3 vaccine (Challenge 1, dose of 10 13 and Ch2, 10 14 viral particle after SARS-CoV-2 infection). After the administrations, lung, heart and kidney tissues were examined by histopathological, immunohistochemical and TUNEL analysis. Results: Our results showed that the vaccine doses decreased the apoptosis, oxidative stress and inflammation parameters caused by virus in lung, heart, and kidney tissues. It was also found that the vaccine protected the expressions of tight junction proteins in the kidneys. Conclusion: According to our findings, it is suggested that the OZG-38.61.3 can be an effective and protective vaccine that can be safely used against the SARS-CoV-2 virus.Article How Have Occupational Therapy Services Been Delivered During the COVID-19 Pandemic(Nova Southeastern Univ., 2024) Yucel, Hulya; Aydoner, SelenThe provision of traditional healthcare services has encountered obstacles due to the Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The inability of healthcare professionals and clients to survive the pandemic and the inadequacy of personal protective equipment have created uncertainties regarding the appropriate practices for addressing individuals' health conditions. Furthermore, the field of rehabilitation, including occupational therapy, has experienced changes in the delivery of traditional practices. Therefore, this review aimed to examine occupational therapy services delivered during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of the literature review, the most commonly provided services by occupational therapists during COVID-19 were discussed and a total of 87 references were accessed. These services were grouped under the headings of acute/intensive care unit, post-COVID-19, telerehabilitation, preventive mental health, school-based occupational therapy, occupational therapy education, and ergonomics. It was seen that occupational therapists had several challenges during the pandemic. They had to adapt their interventions according to the new conditions and so they have frequently used technology. It is crucial for the effectiveness of the rehabilitation that occupational therapy services continue in challenging and unexpected situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic. It is necessary to strengthen future occupational therapy practices based on standards through collaboration among occupational therapists. It is believed that this review will shed light on the role and importance of occupational therapy during the challenging COVID-19 pandemic.
