Gene found by a Turkish doctor that causing anevrizma

Türk doktordan müthiş buluş !

Çalışmalarını ABD'deki Yale Üniversitesinde sürdüren Prof. Dr. Murat Günel tarafından yapılan araştırmayla, beyin kanamalarına yol açan anevrizmaya neden olan 3 gen bulundu.

Araştırma sayesinde, anevrizma oluşma riski yüksek hastalar basit bir kan testiyle tespit edilerek, beyin kanamaları önlenebilecek

.Yale Üniversitesi Beyin Cerrahisi Damar Hastalıkları (Nörovasküler) Bilim Dalı Başkanı ve Beyin Genetiği Programı Direktörü Prof Dr. Murat Günel'in, aynı üniversiteden Dr. Richard Lifton ve Türk doktorlar Kaya Bilgüvar, Yaşar Bayrı ve Zülfikar Arlıer ile birlikte yürüttüğü 15 yıllık araştırmanın sonuçları, dünyanın en büyük tıp dergilerinden biri olan Nature Genetics'te yayınlandı.

Araştırmada, Hollanda'nın yanı sıra, dünyada anevrizmaya bağlı beyin kanamalarının en çok görüldüğü Finlandiya ve Japonya'dan toplanan 10 binin üzerinde kan örneğinden elde edilen genetik materyal (DNA) kullanıldı. Bunların yaklaşık 2 bin 200'ü anevrizma hastalarından, 8 bini de sağlıklı, anevrizması olmayan insanlardan toplandı.

Araştırmada ilk olarak, Avrupalı hastaların kanlarındaki (DNA) 300 bin değişik bölgeye bakıldı. Sonuçta, 3 bölgedeki değişikliklerin anevrizma riskini tüm dünya toplumlarında artırdığı belirlendi.Araştırma sayesinde, basit bir kan testiyle beyin kanaması olmadan anevrizma oluşma riski yüksek hastaların tespit edilebileceği bildirildi.Bu kişiler belirlenince, MR Anjiyo ve KT Anjiyo gibi radyolojik tetkiklerle takip edilebilecek. Oluşumu belirlenebildiği takdirde de anevrizma, patlamadan önce cerrahi veya damar içi yöntemler kullanılarak tedavi edilebilecek.ANEVRİZMA OLUŞMASININ NEDENLERİGünel, bu araştırma sayesinde ortaya çıkarılan 3 genin tespitiyle, söz konusu hastalığın oluşum nedenlerinin de anlaşılmaya başlandığını bildirdi.Araştırmayla, hiç beklenmedik bir şekilde, her 3 genin de damarlardaki bozukluğu tamir eden kök hücreleri etkilediğinin belirlendiğini anlatan Günel, ''Bu genlerdeki bozukluklar, beyin damarlarının sertleşerek erken yaşlarda bile yaşlanmalarına yol açıyor. Bu erken yaşlanmaya bağlı olarak da anevrizmalar ortaya çıkıyor ve zamanla patlayarak beyin kanamalarına ve felçlere sebep oluyor'' şeklinde konuştu.Günel, uzun vadedeki hedefinin, bu sonuçlara bağlı olarak yeni tedaviler geliştirerek, anevrizmaları kanamadan teşhis edip yeni yöntemler kullanarak hastaları iyileştirmek olduğunu söyledi.

TÜRKİYE'DE ANEVRİZMA HASTALIĞI

Günel'in verdiği bilgiye göre, anevrizmaların toplumda görülme riski yaşla artıyor.ABD'de yapılan araştırmalara göre, hastalık 60 yaşında toplumun yüzde 5 gibi büyük bir kısmını etkileyebiliyor.

Türkiye gibi sigaranın çok içildiği ve yüksek tansiyonun sık görüldüğü toplumlarda, bu oran yüzde 5'in üzerine bile çıkabiliyor. Ancak, Türkiye'de bu konuda yapılan bir araştırma olmadığı için, tam bir sayı verilemiyor.

Sadece Türkler'de etkin genlerin varlığının mümkün olduğunu, ancak, Türkiye'de böyle bir araştırma yapılmadığı için bunun var olup olmadığının henüz bilinmediğine dikkati çeken Murat Günel, ''Bu yüzden böyle bir araştırmanın Türkiye'de de yapılarak, Türkler'e özgü bu genlerin saptanması halinde, gereken önlemlerin alınması çok önemli'' diye konuştu.

New mineral from a Turkish scientist

New mineral found by a Turkish scientist:
Meridianiite found in the seas salt where the Hokkaido iceland in Saroma Lake in Antartica..
Formula:MgSO4·11H2O
System:Triclinic
Name: Named to reflect the locality on Mars where the MER rover Opportunity observed crystal molds in sedimentary rock that are thought to be caused by minerals that have since dehydrated or dissolved.
A phase that is stable with a saturated brine or with ice and which melts above 2°C into a slurry of Epsomite and water. It has now been found occurring naturally on Earth (on the surface of a frozen pond) and is suspected of existing on Mars.

New Generation Imaging Technology using 'Nanotechnology'

A new generation of the world technology of optoelectronic provides DVD,LCD mobile phone technology screen, digital cameras and such similar equipment a better quality colour and higher resolutions produces significant results in cheaper cost

Note:Details in English version of this news to come...

Dünya bu buluşla sarsılacak.

Geleceğin teknolojisini Türk dahi üretti.

Bilkent Üniversitesi doktora öğrencisi Bayram Bütün, organik kimya ve nanoteknoloji kullanarak yeni nesil görüntüleme sistemlerinde kullanılabilecek geleceğin teknolojisini üretti.


Dünya optoelektronik teknolojisinde yeni bir çığır açması beklenen teknoloji ile yeni nesil DVD, LCD, cep telefonu ekranı, dijital fotoğraf makinesi gibi görüntü cihazlarında ve sağlıkta kullanılan görüntüleme teknolojilerinde milyonlarca renk çok daha ucuza ve yüksek kaliteyle elde edilebilir hale geldi.

Üniversitenin Elektrik ve Elektronik Mühendisliği Bölümü doktora öğrencisi Bayram Bütün, Avrupa Birliği 6. Çerçeve Programları kapsamında olan ve TÜBİTAK tarafından da desteklenen nanoteknoloji çalışmaları hakkında bilgi verdi. Doktora çalışmalarını Descartes ödüllü bilim adamı, Fizik Bölümü Öğretim Üyesi Prof. Ekmel Özbay'ın danışmanlığında Bilkent Üniversitesi Nanoteknoloji Araştırma Merkezi'nde (NANOTAM) sürdürdüğünü kaydeden Bütün, çalışmalarının özellikle kolay erişilebilir ve işe yarar nanoteknoloji geliştirmek üzerine odaklandığını belirtti.

Bayram Bütün, yeni geliştirdikleri nanoboyutlarda ışık kaynakları üzerine yaptıkları çalışmaları ile ilgili şu bilgileri verdi: “Geleneksel olarak lazerlerin ve LED'lerin çalışma dalga boyları bu ışık kaynaklarının yapıldığı malzeme olan yarı-iletkenlerin özellikleri ile sınırlıdır. Bu nedenle her farklı renkte çalışacak olan lazer için farklı bir yarı iletken kullanmak gerekir. Bu da farklı renklerde çalışması gereken lazerlerin maliyetlerinin çok yükselmesine neden olur.



Farklı renk elde etmenin en ucuz yolu ışık yayan sentetik organik polimerler kullanmaktır. Ama bu malzemelerden elektrik akımı çok zor geçtiği için yüksek kalitede ışık kaynağı yapmak mümkün değildir.” Bütün, NANOTAM'da Prof. Dr. Özbay başkanlığında yürüttüğü çalışması ile sentetik polimerler kullanarak nanoteknoloji temelli yüksek kalitede ışık kaynağı üreten organik lazer teknolojisini geliştirdiğini ifade ederek, “Bu teknoloji ile çok daha ucuza görüntü cihazı yapmanın yolu açıldı” diye konuştu.



İSTENEN RENKLERDE NANO IŞIK KAYNAKLARI Prof. Dr. Ekmel Özbay ise kansız ameliyatlarda, lazerle yara iyileştirmede, böbrek taşı tedavisinde, göz tedavilerinde, dişçilikte ve benzeri sağlık alanlarında, yüksek çözünürlüklü projeksiyon ekranlarında, DVD'lerde, lazer tabanlı reklam panolarında, LCD ekranlarda, cep telefonu ekranlarında dijital fotoğraf makinlerinde, MP3 oynatıcılarda, hologramlarda ve diğer pek çok uygulamalarda farklı renklere sahip çok daha ekonomik lazerlere ihtiyaç duyulduğunu dile getirdi.



Hem düşük maliyetli hem de farklı renklerde lazer yapabilmek için Bütün'ün ve projede görev alan diğer NANOTAM araştırmacılarının nanoteknoloji kullanarak yüksek performanslı LED'leri (Işık yayan diyot) ve sentetik organik polimerleri biraraya getirdiğini anlatan Özbay, “Bu sayede, LED'lerin elektriksel üstünlüklerini, organik malzemenin ucuzluk, seçenek çokluğu ve optik üstünlüğüyle birleştirerek istenen renklerde çalışan nanometre boyutlarında nanoışık kaynakları yapma başarısı gösterildi” dedi.



Bütün'ün yeni çalışmalarını değişik yapılarda lazer konfigürasyonları üzerine ve değişik organik polimerler kullanarak devam ettirdiğini söyleyen Özbay, şunları kaydetti: “Bu çalışmamız merkezimizde kurduğumuz bilimsel altyapıyla en başından en son aşamasına kadar kendi kendimize gerçekleştirdiğimiz çalışmadır. Bu nedenle Bilkent NANOTAM'da geliştirdiğimiz bu nanoteknoloji için rahatlıkla 'Made in Turkey' diyebiliyoruz. Bu nanoışık kaynağı hem günümüzde, hem gelecekte bir çok uygulamada kullanılabilecek özelliklere sahip üstün özelliklere sahiptir.” Özbay,



Bütün'ün çalışmasının “Nanotechnology” dergisinin Nisan 2008 sayısında yayımlandığını da bildirdi. Veteknoloji İnternethaber

Prof. Dr. Oktay Sinanoğlu/ He is the youngest person in the past century to attain a status of professor

Oktay Sinanoğlu is a Turkish scientist of theoretical chemistry and molecular biology. He was the youngest person in the past century to attain a status of professor when he earned the status at the age of 28. Also, he has been nominated to Nobel award in chemistry twice. He is also one of the most successful people about protection of Turkish Language.

Biography
Sinanoğlu was born on February 25, 1935 in Bari, Italy where his father served as a consul general. In 1939 by the commence of World War II, the family returned to Turkey. In 1953, he attended the high school "TED Yenişehir Lisesi" in Ankara, and after graduating won a scholarship for education of chemistry in the USA. In 1956, he graduated from Berkeley in chemical engineering with the highest rank. In only eight months, he graduated from MIT in 1957 with the highest degree. In two years, he finished his doctorate at the University of California at Berkeley. In 1960, Sinanoğlu started working as associate professor at Yale University. He theorized the "Many-Electron Theory of Atoms and Molecules" in 1962 by solving a mathematical theorem that had been unsolved for 50 years. The same year, he earned the "Alfred P. Sloan" prize. As appointed professor in 1963 at the age of only 28, he became the youngest person in the past century at Yale to attain the status as a full professor. He got his second life-long chair in Yale in Molecular Biology.
Sinanoğlu was the first to earn the Alexander von Humboldt's Science Prize in 1973. In 1975, he won the award of Japan's International Outstanding Scientist. In the 1980s, he theorized a new method from 180 theories concerning mathematics and physics, considered revolutionary, which enables chemists to predict the ways in which chemicals combine in the laboratory and to solve other complex problems in chemistry using simple pictures and periodic tables. Also, he took his place in the Academy of Arts & Sciences. In 1993, he moved to Turkey to teach at the Yıldız Teknik Universitesi, and officially retired at the age of 67. Yet his scientific researches has not ceased.
He received several international and local awards concerning his scientific and social contributions and efforts. He has been to many places including Asia and Latin America. He tried to establish strong communications between Japan, India and Turkey. Because of his efforts, he was given the title "Special Emissary" of Japan-Turkey. He worked for better education, purified language in Turkey most of his life and strived to form a conscious generation.

Top 10 College Women 2007

Melis Anahtar ; Her research will save lives

Melis Anahtar, 20, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
HER GOAL: To be a medical researcher.

HER MOTIVATION: As a 15-year-old intern working closely with doctors at the burn unit of Shriners Hospital for Children in Boston, Anahtar saw terrible suffering but came away inspired. “I’d think, these people would have died 10 years ago, but scientists at this very hospital developed the skin grafts to keep them alive.” Ever since, Anahtar has thrown herself into research that holds the same life-changing potential. She developed a blood-testing device that could give doctors quick, crucial information about how the body is reacting to a burn, and last summer identified a genetic basis for a rare form of albinism through her internship at the National Institutes of Health. Now the MIT mechanical and biomedical engineering major with a perfect GPA is part of a team designing a needle-free injector, an innovation that could make immunizations safer for people around the globe." http://www.glamour.com/news/articles/2007/05/collegewomen?currentPage=6

" My five summers with CTY were a crucial component of both my academic and social development."

-- Melis Anahtar, 2008 Rhodes Scholar and former CTYer (1994 - 2000)

"CTY was much more than a summer camp. The classes provided a degree of challenge and intellectual freedom that I had not experienced in school. I'll never forget my first CTY summer, when I took a Humanities class with Mr. Chapman. Having just finished second grade, I initially found the reading list to be daunting and had difficulty with the first few assignments. But by the end of the three-week session, I had a newfound sense of confidence in my reading and writing abilities, which continued throughout the subsequent school year.
My five summers with CTY were a crucial component of both my academic and social development. On top of being able to explore exciting new topics, like mathematical logic and creative writing, I made long-lasting friendships with like-minded kids. I fondly remember the time we spent on the playground, in the dining hall, and even on the bus. All in all, CTY was a spectacular experience that I am very grateful for."

Prof.Dr. Ibrahim Dincer receives Canadian Premier's Research Excellence Award

NEAR FUTURE TECHNOLOGY - Hydrogen Fuel cells ( the environmentally friendly energy converter and power generator)

Prof. Dr. Ibrahim Dincer (Department of Mechanical Engineering Istanbul Technical University Istanbul, Turkey ) : designs fuel cells to produce electricity by converting the chemical energy of fuel-hydrogen. ( for example-directly to power in a controlled chemical reaction with oxygen. Because there is no need for combustion or moving parts, fuel cells are ultra clean, highly efficient and very reliable.)

University Fuel Cell Roundup : Dr. Ibrahim Dincer, a professor at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, has received one of Ontario's highest research honors for his work involving fuel cell technology for automobiles. Dincer is the first UOIT faculty member to receive a Premier's Research Excellence Award, a distinction that brings with it $100,000 in research funding from the province and $50,000 in matching funds from the university. The Premier's Research Excellence Award was developed in 1998 to help Ontario's best researchers attract exceptional graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and research associates to their research teams. The program also aims to promote innovation among the finest researchers in the province. (20-Oct-2004, Canada NewsWire)
Dr. Ibrahim Dincer Seeks Solutions to Our Gasoline Addiction
Dr. Ibrahim Dincer hopes one day he can help North Americans break-or at least reduce-their gasoline habit. A Premier’s Research Excellence Award winner, Dr. Dincer has built an international reputation for his research into the practical application of fuel-cell technology in automobiles.

“The concentration of vehicles in urban areas has made air pollution a key environmental issue,” says Dr. Dincer. “Fuel-cell vehicles appear to be a major option to overcome the issues of environmental degradation and energy security.”

Fuel cells produce electricity by converting the chemical energy of fuel-hydrogen, for example-directly to power in a controlled chemical reaction with oxygen. Because there is no need for combustion or moving parts, fuel cells are ultra clean, highly efficient and very reliable.

Dr. Dincer is recruiting a team of highly qualified personnel to assist in his current research project…”

(2008): 'RoboTurk' helicopter to aid disaster recovery

Project RoboTurk : Ömer Çelik, Oğuz Bayrakdar

"RoboTurk helicopter to aid disaster recovery ,
Turkish engineers have built a prototype of an autonomous rescue helicopter equipped with Microsoft robotics and mapping software so that it can capture video of disaster sites and stream it back to command centers. The engineers Oguz Bayrakdar and Omer Celik began developing the robot, called RoboTurk, last year with the help of the Istanbul municipal government and Microsoft Robotics Group, which makes commercial software for autonomous applications that could range from a child's robotic Lego set to an unmanned helicopter."
