This study aimed to investigate the effect of 12 weeks of dual-task training on cognitive status, physical performance, and brain oscillation of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Twenty-six AD patients were randomly assigned to two groups, the training group (TG) and control group (CG). TG executed progressive combined exercises with visual stimulation twice a week for 12 weeks.

The median lethal concentration (96 h; LC50) of arsenic (NaAsO₂) was calculated as 28.22 ppm in repeated semi static test method.

The DNA damage was measured in the tissue of gill, kidney and liver as the percentage of DNA in comet tails and comet heads in the tissue of the fish specimens exposed to 0.1, 1.

Fish were exposed to three different concentrations (3 ppm, 28 ppm and 56 ppm) of arsenic and gill, liver and blood tissue samples were collected after 48 h, 96 h and 192 h of exposure. Arsenic exposure induced DNA damage in all tissues examined in a concentration dependent manner.
