The widespread use of wireless communication technologies has increased human exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMFs). Considering the brain's close proximity to mobile phones and its entirely electrical transmission network, it emerges as the organ most profoundly impacted by the RF field. This study aims to investigate the potential effects of RF radiation on cell viability, apoptosis, and gene expressions in glioblastoma cells (U118-MG) at different exposure times (1, 24, and 48 h).

A 71-year-old patient with cortical blindness was assessed using perimetry, pattern electroretinogram (pERG), Canadian Occupational Performance Measurement (COPM), and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) at baseline and after treatment. After 12 rTMS sessions and 50 visual perceptual rehabilitation sessions, perimetry, pERG, COPM, and MoCA significantly improved the visual field and daily functioning.

Islet transplantation offers a promising solution but faces challenges such as limited availability and the need for immunosuppression. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) provide a potential alternative source of functional β-cells and have the capability for large-scale production.

- * In the study, various concentrations of DTIC were tested on melanoma cells (SK-MEL-30) and human dermal fibroblasts (HDF), showing greater efficacy at lower doses against melanoma cells.
- * The optimal electric field strength of 1500 V/cm improved the cytotoxic effects of DTIC, significantly increasing its efficacy against melanoma while also impacting healthy cells, highlighting the need for careful ECT management in treatment.
Purpose: To report the results of invivo generated autologous plasmin enzyme(IVAP) assisted vitrectomy, partial circumferential-oral retinotomy and silicone oil injection for surgical treatment of patients with chronic retinal detachment without posterior vitreous detachment(PVD).
Methods: Study was performed in retrospective, comparative manner. A total of 16 consecutive eyes with chronic retinal detachment who had intravitreal injection of 50 µgr of t-PA and 0.
