In this study, the effect of exposure to 900 and 1800 MHz GSM-like radiofrequency radiation upon the urinary 6-sulfatoxymelatonin (6SM) excretion of adult male Wistar rats was studied. Seventy-two rats were used in six independent experiments, three of which were done with 900 MHz and the other three with 1800 MHz. The exposures were performed in a gigahertz transverse electromagnetic mode (GTEM) cell. The power densities of radiation were 100 and 20 microW/cm(2) at 900 and 1800 MHz frequency, respectively. The carrier frequency was modulated with 218 Hz, as in the GSM signal. The animals were exposed for 2 h between 8:00 AM and noon daily during the 14 day exposure period. The urine of rats was collected from 12:00 AM to 8:00 AM, collecting from exposed and control animal groups on alternate days. The urinary 6SM concentration was measured by (125)I radioimmunoassay and was referred to creatinine. The combined results of three experiments done with the same frequency were statistically analyzed. Statistically significant changes in the 6SM excretion of exposed rats (n = 18) compared to control group (n = 18) were not found either at 900 or 1800 MHz.

In this study, the impact of mobile phone radiation on blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability was investigated. A total of 21 New Zealand rabbits were used for the experiments, divided into three groups, each consisting of 7 rabbits. One group served as the control, while the other two were exposed to electromagnetic radiation at frequencies of 1800 MHz with a distance of 14.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines the effects of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) from common devices on Allium cepa L. (onion plants) at frequencies of 1800 MHz and 2400 MHz, across varying exposure durations.
- Prolonged exposure to EMR led to reduced root length, fresh weight, and dry weight, along with decreased protein content and increased activity of antioxidative enzymes during higher exposure times.
- The research also indicated that long-term EMR exposure caused oxidative stress and chromosomal abnormalities in the root tip cells, highlighting potential genotoxic effects on the plants.

The use of mobile phone is increasing around the world. Although it is beneficial in terms of communication, the electromagnetic radiations emitted by mobile phones may cause undesirable biological effects on the human body. In practical use, the tissue with which mobile phones come into most and are closest is the parotid gland.

The early detection of liver fibrosis is of significant importance. Deep learning analysis of ultrasound backscattered radiofrequency (RF) signals is emerging for tissue characterization as the RF signals carry abundant information related to tissue microstructures. However, the existing methods only used the time-domain information of the RF signals for liver fibrosis assessment, and the liver region of interest (ROI) is outlined manually.

Purpose: To evaluate the effects of 1800 MHz continuous wave (CW) and global system for mobile communications (GSM) modulated radiofrequency electromagnetic field (RFEMF) exposures on signal transduction (ST) protein and cytokine expression in differentiated human-derived monocytic THP-1 cells.
Materials And Methods: THP-1 cells were differentiated into adherent macrophage-like cells using phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). Following differentiation, cells were exposed to 1800 MHz CW or GSM modulated RFEMF for 0.
