“…Further, progress in radio-frequency microwaves, among others, has provided novel diagnostic and therapeutic methods; whereas microwaves between 400 kHz to 10 GHz are presently being studied for their therapeutic purposes in the medical field [ 16 , 17 , 18 ], and have been explored for diagnostic applications, such as early-stage cancer and tumor detection, organ imaging, etc. [ 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 ].…”

Modern humanity wades daily through various radiations, resulting in frequent exposure and causing potentially important biological effects. Among them, the brain is the organ most sensitive to electromagnetic radiation (EMR) exposure. Despite numerous correlated studies, critical unknowns surround the different parameters used, including operational frequency, power density (i.e., energy dose), and irradiation time that could permit reproducibility and comparability between analyses. Furthermore, the interactions of EMR with biological systems and its precise mechanisms remain poorly characterized. In this review, recent approaches examining the effects of microwave radiations on the brain, specifically learning and memory capabilities, as well as the mechanisms of brain dysfunction with exposure as reported in the literature, are analyzed and interpreted to provide prospective views for future research directed at this important and novel medical technology for developing preventive and therapeutic strategies on brain degeneration caused by microwave radiation. Additionally, the interactions of microwaves with biological systems and possible mechanisms are presented in this review. Treatment with natural products and safe techniques to reduce harm to organs have become essential components of daily life, and some promising techniques to treat cancers and their radioprotective effects are summarized as well. This review can serve as a platform for researchers to understand the mechanism and interactions of microwave radiation with biological systems, the present scenario, and prospects for future studies on the effect of microwaves on the brain.

“…15 The patch antenna has significant benefits such as its compact size, inexpensive, portability, and durability. These advantages of patch antenna attracted researchers to develop different designs of antenna for instance rectangular microstrip patch antenna, [16][17][18][19][20] circular microstrip patch, [21][22][23] ultra-wide-band (UWB) microstrip antenna, [24][25][26][27][28][29] inset-fed microstrip patch antenna, 30,31 meandered line patch antenna, 32 wearable patch antenna 33 for the purpose of early breast cancer diagnosis.…”

Breast cancer, a common and deadly cancer for woman, is gradually increasing each year. Magnetic resonance imaging, mammography, tomography, ultrasound, and biopsy are some of the medical technologies that can be used to identify breast cancer. However, none of them are as simple and effective as a microwave imaging (MI) technique. MI is a non-ionizing, non-invasive, tumor-sensitive, low-cost approach. The performance of MI is primarily determined by the antenna employed in the system. Here, we propose a new partial ground plane and slots-based miniature patch antenna designed for breast tumor detection within the FCC's authorized range (3.1 GHz – 10.6 GHz). The dimension of this antenna is 30 × 20 mm2. High-frequency structure simulator (HFSS) software is used to design a breast phantom with and without a tumor, and the antenna is separately simulated on both the tumored and tumor-free breast phantoms. The presence of a tumor within the breast is clearly depicted by the changes in return loss, VSWR, current density, electric field, and magnetic field strengths. The findings demonstrate that the proposed antenna is a suitable sensor which can detect a very tiny breast tumor (2 mm) due to its compact size and broad bandwidth.
