“…Results of the current study are in accordance with the previous study and similar studies on the effects of radiofrequency on the antimicrobial susceptibility of the K. pneumoniae after exposure to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi radiofrequency radiation and supports the "window" theory concept (17,(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36).…”

Introduction: Drug resistance to one or more antibiotics is mainly believed to be a serious threat to global public health which occurs by various mechanisms. The electromagnetic field as a nonchemical tool is capable of altering the antimicrobial susceptibility of bacteria. The aim of this study is the evaluation of the antimicrobial susceptibility of the Klebsiella pneumoniae to antibiotics before and after exposure to 900 MHz radiofrequency (RF) radiation produced by a mobile phone.Methods: Antimicrobial susceptibility of the bacteria to antibiotics disks were performed after exposure to 900 MHz radiofrequency radiation. Antimicrobial susceptibility was carried out by Kirby-Bauer and the inhibition zone of each antibiotic disk was measured (as mean). Additionally, growth variations under exposure were recorded and an outgrowth curve was drawn.Results: Based on the results, after 12 hours of exposure to 900MHz radiofrequency, there was observed a maximum increase in the sensitivity of K. pneumoniae and shown that radiofrequency (RF) radiation can change antimicrobial sensitivity significantly (P < 0.05). Also, the radiofrequency radiation effect on the bacterial proliferation was evaluated and showed that exposure enables the bacteria to grow faster in the exponential phase than the non-exposed bacteria. Conclusions:The findings of the study indicated that the sensitivity of K. pneumoniae was significantly increased to the various antibiotics after 12 hours of exposure to 900 MHz radiofrequency radiation. These observations could be interpreted by the concept of non-linearity in the responses of K. pneumoniae to different antibiotics after exposure to electromagnetic radiofrequency radiation and can be useful in the management of serious infectious diseases.

“…The role of pre‐exposures and induction of adaptive response phenomena in decreasing the risk of radiation in deep space missions has previously been discussed in detail by Mortazavi et al. . Citing Mortazavi et al about the importance of radioadaptation in deep space missions as well as those of other researchers, a 2016 NASA report states it is realistic to expect that cells will be exposed to multiple hits of protons before being traversed by an HZE particle “There have been several studies performed that indicate an adaptive response to low‐dose ionizing radiation can provide a level of protection against future exposures (Bhattacharjee and Ito 2001; Mortazavi et al.…”

Deep space missions, including Mars voyages, are an important area of research. Protection of astronauts' health during these long-term missions is of paramount importance. The paper authored by Szarka et al. entitled "The effect of simulated space radiation on the N-glycosylation of human immunoglobulin G1" is indeed a step forward in this effort. Despite numerous strengths, there are some shortcomings in this paper including an incomplete description of the space radiation environment as well as discussion of the resulting biological effects. Due to complexity of the space radiation environment, a careful analysis is needed to fully evaluate the spectrum of particles associated with solar particle events and galactic cosmic radiation. The radiation source used in this experiment does not reproduce the range of primary galactic cosmic radiation and solar particle events particles and their associated energies. Furthermore, the effect of radiation interactions within the spacecraft shell and the potential effects of microgravity are not considered. Moreover, the importance of radioadaptation in deep space missions that is confirmed in a NASA report is neither considered. Other shortcomings are also discussed in this commentary. Considering these shortcomings, it can be argued that Szarka et al. draw conclusions based on an incomplete description of the space radiation environment that could affect the applicability of this study.

“…Over the past decade, we have studied the health effects of exposure to different sources of electromagnetic fields such as cellular phones, [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] mobile base stations 13,14 and Wi-Fi routers. 3,6,[15][16][17][18][19] Regarding cancer, we have recently addressed the limitations and shortcomings of some of the studies claiming lack of association between exposure to radiofrequency radiation and cancer.…”
