This standards-focused paper evaluates ICNIRP and IEEE (C95.1-2019) exposure limits for brief, high-intensity pulsed RF-EMF between 6 and 300 GHz, particularly when exposures vary within the 6-minute averaging window. Using numerical and analytical modeling with a one-dimensional thermal tissue model, it reports…

This pre/post clinical study evaluated radiofrequency-assisted uvulopalatopharyngoplasty for snoring using polysomnography before and after surgery in 22 patients. The abstract reports a statistically significant postoperative reduction in snoring, with most patients showing decreased snoring index. The work concerns…

This paper describes a procedural technique for transseptal puncture that uses brief pulses of radiofrequency energy delivered from a standard electrosurgical cautery generator through the needle tip. The approach is presented as a way to facilitate septal traversal when tissue is elastic, aneurysmal, or thickened,…

This Level III therapeutic case-control study evaluated shoulder capsule histology after arthroscopic thermal capsulorrhaphy using monopolar radiofrequency energy, with follow-up from 3.5 to 62 months. Mid- and long-term mRFE groups did not differ from controls on several histologic categories (synovial layer, edema,…
