Jan 1, 2007
This animal study examined rat ovaries after chronic exposure to a 3 mT low-frequency electromagnetic field for 4 hours per day over 4 months. Using TEM and TUNEL, the authors report ultrastructural alterations in oocytes and more frequent apoptosis-associated changes in granulosa and corona radiata cells versus…

Jan 1, 2007
This paper describes a system intended to encourage daily walking exercise in people with COPD. During home exercise, the platform sends SMS messages to the patient's mobile phone indicating the target exercise intensity (linked to music tempo). The abstract does not report any findings about health outcomes or…

Jan 1, 2007
This rat study examined 900 MHz radiofrequency exposure (30 min/day for 30 days) and reported biochemical and histopathologic changes in endometrial tissue consistent with oxidative stress and tissue injury. The abstract reports increased NO and MDA and decreased antioxidant enzyme activities (SOD, CAT, GSH-Px) in…

Jan 1, 2007
This occupational exposure assessment used personal dosimeters to estimate ELF magnetic field exposure in 543 workers across 9 occupational settings in Emilia-Romagna. Median time-weighted average exposure was 0.14 microT, with tile production showing the highest setting-level TWA. Repeat measurements after 6–9…
Effects of pulsed electromagnetic field vibration on tooth movement induced by magnetic and mechanical forces: a preliminary study.
Research
RF Safe Research Library
Jan 1, 2007
This randomized animal study tested whether pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF)-induced vibration affects orthodontic tooth movement produced by magnetic and/or mechanical forces. Forty-four Wistar rats were exposed to PEMF-induced vibration or normal atmosphere while tooth movement was induced using magnets and/or…
