This study develops and tests a theoretical model of how HeLa cells aggregate when exposed to a uniform AC electric field. Model-derived aggregation times and predicted string-length growth rates matched numerical simulation, and experiments observed substantial clustering in the chamber. The work is framed as…

This prospective clinical study followed patients with lumbar radiculopathy from contained disc herniations treated with radiofrequency-assisted micro-tubular decompression and nucleotomy. Among those with 4-year follow-up, pain scores improved substantially and most respondents reported satisfaction with quality of…

This engineering study assesses the risk of failure of composite high-voltage insulators in desert environments where sand accumulation and moisture can create conductive layers and leakage currents. Using realistic Sinai sand grain size and salinity data and an ABB composite insulator as a case study, the authors…

This engineering paper describes a third-order continuous-time current-mode ΣΔ modulator designed for WLAN 802.11b applications. It proposes a modified current mirror integrator and a dynamic latch-based current comparator aimed at improving bandwidth, linearity, and sampling rate. The authors report >60 dB dynamic…

This prospective randomized study compared submucosal resection (SMR) with radiofrequency turbinate volume reduction (RFTVR) in 60 patients with inferior turbinate hypertrophy. Both procedures significantly reduced turbinate volume and improved nasal obstruction symptoms and nasal inspiratory peak flow by 2 months.…

This animal study examined whether pre-exposure to radiofrequency radiation (from a GSM mobile phone) alters survival after subsequent Escherichia coli infection. The abstract reports higher survival in the group receiving both RF pre-exposure and bacterial challenge than in the group receiving only the bacterial…

This paper presents a two-compartment computational model of CA3 pyramidal neurons to investigate how extracellular electric fields influence neuronal behavior via ephaptic transmission. The model is matched to subthreshold experimental responses at rest and used to analyze how DC and sinusoidal fields affect…

This retrospective study evaluated liver lesion conspicuity during real-time MR-guided radiofrequency applicator placement using spoiled GRE and balanced SSFP MRI sequences in a 1.5 T scanner. Lesion detectability categories and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) were compared for hepatocellular carcinoma and liver…

This prospective interventional study randomized 60 patients with inferior turbinate hypertrophy to bipolar radiofrequency-assisted versus microdebrider-assisted turbinoplasty (30 per group). Both groups showed significant postoperative symptom improvement through 6 months. Three recurrences were reported at 6 months…

This study tested noninvasive 13.56 MHz radiofrequency electric fields as a treatment adjunct for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma in cell lines and mouse xenograft models. The authors report RF exposure caused cytotoxicity in PDAC cells via autophagy (not apoptosis) and that normal pancreatic ductal epithelial cells…

This randomized comparative animal study tested whether extremely low frequency pulsed electromagnetic field exposure affects IVF success in NMRI mice. Mice in the experimental group were exposed to a 1.3 mT pulsed field at 4 kHz for 5 hours during the IVF process. Although the exposed group showed a higher IVF…

This paper reports extremely low frequency (ELF) magnetic flux density measurements from 47 GSM mobile phones, collected to support exposure classification in the MOBI-KIDS epidemiological study. At 25 mm, maximum resultant magnetic flux density at 217 Hz had a geometric mean of 221 nT, and inclusion of harmonics…

This cross-sectional study compared EMF-related health perceptions and symptom attribution among self-identified EMF-sensitive individuals from an internet panel, non-sensitive individuals, and an NGO-recruited IEI-EMF group. The internet-panel sensitive group reported more non-specific symptoms, higher perceived EMF…

This cross-sectional survey study (LEXNET project) examined how subjective exposure knowledge relates to risk perception (RP) for different RF EMF sources. Respondents were more concerned about base stations than other sources. Regression results suggested that most exposure-characteristic features (except distance)…

This animal study evaluated a therapeutic 120 Hz pulsed EMF device (10–20 mT) in C3H mice bearing implanted murine mammary adenocarcinoma tumors. Across seven treated groups, EMF exposure over 12 days was reported to suppress tumor growth, with specific dose/time regimens described as most effective. The authors also…

This cross-sectional survey sampled general practitioners in Germany to assess EMF knowledge and its relationship to concern about EMF health risks. Four latent knowledge groups were identified, with 43.1% giving mainly correct answers and 14.0% answering mostly "don't know". Concern was not related to knowledge…

This multicentre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in Japan evaluated lansoprazole 15 mg daily for 4 weeks in functional dyspepsia diagnosed by Rome III criteria. Lansoprazole showed higher overall symptom relief than placebo at week 4 and improved epigastric pain and burning scores. Postprandial…

This laboratory study examined pulsed magnetic field (PMF) pretreatment of soybean seeds (1500 nT) at 0.1–100 Hz for 5 hours/day over 20 days. The abstract reports increased germination rates for all PMF treatments, with 10 and 100 Hz showing the strongest responses, and improvements in several seedling growth and…
