This experimental animal study examined RF EMF effects on reproduction in CBA mice and on the morphofunctional status of their offspring under two exposure models. The authors report that repeated short-term RF EMF exposure (5 days, 10 minutes per day, 1.2 mW/cm2) affected pregnancy course, litter number, fertility,…
Assessment of the neurotoxic potential of exposure to 50Hz extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMF) in naïve and chemically stressed PC12 cells

Jan 1, 2014
This in vitro study tested acute (30 min) and sub-chronic (48 h) 50 Hz ELF-EMF exposure up to 1000 µT in naïve and chemically stressed PC12 cells. Across assays of Ca2+ homeostasis, ROS production, and membrane integrity, the study reports no consistent or measurable neurotoxic effects under the tested conditions.…

Jan 1, 2014
This population-based Italian case-control study (153 neuroblastoma cases; 1044 controls) evaluated maternal characteristics and perinatal exposures, including measured ELF-MF home exposure during pregnancy. The authors report no association between ELF-MF exposure and neuroblastoma risk. Increased risks were…

Jan 1, 2014
This study tested whether radiofrequency emissions from a ringing GSM mobile phone affect home blood glucose monitor readings. Among 45 female nondiabetic students, the group measured in the presence vs absence of a ringing phone showed larger changes between two readings than a repeat-measurement control group…

Jan 1, 2010
This materials study reports that ZnO nanorod polymer hybrids can form liquid-crystalline phases and exhibit orientation switching under an applied AC electric field. The orientation reportedly changes from planar to homeotropic, analogous to switching in low-molecular liquid crystals. Dielectric measurements and…

Jan 1, 2008
This conference paper describes a mobile-phone telemedicine system for managing chemotherapy side-effects at home using symptom diaries and automated alerts to nurses. Six patients used the system for two cycles of oral chemotherapy. The abstract reports two instances where moderate symptoms deteriorated to more…

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…
