This publication is a comment on a study reporting an association between excessive mobile phone use during pregnancy and birth weight. The authors argue the referenced study has shortcomings and cannot address whether ordinary mobile phone use during pregnancy leads to low birth weight. They note their prior…

This paper describes an on-line ELF magnetic stimulation setup and evaluates coil field distribution using COMSOL simulations alongside physical measurements. The authors report that modeled and measured magnetic flux densities were similar, and that stimulation induced sodium channel currents and fEPSPs in rat…

This paper describes in situ EMF measurements around industrial high frequency (dielectric) welders, framed by Polish labor safety regulations aligned with EU Directive 2013/35/EU. It reports real-world scenarios where excessive EMF exposure can occur near welders, often linked to errors or omissions during…

This in vitro study examined whether a 50-Hz, 0.50 mT intermittent electromagnetic field modifies responses to cisplatin and bleomycin in MCF-7 and SH-SY5Y cells. The authors report increased susceptibility in MCF-7 cells with EMF added to cisplatin+bleomycin, while SH-SY5Y susceptibility was unchanged. They also…

This correspondence discusses a prior ecological study examining a possible association between RF-EMF exposure in Albacete, Spain and cancer incidence. The cancers mentioned include lymphomas and brain tumors. The correspondence indicates that shortcomings of the ecological study are discussed, but does not detail…

The study presents a smart city service for electromagnetic field assessment using deployed measuring probes integrated into a city platform. Data collected for more than one year are processed to characterize E-field levels across large areas and over time. The authors report that the results validate the…

This in vitro study tested whether an extremely low-frequency EMF (100 Hz, 100 G) could enhance temozolomide cytotoxicity in human glioma cell lines (U87 and T98G). The authors report that combined EMF and temozolomide increased apoptosis relative to either treatment alone and was accompanied by changes in…

This in vitro study examined rat adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells exposed to zinc sulphate in the presence of an ELF electromagnetic field (50 Hz, 20 mT). The authors report increased osteogenic differentiation markers (gene expression, ALP activity, and calcium levels) under combined ZnSO4+EMF conditions,…

This engineering study evaluates microwave radiation in a household microwave oven for rapid treatment of 1000 g of human feces across multiple power and time settings. It reports substantial volume reduction and high pathogen eradication at higher power settings, and improved moisture removal when using lower power…

This in vitro study tested 900-W microwave radiation regimens (3, 5, or 7 minutes) to disinfect type IV dental stone surfaces contaminated with S. aureus, E. coli, or C. albicans. The authors report that 5 and 7 minutes achieved sterilization for S. aureus, while 3 minutes did not fully sterilize; all times were…

This animal experimental study reports that low-intensity ultrahigh-frequency electromagnetic radiation and a low-intensity low-frequency magnetic field, applied after radiation exposure, enhanced metabolic and regenerative processes in rat testes and liver. The magnetic field was associated with increased…

This paper describes an in vitro gene transfection technique termed water-in-oil droplet electroporation, using an intense DC electric field to deform a droplet between electrodes. The deformation can cause an instantaneous short circuit, during which transient membrane pores are reported to form and permit exogenous…

This retrospective cohort study reviewed medical records from a Swedish tertiary pain centre to assess 1-month outcomes after pulsed radiofrequency for chronic non-cancer pain. Among patients receiving lumbar median branch pulsed radiofrequency, a minority had major or minor improvement, while many had no change and…

This engineering study deposited Ga-doped ZnO thin films via radio frequency sputtering and examined how Ga content affects optoelectronic properties and electrical stability. The abstract reports non-monotonic changes in conductivity with increasing Ga content alongside degraded crystallinity, while maintaining >80%…
