This exposure assessment quantified RF-EMF levels using portable, high-sampling-rate devices across 94 outdoor microenvironments and 18 public transport vehicles in six countries. Mean outdoor exposure ranged from 0.23 to 1.85 V/m, and public transport exposure ranged from 0.32 to 0.86 V/m. Exposure varied…

This article presents a protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis on radiofrequency electromagnetic field exposure from electronic devices and effects on the fertility system. The authors cite growing public concern and conflicting findings in prior studies as motivation. The protocol plans broad database…

This engineering study describes miniaturized, flexible, battery-free wearable pulse oximetry systems that use near-field communication (NFC) for wireless operation. The devices capture and transmit photoplethysmograms to derive blood oxygenation, heart rate, and heart rate variability. The abstract reports…

This study compared thermosonication, pulsed electric field, and thermal processing for preserving Royal Gala apple juice and evaluated sensory attributes and quality stability during 30 days of storage at 3°C and 20°C. Thermosonication and pulsed electric field produced juices with different taste compared with…

This review-style article discusses gerontechnologies—mobile applications on smartphones/tablets and remote monitoring systems—for outpatient symptom monitoring and self-care management in older adults with heart failure. It frames these tools as potentially cost-effective and accessible when designed for older…

This engineering conference paper describes a method for controlling the locomotion of swallowable wireless capsule endoscopy devices using a dynamic magnetic field generated by external coils. A permanent magnet embedded in the capsule is manipulated by adjusting external field strengths to maintain equilibrium for…

This randomized controlled trial evaluated whether mobile phone SMS messages could improve healthy food choices among Iranian postmenopausal women. Over 4 months, the intervention group received 16 messages about healthy food selection. The study reports increased consumption of Vitamin A rich fruits and vegetables…

This study enrolled 70 patients with primary hyperthyroidism and 74 healthy volunteers and assessed carotid artery structure and function using ultrasound RF data parameters before and after 131I therapy. Hyperthyroid patients showed worse carotid IMT and stiffness-related measures than controls at baseline. After…

This engineering study assesses optimal RF frequencies for wireless communication with intraoral electronic devices using an intraoral tongue drive system as an example. It compares 27 MHz, 433.9 MHz, and 2.48 GHz based on path loss, radiation patterns, and bit error rate tests, with adaptive impedance matching…

This engineering study evaluates a nanoantenna design that combines concentric gold rings with a directivity-enhanced Raman scattering structure. Using finite-difference time-domain simulations and SERS measurements on fabricated devices with thiophenol, the authors report stronger electric field enhancement,…

This study examines how spatial inhomogeneity affects a two-dimensional noncentrosymmetric superconductor in an in-plane magnetic field, motivated by LaAlO3-SrTiO3 interfaces. The authors report that spatial variation of Rashba spin-orbit coupling can generate local magnetic flux patterns through a field-induced…

This study evaluated MRI safety parameters for three commercial veterinary RFID microchips at 1 T, assessing movement forces, heating, artifacts, and device function. Translation and torque were reported to be larger than expected from normal activity, but no significant heating was observed and microchip function…

This SCENIHR Opinion updates earlier 2009 SCENIHR documents on EMF health effects and research needs, focusing on new information and remaining knowledge gaps. The abstract primarily characterizes sources and patterns of exposure across static, ELF, IF, and RF fields in both public and occupational settings. It notes…

This methods study evaluated an MRI-based surface distance measurements (SDM) approach for localizing Broca's area for TMS coil placement without external tracking devices. Coil positioning using SDM was compared with an advanced frameless stereotaxic navigation system. The reported mean difference between methods…

This theoretical paper analyzes vortex solutions in two-component superconductors within a U(1) x U(1) Ginzburg-Landau framework. It reports that exponentially screened magnetic fields are only found in special cases, while most parameter choices yield delocalized magnetic fields with slowly decaying tails. It also…
