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 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 qualitative case study (2011) describes a pilot mobile phone-based management information system for neglected tropical disease control in Tanzania, where village health workers used phones with web-based software to capture data at source. The study reports improved routine work efficiency and increased…

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 experimental rabbit study evaluated radiofrequency microtenotomy (Rf-mt) in prostaglandin E1-induced Achilles tendon degeneration. Rf-mt increased vascularity based on histopathology and immunohistochemistry. However, the authors report no significant difference in tendon healing compared with a sham-control…

This study examined how pulsed electric field, hot water dip, ethanol vapours, and UV irradiation affected antioxidant-related properties of mung bean sprouts during storage at room and low temperatures. Ethanol vapour-treated sprouts had the highest ascorbic acid, total phenols, and antioxidant activity. Polyphenol…

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 exposure assessment study used portable exposure meters to characterize variability and repeatability of mobile phone base station RF-EMF measurements in urban areas of Basel and Amsterdam. Reported exposure levels varied by area type and city, with downtown/business areas showing higher ranges than residential…

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 field experiment examined short-term (48-hour) exposure to RF EMF from a GSM 900 MHz mobile phone base station on reproductive endpoints in four invertebrate species. The study reports no significant effects of exposure metrics on fecundity or number of offspring, and notes that distance was not a suitable proxy…

This conference paper examined whether LTE radiofrequency EMF exposure affects whole-brain EEG functional connectivity. Ten participants completed a crossover, double-blind real versus sham exposure protocol with 30 minutes of exposure per session while 32-channel EEG was recorded. Using synchronization likelihood,…

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…
