This Danish case-control study assessed residential extremely low-frequency magnetic fields (ELF-MF) calculated from 50 6400 kV facilities and risk of childhood leukaemia, CNS tumour, and malignant lymphoma from 1968 62003. For 1987 62003, the RR for the combined outcome at 0.4 bcT vs

This Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) Scientific Council report provides an annual overview of the previous year’s research on electromagnetic fields (EMF) to support the Authority’s risk assessment and policy work. It updates key topics including ELF magnetic fields and childhood leukaemia, mobile phones,…

This study used numerical modeling with a human body model to evaluate how the placement of a single body-worn personal exposimeter affects RF electric-field measurements in the 98–2450 MHz range. Across 256 simulated exposure scenarios, the body substantially altered measured values compared with the unperturbed…

This animal study exposed developing Sprague Dawley rats to 2.14 GHz W-CDMA RF-EMF at a whole-body SAR of 0.2 W/kg for 9 weeks (20 h/day). No differences were reported in multiple T cell population measures across blood, spleen, and thymus. Some Th1/Th2-related genes were upregulated (notably in thymus), but serum…

This animal organ-preservation study compared 12-hour porcine heart preservation at -3°C using a device generating a variable magnetic field versus conventional 4°C preservation. The subzero variable-magnetic-field condition showed higher myocardial ATP, lower lactate, and less mitochondrial ultrastructural damage…

This Data in Brief article provides additional experimental data supporting a related study on mitigating ageing effects (Staebler-Wronski effect) in hydrogenated amorphous silicon solar cells. The associated method involves applying reverse bias stress and evaluating how temperature, electric field intensity,…

This in vitro study tested whether a static magnetic field (SMF) could enhance the effects of cisplatin or adriamycin in Hepa1-6 tumor cells. The abstract reports that SMF combined with either drug increased growth inhibition and was associated with cell-cycle arrest, increased DNA damage, and more severe membrane…

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 pre/post study measured circulating microRNA profiles in 30 atrial fibrillation patients before and 3 months after radiofrequency ablation, comparing results with 10 healthy controls. The authors report that numerous miRNAs differed from controls at baseline and shifted after ablation, with several highlighted…

This paper describes synthesis and characterization of magnetic nanoparticles intended for tumor hyperthermia applications. It reports that the particles show relatively high specific absorption rate (22–200 W/g) under a 160 kHz alternating magnetic field at 100–500 Oe, despite low saturation magnetization. The…

This pilot-scale study evaluated pulsed electric field (PEF) processing of low-fat milk inoculated with E. coli, S. cerevisiae, or L. brevis. At 10 kV/cm and 200 kJ/L total pulse energy, the study reports multi-log microbial reductions, with >5-log reductions during storage at 200–250 kJ/L and slow regrowth over 15…

This cross-sectional study evaluated the Enhanced Liver Fibrosis (ELF) test in 58 obese children stratified by ultrasound evidence of liver steatosis. Children with steatosis had higher liver enzymes and a higher ELF value than those with normal ultrasound findings. Despite these differences, the authors report that…

This cross-sectional survey assessed how rural-based advanced midwives in South Africa perceive and use mobile phones for education and professional activities. Among 56 respondents, most reported frequent use of mobile phone functions to support work and learning despite low self-rated technology competence and…

This animal experimental study examined combined exposure to potable mineral water and low-intensity ultrahigh-frequency electromagnetic radiation (~1000 MHz;
