This mouse study examined chronic smartphone electromagnetic radiation exposure and its effects on spatial working memory and hippocampal progenitor cell proliferation. The authors report no significant differences in Y-maze spontaneous alternation or BrdU-labeled progenitor proliferation after exposure, but…

This proof-of-concept cohort study evaluated cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) radiofrequency tissue tagging to diagnose constrictive pericarditis and compared results with surgical findings and cardiac catheterization. In 16 patients who underwent pericardiectomy, CMR positivity agreed 100% with intraoperative…

This retrospective study evaluated patient satisfaction and pain relief after pulsed radiofrequency treatment of the sphenopalatine ganglion for chronic facial and head pain. The abstract reports complete pain relief in 35% of patients, mild to moderate relief in 42%, and no acceptable relief in 23%. The authors…

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…
