This animal experiment assessed integral and pulsed bioelectric activity across rabbit brain regions during exposure to low-intensity magnetic and electromagnetic fields. The authors report that brain-region participation in CNS reactions varied across exposure parameters and conditions and depended strongly on…

This in vitro study exposed newborn rat calvarial osteoblasts to a 3.9 mT static magnetic field for varying durations (0–4 hours). The authors report increased cell proliferation and markers of osteoblast differentiation and mineralization versus control, including higher ALP activity, calcium content, and…

This case-control study measured electric field intensity and magnetic flux density in high voltage substations and estimated workers' ELF-EMF exposure over a shift. Sleep quality was assessed using the PSQI in 67 exposed workers and 110 controls. The study reports no statistically significant difference in overall…

This in vitro FTIR study examined human haemoglobin aqueous solutions exposed to a 200 mT static magnetic field for 3 and 7 hours, with and without the disaccharides sucrose and trehalose. The authors report spectral changes (amide A decrease and reduced CH(3) stretching) in haemoglobin dissolved in bi-distilled…

This study investigates instrumentation and procedures to assess electromagnetic exposure from compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) by measuring both incident and induced fields in the 10 kHz–1 MHz range. For some CFLs, incident electric fields exceeded ICNIRP reference levels at close distances, but induced fields were…

This pre/post clinical study evaluated radiofrequency-assisted uvulopalatopharyngoplasty for snoring using polysomnography before and after surgery in 22 patients. The abstract reports a statistically significant postoperative reduction in snoring, with most patients showing decreased snoring index. The work concerns…

This paper describes the design and preliminary implementation of a mobile-phone-based wireless blood pressure monitoring system that transmits data via Bluetooth and computes blood pressure and heart rate on the phone. The authors state that experiments demonstrated the device’s reliability and stability, and that…

This animal study evaluated whether magnetic field exposure affects breast tumor growth and viability in mice injected with breast cancer cells. Tumor growth was monitored in real time using luciferase labeling and an in vivo imaging system. The authors report that 360 minutes of daily magnetic field exposure for up…

This in vitro study exposed newborn rat calvarial osteoblasts to 50 Hz sinusoidal electromagnetic fields at 1.8 mT for different daily exposure times (0.5–3.0 h). The authors report inhibited osteoblast proliferation at longer exposure times, alongside increased differentiation markers (ALP activity) and…

This paper reports the development of a 15-channel transmit-receive RF coil for 7 T human brain MRI, using a hybrid decoupling approach to support element placement along three axes. The design is presented as enabling B1+ shimming and parallel imaging acceleration in three dimensions, with reported isolation and…

This study investigated how exposure to a static magnetic field affects electricity production in Shewanella-inoculated microbial fuel cells across different reactor configurations. A 100 mT field was reported to increase maximum voltage and the effect was described as immediate and reversible, with possible adverse…

This in vitro study examined whether extremely low-frequency magnetic fields affect chondrogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells in pellet culture. Cells exposed for 3 weeks to a homogeneous sinusoidal 5 mT magnetic field showed increased collagen type II expression (significant at passage 6) and…

This study describes an electrooptical technique for polydisperse colloid solutions using short pulses of strong sine-shaped electric field, intended for systems that cannot withstand prolonged field exposure. The authors report that key particle parameters can still be extracted from the resulting experimental data.…

This laboratory study examined how temperature and prior electric-field exposure affect low-field conductivity in the charge density wave material o-TaS3. Conductivity differed between cooling and heating below the CDW transition, and applying increasing electric fields drove the system toward a stable,…
