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 clinical study evaluated micro-plasma radio frequency treatment for facial acne scars in 24 patients. Patients received 3–5 treatments and were assessed using photographs before and 2 months after treatment. The authors report an overall improvement rate of 83.33% and conclude the technique is effective.

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 a MAXWELL 3D simulation study of electric field distribution in a tissue/tumor model relevant to electrical-pulse-mediated drug delivery. The authors report lower electric field strength in tumor tissue compared with normal cells. They interpret this as potentially increasing tumor susceptibility…

This paper describes a new magnetization transfer 31P MRS approach (MT-ISIS) for measuring the creatine kinase forward reaction rate in the human brain using a volume 31P/1H RF coil on a clinical 3-T MRI system. The method aims to reduce acquisition time (30 min), avoid scalp muscle contamination, improve RF…

This experimental and modeling study examined pulsed electric field (PEF) permeabilization in several fruit and vegetable tissues at 293 K using 1000 μs pulses and field strengths of 400 and 1000 V·cm(-1). While electroporation theory predicts greater damage in tissues with larger cells, the authors report this…

The paper evaluates how pulsed electric field (PEF) processing affects milk volatile compounds compared with HTST pasteurization (75 °C, 15 s). GC-MS detected 37 volatiles and reported some compositional differences between PEF and pasteurized milk, including increased aldehydes and lower methyl ketones with PEF.…

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 methods paper addresses how B0 (main field) and B1 (transmit field) inhomogeneities can bias SPGR and bSSFP steady-state MRI signals used for multicomponent T1/T2 relaxometry and myelin water analysis. It describes using DESPOT1-HIFI to calibrate flip angles and adding a B0-related parameter with multiple…

This modeling study applies uniform electric fields parallel and normal to 180° ferroelectric domain walls in PbTiO3 and computes equilibrium structures using anharmonic lattice statics. The authors report that electric fields can substantially increase domain wall thickness and identify a critical field Ec above…

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 experimental study examined how pulsed electric field (PEF) processing parameters affect cell membrane rupture in onion tissue disks, using ion leakage as the primary integrity measure. Disintegration efficiency increased with field strength up to 500 V/cm and varied with pulse width, pulse number, and…

This experimental study examined how pulsed electric fields affect onion tissue integrity and texture across different field strengths and pulse counts. It reports distinct critical field strengths for plasma membrane versus tonoplast membrane breakdown, with higher thresholds needed for tonoplast disruption. Effects…

This study evaluated high-intensity pulsed electric fields (HIPEF) as a processing method to inactivate polyphenoloxidase (PPO) in strawberry juice.
