This materials proof-of-concept study explored using radiofrequency EMF to heat magnetic nanoparticles dispersed in PLLA to modulate polymer properties. Heating was monitored by infrared camera, and polymer changes were assessed by differential scanning calorimetry and nanoindentation. The authors report that EMF…

This randomized sham-controlled study tested low-level electromagnetic field stimulation (3.2 × 10 G at 0.89 Hz) applied around the head in patients undergoing ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Eighteen patients completed the protocol, and LL-EMF was associated with shorter pacing-induced AF episodes after…

This paper presents a 3D GIS approach to model magnetic fields from overhead high-voltage power lines while accounting for terrain relief and cable catenary. The model was validated against extensive field measurements in two complex urban environments and showed good agreement with measured values, though accuracy…

This cross-sectional online survey examined whether paranoid ideation is associated with modern health worries and idiopathic environmental intolerance attributed to electromagnetic fields (IEI-EMF). Paranoid ideation was positively associated with modern health worries and with IEI-EMF status, even after controlling…

This in vitro and rat study evaluated sinusoidal electromagnetic field (EMF) treatment of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) seeded on 3D-printed scaffolds for repairing critical-sized calvarial defects. The authors report that EMF-treated cell scaffolds accelerated bone defect repair in rats.…

This animal study examined whether 8 weeks of EMF exposure affects insulin resistance and fatty liver features in db/db mice. The authors report improvements in insulin resistance markers, hepatic redox balance, and steatosis-related outcomes after EMF exposure. They also report reduced liver triglycerides and lower…

This in vitro and rat-model study evaluated sinusoidal low-frequency EMF combined with a PCL/nHA scaffold seeded with BMSCs for intervertebral fusion. The authors report enhanced osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs and pro-osteogenic effects of conditioned medium from EMF-treated BMSCs, with suggested involvement of…

This review discusses mandatory health surveillance for EMF-exposed workers under EU Directive 2013/35/EU, which focuses on preventing known direct biophysical and indirect effects. It notes that long-term effects are not covered because evidence for a causal relationship is considered inadequate. The authors report…

This pooled case series evaluated amplitude-modulated 27.12 MHz RF EMF delivered via the TheraBionic P1 device (3 hours daily) in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, comparing outcomes to historical controls. The authors report longer median overall survival for Child-Pugh A patients versus comparable…

This animal study evaluated whether ELF-EMF exposure affects recovery-related outcomes after cerebral ischemia in rats. Rats exposed to 50 Hz, 1 mT ELF-EMF for 2 hours daily over 28 days showed better Morris water maze performance than untreated rats. The study also reports increased hippocampal neurogenesis markers…

This in vitro and animal study evaluated whether extremely low frequency EMF exposure (1 mT, 45 Hz, 8 h/day) combined with Fe-based nanomagnetic particles enhances osteogenesis. The authors report no detectable cytotoxicity and increased osteogenic markers/proteins with combined NMP + EMF exposure, alongside…

This article reviews Italian jurisprudence on alleged occupational tumours linked to RF EMF exposure (notably from wireless phones), with some cases also involving other RF sources or ELF magnetic fields. It contrasts court decisions that recognized occupational causation with others that rejected it, emphasizing how…

This report discusses elements of new AIRM (Italian Association of Medical Radiation Protection) guidelines for health surveillance of workers exposed to electromagnetic fields. It focuses on identifying which workers should undergo surveillance and what surveillance should include. The approach described emphasizes…

This paper presents an in vitro, noncontact solenoid-coil device designed to deliver intermediate-frequency induced electromagnetic fields that generate electric fields in cell and tissue cultures. The system aims to improve field characterization and reduce conductive heating compared with electrode-based approaches…

This animal and in vitro study evaluated electromagnetic fields (EMF) treatment combined with a 3D-printed PLA/HA scaffold seeded with rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) for cranial defect repair. The authors report that EMF enhanced BMSC proliferation and osteogenic differentiation and was partly…

This multi-generation animal study exposed worms continuously to 50 Hz, 3 mT extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields and assessed outcomes in the 15th generation. The study reports increased body length, higher ATP content and ATP synthase activity, and upregulated ATP-related gene expression in exposed worms.…
