This computational study investigates nonlinear membrane-potential dynamics in a Fitzhugh-Nagumo single-neuron model that includes an external electromagnetic radiation term. The authors report that increasing the frequency of an external transmembrane current leads to mode selection among periodic, quasi-periodic,…

This materials study examined how growth rate and an external magnetic field affect microstructure and properties in directionally solidified Ag-Cu eutectic alloys. The lamellar spacing followed the Jackson-Hunt model with a reported constant of 5.8 µm³/s. Increasing magnetic field tilted eutectic growth and…

This engineering study investigated RF-induced power deposition near straight insulated leads in an MRI context under different incident electric field profiles. Using 3-D electromagnetic simulations, the authors compared simulation-derived power deposition with implant model predictions. For the setups examined,…

This conference paper describes a peri-implantitis therapy using radio frequency electric current and presents numerical simulations alongside referenced clinical evidence. The abstract reports 81% successful treatment across 66 implants in 46 patients. FEM modeling suggests current preferentially concentrates in…

This engineering study investigated RF-induced power deposition from insulated leads of different lengths positioned near two surrounding tissues. The authors report that both the electromagnetic lead models and the resulting power deposition depended strongly on the electrical properties of both tissues. Using a…

This engineering study uses a 3D electromagnetic solver to simulate in-to-out body RF path loss for a wireless capsule endoscopy link. The capsule antenna is tuned for the 402 MHz MICS band while accounting for human body properties. The authors examine how capsule misalignment, rotation, and the human body model…

This computational study used finite element modeling to estimate the electric field distribution in the brain during tDCS for two electrode montages targeting the left DLPFC. It systematically varied isotropic tissue conductivity profiles to assess sensitivity of predicted E-field magnitude and components in the…

This study reports experimental measurements and numerical modeling of electric and magnetic fields near a high voltage substation in Annaba, Algeria. Field intensities were measured at multiple heights intended to correspond to sensitive human body regions and were validated using finite element simulations. The…

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 exposure-assessment study compared modeled at-home RF-EMF from mobile phone base stations (NISMap) with 24-hour personal measurements in 93 Dutch participants. Correlations were low to moderate, with better agreement for time spent at home than for the full 24-hour period. While modeled estimates could rank…

This animal/model-organism study examined whether weak low-frequency magnetic fields tuned to a proposed parametric resonance for calcium ions affect Ca(2+)-dependent proteolysis. It reports time-dependent modulation of Ca(2+)-dependent proteinase activity in fish and whelk and states that a minimal exposure time for…

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 development of a fully implantable biotelemetry system that wirelessly transmits cardiac biomechanical force data along with ECG. The system uses a microcontroller with a bidirectional RF transceiver and was tested in a porcine model. The authors report successful transmission and recording of…

This engineering/food science study measured dielectric constant (ε'), dielectric loss factor (ε″), and power penetration depth in beef and gravy preparations across 27–1,800 MHz and 20–130 °C. The dielectric properties generally decreased with increasing frequency, and penetration depth decreased with increasing…

This in vitro study examined whether electromagnetic fields (EMFs) influence chondrogenic differentiation of bovine mesenchymal stem cell pellets, with and without the inflammatory cytokine IL-1β. The authors report EMFs had limited effects on chondrogenesis in the absence of inflammation, but in the presence of…

This census-based cohort study in Switzerland examined modeled RF-EMF exposure from broadcast transmitters and childhood cancer risk using two cohort approaches. Across analyses, no association was reported for all cancers or childhood leukemia. Findings for CNS tumors were inconsistent, and the incidence density…

This animal study evaluated whether daily pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) treatments improve delayed fracture healing in skeletally mature ovariectomized (OVX) rats. By 6 weeks, PEMF-treated rats showed improved hard callus elastic modulus and radiographic evidence of better callus bridging compared with sham…
