This engineering simulation modeled power-frequency EMF exposure for simulated patients with magnesium alloy coronary stents near a 200 kVA three-phase transformer. The highest exposure was predicted directly beneath the transformer, but cardiac tissue induced fields were reported to remain below ICNIRP public…

Jan 1, 2026
This in vitro study tested whether 4.0 GHz microwave exposure affects survival of aerosolized bovine coronavirus in a waveguide system. Using TCID assays, the authors report no statistically significant reduction in virus survival compared with controls and no significant change in variability. The paper emphasizes…
Exploring the Potential Observations Between Geomagnetic Activity and Cardiovascular Events: A Scoping Review

Jan 1, 2025
This scoping review mapped evidence on associations between geomagnetic activity/space weather and cardiovascular events, identifying 36 eligible studies from 1964–2023. Most studies reported correlations between geomagnetic/space-weather exposures and increased myocardial infarction, stroke, acute coronary syndrome,…
Electromagnetic fields modulate neuronal membrane ionic currents through altered cellular calcium homeostasis.

This experimental study used loose patch clamp recordings in coronal hippocampal slices to test effects of extremely low-frequency EMF exposure. A 50 Hz, 1 mT field applied for 60 minutes decreased inward and transient outward currents in CA1 pyramidal neuron membranes. Pharmacological manipulation of intracellular…
Nanosecond pulse electric field activation of platelet-rich plasma reduces myocardial infarct size and improves left ventricular mechanical function in the rabbit heart.

Jan 1, 2012
This animal and in vitro study evaluated nanosecond pulsed electric fields (nsPEF) as a nonchemical method to activate platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for cardioprotection. In rabbits undergoing brief coronary occlusion followed by reperfusion, PRP injection into ischemic myocardium was associated with reduced infarct…
Head-to-head comparison of coronary plaque evaluation between multislice computed tomography and intravascular ultrasound radiofrequency data analysis.

Jan 1, 2008
This study compared coronary plaque assessment by 64-slice multislice computed tomography (MSCT) with virtual histology intravascular ultrasound (VH IVUS) in 50 patients. The Agatston score on MSCT correlated moderately with calcium volume measured by VH IVUS, and MSCT plaque categories broadly reflected differences…
Greyscale intravascular ultrasound and IVUS-radiofrequency tissue characterisation to improve understanding of the mechanisms of coronary stent thrombosis in drug-eluting stents.

Jan 1, 2008
This review describes proposed mechanical causes of drug-eluting stent thrombosis and notes that many are identifiable by greyscale intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). It highlights that evidence linking specific IVUS findings to stent thrombosis remains uncertain because relatively few stent thrombosis cases have been…
Ultrastructural alterations and occurrence of apoptosis in developing follicles exposed to low frequency electromagnetic field in rat ovary.

Jan 1, 2007
This animal study examined rat ovaries after chronic exposure to a 3 mT low-frequency electromagnetic field for 4 hours per day over 4 months. Using TEM and TUNEL, the authors report ultrastructural alterations in oocytes and more frequent apoptosis-associated changes in granulosa and corona radiata cells versus…
