The paper proposes a biophysical explanation (Ion Forced-Oscillation mechanism) for how partially polarized sferics from thunderstorms, particularly in the ELF band, could be sensed by humans via symptoms such as headache, fatigue, and sleep disorders. It arg…
Zebrafish embryos exposed to 900 MHz RF-EMF (30 or 60 min/day) showed decreased mRNA transcript abundance of lepa, ins, and pparg, decreased SOD and acetylcholine esterase activities, and increased LPO, NO, and GST. Locomotor activity increased in the EMF-30 …
Two men working in offices near newly deployed 5G base stations developed symptoms described as typical for “microwave syndrome” after deployment. Peak RFR measurements in the offices ranged up to 1,180,000 μW/m2 (office 1), 501,000 μW/m2 (office 2), and 613,…
Narrative review describing EMF sources (ELF and RF up to <300 GHz) and reporting that EMF exposure is associated in the cited literature with oxidative stress and multiple biological/organ effects. The abstract states a relationship between EMF exposure and …
This review argues that despite predictions of shallow penetration of millimeter-wave electric fields, reported animal and human studies show effects in deeper tissues (e.g., brain, heart, internal organs) and changes such as EEG/neurological effects, cardiac…
Using Swedish Cancer Register data (1970–2017) and NORDCAN data for Nordic countries (1970–2016), thyroid cancer incidence increased statistically significantly in women and men, with particularly pronounced increases in more recent periods (e.g., 2010–2017 i…
Microscopic segmented brain images of Drosophila under EMF exposure showed geometrical features with discriminatory properties that enabled machine-learning classifiers to distinguish exposed vs non-exposed brains, with reported classification performance up …
An increase in power output from an antenna located ~4 feet from a hematology analyzer was temporally associated with aberrant side scatter and abnormal/erroneous WBC counts. Powering down the antenna returned the instrument to normal working conditions, and …
The paper proposes a hypothesis that both thunderstorms and high-voltage power lines can generate environmental electric fields sufficient to ionize nearby air and airborne particles, increasing deposition/retention of ionized particles in the lungs. It argue…
This literature review reports that several studies found links between living near cellular antennas and various health complaints. It states that reviewed studies concluded cancer incidence was higher among people residing within 400 meters of mobile antenn…
Microwave irradiation was associated with changes in the growth medium’s spectral properties (200–350 nm), bioluminescence characteristics, NMR relaxation parameters, bacterial growth characteristics, cellular morphology, and surface topology. The authors rep…
A type 1 diabetic male reported multiple instances in which blood glucose was dramatically elevated in the presence of microwave radiation from wireless technology and decreased when exposure ended. In one instance, both blood glucose and body temperature wer…
This perspective article describes an experiment on bees and states that it clearly shows adverse effects of electromagnetic fields on honeybees' behavior, and calls for reproduction by other researchers.
The paper reports modeled/estimated human RF exposure levels for 5G downlink and states that 5G downlink RF fields generate significantly higher power density and specific absorption rate than a current cellular system. It also argues SAR should be considered…
In a tibial neuroma transposition model, RF EMF stimulation was associated with a persistent and significant pain response compared with sham surgery groups, alongside a transient increase in skin temperature during stimulation. TRPV4 expression was increased…
A 48-year-old woman reported recurrence of neurologic symptoms after installation of a wireless modem with a public hotspot in a nearby apartment; symptoms reportedly stopped after the modem was replaced with a router without hotspot feature and recurred when…
In a questionnaire-based cross-sectional study of 250 inhabitants, multiple self-reported symptoms (e.g., nausea, headache, dizziness, irritability, depression, sleep disturbance, memory loss, lowered libido) were reported as statistically significantly more …
A 69-year-old man underwent left atrial radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation and later developed esophageal perforation with empyema after discharge. The lesion was repaired using a muscle patch and esophageal stenting with minimal morbidity.
Two cases of hepatic arterioportal fistula occurring after radiofrequency ablation for hepatocellular carcinoma were identified by imaging (CT/Doppler/DSA) and were successfully occluded using transarterial embolization (gelatin sponge particles in one case; …
In this retrospective review of 8 patients (9 tumors) with prior enterobiliary anastomosis undergoing liver tumor RFA, postoperative complications occurred in 6/8 cases (75%). Liver abscesses occurred in both cases with tumors in the hepatic hilum (5–30 mm fr…
