After 3 hours of exposure, many rabbit lens epithelial cells were in the initial phase of apoptosis at 5 mW/cm2. At 10 mW/cm2, a large number of cells became secondary necrotic cells and severe damage was observed. The authors conclude these low power densiti…
Pulsed microwave exposure (5.655 GHz) was associated with high fluctuations in HRV power spectra, particularly in the 8–80 s (0.0125–0.125 Hz) band related to thermoregulatory control activity. During the recovery period after exposure, HRV power spectra chan…
Male kestrels bred under EMF conditions showed suppressed plasma total proteins, hematocrits, and carotenoids during the first half of the breeding season under short-term exposure, along with suppressed erythrocyte cells and lymphocyte proportions and elevat…
Pea seeds grown for 3 days in a low magnetic field showed multiple ultrastructural changes in root meristem cells, including lipid body accumulation, development of lytic compartments, and reduced phytoferritin in plastids. Mitochondria showed increased size/…
Eight rabbit eyes exposed to low power microwave radiation (10 mW/cm^2) for 30 hours showed apparent ultrastructural changes in lens epithelial cells on transmission electron microscopy, including apoptosis-like morphological features. No obvious changes were…

In 114 patients treated 170 times with multiple-electrode radiofrequency for liver tumors, the reported complication rate was 9.6%. Reported complications were 1 colon perforation, 4 skin burns, 5 hydrothorax cases, and 1 subcutaneous hemorrhage; no deaths du…
Mice exposed to 2450 MHz microwave radiation (10 mW/cm2) for 12 days had significantly decreased bone calcium and zinc compared with controls (P<0.05); copper, iron, and manganese also decreased. After administration of a composed traditional herb medicine ("…

Experimental results reported that insulin molecular conformation was altered after 30 minutes of pulsed electric field exposure; heat exposure for 50 hours also altered conformation. The authors suggest the conformation change may involve breaking and recomb…

After 2450 MHz continuous-wave microwave exposure (30 mW/cm2 for 1 h), some cultured pig retinal ganglion cells congregated and axons disappeared; ultrastructural changes included swelling of mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum, and apoptotic cells were ob…

In a within-subjects reversal design, ibuprofen dose (10–50 mg/kg, i.p.) was associated with significant differences in number of microwave heat reinforcers per hour and rate of responding, with both measures significantly higher during the first 2 hours of t…
A 5-minute exposure to 460 MHz electromagnetic radiation pulse-modulated at 2.5–40 Hz (average SAR 0.12 W/kg; pulsed SAR 3 W/kg) altered the percentage of Drosophila embryos with interrupted development. The strength of the effect depended on modulation rate,…

After ELF-EMF exposure (50 Hz, 100 microT, 1 h), microvesicle velocity increased from 0.32 ± 0.03 µm/s (n=120) in untreated controls to 0.41 ± 0.03 µm/s (n=175). Heat shock (45°C, 10 min) increased velocity to 0.56 ± 0.03 µm/s (n=125), and heat shock plus EMF…
During a 30-minute 900 MHz mobile phone conversation, skin temperature increased on the same side as the phone (max +2.3 ± 0.2°C at 6 min), nasal NO showed a tendency to increase (max +12.9 ± 4.9% at 10 min), and MCA was significantly reduced (max −27 ± 6% at…
U-937 and HCA-2/1cch cells exposed to a 25 Hz, 1.5 mT ELF-EMF for 2 h 45 min showed no significant alterations in cell cycle distribution and no induction of apoptosis. In HCA-2/1cch cells exposed in the presence of dexamethasone, relative cell number decreas…
Jurkat E6.1 cells preloaded with 32P were exposed to 0.1 mT, 60 Hz EMF or sham for 30 minutes. Three of five experiments showed no difference in low molecular weight protein phosphorylation versus controls, while two experiments showed an EMF effect. Stathmin…
Human and rat peripheral blood lymphocytes exposed in vitro to defined EMFs (1.8 mT pulsed; 0.1 mT 60 Hz; 0.2 mT 100 Hz) showed modulation of T-cell proliferation compared with unexposed controls.
A 50 Hz magnetic field at 1 mT or TPA (1 nM) alone did not affect micronucleus formation in initiated or non-initiated SHE cells. When benzo(a)pyrene (BP) was applied during magnetic-field exposure (altered initiation schedule), micronucleus formation increas…
Ultralow-intensity EMF exposure (4200 MHz, quasistochastic modulation 20–20,000 Hz; power density 15 microW/cm2; specific body absorption rate up to 4.5 mJ/kg) potentiated hexenal-induced sleep in rats by shortening time to fall asleep and increasing sleep du…
