<p>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 observed. In vitamin E (VE) groups, no obvious changes were seen by light microscopy, while TEM showed mild mitochondrial swelling and intact mitochondrial cristae; VE was reported to reduce microwave-associated damage to some extent.</p>

<p>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 densities can induce irreversible damage to rabbit lens epithelial cells.</p>

<p>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 changes observed during exposure were reported as not permanent.</p>

<p>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, with a pronounced decrease at 10 and 16 Hz.</p>

<p>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 increased velocity to 0.54 ± 0.03 µm/s (n=110); no significant difference was found between heat shock alone and heat shock plus EMF.</p>

<p>ELF magnetic flux densities were mapped along stretches of sidewalk in central Göteborg City, Sweden. About 50% of the investigated street length had flux densities on the order of 0.2 µT and above, and strong flux densities (&gt;1.0 µT) were found close to distribution pillars, power substations, shoplifting alarms, and other electrical devices; elevated levels were suggested to be probably due to stray currents.</p>

<p>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 15 min). These changes were not recorded when an earpiece was used to avoid direct EMF exposure; on the opposite side, skin temperature and nasal NO did not change while MCA significantly increased (38 ± 10%).</p>

<p>Whole-body exposure for 10 min to static magnetic fields (SMF) at 10 mT significantly increased peak blood velocity in tibialis anterior muscle capillaries compared with sham during exposure and post-exposure. After withdrawal of SMF and 50-Hz EMF at 1 mT, significant similar effects on blood velocity were present or enhanced; the authors suggest 1 mT as a threshold level for enhancing muscle microcirculation under pentobarbital-induced hypnosis.</p>

<p>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 elevated granulocyte proportions at the end of the season. Long-term exposure also suppressed hematocrits in the first half of the reproductive period. The authors interpret the biomarker pattern as indicating higher oxidative stress in EMF-exposed birds, with an immune response evident mainly in short-term exposed birds.</p>

<p>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 increased 1.8-fold compared with BP alone; adding TPA to BP+MF did not further increase micronuclei.</p>

<p>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 duration. The same EMF exposure potentiated haloperidol catalepsy by decreasing the threshold dose and increasing catalepsy duration, with a prolonged effect reflected as suppression of emotional excitation in the open-field test within 24 hours after exposure.</p>

<p>Two low-intensity 50 Hz EMF conditions were studied. A weak EMF with prevailing electrical component (380–480 V/m, 120–140 nT) did not affect DNA synthesis intensity, while an EMF with stronger magnetic induction (10–15 V/m, 800–1500 nT) diminished glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity and proliferative processes in cultured stimulated lymphocytes. Electron microscopy after both exposures showed accumulation of lymphocytes with pyknotic nuclei and electron-dense cytoplasm and hypoplasia of vascular endothelium; effects were more marked with the prevailing magnetic component, suggesting lowered secretory activity of epitheliocytes.</p>

<p>In 6 independent experiments, mice exposed to 5 G, 60 Hz EMF for 1–105 days showed consistent effects across a broad panel of immune variables when the immune response was modeled allowing nonlinear relationships between field exposure and immune variables. The observed immune data patterns could be mimicked by sampling from a known chaotic system, which the authors interpret as consistent with intrinsic nonlinear regulatory mechanisms.</p>

It notes that early attempts to grow plants in weightlessness showed abnormalities including impaired water and nutrient uptake, dyscoordination of physiological processes, and growth/developmental retardation.</p>

Parkinson&#039;s disease, Alzheimer&#039;s disease, and other CNS diseases were reported as essentially unrelated to EMF exposure. Epilepsy risk was decreased versus the general population (attributed to healthy worker effect), but increased in internal comparisons; the discussion notes the increased risk of senile dementia and motor neuron diseases may be associated with above-average 50 Hz EMF exposure.</p>

<p>The abstract states that survival rates after surgery are roughly comparable with those obtained with percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) or radiofrequency (RF) ablation for early/intermediate hepatocellular carcinoma. It notes that survival curves with percutaneous ablation techniques are better than those of resected patients with adverse prognostic factors, and that initial survival curves of RF ablation for colorectal liver metastases are described as promising, while partial resection remains the gold standard due to size/site dependence.</p>

<p>The paper presents calculation programs for magnetic induction (B) fields for generators modeled as a current ring and a square current loop. It argues that knowing B alone is insufficient to determine areas of biophysical AMF action because AMF induces a stress field (Es) and an acting potential drop field (Ua), which depends on generator shape and body/organ form; it proposes developing programs to calculate Ua fields and concludes generator shapes for targeting specific organs should be standardized.</p>

<p>Numerical open-site electric-field estimations for a commercial base station antenna (using FDTD and near-to-far field transformation) were compared with experimental measurements. The authors report good agreement with measured values only when the complex phase of plane waves, two independent polarization states, and a ground-reflected contribution (computed with Fresnel formulae for stratified ground) are included.</p>

<p>Circumferential pulmonary vein ostial ablation was performed in 127 AF patients with 135 ± 18 radiofrequency pulses. After 14.7 ± 3.3 months follow-up, 84 paroxysmal and 22 chronic AF patients were in sinus rhythm, and 75 of those were without antiarrhythmic drugs. The extent of low-voltage potentials within and just around the lesions distinguished patients with and without successful ablation.</p>
