This paper presents a methodological discussion about how to interpret exposure-response patterns and synthesize evidence in low-intensity RF-EMF research, focusing on animal cancer bioassays. It references an exchange around a systematic review on RF-EMF and cancer in experimental animals and critiques/considers…

This study used panel data from South Korea's 2023 Smartphone Overdependence Survey to build and compare machine-learning models predicting smartphone overdependence among adults aged 60+. Among evaluated classifiers, XGBoost had the best reported predictive performance (accuracy 0.925). The most important predictors…

This paper develops supervised machine-learning prediction models to analyze potential impacts of weak RF-EMF on human and animal cells using extracted laboratory experimental data from prior publications. Data from 300 peer-reviewed papers (1127 experimental case studies) were used with feature selection and…

This study compared patient-reported outcome (PRO) scores collected on paper versus automated mobile phone text messaging in orthopedic hand and upper extremity clinic patients. Over 48 hours, the same patients completed SF-12 and QuickDASH via text messages in random order. High intraclass correlations were reported…

This in vitro study compared ginsenosides extracted using pulsed electric field (PEF) versus solvent cold soak extraction (SCSE). The abstract reports that PEF extracts had higher antioxidant capacity and provided greater protection against hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress in HEK-293 cells, including…

This feasibility study evaluated whether delayed-enhancement MRI (DE-MRI) using commercially available tools could visualize radiofrequency ablation lesions in Japanese patients with atrial fibrillation. Of 15 scans, 3 were uninterpretable due to low image quality, and lesions were visualized in 8 of the remaining 12…

This study describes the design, pilot testing, and validation of a mobile phone application version of the Guatemala NEMS-S supermarket survey. In a single supermarket, the app demonstrated high interrater reliability relative to the paper version and good test-retest reliability. The app also reduced survey…

This article describes a mobile phone-based pilot study in egocentric networks of 12 gay men and their peers (44 participants total). Participants completed daily mobile assessments of HIV-transmission and general health behaviors, and phone log data were collected from gay men with Android phones. The paper focuses…

This study describes development and validation of a sham rTMS approach that combines a matched sham coil (for look/sound) with scalp electrical stimulation (for sensation). In back-to-back comparisons, TMS-naïve participants reportedly could not tell active from sham, whereas experienced participants could. The…

This paper presents numerical methods to compute ground-state solutions of spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensates in a uniform magnetic field. The approach uses normalized gradient flow with an additional normalization condition and enforces conservation of total mass and magnetization. The authors compare numerical…

This paper describes an aerodynamically assisted bio-jetting technique that processes living cells/organisms using differential pressure rather than an electric field. The authors report an operational window for stable jetting and near-monodispersed cell-bearing droplets. Cell viability after jetting was evaluated…
