A meta-analysis of 63 publications assessed whether radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure is associated with genetic damage in mammalian somatic cells using multiple genotoxicity endpoints. Overall differences between RF-exposed and control conditions were reported as small, though statistically significant…

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…

This engineering study demonstrates a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) radio-frequency single-electron transistor (RF-SET) operating at temperatures above 4.2 K. The device was optimized to address high resistance in SOI SETs and showed stable transport characteristics after repeated thermal cycling. RF-SET operation was…

This prospective multicenter longitudinal trial evaluated arthroscopic thermal radiofrequency capsular shrinkage for chronic ankle instability in adults who failed conservative therapy. The study reports no clinically relevant improvement in mechanical stability, but substantial and statistically significant…

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 in vitro study tested whether a weak electric field reconstructed from duodenal spiking potentials during an MMC cycle affects bacterial adhesion to Caco-2 intestinal epithelial cells. The MMC-related electric field increased adhesion of Lactobacillus and Lactococcus strains, while two pathogenic strains…

This conference paper describes a mobile-phone telemedicine system for managing chemotherapy side-effects at home using symptom diaries and automated alerts to nurses. Six patients used the system for two cycles of oral chemotherapy. The abstract reports two instances where moderate symptoms deteriorated to more…

This laboratory study evaluated pulsed electric fields (PEF) combined with preheating to inactivate peroxidase (POD) and polyphenoloxidase (PPO) in freshly prepared apple juice. The highest reported inactivation occurred with preheating to 50°C and PEF at 40 kV/cm for 100 μs, exceeding the reductions seen with…

This exposure assessment measured peak magnetic fields during magnetic particle inspection, a nondestructive testing method that uses electromagnetism. Ninety-five peak measurements taken while inspecting 8 turbine engine shafts ranged from

This animal study evaluated two multiprobe radiofrequency ablation device approaches in pigs, including an impedance-based algorithm and clustered/combination probes with and without a switcher controller. The Pringle maneuver was associated with larger ablation volumes and shorter ablation times in one experiment,…

This retrospective case series reviewed four resections of symptomatic giant cavernous hepatic hemangiomas using an RF-powered multiarray (Habib sealer) for hepatic parenchymal transection. No blood transfusions were required and no major biliary or vascular injuries were observed at 1-year follow-up; one…

This theoretical paper investigates Beresinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless vortex physics in two-dimensional superconductors under an external magnetic field using a sine-Gordon field-theory approach. The authors state that the model yields a straightforward definition of field-induced magnetization. They also report that…
