This mouse study examined chronic smartphone electromagnetic radiation exposure and its effects on spatial working memory and hippocampal progenitor cell proliferation. The authors report no significant differences in Y-maze spontaneous alternation or BrdU-labeled progenitor proliferation after exposure, but…

This retrospective study evaluated patient satisfaction and pain relief after pulsed radiofrequency treatment of the sphenopalatine ganglion for chronic facial and head pain. The abstract reports complete pain relief in 35% of patients, mild to moderate relief in 42%, and no acceptable relief in 23%. The authors…

This Danish case-control study assessed residential extremely low-frequency magnetic fields (ELF-MF) calculated from 50 6400 kV facilities and risk of childhood leukaemia, CNS tumour, and malignant lymphoma from 1968 62003. For 1987 62003, the RR for the combined outcome at 0.4 bcT vs

This Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) Scientific Council report provides an annual overview of the previous year’s research on electromagnetic fields (EMF) to support the Authority’s risk assessment and policy work. It updates key topics including ELF magnetic fields and childhood leukaemia, mobile phones,…

This exposure-assessment study compared modeled at-home RF-EMF from mobile phone base stations (NISMap) with 24-hour personal measurements in 93 Dutch participants. Correlations were low to moderate, with better agreement for time spent at home than for the full 24-hour period. While modeled estimates could rank…

This paper presents a near-field RF exposure assessment method comparing standard SAR estimation from E-field measurements in tissue-simulating liquid with a proposed approach based on incident H-field measurements. Experiments were conducted at 900, 1800, and 2450 MHz using dipole antennas and a flat phantom, with…

This observational space-physics study reports a substorm-associated injection of MeV electrons into the inner magnetosphere measured by Van Allen Probes-A. A strong dipolarization electric field (~50 mV/m) coincided with a dispersionless injection up to ~3 MeV and pitch angle signatures consistent with betatron…

This cross-sectional study developed and validated a Persian version of the Test of Mobile Phone Dependency (TMD) in 350 Tehran university students. Factor analysis identified three factors and the scale showed high internal consistency and moderate test-retest reliability. The authors report a best cut-off point of…

This qualitative report describes phase one of a treatment development study for adolescent suicide prevention, including development of a safety plan smartphone application. Clinicians, parents, and adolescents emphasized transition of care, specific treatment targets, and safety planning as important. All…

This Data in Brief article provides additional experimental data supporting a related study on mitigating ageing effects (Staebler-Wronski effect) in hydrogenated amorphous silicon solar cells. The associated method involves applying reverse bias stress and evaluating how temperature, electric field intensity,…

This longitudinal analysis evaluated cell phone messaging (texts and calls) as a tool for community Ebola syndromic surveillance in Moyamba District, Southern Sierra Leone (Aug–Oct 2014). The authors report that the cell phone alert system captured suspect and confirmed Ebola cases and mortality alerts, with many…

This randomized controlled trial evaluated whether mobile phone SMS messages could improve healthy food choices among Iranian postmenopausal women. Over 4 months, the intervention group received 16 messages about healthy food selection. The study reports increased consumption of Vitamin A rich fruits and vegetables…

This pilot-scale study evaluated pulsed electric field (PEF) processing of low-fat milk inoculated with E. coli, S. cerevisiae, or L. brevis. At 10 kV/cm and 200 kJ/L total pulse energy, the study reports multi-log microbial reductions, with >5-log reductions during storage at 200–250 kJ/L and slow regrowth over 15…
