This preliminary prospective clinical trial compared pulsed electromagnetic field stimulation (PEMF) and low intensity laser irradiation (LILI) as adjuncts to mandibular fracture repair assessed by clinical union and radiodensitometric bone density. Clinical outcomes (segment stability and occlusion) were…

This cross-sectional questionnaire study assessed how orthopaedic residents and consultants in Karachi used smartphones for clinical work and academics. Most respondents owned smartphones and reported using apps and internet/email, but fewer used them to share clinical data. The paper does not assess electromagnetic…

This engineering/medical physics study used Monte Carlo simulations to examine how a uniform transverse magnetic field affects the dose distribution of a 30 MeV electron beam in a water phantom. The abstract reports substantial changes in depth-dose, including reduced range and a pronounced end-of-range dose peak…

This animal study compared rat liver and blood serum enzyme activities after a total two-hour exposure to low-intensity 900 MHz electromagnetic fields delivered as either a single or fractional schedule. The authors report that creatine kinase (liver and serum) and serum alkaline phosphatase were the most sensitive…

This animal study reports that combined static (42 μT) and very weak alternating (250 nT) magnetic fields can modulate the duration of metamorphosis in Tenebrio molitor pupae depending on the alternating-field frequency. A shorter pupal stage was reported at 4.4 Hz, an inhibiting effect at 32.2 Hz, and no noticeable…

The paper reviews and analyzes mechanisms for resonance action of extremely weak alternating magnetic fields (40 nT) combined with weak static fields (40 μT), tuned to cyclotron frequencies. It references prior reports of narrow resonant peaks in electrical conductivity of aqueous solutions and biomedical effects in…

This randomized comparative animal study tested whether extremely low frequency pulsed electromagnetic field exposure affects IVF success in NMRI mice. Mice in the experimental group were exposed to a 1.3 mT pulsed field at 4 kHz for 5 hours during the IVF process. Although the exposed group showed a higher IVF…

This paper describes an engineering application of electromagnetic field (EMF) treatment to mitigate biofouling in seawater-cooled tubular heat exchanger-condensers. After allowing a biofilm to stabilize, EMF treatment was applied and was reported to precipitate dissolved ions and contribute to partial…

This paper reports extremely low frequency (ELF) magnetic flux density measurements from 47 GSM mobile phones, collected to support exposure classification in the MOBI-KIDS epidemiological study. At 25 mm, maximum resultant magnetic flux density at 217 Hz had a geometric mean of 221 nT, and inclusion of harmonics…

This cross-sectional study compared EMF-related health perceptions and symptom attribution among self-identified EMF-sensitive individuals from an internet panel, non-sensitive individuals, and an NGO-recruited IEI-EMF group. The internet-panel sensitive group reported more non-specific symptoms, higher perceived EMF…

This paper reports routine EMOST (Electro-Magnetic-Own-Signal-Treatment) use with low-frequency, low-intensity electromagnetic fields in two children with chronic constipation and persistent diarrhea. The authors state these conditions were eliminated following treatment. The abstract briefly discusses possible…

This field experiment examined short-term (48-hour) exposure to RF EMF from a GSM 900 MHz mobile phone base station on reproductive endpoints in four invertebrate species. The study reports no significant effects of exposure metrics on fecundity or number of offspring, and notes that distance was not a suitable proxy…
