This study used numerical modeling with a human body model to evaluate how the placement of a single body-worn personal exposimeter affects RF electric-field measurements in the 98–2450 MHz range. Across 256 simulated exposure scenarios, the body substantially altered measured values compared with the unperturbed…

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 animal study exposed developing Sprague Dawley rats to 2.14 GHz W-CDMA RF-EMF at a whole-body SAR of 0.2 W/kg for 9 weeks (20 h/day). No differences were reported in multiple T cell population measures across blood, spleen, and thymus. Some Th1/Th2-related genes were upregulated (notably in thymus), but serum…

This animal organ-preservation study compared 12-hour porcine heart preservation at -3°C using a device generating a variable magnetic field versus conventional 4°C preservation. The subzero variable-magnetic-field condition showed higher myocardial ATP, lower lactate, and less mitochondrial ultrastructural damage…

This animal/model-organism study examined whether weak low-frequency magnetic fields tuned to a proposed parametric resonance for calcium ions affect Ca(2+)-dependent proteolysis. It reports time-dependent modulation of Ca(2+)-dependent proteinase activity in fish and whelk and states that a minimal exposure time for…

This in vitro study tested whether a static magnetic field (SMF) could enhance the effects of cisplatin or adriamycin in Hepa1-6 tumor cells. The abstract reports that SMF combined with either drug increased growth inhibition and was associated with cell-cycle arrest, increased DNA damage, and more severe membrane…

This study evaluated magnetostimulation and magnetoledtherapy for pain reduction after dental implant treatment in three groups of 10 patients each. Pain was recorded using a VAS scale, and analgesic use was also tracked. The abstract reports lower pain scores and reduced analgesic use in the magnetostimulation…

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…

This cross-sectional survey assessed how rural-based advanced midwives in South Africa perceive and use mobile phones for education and professional activities. Among 56 respondents, most reported frequent use of mobile phone functions to support work and learning despite low self-rated technology competence and…

This cross-sectional study surveyed 883 HIV-infected patients on ART in Soweto, South Africa, to identify demographic correlates of using mobile phones as reminder tools. Older age, female gender, and lower education were associated with lower use of phones for clinic appointment reminders. Older age and lower income…

This animal experimental study examined combined exposure to potable mineral water and low-intensity ultrahigh-frequency electromagnetic radiation (~1000 MHz;

This engineering study addresses inter-cell interference in LTE networks as a driver of packet loss between base stations and mobile stations. It examines Soft Frequency Reuse (SFR) and implements a new hybrid frequency reuse method with greater total system bandwidth than SFR while keeping per-cell bandwidth the…
