This paper describes an on-line ELF magnetic stimulation setup and evaluates coil field distribution using COMSOL simulations alongside physical measurements. The authors report that modeled and measured magnetic flux densities were similar, and that stimulation induced sodium channel currents and fEPSPs in rat…

This study developed a mathematical and computer simulation model to analyze RF-EMF exposure in a human head phantom, motivated by potential therapeutic applications. The modeled exposure used a Yagi-Uda antenna at 64 MHz with SAR 0.6 W/kg and compared field distribution using one versus four antennas. COMSOL Bioheat…

This in vitro study tested whether an extremely low-frequency EMF (100 Hz, 100 G) could enhance temozolomide cytotoxicity in human glioma cell lines (U87 and T98G). The authors report that combined EMF and temozolomide increased apoptosis relative to either treatment alone and was accompanied by changes in…

This study reports a technology that records a specific radiofrequency electromagnetic energy signal associated with EGFR siRNA and applies it to cells. The abstract describes reductions in EGFR mRNA and protein expression versus controls, with specificity assessed using RNA microarray and antibody dot blot array. It…

This paper describes an engineering approach to avoid RF/microwave radiation in wearable EEG data transmission by using visible light communication. The system performance was tested at different illuminance levels and an algorithm for low-illuminance operation was proposed. The authors report error-free transmission…

This animal experimental study reports that low-intensity ultrahigh-frequency electromagnetic radiation and a low-intensity low-frequency magnetic field, applied after radiation exposure, enhanced metabolic and regenerative processes in rat testes and liver. The magnetic field was associated with increased…

This in vitro study describes a method to improve DNA ligation by immobilizing T4 DNA ligase on ferromagnetic particles and applying a radio frequency alternating magnetic field. The field causes the particles to dissipate heat, which the authors report selectively heats and activates the ligase while minimally…

This retrospective cohort study reviewed medical records from a Swedish tertiary pain centre to assess 1-month outcomes after pulsed radiofrequency for chronic non-cancer pain. Among patients receiving lumbar median branch pulsed radiofrequency, a minority had major or minor improvement, while many had no change and…

This materials study examines how a high magnetic field affects crystallization during isothermal annealing of [(FeCo)BSi]Nb4 bulk metallic glass. The authors report that the field promotes α-(Fe,Co) precipitation and suppresses boride formation, yielding a nanocomposite microstructure with α-(Fe,Co) dispersed in an…

This review-style article discusses gerontechnologies—mobile applications on smartphones/tablets and remote monitoring systems—for outpatient symptom monitoring and self-care management in older adults with heart failure. It frames these tools as potentially cost-effective and accessible when designed for older…

This pilot randomized study evaluated systemic extremely low-frequency magnetic field (ELF-MF) therapy versus sham in 37 women with fibromyalgia using a crossover sequence. The abstract reports significant short-term reductions in pain and improvements in fibromyalgia-related symptom and function questionnaires…

This conference paper describes an automated method for ABO and Rh-D blood typing using images captured by low-cost mobile phones of a fabric strip rapid diagnostic test. The approach applies morphological image processing steps including noise reduction, range filtering, and empirically derived heuristics to…

This engineering-focused conference paper characterizes thrombus stiffening after radio frequency (rf) electric current treatment in the context of intra-arterial mechanical thrombectomy. The abstract reports thrombus stiffness increased by more than eightfold after rf treatment, attributed to increased crosslinking.…

This conference paper reports an engineering approach to convert wireless microwave power into near-infrared light using a miniaturized, wirelessly powered laser. The device is described as millimeter-scale and capable of being powered through >1 cm of tissue. The abstract focuses on enabling in vivo activation of…

This review assessed surgical and procedural case logbook smartphone applications available in major app stores. Of 2,740 apps screened, 16 were relevant and 11 were suitable for critical review, with reported variation in app size and cost. The authors conclude that current mobile apps can efficiently replace…

This engineering study demonstrates magnetophoretic track designs that transport single magnetized beads and magnetically labeled single cells in a 3D time-varying magnetic field. A vertical field bias is reported to reduce particle clustering but necessitates redesigned track geometries with alternating curvature.…

This engineering paper presents an experimentally validated wearable personal exposimeter system for RF-EMF exposure monitoring, motivated by increasing wireless applications. It uses a distributed measurement approach and integrates inertial sensors to capture activity and posture during measurements. The system is…

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 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…
