This critical review summarizes human research on static magnetic field (SMF) therapy delivered by permanent magnets attached to the skin and evaluates how well studies report SMF dosage and treatment parameters. Across 56 included studies, many did not report essential SMF characteristics (e.g., magnet dimensions,…

This review describes proposed mechanical causes of drug-eluting stent thrombosis and notes that many are identifiable by greyscale intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). It highlights that evidence linking specific IVUS findings to stent thrombosis remains uncertain because relatively few stent thrombosis cases have been…

This narrative review summarizes recent advances (as of Spring 2007) in Internet- and cell phone-based HIV prevention and intervention research. The authors report that few evaluation studies had been published in the prior year, though many programs were funded and under development. Available results are described…

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 Physical Review Letters paper reports a method to reverse electric polarization in multiferroic TbMnO3 using a rotating magnetic-field direction, without applying an electric field or heat. The authors state that the direction of magnetic-field-induced polarization along the a axis is retained as a memory even…

This Physical Review Letters study investigates phase competition between spin- and orbital-ordered states in a DyVO3 single crystal. The abstract reports reentrant temperature-driven transitions in spin ordering and orbital ordering. It also reports that an applied magnetic field can switch between orbital-ordered…
