Jan 1, 2025
This six-year time series analysis used over 500,000 blood pressure measurements from two mid-magnetic latitude cities in China to examine associations with geomagnetic activity (Ap index). The study reports that blood pressure fluctuations correlate with geomagnetic activity and share similar periodic patterns,…

Jan 1, 2022
This randomized blinded crossover provocation study compared short-term RF-EMF exposure mimicking mobile phone base stations versus sham in people with IEI-EMF and controls. Symptom reporting and physiological measures (blood pressure, heart rate, heart rate variability) were similar between provocation and sham…

In a worker sample undergoing 24-hour ECG and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, higher self-reported daily mobile phone use (>60 minutes) was associated with higher systolic blood pressure in office measurement and at night. Higher occupational stress was associated with higher systolic and diastolic blood…

Jan 1, 2015
This study enrolled 70 patients with primary hyperthyroidism and 74 healthy volunteers and assessed carotid artery structure and function using ultrasound RF data parameters before and after 131I therapy. Hyperthyroid patients showed worse carotid IMT and stiffness-related measures than controls at baseline. After…
