This longitudinal cohort study examined the temporal relationship between somatization and perceived RF-EMF exposure, comparing the attribution hypothesis with the nocebo hypothesis. Using AMIGO questionnaire data from 2011 and 2015, regression analyses suggested the attribution hypothesis more often explained…

This 8-year longitudinal study of thermal power station workers assessed co-exposure to occupational noise and ELF-EMFs in relation to PSA levels. Noise exposure (LAeq) was associated with increased log-PSA in both unadjusted and adjusted models, and the association persisted after adjusting for ELF-EMFs. ELF-EMF…

This longitudinal analysis evaluated cell phone messaging (texts and calls) as a tool for community Ebola syndromic surveillance in Moyamba District, Southern Sierra Leone (Aug–Oct 2014). The authors report that the cell phone alert system captured suspect and confirmed Ebola cases and mortality alerts, with many…

This article describes a mobile phone-based pilot study in egocentric networks of 12 gay men and their peers (44 participants total). Participants completed daily mobile assessments of HIV-transmission and general health behaviors, and phone log data were collected from gay men with Android phones. The paper focuses…

This engineering/optics study examines focusing properties of a radially polarized beam interacting with gold metal cubes arranged along the beam propagation direction. It reports >20d7 electric field enhancement between two cubes separated by bb/10 on the optical axis, linked to a strong longitudinal field and…

This theoretical study uses a nonequilibrium Green function approach to analyze current-induced spin polarization in a two-dimensional heavy-hole system with cubic Rashba spin-orbit coupling under in-plane electric and magnetic fields. The authors report monotonic decreases in longitudinal conductivity with…

This in vitro study analyzed where magnetic stimulation activates pig phrenic nerves when induced electric fields are oriented longitudinally versus transversely to the nerve trunk. Longitudinal-field stimulation localized activation near the negative peak of the spatial derivative of the longitudinal electric field,…

This paper presents a theoretical treatment of nanoparticle retention in quadrupole magnetic field-flow fractionation (QMgFFF) using a helical separation channel. It defines the retention ratio as the ratio of transit times for non-retained versus retained material. Equations are derived for angular and longitudinal…

This prospective multicenter longitudinal trial evaluated arthroscopic thermal radiofrequency capsular shrinkage for chronic ankle instability in adults who failed conservative therapy. The study reports no clinically relevant improvement in mechanical stability, but substantial and statistically significant…

This computational study investigates magnetic linear response properties of achiral and chiral carbon nanotubes using first-principles electronic structure methods. It computes magnetic shielding inside and outside nanotubes due to electronic currents induced by external magnetic fields applied parallel or…
