Mercury release from dental amalgam restorations after magnetic resonance imaging and following mobile phone use S M J Mortazavi 1, E Daiee, A Yazdi, K Khiabani, A Kavousi, R Vazirinejad, B Behnejad, M Ghasemi, M Balali Mood Affiliations…

This in vitro study examined how electromagnetic field (EMF) coupling parameters and field direction interact with 2D versus 3D culture environments to influence adipose-derived stem cell (ADSC) proliferation and osteogenic/chondrogenic differentiation. The abstract reports different “optimal” magnetic flux densities…

This case study measured magnetic flux density and RF-EMF on electric buses on two routes in Samsun, Turkey, across different driving conditions and times of day. It reports route- and condition-dependent variability in magnetic fields, with braking associated with higher readings on one route, and lower overall…

This in vitro study examined how low-frequency electromagnetic fields (LF-EMF) at different magnetic flux densities influence skeletal myogenesis in C2C12 cells. The authors report that 2.0 mT LF-EMF activated cells and increased PAX7, while 1.5 mT increased MyoD and myogenin expression. They conclude that different…

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 conference paper describes the design and simulation of coil geometries intended to produce a highly uniform magnetic field for scleral search coil eye-movement recordings without restricting head motion. The authors built a large (2.2 m per side) coil frame and compared measured magnetic flux density to…

This cross-sectional study measured ELF magnetic flux density in a petrochemical complex substation environment and assessed workers' sleep quality (PSQI) and general health (GHQ). It reports significant differences between case and control groups, with more sleep disorder and poorer health status in the case group.…

This paper reports extremely low frequency (ELF) magnetic flux density measurements from 47 GSM mobile phones, collected to support exposure classification in the MOBI-KIDS epidemiological study. At 25 mm, maximum resultant magnetic flux density at 217 Hz had a geometric mean of 221 nT, and inclusion of harmonics…

This study compared two non-invasive acupoint stimulation methods—TEAS and PEMF—as alternatives to manual acupuncture for recovery from exercise-induced muscle fatigue. Using 2 Hz stimulation (PEMF magnetic flux 30.92 mT), the authors report faster recovery of EMG median frequency and improved peak torque recovery in…

This case-control study measured electric field intensity and magnetic flux density in high voltage substations and estimated workers' ELF-EMF exposure over a shift. Sleep quality was assessed using the PSQI in 67 exposed workers and 110 controls. The study reports no statistically significant difference in overall…

This study examines how spatial inhomogeneity affects a two-dimensional noncentrosymmetric superconductor in an in-plane magnetic field, motivated by LaAlO3-SrTiO3 interfaces. The authors report that spatial variation of Rashba spin-orbit coupling can generate local magnetic flux patterns through a field-induced…

This engineering study addresses interference between induction-heating cookers and an externally coupled transcutaneous energy transmission system for a totally implantable artificial heart. The authors report that magnetic flux from an IH cooker can couple into the TET transformer and affect system performance. A…
