This ex vivo study tested whether different magnetic-field modalities change transdermal delivery of naproxen through pigskin. Rotating magnetic fields (RMF) at 50 Hz produced the greatest increase in permeation metrics versus a no-EMF control, while negatively polarized static fields reduced permeation.…

This in vitro study exposed porcine endometrial slices from the peri-implantation period (days 15–16 of pregnancy) to 50 Hz ELF-EMF for 2 hours and assessed promoter DNA methylation in selected genes. The authors report increased methylation for EGR2, ID2, and PTGER4, decreased methylation for IL1RAP and NOS3, and no…

This animal study examined whether RF-EMF from cellular phones affects electrocardiograms in guinea pigs. Thirty guinea pigs were randomized to control (no exposure) or RF-EMF exposure (890–915 MHz; SAR 0.95 W/kg) for 12 hours per day over 30 days. The study reports no significant effects on ECG findings under these…

This animal study exposed 36 adult male guinea pigs to extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields at 5 Hz or 50 Hz and compared testosterone and testes tissue outcomes with sham/control conditions. After 5 days, the authors report a significant decrease in testosterone in exposed groups versus controls. They also…

Jan 1, 2007
This animal study evaluated two multiprobe radiofrequency ablation device approaches in pigs, including an impedance-based algorithm and clustered/combination probes with and without a switcher controller. The Pringle maneuver was associated with larger ablation volumes and shorter ablation times in one experiment,…
