Across eligible observational MRI studies, excessive smartphone users had smaller brain volumes than controls (g = −0.55, p < 0.001), particularly in subcortical regions, with a more pronounced effect in adolescents than adults. Regression analysis showed a p…
Exposure to a 50 Hz high-voltage EMF (5.4 kV/m) for 2 or 4 h/day over 25 days was associated with decreased RBC, Hb, and catalase activity, and increased WBC, AST, ALT, total bilirubin, urea, creatinine, uric acid, and MDA in albino rats; liver histopathology…
The article states that epidemiological studies have reported a causal association between RF-EMF exposure from mobile phones and brain neoplasm incidence, with emphasis on statistically significant ipsilateral tumors. It describes higher risk with higher exp…
The study reports a significant increase in NSE and MDA levels in rats exposed to mobile phone RFEMR.
In both parotid and submandibular glands, mean volume, mean systolic velocity, and mean unstimulated salivary flow rate were higher on the dominant (phone-use) side than the non-dominant side. The authors report these differences as significant and conclude p…
In behavioural experiments, broadband 75–85 MHz radiofrequency fields prevented a night-migratory songbird from using its light-dependent magnetic compass orientation. The authors interpret the disruption as consistent with a flavin–tryptophan radical pair me…
Rats exposed to 3G mobile phone RF-EMR for 20 weeks showed altered hippocampal proteome, with 16 of 358 identified proteins reported as deregulated (log2 exposed/sham ≥ ±1.0, p<.05). Western blot validation in an independent sample set corroborated mass spect…
In a comparison between controls (n=15) and workers grouped by magnetic field exposure (0.1–0.3 µT, n=5; >0.3 µT, n=9), the authors report a significant effect of field intensity on the cortisol secretory pattern. The study reports a decline in peak-time seru…
Recent reports indicate the iPhone 12 series and accessories can cause magnetic interference with CIEDs. In vivo and ex vivo experiments suggest current-generation smartphones, smartwatches, wireless headphones, and accessories can cause CIEDs to revert into …
In bench testing of 12 cardiac implantable devices, the magnets inside iPhone 12 triggered magnetic mode up to a distance of 1 cm. The authors conclude that a 15 cm separation distance (per Apple guidance) is compatible with their results and manufacturer ind…
In a single-blind, sham-controlled, randomized crossover study, 25 min exposure to RF-EMFs from two mobile phone types increased overall caloric intake by 22–27% versus sham, mainly due to higher carbohydrate intake. Cerebral energy content measures (ATP and …
This systematic review/meta-analysis included 33 eligible studies (30 in meta-analysis) and reported a pooled odds ratio of 1.30 (95% CI 1.21–1.39) for headache associated with mobile phone use, with significant heterogeneity. Subgroup analyses reported eleva…
Animals exposed to an extremely low-frequency magnetic field (500 μT, 50 Hz) showed increased lipid peroxidation and decreased antioxidant response (MDA/GSH). Raman spectroscopy indicated peak shifts and structural/quantitative chemical changes in brain and l…
This note discusses reports of unilateral corneal opacity occurring after Northern Bald Ibises were equipped with solar radio transmitters. It summarizes that the original researchers considered several device-related explanations and concluded the most parsi…
In vitro, the 5-HT1A receptor promoter containing the rs198585630 C allele showed higher transcriptional activity than the T allele, and 30 mW/cm^2 microwave exposure stimulated promoter activity with stronger activation for the C allele. In vivo, rats carryi…
Gamma-H2AX expression over time differed across the three exposure groups (Wi-Fi only, 99mTc only, and simultaneous Wi-Fi + 99mTc). The number of gamma-H2AX foci differed significantly between groups after 72 h, and the authors conclude that simultaneous Wi-F…
In an EMG-based assessment of a patient reporting electrosensitivity, the author reports a dominant artificial 10 Hz component described as similar to WLAN emitters. The abstract states that other patients tested who used this communication technology showed …
Balb/c-3T3 cells exposed to 1800 MHz RF-EMR (continuous wave) for 40 or 60 days (4 h/day) showed increased proliferation and migration, and malignant transformation indicated by visible foci and clone formation. Exposed cells produced visible tumors when tran…
A worker developed symptoms described as EHS after moving to an office with measured RF and ELF fields, and most symptoms reportedly improved after 2 weeks away from the workplace. The authors state that workplace EMF exposure could be the cause, citing proxi…
This review summarizes in vitro and in vivo studies reporting that exposure to non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation is associated with harmful effects on multiple female reproductive endpoints in animal models, including effects on oocytes, ovarian follicle…
