This engineering study uses a 3D electromagnetic solver to simulate in-to-out body RF path loss for a wireless capsule endoscopy link. The capsule antenna is tuned for the 402 MHz MICS band while accounting for human body properties. The authors examine how capsule misalignment, rotation, and the…

This computational study used finite element modeling to estimate the electric field distribution in the brain during tDCS for two electrode montages targeting the left DLPFC. It systematically varied isotropic tissue conductivity profiles to assess sensitivity of predicted E-field magnitude and…

This engineering-focused study examined how inter-electrode distance in transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation (tsDCS) affects electric field distribution in the lumbar and sacral spinal cord. Peak E-field magnitudes occurred in the lumbo-sacral region for all configurations. Larger…

This engineering-focused conference paper characterizes thrombus stiffening after radio frequency (rf) electric current treatment in the context of intra-arterial mechanical thrombectomy. The abstract reports thrombus stiffness increased by more than eightfold after rf treatment, attributed to…

This conference paper reports an engineering approach to convert wireless microwave power into near-infrared light using a miniaturized, wirelessly powered laser. The device is described as millimeter-scale and capable of being powered through >1 cm of tissue. The abstract focuses on enabling in…

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…

This engineering conference paper describes a method for controlling the locomotion of swallowable wireless capsule endoscopy devices using a dynamic magnetic field generated by external coils. A permanent magnet embedded in the capsule is manipulated by adjusting external field strengths to…

This in vitro study examined whether exposing Blemaren water solutions (pH 6.15) to a 2 Hz alternating magnetic field for one hour changes their ability to dissolve uroliths. The authors report higher dissolution efficiency (about 1.922d7) in pre-exposed solutions compared with non-exposed…

This in vitro study exposed rat calvarial osteoblasts to 50 Hz, 0.6 mT pulsed electromagnetic fields for 1.5 hours and measured early differentiation-related markers over 0–12 hours. The abstract reports increased ALP activity at 3 hours and time-dependent changes in ALP, Runx2, and OSX…

This randomized animal experiment exposed 32 young female rats to 1.8 mT sinusoidal alternating electromagnetic fields at 10, 25, or 40 Hz for 90 minutes per day. The 10 Hz and 40 Hz groups had higher BMD and improved femur and lumbar vertebra biomechanical properties compared with controls, and…

This review assessed surgical and procedural case logbook smartphone applications available in major app stores. Of 2,740 apps screened, 16 were relevant and 11 were suitable for critical review, with reported variation in app size and cost. The authors conclude that current mobile apps can…

This single-institution cohort analysis compared radiofrequency microtenotomy with plantar fasciotomy for recalcitrant plantar fasciitis, including a group receiving both procedures. Patient-reported outcomes (SF-36, AOFAS) and satisfaction/expectations were reportedly similar across procedures at…

This exposure assessment study measured personal and bedroom extremely low-frequency magnetic field (ELF-MF) exposures in 172 children (5–13 years) in Switzerland and Italy. Geometric mean exposures were low on average (0.04 μT personal; 0.05 μT bedroom), but were higher among children living…

This engineering study demonstrates magnetophoretic track designs that transport single magnetized beads and magnetically labeled single cells in a 3D time-varying magnetic field. A vertical field bias is reported to reduce particle clustering but necessitates redesigned track geometries with…

This study reports experimental measurements and numerical modeling of electric and magnetic fields near a high voltage substation in Annaba, Algeria. Field intensities were measured at multiple heights intended to correspond to sensitive human body regions and were validated using finite element…

This laboratory/analytical study examined how sample matrix affects sample sweeping in micellar electrokinetic chromatography under an inhomogeneous electric field. It reports strong focusing for hydrophobic cationic analytes when the sample matrix conductivity is much higher than the BGE, even…

This engineering study evaluates how anatomical/geometric differences affect MRI RF safety metrics. Simulations and a bovine-phantom experiment found that similar transmit B-field patterns can coincide with notably different peak SAR and temperature rise. The authors highlight challenges in using…
