New insights into bioprotective effectiveness of disaccharides: an FTIR study of human haemoglobin aqueous solutions exposed to static magnetic fields.

RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2012 NEUTRAL MEDIUM

This in vitro FTIR study examined human haemoglobin aqueous solutions exposed to a 200 mT static magnetic field for 3 and 7 hours, with and without the disaccharides sucrose and trehalose. The authors report spectral changes (amide A decrease and reduced CH(3) stretching) in haemoglobin dissolved…

Electric Field Controlled Self-Assembly of Hierarchically Ordered Membranes.

RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2012 NEUTRAL MEDIUM

This in vitro study examined how an externally applied electric field influences the self-assembly of oppositely charged molecules in water into an ordered membrane. The authors report that electric fields changed the kinetics of membrane formation and altered membrane thickness, nanofiber growth…

Low-frequency electromagnetic fields do not alter responses of inflammatory genes and proteins in human monocytes and immune cell lines.

RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2012 REASSURANCE MEDIUM

This in vitro study examined whether low-frequency electromagnetic fields (a complex multiple waveform field and a 50 Hz sine wave) alter inflammatory gene and protein responses in human immune cells. Across time course experiments in THP-1 cells and primary monocytes/macrophages, the authors…

The mobile phone as a tool in improving cancer care in Nigeria.

RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2012 NEUTRAL MEDIUM

This study evaluated mobile phone use as a tool to improve cancer care follow-up and communication in a low-resource Nigerian setting. Among 1176 oncology patients, sustained follow-up at 24 months was reported as much higher in those receiving the phone intervention than in those who did not.…

A robotic assistant for trans-oral surgery: the robotic endo-laryngeal flexible (Robo-ELF) scope.

RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2012 NEUTRAL UNKNOWN

This paper describes an engineering/clinical tool development effort: the Robotic EndoLaryngeal Flexible (Robo-ELF) Scope System for manipulating flexible endoscopes in laryngeal surgery. The system includes multiple degrees of freedom, a passive positioning arm, and a custom joystick controller…

Allergic contact dermatitis caused by a cell phone cover.

RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2012 CONCERN LOW

This case report describes allergic contact dermatitis attributed to a cell phone cover that was advertised as silicone only. Patch testing with the cover material confirmed the diagnosis, and additional patch testing showed reactions to multiple plastics/glues allergens. The authors suggest that…

Peripheral pulsed electromagnetic fields may reduce the placebo effect in migraine patients that do not respond to the sham intervention in a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, cross-over clinical trial.

RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2012 NEUTRAL MEDIUM

This randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, cross-over trial evaluated a wrist-applied PEMF bracelet in 18 migraine patients and examined possible modulation of placebo effects. In the overall group, both PEMF and placebo were associated with similar reductions in migraine frequency and…

Long-term digital mobile phone use and cognitive decline in the elderly.

RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2012 REASSURANCE MEDIUM

This 4-year cohort study in 871 non-demented older Chinese adults examined frequent digital mobile phone use and changes in cognitive performance. The authors report no significant harmful association between phone use and cognitive functioning. They note users tended to have characteristics…

Application of an induced field sensor for assessment of electromagnetic exposure from compact fluorescent lamps.

RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2012 NEUTRAL MEDIUM

This study investigates instrumentation and procedures to assess electromagnetic exposure from compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) by measuring both incident and induced fields in the 10 kHz–1 MHz range. For some CFLs, incident electric fields exceeded ICNIRP reference levels at close distances, but…

Influence of magnetic field on aqueous two-phase extraction of horse ferritin in the polyethylene glycol/hydroxyethyl starch system.

RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2012 NEUTRAL MEDIUM

This study reports an aqueous two-phase extraction method for equine spleen ferritin using polyethylene glycol (PEG) and hydroxyethyl starch (HES). Ferritin partitioning depended on PEG/HES concentrations and PEG molecular weight, and applying a magnetic field increased ferritin accumulation in…

Effects of radiofrequency radiation exposure on blood-brain barrier permeability in male and female rats

RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2011 CONCERN MEDIUM

This rat study tested whether acute exposure to 0.9 and 1.8 GHz continuous-wave radiofrequency radiation alters blood-brain barrier permeability. Using Evans-blue/albumin as a tracer, the authors report no BBB leakage in exposed female rats but a significant increase in albumin in exposed male rat…
