Electromagnetic Biology and Medicine
Papers posted online June 19, 2013
I added a sentence (or two)
to summarize the key conclusions of each study based upon the abstracts
as I don't have access to the papers.
Many of these papers explore potential therapeutic applications of
electromagnetic radiation.

Evidence that dirty electricity is causing the worldwide
epidemics of obesity and diabetes Diesel
generator sets are a major source of dirty electricity. They are used to
electrify small islands and places unreachable by the conventional electric
grid. This accounts for the fact that diabetes prevalence, fasting plasma
glucose and obesity are highest on small islands and other places and lowest in
places with low levels of electrification.
Health effects of living near mobile phone base transceiver
station (BTS) antennae: a report from Isfahan, Iran Most of the symptoms such as nausea, headache,
dizziness, irritability, discomfort, nervousness, depression, sleep
disturbance, memory loss and lowering of libido were statistically significant

Long-term exposure to a pulsed magnetic field (1.5 mT,
25 Hz) increases genomic DNA spontaneous degradation Long-term exposure to a pulsed MF induces an
increment in the DNA spontaneous degradation of yeast genomic DNA.
Reactive oxygen species elevation and recovery in Drosophila
bodies and ovaries following short-term and long-term exposure to DECT base EMF
The pulsed idle state of the DECT radiation induced free radical formation
despite very low SAR, leading to accumulation of reactive oxygen species under
continuous exposure, and in a recovery manner after interruption of radiation,
possibly due to activation of the antioxidant machinery of the organism.
Assessing of plasma protein denaturation induced by exposure
to cadmium, electromagnetic fields and their combined actions on rat Combined exposure to cadmium and EMFs might
increase the risk of plasma damage via enhancing free radical generation and
protein oxidation.
Assessment of oxidant/antioxidant status in saliva of cell
phone users No relationship between
exposure to radio frequency radiation and changes in the salivary
oxidant/antioxidant profile were found.
Effect of long-term 50 Hz magnetic field exposure on the
micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes of mice Administration of antioxidant substances
with radioprotective capacities known to act through the elimination of free
radicals did not diminish the genotoxic effect induced by ELM-MF.
Influence of pulsed electromagnetic and pulsed vector
magnetic potential field on the growth of tumor cells A pulsed EMF of 125 and 625 Hz for
24-48 hours increased proliferation activity in 2 types of cancer cell lines.
In contrast, no method created a significant inhibitory effect of hypothetic
pulsed vector magnetic potential field on tumor cells.
Comparison of the outcomes of repetitive transcranial
magnetic stimulation (RTMS) to the ipsilateral and contralateral auditory
cortex in unilateral tinnitus Daily
treatment with 1 Hz rTMS ipsilaterally and contralaterally to the side of
tinnitus both had significant beneficial effects. The laterality of stimulation
does not matter.
Variable spatial magnetic field influences peripheral nerve
regeneration in rats Strong spatial
alternating magnetic field exerts positive effect on peripheral nerve
regeneration. This application could be
developed for therapy of injured peripheral nerves.
The influence of spatial pulsed magnetic field application
on neuropathic pain after tibial nerve transection in rat Extremely
low-frequency magnetic fields may be useful in neuropathic pain therapy.
A static magnetic field attenuates
lipopolysaccharide-induced neuro-inflammatory response via IL-6-mediated
pathway A static magnetic field had positive effects on survival rate and
histological outcomes of LPS-treated mice and decreased IL-6 expression in BV-2
cells by a phenomenon similar to endotoxin tolerance. SMF has potential for
controlling LPS-induced excess neuro-inflammatory response.
Natural static magnetic field-induced apoptosis in liver
cancer cell Different cell types
require different factors like rotary frequency and treatment time to induce
apoptosis.
EMOST: elimination of chronic constipation and diarrhea by
low-frequency and intensity electromagnetic fields Reports on effectiveness of
the EMOST (Electro-Magnetic-Own-Signal-Treatment) for chronic constipation and
diarrhea in two cases.
The effects of pulsed magnetic field exposure on the
permeability of leukemia cancer cells
Pulsed magnetic field can increase permeability. The system gives
optimal permeabilization when cells are exposed to 28 pulses with 1 Hz
frequency.
Long-term effects of 900 MHz radiofrequency radiation
emitted from mobile phone on testicular tissue and epididymal semen
quality Long-term exposure of 900 MHz
GSM RF radiation altered some reproductive parameters; however, the results
were inconsistent and more research is needed.
Extremely low-frequency magnetic fields can impair
spermatogenesis recovery after reversible testicular damage induced by
heat Extremely low-frequency magnetic
field may be harmful to fertility recovery in males affected by reversible
testicular damage.
Investigating short-term exposure to electromagnetic fields
on reproductive capacity of invertebrates in the field situation No impact on reproductive capacity was
observed.
Reduction of laser-induced retinal injury applying the
combination of the 3D variable electric and magnetic fields in “vivo” Eye retina damaged by YAG laser radiation can
be rehabilitated via Oscillating Low Frequency Electro-Magnetic Fields.
Effect of insulating layer material on RF-induced heating
for external fixation system in 1.5 T MRI system
