Electrochemotherapy by pulsed electromagnetic field treatment (PEMF) in mouse melanoma B16F10 in vivo

INTRODUCTION Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) induces pulsed electric field, which presumably increases membrane permeabilization of the exposed cells, similar to the conventional electroporation. Thus, contactless PEMF could represent a promising approach for drug delivery. MATERIALS AND METHODS Noninvasive electroporation was performed by magnetic field pulse generator connected to an ap...

Pain Management with Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (pemf) Treatment

The issue of pain treatment is an extremely urgent health and socio-economic problem. Pain, in acute, recurrent and chronic forms, is prevalent across age, cultural background, and sex, and costs North American adults an estimated $10,000 to $15,000 per person annually. Estimates of the cost of pain do not include the nearly 30,000 people that die in North America each year due to non-steroidal...

Benefits of Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field (“PEMF”) Therapy

Effective treatment of multiple unresectable skin melanoma metastases by electrochemotherapy.

Multiple unresectable melanoma skin metastases pose a treatment problem, especially in centers where isolated limb perfusion is not available. We report the case of a 59-year-old woman who developed multiple small unresectable cutaneous melanoma metastases on the thigh after her lower limb was amputated. Electrochemotherapy with bleomycin resulted in good local control of the disease, with a co...

The use of pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) in osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee preliminary report.

Magnets are widely used by arthritic patients for symptom control. Clinical benefits have been reported from the intermittent application 01 pulsed electromagnetic fields to osteoarthritic joi nts.’ However. puhl shed trials have used complex electromagnetic fields generated b eumhersomeexpensiveequipment. limiting true portability and widespread use.
