Microcirculatory effects of pulsed electromagnetic fields

Microcirculatory effects of pulsed electromagnetic fields.

PURPOSE Pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) are used clinically to expedite healing of fracture non-unions, however, the mechanism of action by which PEMF stimulation is effective is unknown. The current study examined the acute effects of PEMF stimulation on arteriolar microvessel diameters in the rat cremaster muscle. The study hypothesis was that PEMF would increase arteriolar diameters, a ...

The effects of electromagnetic fields on fish

The objective of this paper is to survey the results of studies on the biological effects of electromagnetic fields on fish. First, the basic concepts of electromagnetism and electromagnetic spectrum and the importance of studying it in the case of fish are discussed. Then a summary of the results obtained on the effects of extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMFs) and radiofreq...

Pulsed Beam Expansion of Electromagnetic Aperture Fields

The present contribution is concerned with an exact frame-based pulsed-beams expansion of planar aperture timedependent electromagnetic fields. The propagating field is described as a discrete superposition of tilted, shifted and delayed electromagnetic pulsed-beam waveobjects over the frame spectral lattice. Explicit asymptotic expressions for the electromagnetic pulsed-beam propagators are ob...

Pain Management with Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields

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 aspirin-induc...
