Static magnetic fields, blood and genes: an intriguing relationship

DNA Repair and Telomeres — An Intriguing Relationship

Body position and oxygenation: An intriguing relationship.

Dyspnea and hypoxemia are among the most common symptoms and signs that need to be assessed in clinical practice. This case illustrates how simple steps in history taking and physical examination can be crucial for diagnosis. We present a patient with intermittent hypoxemia, initially attributed to a pulmonary infection. However, the hypoxemia persisted even after successful treatment of the in...

MRI and Static Electric and Magnetic Fields

Stable Magnetic Fields in Static Stars

We prove that static fluid stars can stably support magnetic fields (within the ideal MHD approximation).

Safety of strong, static magnetic fields.

Issues associated with the exposure of patients to strong, static magnetic fields during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are reviewed and discussed. The history of human exposure to magnetic fields is reviewed, and the contradictory nature of the literature regarding effects on human health is described. In the absence of ferromagnetic foreign bodies, there is no replicated scientific study sh...
