Background: People who use home blood glucose monitors may use their mobile phones in the close vicinity of medical devices. This study is aimed at investigating the effect of the signal strength of 900 MHz GSM mobile phones on the accuracy of home blood glucose monitors.Methods: Sixty non-diabetic volunteer individuals aged 21 - 28 years participated in this study. Blood samples were analyzed ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the morphological changes induced by mobile phone radiation in the testis of Wistar albino rats. STUDY DESIGN Cohort study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Department of Physiology, College of Medicine, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from April 2007 to June 2008. METHODOLOGY Forty male Wistar albino rats were divided in three groups. First group of eight se...

OBJECTIVES Scientific interest in potential mobile phone impact on human brain and performance has significantly increased in recent years. The present study was designed to evaluate the effects of mobile phone radiation on seizure threshold in mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS BALB/c male mice were randomly divided into three groups: control, acute, and chronic mobile phone radiation for 30, 60, a...

Some concern has arisen about adverse health effects of cell phones, especially the possibility that the low power microwave-frequency signal transmitted by the antennas on handsets might cause brain tumors or accelerate the growth of subclinical tumors. We analyzed data from the Statistical Report: Primary Brain Tumors in the United States, 2000–2004 and 2007 cell phone subscription data from ...

Recent studies have shown that exposing human semen samples to cell phone radiation leads to a significant decline in sperm parameters. In daily living, a cell phone is usually kept in proximity to the groin, such as in a trouser pocket, separated from the testes by multiple layers of tissue. The aim of this study was to calculate the distance between cell phone and semen sample to set up an in...

Despite the widespread use of mobail phones in Iranian students, psychological and behavioral effects of addiction to it and its consequences have not been investigated yet. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between cell phone dependency with psychological disorders and academic burnout among nursing and midwifery students. In this study, 169 students were chosen through s...

background , despite numerous studies over a decade, it still remains controversial about the biological effects of rf emf emitted by mobile phone telephony. objective , here we investigated the effect of 900 mhz gsm on the induction of oxidative stress and the level of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ros) in human mononuclear cells, monocytes and lymphocytes as defence system cells. met...

introduction : the fast-growing telecommunication and wireless technologies has led to more dependence to these communication devices and higher levels of exposure to electromagnetic radiations propagated by cellular devices and their service towers. to disable signaling in places where silence is valued or where information quarantine measures are required, mobile phone jammers emit radiofrequ...

Several studies have demonstrated detrimental effects of cellular phone radiation on in-vitro biological systems. This article introduces a novel in-vitro method for demonstrating conformational changes in human DNA induced by a 5 minute exposure to cellular phone radiation emitted by an actual contemporary cellular phone. Dynamic changes in DNA conformation was determined in real-time by measu...
