BACKGROUND Nickel dermatitis may be caused by frequent and prolonged use of cell phones. Because little is known about the frequency of nickel release from cell phones, it is difficult to estimate the risk of nickel sensitization and dermatitis among their users. OBJECTIVE Inspired by a recent case of nickel dermatitis from prolonged cell phone use, the frequency of dimethylglyoxime (DMG)-pos...

Use of cell phones in the general population has become increasingly commonplace. The distracting effects of cell phones among automobile drivers are well established, and legislation prohibits the use of handheld cell phones while driving in several states. Recent research has focused on the similar distracting effects of cell phones in the pedestrian population. In this report, an older gentl...

Mobile phones work by transmitting and receiving radio frequency microwave radiation. The radio frequency (RF) emitted by mobile phones is stronger than FM radio signal which are known to cause cancer. Though research and evidence available on the risk of cancer by mobile phones does not provide a clear and direct support that mobile phones cause cancers. Evidence does not also support an assoc...

Background: Previous studies have shown that exposure to electromagnetic fields produced by magnetic resonance imaging or mobile phones can lead to increased microleakage of dental amalgam.Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of electromagnetic field of a commercial dental light cure device and a common GSM mobile phone on microleakage of amalgam restorations.Ma...

Brain tumors cause widespread apprehension in society, associated with poor prognosis and death. Laymen most often associate them glioblastoma multiforme which is fact the common malignant primary brain tumor (formerly it was considered tumor, now thought that meningiomas are common). The interest of both public physicians aroused by potential risk factors. only evidence based factor ionizing r...

journal Toxicologic Pathology, are highly valued by other researchers in the field. In 1997, as part of its twentieth-anniversary celebration, the journal recognized a 1984 article by Haseman and coauthors James Huff and Gary Boorman, "Use of Historical Control Data in Carcinogenicity Studies in Rodents," as one of the 10 most frequently cited articles in the journal's n history. Recently, Hase...

<p><strong>Background</strong>:<strong> </strong>The effect of mobile phone radiation on human health is the subject recent interest and study as a result enormous increase in usage throughout world. The present was designed with an objective to phones hearing.</p><p><strong>Methods</strong>: This cross sectional involved cases age group 18 ...

There is considerable controversy surrounding the biological effects of radiofrequency (RF) fields, as emitted by mobile phones. Previous work from our laboratory has shown no effect related to the exposure of 1.9 GHz pulse-modulated RF fields on the expression of 22,000 genes in a human glioblastoma-derived cell-line (U87MG) at 6 h following a 4 h RF field exposure period. As a follow-up to th...

We evaluated the effects of prompting, goal setting, and feedback on following headway of young drivers in a simulated driving environment and assessed whether changes produced in following headway were associated with reductions in hard braking when drivers were and were not using cell phones. Participants were 4 university students. During baseline, drivers spent half of the time talking on c...

BACKGROUND Nowadays, mothers are continuously exposed to different sources of electromagnetic fields before and even during pregnancy.  It has recently been shown that exposure to mobile phone radiation during pregnancy may lead to adverse effects on the brain development in offspring and cause hyperactivity. Researchers have shown that behavioral problems in laboratory animals which have a sim...
