there have been much speculation and debate concerning the effect of electromagnetic fields (emf) on body systems. various reports have implicated excessive exposure to emf to certain forms of leukemia. it has also been reported that emf may cause alteration in the levels of certain macro- and micro-nutrients such as copper, zinc, selenium, calcium and iron. we have undertaken this study to det...

background: in psychological studies, exposure to electromagnetic field is one of the hazardous factors, which has adverse effects on mental health. exposure to electromagnetic field due to daily use of electricity makes this study so important. the goal of this study was to determine the relationship between psychological symptoms and occupational exposure to electromagnetic field among worker...

introduction: depending on mode, intensity and length of application, and stage of development, the low-frequency electromagnetic fields (lfes) can induce a wide variety of biological effects in organisms. the chick limb bud is a powerful experimental system for study pattern formation in vertebrate embryo. the aim of this study was to examine the effects of an application lfes (50hz, 50g) on c...

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...

for many years it was believed that extremely lowfrequency electromagnetic field (elf-emf) do not have any significant biological effects. in this study, the influence of extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields on the growth performance, serum antioxidant power and gastrointestinal structure of rainbow trout were evaluated. rainbow trout (17-18 g) were exposed to electromagnetic fields (...

introduction measuring magnetic induction phase shift (mips) changes as a function of cerebral hemorrhage volume has the potential for being a simple method for primary and non-contact detection of the occurrence and progress of cerebral hemorrhage. our previous mips study showed that the intracranial pressure (icp) was used as a contrast index and found the primary correlation between mips and...

background: in previous investigations, it has been clarified that electromagnetic fields (elf) can cause some changes in cellular behavior. the aim of this prospective study was to investigate the effect of magnetic field (mf) on human sperm parameters of motility, morphology, and viability. materials and methods: semen samples were collected from 12 fertile men, and were allowed to liquefy fo...
