background: the effects of electromagnetic field (emf) on reproductive system have been of critical concern for a long time. it has been shown that the emf can adversely affect testicular cells and tissue and decrease male fertility. the most important determinants of male fertility are sperm development and motility, which are affected by changes in several factors including lipocalin 2 protei...

The aim of the study was to investigate whether the electromagnetic field (EMF) emitted by digital radiotelephone handsets affects brain physiology. Healthy, young male subjects were exposed for 30 min to EMF (900 MHz; spatial peak specific absorption rate 1 W/kg) during the waking period preceding sleep. Compared with the control condition with sham exposure, spectral power of the EEG in non-r...

Low-frequency (LF) electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are abundantly present in modern society, and the potential biological consequences of exposure to these fields are under intense debate. Immune cells are suggested as possible target cells, though a clear mechanism is lacking. Considering their crucial role in innate immune activation, we selected an ex vivo exposure set-up with human neutrophil...

The main goal of this work is to evaluate the feasibility to calculate the technical debt (a traditional software quality approach) in a model-driven context through the same tools used by software developers at work. The SonarQube tool was used, so that the quality check was performed directly on projects created with Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) instead of traditionals source code project...

The countless increase in towers and mobile phones has increased the amount of non-ionizing radio waves in surroundings during last two decades. Several reports have revealed non-desirable after effects of mobile phone frequency electromagnetic field radiations at cellular level. Thus, the present study was designed to evaluate the effect of cellphone frequency electromagnetic field (EMF) radia...

OBJECTIVE Endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF) is a rare disease and is often an underdiagnosed and forgotten cardiomyopathy. The objective of this study was to document the current frequency of EMF in Sudan by defining and selecting cases from patients attending the echocardiography laboratory. Additionally we aimed to create an EMF registry for Sudan. METHODS The study started in January 2007 and ...

OBJECTIVE New investigations are in progress to find some alternative treatments for diabetes mellitus. Herbs are some of the interesting medications in this regard. Cynodon dactylon (C.d) is a potential plant to be considered as a new medication. On the other hand, the effect of the Electromagnetic Field (EMF) on bio organisms is becoming clearer. In this study, the effect of C.d, EMF and insu...

BACKGROUND The overall evidence for adverse health effects of electromagnetic fields (EMF) at levels of exposure normally experienced by the public is generally considered weak. However, whether long-term health effects arise remains uncertain and scientific policy advice is therefore given against a background of uncertainty. Several theories exist about different roles that experts may take w...

The electromagnetic field (EMF) has an effect on various organs, including the female reproductive system. purpose of this study was to evaluate impact carnosine ovarian follicle number and diameter in rats exposed a 900 Megahertz (Mhz) field. In study, six different groups were used. 40 divided into evaluated. ovaries removed at end study. Routine histological procedures performed tissues. Fol...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the single and combined effects of electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure and the insulin growth factor-I (IGF-I) on proteoglycan (PG) synthesis of bovine articular cartilage explants and chondrocytes cultured in monolayers. DESIGN Bovine articular cartilage explants and chondrocyte monolayers were exposed to EMF (75Hz; 1.5mT) for 24h in the absence and in the presence ...
