Interest in the study of Halicystis and of Valonia has been stimulated by discoveries of marked contrasts and striking similarities existing side by side. This is illustrated by new experiments with the alkali metals and alkaline earths. In Halicystis the apparent mobilities of K(+), Rb(+), Cs(+), and Li(+) (calculated by means of Henderson's equation from changes in P.D. produced by replacing ...

In their influence on the P.D. across the protoplasm of Valonia macrophysa, Kütz., Li(+) and Cs(+) resemble Na(+), while Rb(+) and NH(4) (+) resemble K(+). The apparent mobilities of the ions in the external surface layer of Valonia protoplasm increase in the order: Cs(+), Na(+), Li(+) < Cl(-) < Rb(+) < K(+) < NH(4) (+).

A pendant was claimed to provide numerous health benefits, including reduced stress, increased strength, and protection from electromagnetic radiation from computers and mobile phones. Three experiments tested the effectiveness of this pendant's effect as a bioelectric shield. In the first experiment, 12 subjects who work with computers wore shields (6 real, 6 sham) for several weeks and were r...

Weak electric currents generated using conductive electrodes have been shown to increase the efficacy of antibiotics against bacterial biofilms, a phenomenon termed "the bioelectric effect." The purposes of the present study were (i) to find out whether insulated electrodes that generate electric fields without "ohmic" electric currents, and thus are not associated with the formation of metal i...

Electric potentials generated by mechanical strain of bones (SGPS: strain generated potentials) are one of the cofactors, which determine the adaptive remodelling processes in bone tissue [1,12,14]. The significance of the potentials SGPs in bone tissue biodynamics results from the electrosensivity of bone cells membranes via the Ca voltage-gated channels [7], Fig.1a. Bioelectric signals are al...

The paper aimed to explore the ability of bioelectric technology combined with acupoint stimulation on collagen concentration and prognosis invalid. Between June 2020 2021, study recruited 400 patients who underwent stress urinary incontinence in urology reconstructive pelvic surgery. They were divided into experimental group (bioelectric stimulation, n=200) control (simple according odd-even m...

Externally powered prostheses have been studied for many years, in efforts to provide more effective rehabilitation of amputees. In order to take advantage of the benefits offered by external poser in prostheses, however, the mode of control of the prosthesis by tWe amputee must also be improved. Conventional control methods require a high degree of mental concentration by the amputee on his pr...
