Electromagnetic fields are considered to potentially affect embryonic development, but the mechanism is still unknown. In this study, human embryonic stem cell (hESC) line HUES-17 was applied to explore the mechanism of exposure on embryonic development to pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) for 400 pulses at different electric field intensities and the differentiation of HUES-17 cells was obse...

background: the effects of extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (elf-emf) on toxoplasma gondii have not been explained yet. the aim of this study was to assess the possible effects of elf-emf on growth, survival time and viability of toxoplasma gondii . in addition, the life span of toxoplasma infected animals was investigated. methods: sixty adult male balb/c mice were used for in vi...

Background: This study investigated the effects of extremely low frequency (ELF) pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) radiation on the growth of bacterium Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923) that plays a versatile role in infecting wounded tissues. The viability of these bacteria (number of live cells as colony-forming units (CFUs)) was measured before and after the ELF PEMF exposures to quantify...

introduction: there are general concerns about the hazardous impacts of the cell phones radiation on the human health. in this study, the structural and biochemical changes of the mice kidney were assessed after cell phone exposure in. materials and methods: a total of 40 balb/c mice were randomly divided into the control and experimental groups. the experimental group exposed to cell phone dev...

background: exposure to extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields is increasingly common, but the potential influence on pregnant women has not been thoroughly investigated. methods: in this case-control study, 58 women who had an unexplained spontaneous abortion at < 14 weeks gestation and 58 matched pregnant women >14 weeks gestation were enrolled in 2012. the women completed the questio...

background: men are unavoidably exposed to ambient electromagnetic fields (emf) generated from various electrical gadgets and from power transmission lines. prostate gland plays an important role in secretion of semen as largest accessory gland of male reproductive system. it seems that protection of this gland against emf is important in spermatogenesis process. objective: the goal of this stu...

OBJECTIVE To examine the relative effectiveness of ice therapy and/or pulsed electromagnetic field in reducing pain and swelling after the immobilization period following a distal radius fracture. METHODS A total of 83 subjects were randomly allocated to receive 30 minutes of either ice plus pulsed electromagnetic field (group A); ice plus sham pulsed electromagnetic field (group B); pulsed e...

Mobile phones emit a pulsed high-frequency electromagnetic field (PEMF) which may penetrate the scalp and the skull. Increasingly, there is an interest in the interaction of this pulsed microwave radiation with the human brain. Our investigations show that these electromagnetic fields alter distinct aspects of the brain's electrical response to acoustic stimuli. More precisely, our results demo...

introduction: the use of cell phones is widespread and there are public concerns regarding its possible deleterious effects on human health especially on the pregnancy outcomes. in this study, structural changes of the placenta after applying the cell phone radiation were examined in the mice model.   materials and methods: for this work, 40 pregnant balb/c mice were randomly allocated to one c...
