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...

background: this study is the first research investigating the possible effect of pulsed power signals on the characteristics of cortical bone by comparing the mechanical properties of this type of bone pre and post expose to pulsed power. methods: a positive buck-boost converter was applied to generate adjustable high voltage, high frequency pulses (up to 500 v and 10 khz). the functional beha...

INTRODUCTION Environmental exposure to man-made electromagnetic fields has been steadily increasing with the growing demand for electronic items that are operational at various frequencies. Testicular function is particularly susceptible to radiation emitted by electromagnetic fields. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to examine the therapeutic effects of a pulsed electromagnetic field (100 Hz) on ...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of different frequencies of pulsed electromagnetic fields on the osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells. Third-generation human mesenchymal stem cells were irradiated with different frequencies of pulsed electromagnetic fields, including 5, 25, 50, 75, 100, and 150 Hz, with a field intensity of 1.1 mT, for 30 minutes per d...

The present contribution is concerned with an exact frame-based pulsed-beams expansion of planar aperture timedependent electromagnetic fields. The propagating field is described as a discrete superposition of tilted, shifted and delayed electromagnetic pulsed-beam waveobjects over the frame spectral lattice. Explicit asymptotic expressions for the electromagnetic pulsed-beam propagators are ob...

the efficacious effects of pulsed electromagnetic field (pemf) under the certain field parameters like frequency and the field intensity have been reported for various tissue and molecules. since collagen is found abundantly in most tissue structures, this research was designed to further investigate the effects of extremely low frequency (elf) pemf on the synthesis of the epidermal collagen. t...

Nonunion of fractures or osteotomies in the pediatric population is rare. The gold standard for the treatment of nonunions involves harvesting autologous iliac crest bone graft and sometimes internal fixation, which are invasive procedures. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of pulsed electromagnetic field on a non-united fracture or osteotomy in the pediatric populatio...
