BACKGROUND Recent years have seen a rapid increase in the use of mobile phones and other sources of microwave radiation, raising concerns about possible adverse health effects. As children have longer expected lifetime exposures to microwaves from these devices than adults, who started to use them later in life, they are a group of special interest. METHODS We performed a population-based stu...

This research reports an experiment which took place in an Arab middle school in Israel. The experiment was led by three pre-service teachers who were carrying out their final project in the field of teaching mathematics using mobile phones. The pre-service teachers worked with 32 eighth grade students to carry out authentic real life outdoor activities in the nature. We used discourse analysis...

Following hand disinfection, 40 anaesthetists working in the operating room (OR) were asked to use their personal in-hospital mobile phone for a short phone call. After use of the cell phone, bacterial contamination of the physicians' hands was found in 38/40 physicians (4/40 with human pathogen bacteria). After repeating the same investigation with fixed phones in the OR anteroom 33/40 physici...

The use of microwave is increasing day by day all over the world. Microwaves are used in mobile phones, microwave ovens, etc. Mobile or cellular phones are now an integral part of modern telecommunications. In many countries, over half the population use mobile or cellular phones and the market is growing rapidly. Researches are going on in various countries on the possible health effects of mi...

Introduction: Today concerns about the somatic and mental-emotional effects of exposure to electromagnetic waves have been raised. Although early thermal effects can not be attributed to these waves, It is necessary to investigate the long-term and side effects of these waves. One of the devices that has the most connection with electromagnetic waves is cell phones. In the pres...
