background: considerable attention is focused on effects of electromagnetic field (emf) and its increasing use in everyday life. appliances and various equipments are sources of electromagnetic fields with a wide-range of technical characteristics. objective: in this study we investigated the effect of emf (50 hz, 0.5 mt) on epididymis and deferens duct in mice. materials and methods: 30 balb/c...

Recent rapid development of electromagnetic field (EMF) emitters (mobile phones, microwave broadcast stations, radiolocation, microwave sources in household devices) increased the environmental level of electromagnetic radiation. This, in turn, increased the interest on the possible risk of harmful influence of exposure to EMF. On the other hand, the low energy EMF of both low (homogenous magne...

The application of electromagnetic fields to support the bone-healing processes is a therapeutic approach for patients with musculoskeletal disorders. The ASNIS-III s-series screw is a bone stimulation system providing electromagnetic stimulation; however, its influence on human osteoblasts (hOBs) has not been extensively investigated. Therefore, in the present study, the impact of this system ...

BACKGROUND Tinnitus is a frequent condition with high morbidity and impairment in quality of life. The pathophysiology is still incompletely understood. Electromagnetic fields are discussed to be involved in the multi-factorial pathogenesis of tinnitus, but data proofing this relationship are very limited. Potential health hazards of electromagnetic fields (EMF) have been under discussion for l...

Exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) has become an issue of concern for a great many people and is an active area of research. Phytoplasmas, also known as mycoplasma-like organisms, are wall-less prokaryotes that are pathogens of many plant species throughout the world. Effects of electromagnetic fields on the changes of lipid peroxidation, content of H(2)O(2), proline, protein, and carbohy...

Nonionizing electromagnetic fields (EMF) have photon energy less than 10eV, a level not sufficient to produce ions by ejection of orbital electrons from atoms. The biological effects of two types of nonionizing electromagnetic fields are being studies intensely: extremely-lowfrequency (ELF) electromagnetic field and radiofrequency radiation. Extremely-low-frequency EMF covers the frequency rang...

the effects of electromagnetic fields (emfs) radiation at the frequency of 940 mhz on the structure and function of human adult and fetal hemoglobin (hba and hbf) were studied. after extraction and purification of hba and hbf, the oxygen absorption values for exposed and unexposed hba and hbf to emf were compared. the slope of oxygen absorption curve for exposed hba was increased while that for...

Exposure to artificial radio frequency electromagnetic fields (EMFs) has increased significantly in recent decades. Therefore, there is a growing scientific and social interest in its influence on health, even upon exposure significantly below the applicable standards. The intensity of electromagnetic radiation in human environment is increasing and currently reaches astronomical levels that ha...

Life on Earth is constantly exposed to natural electromagnetic fields (EMFs), and it is generally accepted that EMFs may exert a variety of effects on biological systems. Particularly, extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (EL-EMFs) affect biological processes such as cell development and differentiation; however, the fundamental mechanisms by which EMFs influence these processes remai...
