Background: Effect of electromagnetic and radiofrequency fields on human health is not well understood, a concern is its effect on male infertility. With the increased use of modern technology, issue of protection against this fields has great importance. infertility is the problem to follow psychological - social consequences. The most common cause of infertility are: male factor, female facto...

AIMS Thromboembolic complications have been reported after radiofrequency ablation but the low incidence of overt clinical events has been a limitation to the study of factors affecting thrombogenic risk. The aim of this study was to determine whether radiofrequency ablation has a procoagulant effect and to examine variables that affect thrombio generation. METHODS AND RESULTS Thirty-seven co...

radar transmitters emit high-power radiofrequency radiation by creation of a high-voltage and high-frequency alternating electrical current.health effects of occupational exposure to military radar were investigated. visual reaction time was recorded with a simple blind computer-assisted-visual reaction time test. to assess the short-term memory, modified wechsler memory scale test was performe...

background: radiation-induced bystander effect is a response which results in damage in non-irradiated cells in response to signals from the irradiated cells. the aim of the present study was to investigate microwave-induced bystander effect from a gsm mobile phone simulator on induction of apoptosis in jurkat cell line. materials and methods: jurkat cells were divided into three groups of non-...

introduction radiofrequency planar microcoils are used to increase the resolution of magnetic resonance images of small samples. in this study, we aimed to design and fabricate a spiral planar microcoil constructed on a double-sided printed circuit board (pcb). it has four rings with an internal diameter of 241 microns tuned and matched at 63.8 mhz. materials and methods to achieve the maximum ...

BACKGROUND Radiofrequency is widely used in the treatment of chronic pain for its efficacy and low incidence of side effects and complications. Despite this, it is commonly believed that this kind of treatment could interfere with medical implantable devices. Potential interference between implanted devices such as pacemakers, defibrillators and spinal cord stimulators and the radiofrequency of...

OBJECTIVE To report experience with radiofrequency catheter ablation of fascicular tachycardia including two cases of the rare type of this arrhythmia which arises from the anterior fascicle of the left bundle branch. DESIGN Review of results of radiofrequency ablation in nine consecutive patients presenting with fascicular tachycardia. SETTING Regional cardiac centre. INTERVENTION Percut...

Raman amplification of a 49 cm Bismuth oxide (Bi2O3) as a nonlinear gainmedium based erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) is reported in new and compactdesign in near infrared spectral regions. The bismuth glass host provides theopportunity to be doped heavily with erbium ions to allow a compact optical gain fiberamplifier design by using reduced fiber length and the 1480...
