“…Still the results reported here are significant because the site was very distinct by its radiation; there are only a few sites with this exposure to radiation in one country. More importantly, there are reports of similar cancer clusters in similar other radiation affected sites in Israel as reported for example in [5] and [7]. The probability of all of them occurring at random is very small.…”

“…The personal cancer risk of 16% presented here and risks of a similar order of magnitude reported in other cases in the occupational and military setting such as in [4], [5] and [7] are much higher than the personal risks reported in the mobile phone setting [1], [2] and [3]. (Any risk in the mobile phone setting is important because of the huge number of users.)…”

-A cancer cluster which occurred among young workers in an antenna ranges facility is reported. Five out of about 30 workers were diagnosed with cancer. The calculated Odds Ratio (OR) was 8.3 with Confidence Interval (CI 95%) of 2.3 to 19. Since this is a single cluster no definite conclusions can be drawn from it by itself, however together with other similar cases reported elsewhere it tends to indicate a severe cancer risk for groups of young people exposed repetitively and over years to non-ionizing radio-frequency radiation at levels limited only by the ICNIRP thermal limits.

Manmade electromagnetic radiation increases in the environment as new applications are frequently adopted. Humans serve as receiving antennas for electromagnetic waves. Thus various new responses can be expected. In addition to radio and television programs, mobile telephony, distant reading of electricity and water consumption and many other technologies load us electrically and magnetically both out-and indoors. Most exposures are active all the time, day and night, continuously or in regular pulses. Personal devices are also important sources, since they touch the skin and are held near the brain and heart. Humans are good bioindicators, as their physiological parameters, such as heart function and blood biochemistry, are frequently recorded. Data storage and analysis are getting better. Humans also report symptoms that cannot be directly measured, and carry valuable information on bioeffects. Studies from recent decades have shown that exposure to electromagnetic waves can break DNA chains, damage proteins,

Wärmeanwendungen sind in der Krankheitsprävention und zur Linderung vielfältiger Beschwerden ein fester Bestandteil unserer Kultur. Durch die Fortschritte der Medizin wurden Wärmeanwendungen als therapeutisches Verfahren in Randgebiete verdrängt. Mit dem demographischen Wandel, der Zunahme chronischer und vor allem stoffwechselbedingter Erkrankungen sowie durch den Kostendruck im Gesundheitswesen wächst jedoch das Interesse an diesen Verfahren bei Betroffenen sowie auch in der Medizin. Neben der Konduktion und Konvektion werden im privaten und medizinischen Umfeld radiative Verfahren genutzt. Die Wirkung der Wärmeapplikation ist unabhängig vom Medium mit reflektorischen Reaktionen (Muskelentspannung und Schmerzlinderung) sowie Effekten auf Basis der Durchblutungserhöhung und der Temperaturerhöhung im Gewebe erklärbar. Da Wärme im Körper praktisch ausschliesslich mittels Konvektion über das Blut verteilt werden kann, erklärt sich der Einfluss auf das Herzkreislaufsystem. Unter Berücksichtigung der Wärmeregulationsmechanismen lassen sich drei Prinzipien unterscheiden. Die Wärmeapplikation oberhalb, innerhalb und unterhalb der Thermoneutralzone differieren jeweils hinsichtlich der Herzkreislaufbelastung und der Wärmeverteilung. Mit Wärmeanwendungen sind allerdings auch Gefahren verbunden - vor allem, wenn die Wärmeregulation durch Erkrankungen oder Medikationen auf zentraler oder lokaler Ebene gestört ist. Dies geschieht vor allem in Hinblick auf die Herzkreislaufbelastung und auf thermische Schädigungen der Haut. Daher sind Wärmeapplikationssysteme zu fordern, die den Wärmefluss individuell an die Wärmeaufnahmefähigkeit des Körpers anpassen (SensoCare®). Als Regelgrösse kann dazu die kontinuierliche Messung der Hauteigentemperatur genutzt werden, um eine effiziente und sichere Wärmeanwendung zu ermöglichen.
