The effects of a 1.8 GHz continuous electromagnetic fields on mucociliary transport of human nasal mucosa

Abstract

EMF may inhibit CBF via an nPKC-dependent mechanism. Therefore, we have confirmed that EMF could decrease CBF by increasing PKC activity.

Effects of a continuous electromagnetic field on wound healing in human airway

“…Exposure to EMF was as previously described . In brief, samples were exposed to a 1.8‐GHz continuous EMF wave driven by a dipole antenna for 72 hours using an SS‐01 signal source (EMF Safety Inc., Seoul, South Korea).…”

“…Positive effects include enhanced healing of bone fractures and treatments for osteoarthritis . Negative effects include deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage, reproductive disorders, immunosuppression, neurological disorders, and inhibition of ciliary beat frequency . However, there are few studies about the effects of EMFs in the mobile phone frequency range on wound healing.…”

Searching for the Perfect Wave: The Effect of Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields on Cells

“…However electrophysiological evidence from single cell recording could not determine any frequency, or intensity or distance-related damage after RF exposure [36]. Similarly, no change was detected in physiological parameters in the nasal area [37] or in the oral mucosa cells both spatially close to cell phone EMF exposure [38]. Regarding neuronal networking, Moretti [39] published a report about the thermal effect of short-term exposure to GSM-1800 on neuronal firing by measuring the spontaneous electrical activity in vitro .…”

Robotic surgical systems in maxillofacial surgery: a review

“…Later, O’Malley and colleagues 14 reported the technical feasibility of robot-assisted surgery for base of tongue (BOT) neoplasm resection; Weinstein and colleagues 15 successfully performed a robot-assisted radical tonsillectomy in 2007 after cadaveric robotic surgery. With this much groundwork completed, several studies subsequently focused on the application of TORS in various types of neoplasms, including squamous cell carcinoma, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59 mucoepidermoid carcinoma, 16, 35, 43, 50, 60, 61 malignant melanoma, 62 synoviosarcoma, 33, 63 adenoid cystic carcinoma, 33, 35, 43, 50, 60, 64 pleomorphic adenoma, 32, 35, 47, 65 lipoma 33 and neurilemmoma. 64 …”

“…Furthermore, TORS appeared to be more effective in the detection and diagnosis of unknown primary tumors than conventional methods, including computed tomography, positron-emission tomography and directed biopsies, especially for human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive patients. 51, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59 …”
