Occupational exposure to extremely low-frequency magnetic fields and the risk of ALS: A systematic review and meta-analysis

January 31, 2018
Research Article Occupational exposure to extremely low-frequency magnetic fields and the risk of ALS: A systematic review and meta-analysis  Anke Huss, Susan Peters, Roel Vermeulen Abstract We performed a meta-analysis to examine associations of occupational exposure to extremely-low frequency magnetic fields (ELF-MF) with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Epidemiologic studies were identified in EMBASE and MEDLINE, in reference...

Cardiovascular disease: Time to identify emerging environmental risk factors

January 17, 2018
Vernon et al.1 recently reported a significant increase in the proportion of first-time ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients without standard modifiable cardiovascular risk factors (hypercholesterolaemia, hypertension, diabetes and smoking). While the authors correctly highlighted the need for discovering new mechanisms of coronary heart disease based on theirs and other complementing data, we would like to...

Long -Term exposure to Microwave Radiation Provokes Cancer Growth: Evidences from Radars and Mobile Communication Systems

January 16, 2018
Summary. In this review we discuss alarming epidemiological and experimental data on possible carcinogenic effects of long term exposure to low intensity microwave (MW) radiation. Recently, a number of reports revealed that under certain conditions the irradiation by low intensity MW can substantially induce cancer progression in humans and in animal models. The carcinogenic effect...

Oxidative stress response in SH-SY5Y cells exposed to short-term 1800 MHz radiofrequency radiation.

December 22, 2017
Abstract Marjanovic Cermak AM1, Pavicic I1, Trosic I1. The exact mechanism that could explain the effects of radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure at non-thermal level is still unknown. Increasing evidence suggests a possible involvement of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and development of oxidative stress. To test the proposed hypothesis, human neuroblastoma cells (SH-SY5Y) were exposed to...

Exposure to Magnetic Field Non-Ionizing Radiation and the Risk of Miscarriage: A Prospective Cohort Study

December 15, 2017
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-16623-8 Published online:13 December 2017 Abstract Magnetic field (MF) non-ionizing radiation is widespread and everyone is exposed to some degree. This prospective cohort study of 913 pregnant women examined the association between high MF exposure and miscarriage risk. Cox (proportional hazards) regression was used to examine the association. After controlling for multiple other factors, women...
