Cochlear implants in the etiopathogenesis of glioblastoma–an interesting observation or independent finding?

November 24, 2019
Abstract Various risk factors have been implicated in the pathogenesis of glioblastomas including ionizing radiation. Recent evidence has suggested a possible association between exposure to nonionizing radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) generated from mobile phones and wireless devices to cause malignant transformation of the neuroglial cells, albeit this is widely debated. In this report, we discuss the development...

2011- Council of Europe: The potential dangers of electromagnetic fields and their effect on the environment

November 20, 2019
  The potential dangers of electromagnetic fields and their effect on the environment Excerpt: As regards standards or threshold values for emissions of electromagnetic fields of all types and frequencies, the Assembly strongly recommends that the ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable) principle is applied, covering both the so-called thermal effects and the athermic or...

The Association of Sleep Disorders, Obesity, and Sleep-Related Hypoxia with Cancer.

November 19, 2019
Curr Top Med Chem. 2019 Nov 17. doi: 10.2174/1568026619666191118110155. [Epub ahead of print] Abstract Abstract BACKGROUND: Sleep disorders have emerged as potential cancer risk factors. OBJECTIVE: This review discusses the relationships between sleep, obesity, and breathing disorders with concomitant risks of developing cancer. RESULTS: Sleep disorders result in an abnormal expression of clock genes, decreased immunity,...

The physiological significance of the circadian dynamics of the HPA axis: Interplay between circadian rhythms, allostasis and stress resilience.

November 17, 2019
Horm Behav. 2019 Apr;110:77-89. doi: 10.1016/j.yhbeh.2019.02.018. Epub 2019 Mar 15. Abstract Circadian time-keeping mechanisms preserve homeostasis by synchronizing internal physiology with predictable variations in the environment and temporally organize the activation of physiological signaling mechanisms to promote survival and optimize the allocation of energetic resources. In this paper, we highlight the importance of the robust circadian...

[Radiofrequency electromagnetic fields, mobile phones, and health effects: where are we now?]

November 9, 2019
[Article in Italian] Epidemiol Prev. 2019 Sep-Dec;43(5-6):374-379. doi: 10.19191/EP19.5-6.P374.107. Abstract This paper aims to present useful elements for framing the issue of exposure to radio frequencies (RFs), in particular those related to telecommunications, and the possible effects on health also in the light of the rapid evolution of technologies (the advent of 5G). New developments in...

Scoping Review of the Potential Health Effects of Exposure to Extremely Low-Frequency Electric and Magnetic Fields

November 9, 2019
Crit Rev Biomed Eng. 2019;47(4):323-347. doi: 10.1615/CritRevBiomedEng.2019030211 Abstract Previous studies suggest that extremely low-frequency (ELF) electric and magnetic fields (EMFs) may impact human health. However, epidemiologic studies have provided inconsistent results on the association between exposure to ELF EMFs and various health outcomes. This scoping review reports on primary investigations that were published during the ten-year...

Evaluation in humans of ELF-EMF exposure on chromogranin A, a marker of neuroendocrine tumors and stress.

November 9, 2019
Chronobiol Int. 2019 Nov 4:1-8. doi: 10.1080/07420528.2019.1683857. [Epub ahead of print] Abstract Chromogranin A (CgA), which is a major protein in adrenal chromaffin cells and adrenergic neurons, is a clinically relevant endocrine and neuroendocrine tumor marker including pheochromocytomas, neuroblastomas, and related neurogenic tumors. In this study, we looked at the effect in humans of chronic daily...

Comparative cyto- and genotoxicity of 900 MHz and 1800 MHz electromagnetic field radiations in root meristems of Allium cepa.

November 9, 2019
Ecotoxicol Environ Saf. 2019 Nov 4;188:109786. doi: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2019.109786. [Epub ahead of print] Abstract In the last few decades, tremendous increase in the use of wireless electronic gadgets, particularly the cell phones, has significantly enhanced the levels of electromagnetic field radiations (EMF-r) in the environment. Therefore, it is pertinent to study the effect of these radiations on...
