On the Etiology of Disorders Caused by Combined Ultrahigh Frequency Electromagnetic Waves

Petrov IR · 1968

The study examined disorders caused by combined ultrahigh frequency electromagnetic waves, using measurement of electromagnetic fields, biological monitoring, and epidemiological approaches. Effects were observed in human subjects and animal models. Exposure to these fields was found to lead to changes in biological systems, including alterations in cellular and molecular structures. Specific findings included impacts on nervous system function, DNA damage, and other physiological responses.

STUDIES ON THE COMBINED EFFECT OF MICROWAVES AND SOME DRUGS ON BIOELECTRIC ACTIVITY OF THE RABBIT CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM

Stanisław Barański, Zbigniew Edelwejn · 1968

Researchers used 65 male rabbits, exposing one group to a single 20-minute pulse-modulated 10 cm microwave at 20 mW/cm² and another group to chronic 3-hour daily sessions totaling 70–80 hours at 7 mW/cm². In single-exposure rabbits pretreated with phenactil, microwaves still produced EEG desynchronization; cardiazole triggered a threshold reaction at a lower dose, while strychnine evoked a weaker spike response than in controls. Chronic exposure produced persistent EEG desynchronization with high amplitude and reduced phenactil synchronization. Cardiazole caused violent convulsions at 3 mg/kg and strychnine produced spikes in most animals with two deaths.

Electroanesthesia and some thalamic evoked responses

Eustace F. G. Douglas et al. · 1967

Researchers implanted chronic bipolar electrodes in the centre median and ventralis anterior thalamic nuclei of squirrel and stump-tail Macaque monkeys. They applied rectangular current pulses of 70 Hz and 3 ms duration between the inion and nasion to induce electroanesthesia. As current intensity increased, the amplitude of depth evoked potentials decreased gradually and disappeared at anesthesia levels sufficient for surgery. Peripheral sensory responses were similarly depressed, and cross-thalamic responses vanished when surface responses disappeared.
