Human response to very low-frequency electromagnetic energy

Frey AH · 1963

Researchers measured alternating electric fields at a VLF transmitter site operating at 14.7 kc with 1100 kw radiated power. At the tower top center the field was 30,000 volts per meter and tingling occurred on bare metal and sometimes on painted metal. At the ladder top the field reached 989,000 volts per meter, producing strong shocks comparable to a 115 volts ac line and causing reflex withdrawal without muscle freezing.

SOME CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS DUE TO CHRONIC ACTION OF THE CENTIMETER RANGE WAVES

E. A. Drozichina et al. · 1962

The researchers reviewed literature data and clinical observations from the Institute of Industrial Hygiene and Occupational Diseases of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences collected over many years. They found that electromagnetic fields from centimeter-range waves under industrial conditions produced functionally reversible changes in organs and systems. In some cases these functional disturbances progressed to more pronounced and persistent pathological states characterized by vascular pathology and deviations in brain bioelectric activity.

EFFECTS OF MICROWAVE RADIATION ON ACTIVITY LEVEL OF RATS

SUZY EAKIN, WILLIAM D. THOMPSON · 1962

A sweep generator swept frequencies from 450 to 67965 mc and directed UHF waves at five rat cages placed 53.0 inches away to compare photo-cell activity with spontaneous activity measured immediately after exposure. Activity was detected by a light source and photo-electric cell in each cage, with counters automatically recording activity rates. Cages measured 18 inches long, 12 inches wide, and 18 inches high, with wire screen sides and hardware cloth floors. On the final day, radiation treatment yielded F = 2.07 with P < .93.

SOVIET LITERATURE ON LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEMS

Unknown authors · 1961

The study presented two units for electro-physiological investigations of the excitability of neuro-muscular preparations (n. ischiadicus and n. gastrocnemius) during irradiation with microwaves in the 10 cm range. A polystyrene chamber measuring 130 by 45 millimeters held the preparation during irradiation. The system included a unit for dosing the power flux density of the microwaves.

HIGH-FREQUENCY CURRENTS IN THE TREATMENT OF POLIOMYELITIS IN ADULTS

M.N. Anikin, M.V. Rumyantsova-Russkikh · 1961

The study observed 20 poliomyelitis patients aged 13 to 50 years with disease duration of two months to one year and applied medium-wave diathermy (current strength 0.6 A, wavelength 300 m) to the lumbar bulge of the spinal cord at the pathological focus. Diathermy increased muscle excitability, producing tetanus within five minutes and raising contraction amplitude nearly threefold, with the effect persisting for 15–20 minutes after the session ended.
