DIAGNOSTIC AND THERAPEUTIC APPLICATIONS OF RF WAVES

CARL H. SUTTON

The review covers recent advances in using microwaves and other RF radiations for physical diagnosis and cancer therapy. A diagnostic technique combining radiometric readings of endogenous infrared and microwave emissions detects breast cancer with accuracy equal to xero-mammography and poses no radiation risk. A therapeutic approach combining microwaves with X irradiation for malignant melanoma allows reduction of the ionizing radiation dose without losing therapeutic efficacy. These and other applications in clinical use or animal model trials are discussed alongside biomedical, regulatory, and economic problems slowing research and development.

Management of Rheumatic Disease with Diapulse Therapy

not clearly visible on this page

The study covered 94 patients. 86 of those patients achieved partial or complete symptomatic relief. Among 46 patients with before and after roentgenograms, observable absorption of calcium was seen in 42 cases. The authors concluded that sufficient evidence shows Diapulse PUHF energy is a valuable addition to the therapeutic armamentarium for rheumatic diseases.

Performance Standards for Microwave Ovens

Unknown authors

The standard applies to microwave ovens manufactured after October 6, 1971 that operate at frequencies from 890 megahertz to 6,000 megahertz. It requires two safety interlocks, one concealed, and mandates that failure of any single component cannot disable all interlocks. Compliance is tested with the oven at maximum output heating 735 milliliters of tap water at 20° ± 5 centigrade. Manufacturers must provide service instructions with warnings about microwave radiation exposure.

ELECTRIC FIELD PROBES AND THEIR APPLICATION IN EMC

ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD EFFECTS IN NERVE TISSUE

Sheldon S. Sandler, Glenn S. Smith, Ernest N. Albert

Researchers exposed freshly dissected bullfrog spinal cord and brainstem tissue to a pulsed electric field of 1.3 × 10⁶ V/m for about 25 ms (six pulses). The pulse design produced a high electric-field intensity while keeping the estimated temperature rise to 0.001 °C per pulse, making thermal heating negligible. Light microscopy of thionin- and hematoxylin-and-eosin-stained sections revealed no gross histological alterations in large motor neurons of exposed tissue compared with controls. Exposed neurons showed no signs of eccentric nuclei, vacuolation, or hypochromasia of the cytoplasm.

RESPONSE OF MAN TO HIGH INTENSITY THERMAL RADIATION

J. D. Hardy, D. Murgatroyd

Pain reports were predictably related to skin temperature at the end of exposure, not to irradiance or exposure time alone. On the face, pain threshold temperature did not change significantly with area size, varying between subjects from 43.3°C to 46.9°C. Whole anterior or posterior body exposure lowered the pain threshold to about 43°C and was described as intolerable.

RESEARCH INTO THE INFLUENCE OF HIGH FREQUENCY ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD ON HUMAN BODY

HADUCH, S

The study was titled “Research into the influence of high frequency electromagnetic field on human body” and was conducted by Stanislaw Haduch and Stonislaw Baranski in 1960. Researchers examined peripheral blood by determining the number of erythrocytes and leukocytes and their percentage proportions. Exposed animals developed fever and died within a few days, with temperatures from 41.0 to 41.8°C.

RADIO FREQUENCY HAZARDS

Animal experiments have largely been performed using small fur-bearing animals such as mice, rabbits and dogs, but results are difficult to extrapolate to humans. The eye and the testis are the two body organs most seriously affected by heat. Due to overheating, the eye may develop opacities or cataracts, and these are irreversible, while damage to the testis induces temporary sterility.
