The Effect of Microwaves on the Central Nervous System

W. Bergman · 1965

The study reports that centimeter-wave microwaves affect circulation, respiration, temperature control, water balance, albumin and sugar concentration in cerebrospinal fluid, hydrogen ion concentration, EEG, GSR, sleep, and conscious awareness. Depending on dosage, the waves stimulate either the sympathetic or parasympathetic system. Undamped or modulated frequencies are more effective than damped waves, and biological effects result from resonance absorption in ganglia.

NOTE SUR LA RADIOPROTECTION EXERCÉE PAR DES ONDES ULTRA COURTES VIS-A-VIS DE BACTÉRIES

L. Miro, H. Atlan, Y. Arnaud, G. Deltour, R. Loubiere · 1965

The study used a strain of Escherichia coli cultured in a nutritive medium and split into two Roux flasks. The flasks were kept for 60 hours with agitation 4 or 5 times daily and no temperature rise was observed. Survival was identical at 6,000 roentgens, increased at least tenfold at 24,000 and 48,000 roentgens, and mortality was similar again at 72,000 roentgens; the authors stated they did not intend to draw conclusions.

Comparative Studies on 1285 and 2800 Mc/sec Pulsed Microwaves

Sol M. Michaelson et al. · 1965

Researchers exposed adult mongrel dogs to pulsed microwaves at 1285 Mc/sec and 2800 Mc/sec at various power densities. Body weight loss correlated directly with power density and was similar at both frequencies at comparable intensities. At 1285 Mc/sec, rectal temperature rose markedly at 100 mW/cm² during the first week then moderated, with progressive lowering of pre-exposure temperatures suggesting adaptation.

Lichter I, Borrie J, Miller WM · 1965

The study was authored by Lichter, Borrie, and Miller. It was published in 1965 in the British Medical Journal. The record lists main subject headings of analytics, human, animal, effects, and toxicity.

On measurements of the intensity of ultrahigh frequency electromagnetic irradiations in relation to their medical evaluation

Sevast'ianov VV · 1965

The article appears in Voen Med Zh 7:21-5 (Rus). It examines frequencies of 300 and 390 in the ultrahigh frequency range.

NEURONAL STIMULATION BY PULSED MAGNETIC FIELDS IN ANIMALS AND MAN

Dosimetry of Radio-frequency and Microwave Radiation in Mammals

Verser, F.A. · 1965

The technical objective was to determine the reflection and absorption characteristics of the human body when exposed to microwave radiation. Transmission characteristics of a sample in a waveguide were measured starting with X-band and the work was planned to extend to other frequencies, modes, and pulsed radiation.

Microwave Heating: A Study of the Critical Exposure Variables for Man and Experimental Animals

Lothar O. Hoeft · 1965

The model showed that the microwave intensity permitting infinite exposure is approximately the same for all species, about 30 mw/cm*. At higher intensities, smaller animals reach the temperature rise more quickly than larger animals, with humans requiring the longest time. The authors note the calculations are conservative because real heat-regulation mechanisms like sweating are more efficient than the model assumes. Measured data from dogs fell above the calculated curve, supporting the conservative estimate.

Relationship of Environmental Factors to Lenticular Changes in Microwave Workers

S. F. Cleary, B. S. Pasternack, M. Eisenbud · 1964

Researchers examined 736 microwave workers and 559 controls for subclinical lens defects using ophthalmologic examination. Lens defect incidence increased linearly with age in both groups but at a significantly greater rate in microwave workers, attributable to lens opacity and posterior polar defects correlated with exposure parameters. A retrospective study of 2,946 cataract cases and 2,164 controls found no significant increase in relative risk of cataract formation associated with military radar work.

THE EFFECTS OF RADIO-FREQUENCY ENERGY ON CORYNEBACTERIUM DIPHTHERIAE AND CLOSTRIDIUM WELCHII TOXINS

Philip Schmidt · 1964

Clostridium welchii type A toxin showed no change in toxicity when tested by human serum opacity and mouse lethality studies. Flocculation tests found no change in antitoxin combining capacity or antigenicity of diphtheria toxin. The authors questioned the efficacy of available assay procedures and called for more precise methods.
