Evaluation of Wi-Fi Radiation Effects on Antibiotic Susceptibility, Metabolic Activity and Biofilm Formation by Escherichia Coli 0157H7, Staphylococcus Aureus and Staphylococcus Epidermis

Said-Salman IH, Jebali FA, Yusef HH, Mustafa ME · 2019

Researchers exposed three types of disease-causing bacteria to Wi-Fi radiation at 2.4 GHz for 24-48 hours and found significant changes in bacterial behavior. The Wi-Fi exposure increased antibiotic resistance in E. coli, enhanced the ability of all three bacterial strains to form protective biofilms, and boosted their metabolic activity. These changes could make bacterial infections harder to treat with standard antibiotics.

Zheng Y, Ma XX, Dong L, Gao Y, Tian L · 2019

This study examined how single- and hybrid-frequency extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMFs) at 1 mT intensity affect long-term potentiation in rat hippocampal tissue. Results showed that single-frequency magnetic stimulation produced more significant regulatory effects on synaptic plasticity than hybrid-frequency stimulation, with lower frequencies showing greater effects, and 15-Hz stimulation demonstrating the strongest regulatory impact.

Zhang X, Lv M, Zhu X, Tian L, Li J, Shao Y, Gao C, Sun X · 2019

This study investigated how isoflurane preconditioning protects against neural damage caused by electromagnetic pulse exposure in rats. The researchers found that isoflurane preconditioning reduces neuroinflammation by shifting microglial cells from a pro-inflammatory to an anti-inflammatory state through upregulation of SOCS1, thereby reducing neuronal death.

This study examined whether exposure to an extremely low-frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) affects tail-lifting behavior in central bearded dragons (Pogona vitticeps) in relation to lunar phases. The research investigated potential correlations between lunar cycles, EMF exposure, and this specific behavioral response in the lizards.

Static magnetic stimulation of the primary motor cortex impairs online but not offline motor sequence learning

Lacroix A et al. · 2019
