Epidemiologic Studies of Microwave Effects

Charlotte Silverman · 1980

The review describes two unpublished cohort studies: one of U.S. naval personnel occupationally exposed to radar, and another of American Embassy personnel in Moscow compared with employees at eight other Eastern European posts. Neither study found differential health risks associated with presumed microwave exposure, but both had significant limitations.

Microwave Diathermy Products; Performance Standard

Unknown authors · 1980

The proposed standard covers microwave diathermy products operating from 890 MHz to 22.125 GHz. Current equipment shows excessive stray radiation and minimal energy deposition in target tissues. The standard would apply to cancer therapy devices with possible variances.

A temperature regulating circuit for experimental localized current field hyperthermia systems

Melvin A. Astrahan, F. W. George III · 1980

The authors present a temperature regulating circuit for experimental localized current field hyperthermia systems using general purpose components. The circuit uses a variable attenuator with a field effect transistor controlled by thermistor feedback to modulate radiofrequency power. The design was tested in both animal studies and patient treatment with excellent results.

MICROWAVE THERMOGRAPHY ; THE MODELING OF PROBES ; AN APPROACH TOWARD THERMAL PATTERN RECOGNITION

D.D. Nguyen et al. · 1980

They used an active process with a coherent microwave signal fed into tissues and a passive process estimating thermal noise power from tissues reaching the probe. They verified that probe-tissue matching improves when the permittivities of the probe dielectric and tissue are closer. Experiments with a polythene pipe filled with warm water in a water tank showed good agreement between computed and experimental thermal signatures.

Nonionizing electromagnetic radiation associated with video-display terminals

R. C. Petersen, M. M. Weiss, G. Minneci · 1980

Detected emissions included sweep frequencies, clock frequencies, and their harmonics, but all levels were far below exposure standards. No microwave emissions above 1GHz were found associated with any terminal. The authors concluded there is no evidence that VDT emission levels cause deleterious health effects.

Factors affecting sperm motility. III. Influence of visible light and other electromagnetic radiations on human sperm velocity and survival

Unknown authors · 1980

Researchers exposed semen specimens from fertile and infertile patients to visible light, UV light, x-rays, and high-frequency radio waves. Sperm motility was analyzed before, during, and after irradiation using the multiple exposure photography method. No significant difference was found between controls and specimens exposed to various doses of visible light, UV light, and x-rays either immediately or several hours after exposure. High-frequency radio waves had a deleterious influence on human spermatozoa.
