Electromagnetism and bone repair

Unknown authors · 1974

Researchers broke two legs in each of 43 dogs and applied a pulsing electromagnetic field to one leg for 28 days while the other leg served as a control. The fractures exposed to the field healed better than the unexposed fractures.

Microwave Hearing: Evidence for Thermoacoustic Auditory Stimulation by Pulsed Microwaves

H. H. Seliger et al. · 1974

The transients were confirmed to be thermal in origin by temperature dependence. Similar transients were observed in biological tissues. At human hearing threshold, the transients produce about 90 db in the audible band, above the expected bone-conduction threshold.

The Impact of Electrical Energies on Psychodynamics

Eldon Byrd · 1974

The author states that the paper will explore recent findings concerning possible external and internal electrical influences on psychodynamic development and states. Rhythms are described as the central theme, with their initiation, maintenance, and correlation at the core of normal and pathological psychodynamic states. Severe brain damage eliminates adrenal steroid hormone circadian rhythm. The deaf can respond to pulse-modulated electronic transmitters, implying a possible cellular response integrated by an organ or the brain.

Review of a Program to Assess the Effects on Man from Exposure to Microwaves

Michaelson SM · 1974

The paper reviews the International Symposium on Biologic Effects and Health Hazards of Microwave Radiation held in Warsaw 15-18 October 1973 and the WHO Evaluation Group meeting in Copenhagen 22-23 October 1973. Over fifty participants from 12 countries and representatives from 5 international organizations attended, and thirty-eight papers from nine countries were presented. Symposium authors agreed that measurement of incident fields and energy absorption posed multiple problems and that accurate dosimetric measurement could only be achieved to a small extent.

MICROWAVE HEARING: EVIDENCE FOR THERMOACOUSTIC STIMULATION OF THE HUMAN AUDITORY SYSTEM BY PULSED MICROWAVES

K. Foster · 1974

The transients were confirmed as thermal by their disappearance at 4°C where water's expansion coefficient vanishes. At the human hearing threshold, microwave pulses produced 90 dB pressure transients, above the 80 dB bone-conduction threshold for noise bursts.

Radiowave and Microwave Blood Warmers: Comparison with Water Bath Blood Warming Units

Hamid Dalili, John Adriani, Wei T. Wu, Monroe S. Samuels · 1973

Water bath warming to 97±1°F did not alter electrolyte or enzyme levels in banked blood. The microwave warmer caused hemolysis in 35% to 40% of blood samples warmed.

Possible Use of Microwaves in the Management of Lung Disease

Charles Susskind · 1973

The analysis focused on detecting excessive fluid accumulation in interstitial lung regions, not on identifying diseased lung tissue itself. Prior attempts to distinguish normal from abnormal cells by microwave methods at the University of Pennsylvania and in the USSR yielded negative results because electrical properties are not sufficiently different. The author noted that wavelength must be smaller than the area being mapped, so centimetric waves suit decimetric lung cavities.

The Distribution of Radiofrequency Current and Burns

Becker CM, Malhotra IV, Hedley-Whyte J · 1973

The average maximum radiofrequency current in the electrocardioscope ground electrode was 175 milliamperes (range 20-290). Approximately 100 milliamperes per square centimeter for about 10 seconds can cause skin damage. The authors suggested that radiofrequency inductors (chokes) may prevent these burns.
