BIOLOGIC EFFECTS OF MICROWAVE EXPOSURE

Sol M. Michaelson, Roderick A. E. Thomson, Joe W. Howland · 1967

The research followed the National Society for Medical Research Principles of Laboratory Animal Care and the American Physiological Society Guiding Principles in the Care and Use of Animals. Dosimetry and instrumentation evaluation were not objectives of the study.

That Strange Buzz May Be Radar

McCoy, AS · 1967

Relative Bursting Strength of Rabbit Sclera After Cryosurgery and Diathermy

George A. Hall, William A. Schlegel · 1967

Researchers compared the bursting strength of rabbit sclera after cryosurgery, diathermy, or no treatment using a device that measured the force needed to rupture the tissue. Six rabbits received paired treatments: cryosurgery in one eye with the fellow eye as control, diathermy in one eye with the fellow eye as control, or cryosurgery in one eye and diathermy in the other. Six weeks after treatment, diathermy-treated sclera required about half the force to rupture compared with control sclera, while cryosurgery-treated sclera showed only a slight reduction.

Morphological Abnormalities Resulting from Radiofrequency Treatment of Larvae of Tenebrio molitor

A. M. Kadoum, H. J. Ball, S. O. Nelson · 1967

Researchers exposed yellow mealworm larvae to radiofrequency electric fields at sublethal levels and observed the resulting adults. Exposures during the sixth instar caused leg malformations and absences, while fifth-instar exposures did not affect leg development. Longer exposure times reduced the number of imaginal legs that developed, and exposures later in the last instar caused more severe damage.

Electroanaesthesia and the Effects of Pulsed Electrostatic Fields Prior to the Induction Stage

D. P. Photiades, S. C. Ayivorh · 1967

Researchers exposed five male red patas monkeys and five human volunteers to pulsed electrostatic fields of 750 V/cm for one hour per session over ten sessions. The fields were generated by a 16,000 volt source with a 100 c/s ripple, pulsed five times per second between 25 cm square aluminum plates. When electroanesthesia was then administered, subjects pre-exposed to the fields required only 6 to 8 mA of pulsed current versus the full current in controls, and their pulse and blood pressure were 15 to 20% lower with reduced muscle spasm, while other complications were unchanged.

Some Peculiarities of Low-Frequency Rhythmic Response of the Visual Cortex

I. A. Kolomoitseva, G. D. Kusnetsova, M. S. Myslobodsky · 1967

Researchers conducted acute and chronic experiments on alert rabbits to study the restoration cycle of responses evoked by two to seven stimuli and single unit responses to single and low-frequency rhythmic photic stimuli. The organization of the rhythmic response depended on interaction between the evoked potential and the slow negative wave of the previous response. The augmentation phase resulted from coincidence of the stimulus with the summit of the previous slow negative wave and a facilitated evoked potential. During rhythmic spindle discharges most visual cortex elements were inhibited while a smaller part was activated. The authors assumed that the direction of unit activity changes depends on the initial polarization level of cortical cell membranes.

Determination of Electromagnetic Heating Patterns in Human Tissues by Thermographic Studies on Phantom Models

A. W. Guy, J. F. Lehmann · 1967

Researchers built phantom models from epoxy resins loaded with carbon and titanium dioxide powder that matched the geometry, dielectric constant, and electrical conductivity of human tissue structures. The models were pre-cut, reassembled, exposed to electromagnetic energy for five to thirty seconds, then quickly disassembled so temperature patterns could be recorded with a Sierra Philico thermograph camera. Thermograms of a model with stratified fat and muscle layers exposed to 750 mc energy showed reduced heating in the fat layer and intense heating in the muscle near the fat-muscle interface. The measured temperature distributions closely matched theoretical heating curves except for rounding of extreme nulls and peaks due to conduction effects.

Athermic and Thermic Absorption Processes with Microwaves from 1 mm to 30 cm

D. A. Copson · 1967

Biological effects of microwaves have been useful in diathermy and related applications. A vastly broadened use of microwave energy in communications has demanded knowledge of biological hazards. Most investigations reported deal with the thermic mechanism of absorption of microwave energy.

Lenticular Changes in Microwave Workers: A Statistical Study

S. F. Cleary, B. S. Pasternack · 1966

Posterior polar defects and opacification were the lens change categories most associated with microwave exposure. Multiple regression confirmed that age, exposure score, duration of microwave work, and their interaction significantly predicted eye scores.

Behavioral Effects of Ultra High Frequency Radio Waves: Abstracts

Susan Korbel · 1966

In a 20-day experiment, rats receiving 60 minutes of daily radiation were significantly less active than controls during the final four days. At a higher audiogenic seizure test intensity of 140 db, exposed rats had lower seizure thresholds and longer seizure durations. Older rats needed 7 to 12 extra days for effects to appear, lower frequencies had greater impact on activity, and effects persisted for four to six days after exposure stopped.
