When electric pulses are applied to cells in vitro and even in vivo, the main interaction occurs at the level of the cell membranes. Indeed, cell membranes are not conductive elements while both the external and the internal media, resulting in the generation of transmembrane potential differences. Due to the thinness of the membrane (5 nm), the resulting local electric field at the...

Over 60 studies on mobile phone use and intracranial tumours in adults have been carried out to date, while one study only has examined this relation in children. This brief overview focuses on malignant brain tumors in adults (labeled “glioma” from the most frequent morphotype). The 24 studies on glioma risk in adult mobile phone users published by the end of 2011 include 2 cohort studies of...

The exact mechanism by which UVA radiation induces mutations is not yet fully understood. It is known that UVA can induce different types of DNA damage via production of free radicals. Free radicals that react with nucleic acids may give rise to mutations, sister chromatid exchanges and chromosomal aberrations. UVA can also oxidize dNTPs in the nucleotide pool. Oxidized dNTPs such as 8-oxodGTP...

Purpose: To analyze the short term effects of radiofrequency radiation (RFR) exposure on genomic deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of human hair root cells. Subjects and methods: Hair samples were collected from 8 healthy human subjects immediately before and after using a 900-MHz GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) mobile phone for 15 and 30 minutes. Single-strand DNA breaks of hair root...

The cardinal goal of this study was to examine the effect of 3-MHz ultrasound and/or laser on transdermal insulin delivery and glucose level in diabetic rats. Diabetes was induced in 45 male rats using Streptozotocin. Animals were randomly divided into 9 groups of 5 animals each. A leak-proof chamber containing either normal saline or insulin was placed on the shaved abdominal skin of the...
