Cells and proteins may have evolved to take advantage of frequencies naturally present in the Earth's EMF, potentially enhancing cellular energy levels and affecting resting membrane potential (RMP). Thus, changes in or absence of SR may have adverse effects on the functioning of the whole organism. Bioelectricity, independent of genes, has been shown to modulate health, suggesting the potential for using controlled application of EMF frequencies in treating certain types of cancer or conditions affecting the RMP. Research indicates that human brainwave activity is highly dependent on the SR, implying a correlation between atmospheric electromagnetic frequencies and brain activity. ELF, including SR, appears to modulate cellular calcium influx/efflux, likely via indirect mechanisms involving field-sensitive molecules or radical pairs that affect ion channel behavior which plays a critical role in cell signaling and regulation of various processes. It can also trigger a cascade of molecular events that ultimately lead to the generation of action potentials, affecting consciousness and behavior. The influence of atmospheric electromagnetic frequencies on human brainwave activity, modulation of cellular calcium influx/efflux, and potential effects on cellular energy levels and RMP highlight the significance of ELF in biological systems. However, further research is required to fully understand these mechanisms and their implications for human health and well-being.</p>","PeriodicalId":50544,"journal":{"name":"Electromagnetic Biology and Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144112728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research focuses on predicting the flow patterns of blood infused with gold and maghemite nanoparticles (gold-maghemite/blood) inside an EM microchannel under these electromagnetic influences and abruptly change in pressure gradient. The study models these flows by considering radiation heat emission and Darcy drag forces within porous media. Mathematical representation involves time-variant partial differential equations, resolved through Laplace transform (LT) to yield compact-form expressions for the model variables. The outcomes, including shear stress (SS) and rate of heat transfer (RHT) across the microchannel, are analyzed and displayed graphically, highlighting the effects of modified Hartmann number and electrode width on these parameters. Hybrid nano-blood (HNB) and nano-blood (NB) exhibit distinct thermal characteristics, with HNB transferring more heat within the blood flow. These study implements a cutting-edge AI-powered approach for high-fidelity evaluation of critical flow parameters, achieving unprecedented prediction accuracy. Validation results confirm the algorithm's excellence, with SS predictions reaching 99.552% (testing) and 97.019% (cross-validation) accuracy, while RHT predictions show 100% testing accuracy and 97.987% cross-validation reliability. This convergence of nanotechnology with advanced machine learning paves the way for transformative clinical applications that could redefine standards of care in surgical oncology, interventional cardiology, and therapeutic radiology.

The proposed system includes three components to ensure high treatment achievement drive and electromagnetic compatibility. The first is a high-performance antenna that will generate radiation at 1.65 THz; the second is a rectangular waveguide that will direct the antenna radiation without loss; and the third is a compact pyramid-structure beam focusing apparatus that will increase focus.

Our findings show that treatment temperature values have been reached with the THz ablation system depending on the exposure time and cancerous tissue location, and it has been determined that a high rate of tissue damage occurred.

Therefore, our study focuses on exploring the impact of 5 G signal exposure on human fatigue, particularly considering the influence of expectancy induced by psychological priming on the outcomes. In this study, we recruited 21 healthy subjects who were tested in three sessions. Each session included two 30-min exposures to either real or sham 5 G signals, with the order randomized. The experiment was conducted under varying informational conditions: subjects were provided with correct, false, or no information about the order of exposure. Additionally, subjects completed a fatigue scoring questionnaire and underwent Electroencephalogram (EEG) measurements during the experiment. The statistical comparison indicates that 5 G RF-EMF exposure at routine levels does not lead to changes in EEG power. The finding reveals that the report of fatigue can be altered by the conveyed information of being exposed by 5 G signals although there is no real exposure and no detectable electrophysiological indicator.

The Casson fluid model characterizes the non-Newtonian viscous properties of the biofluid. To describe the steady fluid flow mathematically, we use coupled partial differential equations and apply the homotopy perturbation method to derive rapidly convergent series solutions for the non-linear flow equations. The obtained hemodynamic consequences are graphically represented with the variations of emerging parameters. These are significantly influenced by the rheological factors of the nanofluid flow, improving flow velocity with changes in shear viscosity, while a decrease in flow is observed for intensified Lorentz forces. Ciliary motion accelerates the expansion of the induced magnetic field on nanolayers, while a higher Magnetic Reynolds number decreases the current density distribution. Increased radiative heat generation lowers the temperature, indicating that thermal radiation enhances heat transfer and improves cooling efficiency. In contrast, an increased ciliary length along the wall raises the temperature due to wave-like motion, which strengthens the thermal boundary layer in the fluid flow. Additionally, a higher nanoparticle concentration increases wall shear stress due to frictional forces, while enhanced magnetic forces decrease the shear stress along the ciliary wall.
