The second (sham) group was placed inside an EMF cage for 1 h a day throughout the experiment (days 1-21 of pregnancy), but was not exposed to EMF. The third group (EMF) was placed inside the EMF cage for 1 h a day throughout the experiment (days 1-21 of pregnancy) and exposed to a 900 MHz EMF. No procedure was applied to the newborn pups until postnatal (PN) day 21, and new groups were constituted from among these.

Beyond the previous descriptions of SMF's simple hemodynamic results, the current study aims to clarify the physiology of the SMF BP/vascular tone normalizing effects. The examination of available literature and hemodynamic tracings provided strong evidence that mechanoreceptor magnetic activation is concealed behind SMF vascular tone adjustment (increasing or decreasing as needed), filling in the knowledge gap regarding SMF opposite directional vascular tone normalizing outcomes. It has been proposed that cytoskeletal actin filament rearrangement, mechanically-gated Ca²⁺ influx, and nitric oxide (NO) activity may strengthen SMF's vascular mechanoreceptor sensing/regulation ability, modifying BP and vascular tone features in a hemodynamic normalizing pattern.

This research predicts the flow patterns of blood enhanced with gold and maghemite nanoparticles (gold-maghemite/blood) in an electromagnetic microchannel influenced by Riga plates with a temperature gradient that decays exponentially, under sudden changes in pressure gradient. The flow modeling includes key physical influences like radiation heat emission and Darcy drag forces in porous media, with the flow mathematically represented through unsteady partial differential equations solved using the Laplace transform (LT) method. Results, including shear stress (SS) and rate of heat transfer (RHT), are graphically detailed, demonstrating changes in blood velocity profile with modifications in the Hartmann number and the width of electrodes, and differences in temperature and RHT between hybrid nano-blood (HNB) and nano-blood (NB). The key results indicate an increase in blood velocity distribution with higher modified Hartmann number, and a decrease with wider electrodes. Temperature is elevated in both hybrid nano-blood (HNB) and nano-blood (NB). Notably, HNB with gold and maghemite enhances heat transmission in the flow. Furthermore, an artificial intelligence-driven methodology employing an artificial neural network (ANN) has been incorporated to facilitate rapid and precise evaluations of SS and RHT, demonstrating remarkable predictive accuracy.

Individuals frequently struggle with sensory abnormalities, motor deficiencies affecting coordination, and cognitive impairments affecting memory and focus.
