Effects of 100 mT time varying magnetic fields on the growth of tumors in mice
Abstract The effects of 100-mT, 0.8-Hz square-wave magnetic fields on the growth of chemically induced tumors in mice were investigated. Tumors were initiated using one…
Effects of PEMF on a murine osteosarcoma cell line: drug-resistant (P-glycoprotein-positive) and non-resistant cells
Abstract After pulsed exposure of Dunn osteosarcoma cells (nonresistant cells) to Adriamycin (ADR) at increasing concentrations and single-cell cloning of surviving cells, ADR-resistant cells were…
Pulsed electromagnetic fields in experimental cutaneous wound healing in rats
Abstract Electromagnetic fields are now being used in many diseases such as osseous, ligamental, cartilaginous, or nervous reparation, diabetes, and myocardial or cerebral ischemia. Although…
The influence of pulsed electrical stimulation on the wound healing of burned rat skin
Abstract Electrostimulation of wounds caused healing to proceed in a thoroughly organized manner. A trial using rats subjected to second degree burns was conducted to…
Effects of different intensities of extremely low frequency pulsed electromagnetic fields on formation of osteoclast-like cells
Abstract Over the past 30 years, the beneficial therapeutic effects of selected low energy, time varying electromagnetic fields (EMF) have been documented with increasing frequency…
The effect of pulsed electromagnetic fields on the osteointegration of hydroxyapatite implants in cancellous bone: a morphologic and microstructural in vivo study
Abstract Effects of pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs, 75 Hz. 1.6 mT) were investigated in 12 rabbits after placing hydroxyapatite (HA) implants in their femoral condyles.…
In vivo and in vitro effects of a pulsed electromagnetic field on net calcium flux in rat calvarial bone
Abstract Although PEMF’s have been found to promote fracture healing and to modulate the activity of bone cells in vitro, effects on bone metabolism are…
Electromagnetic fields and magnets. Investigational treatment for musculoskeletal disorders
Abstract Certain pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) affect the growth of bone and cartilage in vitro, with potential application as an arthritis treatment. PEMF stimulation is…
Effects of static magnetic and pulsed electromagnetic fields on bone healing
Abstract The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the healing pattern of an experimentally induced osteotomy in Hartley guinea pigs in the presence…
Treatment of delayed unions and nonunions of the proximal fifth metatarsal with pulsed electromagnetic fields
Abstract Nine delayed unions and nonunion of the proximal fifth metatarsal were treated with pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF). All fractures healed in a mean time…
