Conclusion. 330 $aElectricity and Magnetism (E&M) underlies many lifesaving medical devices, such as magnetic resonance imaging scanners, neural stimulators, and heart pacemakers. But E&M also attracts its share of bogus health claims, such as biomagnetic therapy. How do you separate the good from the bad? Sometimes it?s not easy: experiments are prone to artifacts, theories are limited by assumptions, and clinical trials can result in ambiguities. In this book, the author separates the wheat from the chaff, showing which applications of E&M are bogus and which are not. This book takes the reader on a tour through a range of fascinating phenomena, from effects that are constant in time at one extreme, such as transcranial direct current stimulation of the brain, to the millimeter-wave whole-body scanners which are familiar to frequent flyers at the other. Along the way, the author looks in depth at the dispute about power line magnetic fields and leukemia, a case study in what can go wrong when dubiousclaims inflame unjustified fears. The debate about cell phones and brain cancer still rages today, particularly for the microwave frequencies encountered with new 5G technology. Recently, the so-called Havana Syndrome has been attributed to microwave weapons, but the underlying biophysics of such weapons is unclear. For all these encounters with electricity and magnetism, the author, an eminent biophysicist, uses science and evidence to sort out fact from fantasy. This book is aimed at general readers who want to make sense of the mysterious and often controversial ways in which E&M interacts with the human body. It is also ideal for students and professionals in bioscience and health-related fields who want to learn more without getting overwhelmed by theory. 606 $aElectrodynamics 606 $aMedical physics 606 $aBiophysics 606 $aMedicine$xResearch 606 $aBiology$xResearch 606 $aBiology$xTechnique 606 $aRadiation dosimetry 606 $aClassical Electrodynamics 606 $aMedical Physics 606 $aBiophysics 606 $aBiomedical Research 606 $aBiological Techniques 606 $aRadiation Dosimetry and Protection 615 0$aElectrodynamics. 615 0$aMedical physics. 615 0$aBiophysics. 615 0$aMedicine$xResearch. 615 0$aBiology$xResearch. 615 0$aBiology$xTechnique. 615 0$aRadiation dosimetry. 615 14$aClassical Electrodynamics. 615 24$aMedical Physics. 615 24$aBiophysics. 615 24$aBiomedical Research. 615 24$aBiological Techniques. 615 24$aRadiation Dosimetry and Protection. 676 $a612.01442 676 $a612.01442 700 $aRoth$b Bradley J.$0792305 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910564690703321 996 $aAre Electromagnetic Fields Making Me Ill$92836965 997 $aUNINA
