EMF radiations (1800 MHz)-inhibited early seedling growth of maize.
PMID: Protoplasma. 2016 Jul ;253(4):1043-9. Epub 2015 Aug 16. PMID: 26277350 Abstract Title: EMF radiations (1800 MHz)-inhibited early seedling growth of maize (Zea mays) involves alterations in starch and sucrose metabolism. Abstract: The present study investigated the impact of 1800-MHz electromagnetic field radiations (EMF-r), widely used in mobile communication, on the growth and activity of starch-, …

Male rat testes exposed to a 900 MHz electromagnetic field exhibited altered sperm quality and biochemical characteristics.
PMID: Biotech Histochem. 2016 ;91(1):9-19. Epub 2015 Oct 15. PMID: 26472053 Abstract Title: Effects of prenatal exposure to a 900 MHz electromagnetic field on 60-day-old rat testis and epididymal sperm quality. Abstract: We investigated the effects of exposure in utero to a 900 megahertz (MHz) electromagnetic field (EMF) on 60-day-old rat testis and epididymis. Pregnant …
The “golden age” of synesthesia inquiry in the late nineteenth century (1876–1895)
PMID: J Hist Neurosci. 2019 Jul 29:1-28. Epub 2019 Jul 29. PMID: 31356144 Abstract Title: The"golden age"of synesthesia inquiry in the late nineteenth century (1876-1895). Abstract: Synesthesia is a rare neurological trait that causes unusual, often cross-sensory, experiences (e.g., seeing colors when listening to music). This article traces the history of synesthesia in the period …
Radiofrequency-electromagnetic field exposure induces DNA damage in a eurkaryotic cell system.
PMID: Mutagenesis. 2016 Mar ;31(2):187-92. Epub 2015 Oct 17. PMID: 26476436 Abstract Title: Exposure to 915 MHz radiation induces micronuclei in Vicia faba root tips. Abstract: The increasing use of mobile phones and wireless networks raised a great debate about the real carcinogenic potential of radiofrequency-electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) exposure associated with these devices. Conflicting results …
Data suggests that synesthesia exists as a latent feature in all individuals, manifesting when the balance of activity across the senses has been altered.
PMID: Conscious Cogn. 2019 Apr ;70:70-79. Epub 2019 Mar 7. PMID: 30852449 Abstract Title: Inducing synesthesia in non-synesthetes: Short-term visual deprivation facilitates auditory-evoked visual percepts. Abstract: Sounds can modulate activity in visual cortex, facilitating the detection of visual targets. However, these sound-driven modulations are not thought to evoke conscious visual percepts in the general population. …
This study demonstrates the pro-inflammatory, pro-oxidant, and genotoxic effects of microwave radiation in rat brains.
PMID: Neurotoxicology. 2015 Dec ;51:158-65. Epub 2015 Oct 25. PMID: 26511840 Abstract Title: Low intensity microwave radiation induced oxidative stress, inflammatory response and DNA damage in rat brain. Abstract: Over the past decade people have been constantly exposed to microwave radiation mainly from wireless communication devices used in day to day life. Therefore, the concerns …
Onion is potentially a good source of important antioxidants.
PMID: J Food Sci Technol. 2019 Apr ;56(4):1811-1819. Epub 2019 Feb 13. PMID: 30996417 Abstract Title: Onion (L.) is potentially a good source of important antioxidants. Abstract: Six different cultivars of onions available in the Kuwaiti market were analyzed for various physic-chemical properties, such as, moisture content, sugar composition, TBARS as malondialdehyde, total phenolic content, …

Quercetin suppresses the proliferation and metastasis of metastatic osteosarcoma cells.
PMID: Biomed Pharmacother. 2019 Jun ;114:108839. Epub 2019 Apr 9. PMID: 30978523 Abstract Title: Quercetin suppresses the proliferation and metastasis of metastatic osteosarcoma cells by inhibiting parathyroid hormone receptor 1. Abstract: Osteosarcoma is an aggressive malignant neoplasm and cancerous bone tumor. Quercetin is a well-known flavonoid abundant in vegetables, fruits, grains, leaves, and red onions. …
Pre-germinated brown rice extract ameliorates high-fat diet-induced metabolic syndrome.
PMID: J Food Biochem. 2019 Mar ;43(3):e12769. Epub 2019 Jan 13. PMID: 31353547 Abstract Title: Pre-germinated brown rice extract ameliorates high-fat diet-induced metabolic syndrome. Abstract: This study examined the effect of pre-germinated brown rice extract (PGBRE), containing no dietary fibers, butγ-oryzanol, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), flavonoids, and anthocyanidin, on high-fat-diet (HFD)-induced metabolic syndrome. C57BL/6 mice were …
