TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of magnetic fields on the biological system were investigated, including the possible effects due to various gravitational states on developing organisms and their interaction with radiation effects, and some aspects of the authors' own work along with a review of the observed effects of the magnetic fields reported by others.

Abstract: The biological effects of radiation including the possible effects due to various gravitational states on developing organisms and their interaction with radiation effects is investigated. Certain aspects of the authors' own work along with a review of the observed effects of magnetic fields reported by others is also included. On the basis of these data, it is possible to speculate both on the association of magnetic field phenomena to the understanding of physiologic processes and on the possible deleterious effects these phenomena may have on the biological system.

Biological effects and health implications in magnetic resonance imaging
TL;DR: In this work, the safety aspects of the Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Spectroscopy (MRI/MRS) systems are reviewed and an effort has been made to present an up to date analysis of the biological effects within MR, covering a wide range of properties from cellular and physiological to clinical.

Electromagnetic bougienage to lengthen esophageal segments in congenital esophageal atresia.
W H Hendren,J R Hale +1 more
TL;DR: To avert the need for colon interposition in two infants, intermittent electromagnetic force was used to pull together "bullets" placed in the esophageal ends, which elongated and enlarged the esphageal segments enough to accomplish their anastomosis later.

Magnetoencephalography: evidence of magnetic fields produced by alpha-rhythm currents.
TL;DR: Weak alternating magnetic fields outside the human scalp, produced by alpha-rhythm currents, are demonstrated and a course distribution shows left-right symmetry for the particular averaging technique used here.

Magnetic Fields around the Torso: Production by Electrical Activity of the Human Heart
TL;DR: A magnetocardiographic chest map, consisting of the magnetic field plotted against time at various spatial positions, shows genteral QRS and T-wave structure, as in the electrocardiogram; this structure varies with spatial position.

Enzyme Activity in High Magnetic Fields
TL;DR: In this paper, the change of catalytic enzyme activity under the influence of an external magnetic field was demonstrated for carboxydismutase, for glutamate dehydrogenase, and for trypsin.
