“…The occurrence of behavioral problems which mimic ADHD in laboratory animals have been shown to be caused by intrauterine exposure to RF-EMF of mobile phones [1]. Over the past several years, Mortazavi et al have expanded their focus on studying the adverse health effects of exposure to different levels of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMFs) such as cellular phones [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13], mobile base stations [14,15], Wi-Fi routers [4,7,[16][17][18][19][20]. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether maternal exposure to common sources of electromagnetic fields before and during pregnancy affect the rate and severity of speech problems in their offspring…”

Background: Rapid advances in technology, especially in the field of telecommunication, have led to extraordinary levels of mothers’ exposures to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMFs) prior to or during pregnancy.Objective: The main goal of this study was to answer this question whether exposure of women to common sources of RF-EMFs either prior to or during pregnancy is related to speech problems in the offspring.Materials and Methods: In this study, mothers of 110 three-to-seven-year-old children with speech problems and 75 healthy children (control group) were interviewed. These mothers were asked whether they had exposure to different sources of EMFs such as mobile phones, mobile base stations, Wi-Fi, cordless phones, laptops and power lines. Chi square test was used to analyze the differences observed between the control and exposed groups.Results: Statistically significant associations were found between the use of cordless phone and offspring speech problems for both before pregnancy and during pregnancy maternal exposures (P=0.005 and P=0.014, respectively). However, due to high rate of mobile phone use in both groups, this study failed to show any link between mobile phone use and speech problems in offspring. Furthermore, significant associations were observed between living in the vicinity of power lines and speech problems again for both before pregnancy and during pregnancy maternal exposures (P=0.003 and P=0.002, respectively). However, exposure to other sources of non-ionizing radiation was not linked to speech problems. Moreover, exposure to ionizing radiation (e.g. radiography before and during pregnancy) was not associated with the occurrence of speech problems.Conclusion: Although this study has some limitations, it leads us to this conclusion that higher-than-ever levels of maternal exposure to electromagnetic fields could be linked to offspring speech problems.

“…The news of the medical malpractices has started hitting the headlines in the daily news bulletins of the television media. In this paper, another strategy for positioning the significance of elements for an MLP has been produced (Parsaei et al, 2017;Lemoyne and Mastroianni, 2016). The media awareness has been demonstrated observationally to be both predictable and valuable.…”

The study considers the perception of medical errors and media awareness. This study identifies the effectiveness of the television media intervention in creating awareness on medical malpractices and it has find out the impact of maintaining medical records of a family online by the family doctor in reducing medical malpractices. This creates the importance of service quality in medical industry through the multilayer perceptron. At first, a substantial arrangement of components is figured out on each of the therapeutic mistake perceptions and media awareness. One inquiry of interest is how a multilayer perceptron (MLP) does handle such pointless inputs? The leftmost box plot shows, for cases that have observed awareness strongly disagree, the predicted pseudo-probability of category strongly disagree. The media awareness has been demonstrated observationally to be both predictable and valuable. MLP was used for data analysis.

“…Given this hypothesis, some researchers initially reported that psychological factors could be involved in EHS [ 148 ]. However, when they collected sufficient data, they realized that EHS was not linked to psychological issues and thus rectified their previous inappropriate hypothesis [ 149 ]. Indeed, the so-called nocebo effect is, at best, a hypothesis that needs to be validated by specific suitable experimental studies.…”

Clinical research aiming at objectively identifying and characterizing diseases via clinical observations and biological and radiological findings is a critical initial research step when establishing objective diagnostic criteria and treatments. Failure to first define such diagnostic criteria may lead research on pathogenesis and etiology to serious confounding biases and erroneous medical interpretations. This is particularly the case for electrohypersensitivity (EHS) and more particularly for the so-called “provocation tests”, which do not investigate the causal origin of EHS but rather the EHS-associated particular environmental intolerance state with hypersensitivity to man-made electromagnetic fields (EMF). However, because those tests depend on multiple EMF-associated physical and biological parameters and have been conducted in patients without having first defined EHS objectively and/or endpoints adequately, they cannot presently be considered to be valid pathogenesis research methodologies. Consequently, the negative results obtained by these tests do not preclude a role of EMF exposure as a symptomatic trigger in EHS patients. Moreover, there is no proof that EHS symptoms or EHS itself are caused by psychosomatic or nocebo effects. This international consensus report pleads for the acknowledgement of EHS as a distinct neuropathological disorder and for its inclusion in the WHO International Classification of Diseases.
