Does 2.4 GHz Radiofrequency Radiation (RFR) Has Potential to Treat SARS-CoV-2?– A Preliminary Observation

This preliminary study aimed to investigate the effect of 2.4 GHz continuous radiofrequency radiation (RFR) on SARS-CoV-2 viral load. Samples of control and exposure groups were selected from twelve cases who were confirmed positive for SARS-CoV-2RNA by the SARS-CoV-2 Double Gene RT-qPCR kit. All groups consisted of the same patient and used 50 μl of sample. The control group was formed with 50 μl samples separated before RFR exposure and it was not exposed. The samples in the exposure groups were placed in a circle with a radius of 3 cm, 5 cm, and 10 cm. RFR antenna was placed in the middle of this circle. The samples and RFR antenna were enclosed in a Faraday cage. These samples were exposed during 1 min, 5 min, 10 min, and 20 min by RFR antenna. After exposure, determination of SARS-CoV-2RNA in exposure groups were investigated using the same kit. In this study, the effect of 2.45 GHz RF on the SARS-CoV-2 viral load was quantitatively investigated different distances and exposure times. The statistical results of the study indicated that in all distances, 5 minutes exposure of 2.4 GHz RF altered the SARS-CoV-2 viral load (p0.005).

Low Anti-Mullerian Hormone Levels Are Associated with the Severity of Anxiety Experienced by Healthcare Professionals During the COVID-19 Pandemic

The objective of this study is to investigate a possible correlation between anxiety status and anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) levels among healthcare professionals who provide medical care directly to COVID-19-positive patients during the recent pandemic. Fifty-two healthcare professionals (nurses, midwives, and residents) who provide medical care directly to COVID-19-positive patients in inpatient clinics or intensive care units were enrolled in this study. Serum AMH levels were analyzed to reflect ovarian reserve. The Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-S and STAI-T, respectively) were completed by participants to assess their anxiety status. A linear regression model with participant age as the constant variable was applied to analyze the relationship between inventory scale scores and AMH levels. P-values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. The mean AMH value was significantly lower for the participants in the moderate/severe anxiety group compared to the minimal/mild anxiety group (p = 0.007). A linear regression analysis revealed a significant negative correlation between AMH levels and both BAI (B = ?0.030, standard error = 0.010, p = 0.004) and STAI-S and STAI-T scores when age was controlled (both p = 0.003). The severity of anxiety experienced during the recent COVID-19 pandemic among healthcare professionals, who provide medical care directly to COVID-19-positive patients, is found to be related to low AMH levels. © 2021, Society for Reproductive Investigation
