SUONI E VIBRAZIONI SULL'UOMO - RISCHIO BENEFICIO (Libri)
Franco Bistolfi - Omicron Editrice

We are "permeated" by electromagnetic fields of different frequency and intensity (power lines, radio stations, mobile telephony installations, satellite installations, Wireless LAN, Wi-Fi, etc.). Which are the interactions between electromagnetic fields (pulsed/non-pulsed) and biological systems? We heard very often of thermic effects on biological systems, but there are also non-thermic effects on cellular structures. This book represents an inexhaustible source for starting points and remarks on the subject, with a complete chapter dedicated to electromagnetic-acoustic transduction (EMA transduction effect) and acoustic-electromagnetic transduction (AEM transduction effect).

Paperback edition of 17x24.5 cm and XIV-220 pages, with 57 figures and 15 tables, analytical index, 420 bibliographic references.
Presentation by Umberto M. Marinari (Professor of General Pathology - University of Genoa).

To the Reader

It is well known that intense noise and music at very-high intensity are causing hypoacusis and industrial vibrations can cause severe occupational diseases. It is less known, however, that sounds and vibrations can penetrate in-depth the body, by interacting - at certain exposure leves - both with fetus in uterus, and with tissues and non-auditory organs of the adult, from gastric-intestinal apparatus to heart and brain. But acoustic and vibrational energies (e.g. low-intensity ultrasound pulsed at low frequency) have an important role in regeneration of soft tissue and bone tissue, that find scientific validation thanks to recent conquests in the field of Biomechanics and Mechanobiology. Today is possible to evaluate the risk/benefit ratio of these energies, thanks to recent conquests of mechanobiology, a field with a very quick development, worldwide. In fact, it has the big merit of explaining us not only the pathogenesis of possible harmful effects, but also the mechanism of beneficent therapeutic effects obtainable with sounds, vibrations, infrasounds, ultrasounds and shock waves. In particular, to explain the mechanisms that subtend the regeneration of soft tissues and bone tissues using mechanical energies at different frequencies.

This book is addressed to both Researchers, in the field of Biology and Biophysics, and to many Specialists in the field of Medicine, like: Medical Physics, Occupational Medicine; Physicians and Operators in the field of Rehabilitation Physiotherapy, Music Therapy, Neurophysiology, Orthopaedics, Otorhinolaringology, Paediatrics, Radiology and Urology, as well as Operators in the field of Environmental Protection and INAIL Institutes, who will find - in this modern and original contribution - many important starting points for their profession.
