The effect of pulsed electromagnetic field (Diapulse) on cellular systems.

The effect of a 27.12 MHz pulsed electromagnetic field (Diapulse) on microbial growth is investigated. A strain of K 12 E.

The effect of diapulse therapy on the healing of decubitus ulcer.

The effect of pulsed high peak power electromagnetic field (Diapulse) on treatment of pressure ulcers is under investigation. 20 elderly patients, aged from 60 to 84, hospitalized with chronic conditions and bearing long-standing pressure ulcers, are subjected to Diapulse sessions (1-2 daily), parallel to conventional treatment. 5 patients undergo conventional therapy, serving as control and 5 others follow conventional+placebo Diapulse treatment.

The stimulation of fibronectin synthesis by high peak power electromagnetic energy (Diapulse).

The effect of Diapulse therapy (pulsed electromagnetic energy of 27.12 MHz frequency) on post-operative wound healing and plasma fibronectin concentration is investigated. Patients treated with Diapulse, locally and over hepatic area present higher fibronectin levels starting 3d day after surgery.
