> whether microwaves cause AD is an important issue that is to be addressed in the current review.

Shame it's not really discussed in the body or conclusions.

The text of this article is barely literate English: typos, grammatical errors, weird diction. No evidence whatsoever is introduced in the article. The citations mostly seem completely irrelevant to the premise, and many of the citations are known junk studies. No name publisher. Core claims are introduced out of nowhere and not cited at all. Most of the conclusion section is completely unrelated to the title or thesis and includes a bizarre and uncited claim that having a cell phone in your pockets makes you infertile.

Would the submitter be willing to articulate what they found intriguing or compelling about this article?

Keep in mind this is not published by the NIH and is just from some small fry publisher. Did not really find much in the way of details here.

Let's go back to hamradio and RTTY's then. Telnet at 9600 bauds, anyone?

Increased mortality in amateur radio operators due to lymphatic and hematopoietic malignancies

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3422125/

Several other studies found increased risk in HAM operators.

Most likely correlation not causation. Amateur radio operators use a wide range of equipment and frequencies, so without know all factors such research means nothing. Many hobbyists solder the own electronics or have jobs in engineering, so there could be any number of other factors at play.

And of course the smoke inhalation from sending smoke signals.

The original wireless.

If the raw material for the smoke signal was cannabis bushes - would that qualify as a High frequency transmission?
