LES ONDES MILLIMÉTRIQUES PULSÉES À USAGE BIOLOGIQUE/THÉRAPEUTIQUE SONT-ELLES ADAPTÉES POUR ÉVITER LES EFFETS THERMIQUES ET AMPLIFIER LES EFFETS ÉLECTROMAGNÉTIQUES SPÉCIFIQUES ?
ARE PULSED MILLIMETRE WAVES FOR BIOLOGICAL/THERAPEUTIC USE SUITABLE TO AVOID THERMAL EFFECTS AND MAGNIFY SPECIFIC ELECTROMAGNETIC EFFECTS?
Résumé
This paper presents a reflection (not a review) about the basic mechanisms involved in biological and therapeutic effects of millimetre waves (MMW). From articles, reviews and meta-analysis, a special interest was given to low power exposure to MMW (approximately 10 mW/cm 2 or less). Excluding thermal effects, several exclusive electromagnetic interactions were presented, with mainly membrane and volt gated calcium channel as targets (VGcc), involving calcium influxes and water contribution. It appeared that thermal effects were not necessary and could be avoided. This led to consider and discuss the use of pulsed MMW signals (not continuous waves) that could limit or avoid thermal effects, allow lower power requirement, best spectral bandwidth targeting, and specific properties related to currents onset/cut-off.
