Introduction: experimental studies demonstrated that electromagnetic fields (EMFs) modify ion calcium fluxes in the membranes of blood mononuclear cells and induce changes in metabolism and surface marker expression. There is also evidence of autoimmune diseases in subjects with genetic predisposition, following exposure to physical, chemical or biological noxious agents or perception of stressful situations. The aim of this systematic review is to evaluate the effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) on onset and progression of autoimmune diseases. Materials and Methods: all papers published in scientific journal from 1979 to 2013 were examined for inclusion in the systematic review. The research was conducted using the following key-words: electromagnetic fields, immune response, autoimmunity, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. 37 studies were included in this article. Results: there is clear evidence that exposure to EMFs produced by radiotelevision broadcasting stations, radars, or electricity induces changes (within the physiological range) in number and percentage of circulating immune cells as well as in the immune response. Experimental studies on rats demonstrated that exposure to electricity induces metabolic effects similar to those of stress. Women resident near high power lines showed reduced melatonin production as in workers performing stressful night shifts. Employees with prolonged conversation time on mobile phone showed lower levels of serum TSH (index of increased thyroid metabolism) as in situations of stress. Discussion: it is demonstrated that there is absorption of energy in organisms exposed to EMFs; the effects of the EMFs (more elevated on the immune and nervous systems) are similar to those induced by stress stimulations. We suggest that the adaptation of tissues to the EMFs, in genetically predisposed subjects, may stimulate the onset and progression of autoimmune diseases.

Ventriculitis is difficult to treat and can lead to serious sequelae, a long course of treatment and hospitalization. We report a case of enterobacter cloacae ventriculitis and progressive hydrocephalus successfully treated by neuroendoscopic intraventricular irrigation followed by ventricular and subarachnoid space (cerebrospinal system) irrigation with Ringer’s lactate solution. Despite surgical intervention has not been established as a first-choice treatment for ventriculitis, neuroendoscopic surgery followed cerebrospinal system irrigation and intraventricular colistin, appears effective for the management of ventriculitis

Cholangiocytes are epithelial cells that line the biliary tree (1). The intrahepatic biliary tree is characterized by interconnected ducts which starts with canals of Hering, continues into intrahepatic ducts of increasing diameter to end at the level of the extrahepatic bile ducts (2). These cells play a key role in the ductal secretion of water and bicarbonate during the process of bile formation. These cells are also the target in several chronic cholestatic liver diseases (termed cholangiopathies), including primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), polycystic liver disease (PCLD) and cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) (3, 4). During these conditions, the balance between proliferation/loss of cholangiocytes is lost with critical effect on the maintenance of biliary functions and intrahepatic bile ductal mass (3, 5, 6). A typical feature that occurs under specific experimental conditions, such as common bile duct ligation (BDL) (Fig.1). After BDL, there is biliary hyperplasia and secretin stimulated choleresis (a functional marker of cholangiocyte growth) (5). Cholangiocyte growth/apoptosis is regulated by several factors, including growth factors, cytokines, gastrointestinal and sex hormones, such as estrogens, prolactin, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), testosterone and progesterone (3, 7, 8, 9). The purpose of this review is to summarize the recent findings on the effects of sex hormones in cholangiocyte pathophysiology. To clarify the mechanisms of action of these substances will provide new potential strategies for the management of chronic liver diseases.

Background: Endometriosis is defined as the presence of functional endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity. It’s classified in a primary and a secondary form. The endometriosis is a common gynecological disease with a prevalence estimated between 8-15%, it usually occurs in women during the reproductive years, with the maximum incidence between 30 and 40 year old women. The primary endometriosis form of the rectus abdominis muscle includes lesions that are not a result of a previous surgical procedure. This is an exceptional occurrence and only 18 cases have been described in Literature from 1984 to 2004. The incidence of the secondary form has been estimated around 0,003%-4%.
