CARDIOVASCULAR EFFECTS. “One study observed that in years of peak GMS activity, patients admitted for myocardial infarction increased 25 per cent; other studies have reported a similar relationship, accounting for a 5 per cent increase in mortality in maximal solar years. Moreover, these epidemiological studies are supported by evidence from both human and animal physiological studies that reveal changes to blood pressure and HRV in relation to geomagnetic disturbances.” (GMS = geomagnetic storms). http://rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/early/2012/03/12/rspb.2012.0324.short View in LinkedIn

VESTIGIAL SENSE. “There is evidence suggesting that such a magnetosense—or at least the vestiges of it—may exist in humans.” http://rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/early/2012/03/12/rspb.2012.0324.short View in LinkedIn

EFFECTS ON MAN. “A controversial body of literature demonstrates associations of geomagnetic storms (GMS) with numerous cardiovascular, psychiatric and behavioural outcomes.” (GMS = geomagnetic storms). http://rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/early/2012/03/12/rspb.2012.0324.short View in LinkedIn

GEOMAGNETIC STORMS. “Six physiological parameters of cardio-vascular system of rabbits and ultrastructure of cardiomyocytes were investigated during two planetary geomagnetic storms. At the initial and main phase of the storm the normal circadian structure in each cardiovascular parameter was lost. The asynchronicity was growing together with the storm and abrupt drop of cardia activity was observed during the main phase of storm.” (1995). http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8555294 View in LinkedIn

MAGNETIC EFFECTS ON HORMONES. “It is hypothesized that the cryptochrome compass system is mediating stress responses more broadly across the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis (including alterations to circadian behaviour) in response to changes in the GMF. It is therefore proposed that GMS lead to disorientation of hormonal systems in animals and humans, thus explaining the effects of GMS on human health and behaviour.” (GMS = geomagnetic storms; GMF = geomagnetic field). http://rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/early/2012/03/12/rspb.2012.0324.short View in LinkedIn

STROKE STUDY. “To the best of our knowledge, this study is the largest to date, a sufficiently statistically powered, individual-participant population-based stroke incidence study of the effects of geo-magnetic activity on the risk of first-ever stroke and major pathological stroke types across different populations and age groups. We showed that although geomagnetic storms can account for only 2.64% of all strokes on a population level, exposure to geomagnetic storms (with Ap Index >60) on an individual level increases the relative risk of stroke by 19% across all ages.” https://lnkd.in/djUc-ZC View in LinkedIn

GEOMAGNETIC STORMS (GMS). "The cryptochrome genes are known primarily as key components of the circadian pacemaker, ultimately involved in controlling the expression of the hormone melatonin. Cryptochrome is identified as a clear candidate for mediating the effect of GMS on humans, demonstrating the prior existence of several crucial pieces of evidence.” (GMS = geomagnetic storms). https://lnkd.in/d6MM7qG View in LinkedIn

STROKE AND GEOMAGNETISM. “Overall, geomagnetic storms (Ap Index 60+) were associated with 19% increase in the risk of stroke occurrence (95% CI, 11%–27%). The triggering effect of geomagnetic storms was most evident across the combined group of all strokes in those aged 50%: moderate geomagnetic storms (60–99 Ap Index) were associated with a 27% (95% CI, 8%–48%) increased risk of stroke occurrence, strong geomagnetic storms (100–149 Ap Index) with a 52% (95% CI, 19%–92%) increased risk, and severe/extreme geomagnetic storms (Ap Index 150+) with a 52% (95% CI, 19%–94%) increased risk (test for trend, P
