When will we (as a health care community) decide that we have enough evidence to either substantiate or refute whether cell phones cause brain cancer? According to CNN , a report from the World Health Organization on a decade-long investigation called Interphone will show a "significantly increased risk"...

Irradiated rats experience a 50% drop in cognitive function. But if the irradiated rats are transplanted with embryonic stem cells, they regain normal cognitive function within 4 months after radiation. Radiotherapy for brain tumors is limited by how well the surrounding tissue tolerates the treatment. In receiving radiation at levels needed to treat tumors, patients suffer varying degrees of learning...
