Model		13.56 GHz (CW) exposure to monkeys and extrapolation to rewarming of hypothermic humans
Details		Rhesus monkeys were subjected to 30 sessions of hypothermia and rewarmed by exposure to 13.56 MHz (CW) MW at SARs of 5.5, 9, and 14 W/kg. Hypothermia induced hematological changes and creatine phosphokinase, lactate dehydrogenase, and glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase elevations were less pronounced in MW treated animals than in animals treated with conventional heat. The authors conclude that the MW rewarming shows promise for clinical use.
