BACKGROUND Cell phone use brought convenience to people, but using phones for a long period of time or in the wrong way and with a wrong posture might cause damage to the human body. OBJECTIVE To assess the impact of improper cell phone use on transport and chronic injuries. METHODS Studies were systematically searched in PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, and Web of Science up to April 4, 2019 and relevant reviews were searched to identify additional studies. A random-effects model was used to estimate the overall pooled estimates. RESULTS Cell phone users were at a higher risk for transport injuries (RR: 1.37, 95%CI: 1.221.55), long-term use of cell phones increased the transport injury risk to non-use or short-term use (RR: 2.10, 95% CI: 1.632.70). Neoplasm risk caused by cell phone use was 1.07 times that of non-use (95% CI: 1.011.14); Compared with non-use, cell phone use had a higher risk of eye disease, with a risk of 2.03 (95% CI: 1.273.23), the risk of mental disease was 1.26 (95% CI: 1.171.35), the risk of neurological disorder was 1.16 (95% CI: 1.021.32), and a pooled risk of other chronic injuries was 1.20 (95% CI: 0.981.59). CONCLUSIONS Cell phone use at inappropriate situations has a negative impact on the human body. Therefore, it is necessary to use cell phones correctly and reasonably.

Abstract Background Cell phone use brought convenience to people, but using phones for a long period of time or in the wrong way and with a wrong posture might cause damage to the human body. This study was designed to assess the impact of cell phone use on transport and chronic injuries.Methods Studies were systematically searched in four database and relevant reviews were searched to identify additional studies. A total of 41 studies met the inclusion criteria.Results Cell phone users were at a higher risk for transport injuries (RR: 1.37, 95%CI: 1.22−1.55), long-term use of cell phones increased the transport injury risk to non-use or short-term use (RR: 2.10, 95% CI: 1.63−2.70). Neoplasm risk caused by cell phone use was 1.07 times that of non-use (95% CI: 1.01−1.14); Compared with non-use, cell phone use had a higher risk of eye disease, with a risk of 2.03 (95% CI: 1.27−3.23), the risk of mental disease was 1.26 (95% CI: 1.17−1.35), the risk of neurological disorder was 1.16 (95% CI: 1.02−1.32), and a pooled risk of other chronic injuries, was 1.20 (95% CI: 0.98−1.59). Subgroup analyses found that motor crashes had significantly increased (OR: 1.25; 95%CI: 1.18−1.32), as well as the risk for hearing problems (OR: 4.54; 95%CI: 3.29−5.80), headaches (OR: 1.25; 95%CI: 1.18−1.32), and abnormal biochemical indicators (OR: 0.51; 95%CI: 0.04−0.99).Conclusions Cell phone use at inappropriate situations has a negative impact on the human body. Therefore, it is necessary to use cell phones correctly and reasonably.

Se estudian nuevas variables asociadas a la pandemia covid 19, que pudiesen ser generadores de estrés que influyen en el rendimiento estudiantil. Diversos factores causan estrés académico a nivel de estudiantes universitarios: inexperiencia en el manejo de estrategias de educación a distancia, falta de internet, entre otros. Se destaca el impacto que la epidemia está teniendo en el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes. Como caso de estudio, se aplicaron encuestas entrevistas a estudiantes de una universidad pública y una privada. Resultados preliminares muestran una disminución de la motivación al estudio y del rendimiento académico con un aumento de la ansiedad y dificultades para adecuarse a la modalidad a distancia. La mayoría de estudiantes de las públicas tienen problemas de internet, y no cuentan con computadores ni celulares de alta tecnología. En cambio, estos aspectos son más ventajosos en los estudiantes de las privadas.   New variables associated with the covid 19 pandemic are studied, which could be generators of stress that influence student performance.

The impact that the epidemic is having on the academic performance of students is highlighted. As a case study, interview surveys were applied to students from a public and a private university. Preliminary results show a decrease in motivation to study and academic performance with an increase in anxiety and difficulties in adapting to the distance modality. Most public students have internet problems, and do not have high-tech computers or cell phones. On the other hand, these aspects are more advantageous in the students of the private schools

Enny, in this paper explain that many mobile phone users around the us, but only a portion of the concerned about the dangers of cell phones. This paper was compiled to determine the impact and solutions of cell phone radiation. Mobile phones emit electromagnetic waves which will affect the surrounding environment. Based on existing information, cell phone radiation is thought to cause cancer. Waves emitted from mobile phones over the air is causing electromagnetic radiation. Potential disrubtion of health consequences of radiation electromagnetic field has become an issue which examined till now, so found a variety of health disorders as a result of mobile phone users that includes the impact of mild and severe impact. Experts have discovered some efforts to minimize the effects of cell phone radiation on health of mobile phone users. Every user should know the dangers of mobile phone users. Radiation caused cell phone not only arise when used, but when putting a cell phone in your Pocket can also be exposed to any radiation. Therefore, mobile users need to know how to use a cell phone. Users should pay attention to the level of radiation caused by cell phones, so that the influence of electromagnetic radiation on health can be scaled down for mobile users.
