introduction: some studies show magnesium has anticonvulsive effect in some animal models. despite of the availability of well-studied anticonvulsant drugs, this evaluation was not carried on new kind of magnesium supplement, magnesium oxide nanoparticles (nmgo). according to the interaction between magnesium and convulsion, this study was designed to evaluate the effect of nmgo on strychnine-i...

We describe hepatic rupture in a 37-yr-old woman admitted to the intensive care unit after an eclamptic convulsion. The intensive care and surgical management are discussed.

We aim to review local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST) due to suddenly developing convulsion during interscalene block in a 67-year-old patient undergoing shoulder surgery.

evaluation of magnesium levels in serum and cerebrospinal fluid of patients with febrile convulsion (fc) hospitalized in bahrami hospital in tehran in 2010-2011. in the past, decreased levels of magnesium in serum and csf of patients with fc were reported. the purpose of this study was to identify the possible role of magnesium in febrile seizures in children. identifying this condition, we may...

The anticonvulsant activity of Astragalus squarrosus total extract was assessed in pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced convulsion in mice, with diazepam as the standard drug, while mechanistic studies were also conducted using flumazenil, a GABA A-benzodiazepine receptor complex site antagonist. The extract produced protection against convulsion at 400 mg/kg, comparable with protection of...
