background: this study was designed to investigate the effect of intravenous magnesium sulfate on hemodynamic changes induced by pneumoperitoneum in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. methods: a randomized, placebo controlled study was performed on 52 asa class i or ii aged 20-70 years patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy with pneumoperitoneum with carbon dioxide. bef...

conclusions the addition of magnesium sulfate to lidocaine increased the duration of motor and sensory axillary block in the upper extremities during surgeries when compared to the use of lidocaine alone. results a total of 60 patients were included in the study with 30 patients having received lidocaine plus magnesium and the other 30 patients having received lidocaine plus normal saline. the ...

background: muscle relaxant agents usually use to facilitate tracheal intubation; however, sometimes limitations exist. magnesium (mg) sulfate is a candidate for muscle relaxant substitute. this study was designed to determine the effect of mg sulfate accompanied with propofol and fentanyl in patients undergoing ophthalmic surgery. materials and methods: in a double?blind randomized protocol an...

background: preterm labor is the leading cause of infant morbidity and mortality so it may be necessary to administer tocolytics for treatment of it. objective: the aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of magnesium sulfate and nifedipine in the management of preterm labor. materials and methods: 100 women with documented preterm labor were randomly assigned to receive magnes...

background: deliberate hypotension is a strategy that reduces intraoperative bleeding and increases the speed of surgery in otolaryngology procedures. magnesium (mg) sulfate is a vasodilator agent that reduces intraoperative hypnotic requirements and in combination with analgesic agents, it reduces intraoperative and postoperative pain. in this study we evaluated the use of intravenous mg sulfa...

ABSTRACT: Biofortification of food crops is implemented through the application mineral fertilizers, to improve levels essential elements for human nutrition. Magnesium a key macronutrient in crop production and quality; however, worldwide, it most limiting agriculture. plays an important role manipulating physiological biochemical processes plants. Therefore, objective this study was evaluate ...

though intravenous (iv) magnesium sulphate (mgs04) has additive effect to beta-2 agonists, its additive benefit in face of combination therapy with beta-2-agonists and ipratropium (standard therapy of severe acute exacerbation of asthma) remains unaddressed. the aim of this investigation was to evaluate the role of iv mgso4 when used as an adjunct to standard therapy of severe exacerbations of ...

Magnesium sulfate is widely used in obstetrics and is drug of choice in two important complications of pregnancy, preeclampsia and preterm labor. The antagonistic effects of magnesium sulfate on calcium ion and on platelet aggregation may lead to changes in bleeding time. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of magnesium sulfate on bleeding time in women with threatened preterm labor...

Eclampsia, defined as unexplained seizure in a woman with preeclampsia, is a life-threatening complication of pregnancy with unclear etiology. Magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) is the leading eclamptic seizure prophylactic, yet its mechanism of action remains unclear. Here, we hypothesized severe preeclampsia is a state of increased seizure susceptibility due to blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption and...

objective(s): febrile seizures (fs) are the most common type of convulsive events among children. its prevalence has been estimated to be 2-5% in children between 3 months and 5 years old. also, blood and csf magnesium levels have been demonstrated to be reduced in children with fs. this study investigates the effect of mgso4 pretreatment on the behaviors caused by hyperthermia (ht) and effect ...
