Rotationally resolved infrared spectra of Mg(+)-H(2) and Mg(+)-D(2) are recorded in the H-H (4025-4080 cm(-1)) and D-D (2895-2945 cm(-1)) stretch regions by monitoring Mg(+) photofragments. The nu(HH) and nu(DD) transitions of Mg(+)-H(2) and Mg(+)-D(2) are red-shifted by 106.2 +/- 1.5 and 76.0 +/- 0.1 cm(-1) respectively from the fundamental vibrational transitions of the free H(2) and D(2) mol...

INTRODUCTION Most patients with hypertension require combination therapy to achieve optimal reduction of blood pressure (BP). The angiotensin II receptor blocker, telmisartan, provides 24-hour BP-lowering efficacy and is proven to prevent cardiovascular morbidity in high-risk patients. METHODS Pooled data from seven randomized controlled trials (3,654 patients with stage 1-2 hypertension) wer...

The effectiveness of Mg as a promoter of Co-Ru/γ-Al2O3 Fischer-Tropsch catalysts depends on how and when the Mg is added. When the Mg is impregnated into the support before the Co and Ru addition, some Mg is incorporated into the support in the form of MgxAl2O3+x if the material is calcined at 550°C or 800°C after the impregnation, while the remainder is present as amorphous MgO/MgCO3 phases. A...

Bilayer Mg/Co and Mg/Mn (700nm) thin films were prepared using thermal evaporation method at pressure10 torr at room temperature. The films were rapid thermal annealed (RTA) using halogen lamp to get a homogeneous structure of thin films. The hydrogen gas was introduced in hydrogen chamber, where samples were kept at different pressure from 10 to 40 psi of H2 for thirty minutes. The conductivit...

BACKGROUND Meta-analysis usually restricts the information pooled, for instance using only randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials. This neglects other types of high quality information. This review explores using different information for the combination of paracetamol 1000 mg and codeine 60 mg in acute postoperative pain. RESULTS Randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled tria...

1. Concentrations of magnesium in plasma, the ionic concentration in rumen digesta supernatant fractions, Mg balance and electropotential differences were measured in three ewes which were fed on grass and supplemented with potassium and Mg by intraruminal infusion. 2. Mean plasma Mg concentrations were unaltered by combined K and Mg treatments, but fell (P less than 0.001) when K alone was inf...

Due to their excellent biodegradability characteristics, Mg and Mg-based alloys have become an emerging material in biomedical implants, notably for repair of bone as well as coronary arterial stents. However, the main problem with Mg-based alloys is their rapid corrosion in aggressive environments such as human bodily fluids. Previously, many approaches such as control of alloying materials, c...
