BACKGROUND Fibromyalgia is a syndrome characterized by chronic pain, fatigue, depression, and sleep disturbances. Its primary cause is unclear. Several studies have reported decreased intracellular magnesium levels in patients with fibromyalgia and have found negative correlation between magnesium levels and fibromyalgia symptoms. OBJECTIVE To gather preliminary data on whether transdermal ma...

Introduction: Calcium critical limit in pistachio plants is about 1.3 percent of plant dried material; magnesium critical limit in pistachio leaves is about 0.6 percent of plant dried material. To measure calcium and magnesium there are several methods in which three methods of titration and atomic absorption that are more common and used to libraries more in addition to ICP modern method are u...

The distal ends of ciliary microtubules are attached to the membrane by microtubule-capping structures. The capping structures are located at the sites of tubulin addition and loss in vivo and may be part of the regulatory system that directs ciliary and flagellar microtubule assembly. This study describes conditions for the release and stabilization of microtubule capping structures as a first...

Background: Cisplatin is an antineoplastic agent used to treat many malignancies; however, the main side effect of cisplatin is nephrotoxicity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of hydration therapy with and without magnesium on prevention of cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. Methods: This retrospective study was performed on 46 patients with malignancy who were candidate to rec...

Myofibrils which lengthen by several per cent in the presence of ATP and magnesium ions were prepared by teasing indirect flight muscle of Drosophila in solutions containing ethylenediaminetetraacetate. A study was made of the hydrogen ion, magnesium ion, ATP, and potassium chloride concentrations with which this effect could be observed. The lack of elongation with pyrophosphate and several nu...

www.nexusmagazine.com NEXUS • 1 Magnesium is nothing short of a miracle mineral in its healing effect on a wide range of diseases as well as in its ability to rejuvenate the aging body. We know that it is essential for many enzyme reactions, especially in regard to cellular energy production, for the health of the brain and nervous system and also for healthy teeth and bones. However, it may co...

Groundwater is germane to human existence. The study assessed the physicochemical attributes of groundwater for domestic and irrigation applications. This was conducted by collecting subjecting thirty (30) samples analysis. Thirteen parameters such as pH, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, hardness, magnesium, calcium, sodium, iron, fluoride, chloride, sulphate, nitrate, phosphate...

Analy8i8 of magnesium, potassium and sodium. The methods used were the same as those described in the preceding paper (Conway & Duggan, 1958). Procedure. Fresh baker's yeast (supplied by the Cork Yeast Co.), was twice washed. A portion (1 g.) of the yeast washed and packed by centrifuging was suspended in 20 vol. of a medium containing 5% (w/v) of glucose and 200 mM-magnesium acetate (or chlori...

Preparation of 2-Amino-2-Methyl-1 ,3Propandiol-Thymolphthalein Monophosphate (AMPD-TMP) Place 5 g (4.27 mmol) of magnesium thymolphthalein monophosphate (Eastman Kodak, Rochester, N. Y. 14650) in a 500-ml Erlenmeyer flask and add 100 ml of 2 mol/ liter HC1. Stir vigorously until the magnesium salt is well dispersed, add 100 ml of diethyl ether and continue stirring until a uniform suspension is...
