The effect of the parenteral administration of magnesium sulfate on the renal hemodynamics of normal dogs (1) and normal children (2) has been previously reported. However, no data are available concerning the effects of magnesium sulfate on the excretion of other electrolytes, nor have studies on the renal clearance of magnesium been reported. It is the purpose of this report to present such d...

BACKGROUND Depression is a common and often disabling disorder. Magnesium supplementation has been linked to improvement in depressive symptoms, but consensus on the relationship between magnesium and depression has not been reached. METHODS The purpose of this study was to test the existence of an association between dietary magnesium intake and depression in the adult US population. A cross...

BACKGROUND Current evidence suggests that intravenous magnesium sulfate might be effective for reducing migraine pain. In a recent pilot study, we showed that intravenous caffeine citrate could reduce the severity of migraine headache. The objective of this study is to investigate the efficacy of intravenous caffeine citrate vs. magnesium sulfate for management of acute migraine headache. MET...

Magnesium is a physiological N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonist. The NMDA receptor may be involved in the pathogenesis of acute mountain sickness (AMS). In the present study, healthy subjects were randomized to receive either 400 mg of oral magnesium citrate (16 mmol) or matching placebo every 8 h for 5 days (prevention trial). Subjects then climbed to 4559 m in approx. 24 h and stayed ther...

Due to creep characteristics of wood, long-term loading can cause a significant stress loss steel bars in reinforced glulam beams and high deflection the beam midspan. In this study, 15 were subjected 90-day test, effects value, reinforcement ratio prestress level on bars, midspan deflection, other parameters compared analyzed. The main conclusions drawn from study that accounted for 22.5%, 20....

The influence of surface grinding and microstructure on chloride induced stress corrosion cracking (SCC) behavior of 2304 duplex stainless steel has been investigated. Grinding operations were performed both parallel and perpendicular to the rolling direction of the material. SCC tests were conducted in boiling magnesium chloride according to ASTM G36; specimens were exposed both without extern...

Oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) fiber is a natural that possesses many advantages, such as biodegradability, eco-friendly, and renewable nature. The effect of the OPEFB loading reinforced fire retardant epoxy composites on flammability tensile properties polymer biocomposites were investigated. tests carried out with four parameters, which specimen A (constant), B (20% fiber), C (35% D (50...
