Background & Aims: Preterm labor is often resulted in preterm births and increased rate of neonatal morbidity and mortality. Treatment consists of bedrest, hydration, pharmacologic interventions, and combinations of these. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of intravenous magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) and indomethacin in the treatment of preterm labor pains. Neonatal and maternal...

This paper describes a leaching-purifying-precipitation process to recover magnesium from serpentine acid-leaching solution and synthesize high purity Mg(OH)2 4MgCO3·Mg(OH)2·4H2O. Fe, Al, Cr in the leaching were removed using oxidation precipitation method with active MgO as precipitant H2O2 an oxidant. Ni, Co Mn by Na2S obtain pure MgSO4 solution. Mg2+ ions first precipitated NH3·H2O Mg(OH)2, ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Therapeutic hypothermia shows promise as a treatment for acute stroke. Surface cooling techniques are being developed but, although noninvasive, they typically achieve slower cooling rates than endovascular methods. We assessed the hypothesis that the addition of intravenous MgSO4 to an antishivering pharmacological regimen increases the cooling rate when using a surface ...

Guanylin (GN) action on seawater eel intestine was examined under simulated in vivo conditions, where isotonic luminal fluid has low NaCl and high MgSO4 (MgSO4 Ringer). In Ussing chamber, MgSO4 Ringer induced serosa-negative potential difference (PD) even after bumetanide treatment, which is due to the higher paracellular Na(+) permeability over Cl(-), as confirmed by the replacement by MgCl2 (...

BACKGROUND Magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) is often used as a treatment for pre-eclampsia/eclampsia and preterm labor, resulting in the exposure of a significant number of neonates to this drug despite a lack of evidence suggesting that it is safe, or effective as a tocolytic. While there is evidence that MgSO4 may be neuroprotective in perinatal brain injury, recent reviews have suggested that the e...

Introduction: Considering the high incidence of preterm labor and its known complications, and that human myometrium contains receptors for human chronic gonadotropin (hCG) and that hCG can inhibit myometrial contractions on vitro, made me study treating effects of hCG on preterm labor. This clinical trial study was carried out to compare the effect of hCG, and magnesium sulfate (mgso4) on pre...
