Background The present study has been designed to compare the effect of magnesium sulfate with mannitol on reducing intraocular pressure (IOP). Materials and Methods During the phacoemulsification surgery, 105 patients randomly divided into three groups receiving 20% mannitol at a dose of 0.3 g/kg, 50% magnesium sulfate at a dose of 20 mg/kg, and placebo (normal saline), with the same volume ...

Febrile illness-related epilepsy syndrome is a catastrophic epileptic encephalopathy that is highly refractory to most antiepileptic drugs leading to high morbidity and mortality. The authors report the use of a pediatric infusion protocol of continuous intravenous magnesium sulfate for the control of seizures in 2 children with febrile illness-related epilepsy syndrome refractory to multiple a...

This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy of intravenous (IV) and nebulized magnesium sulfate for acute asthma in children. Ten randomized and quasi-randomized trials (6 IV, 4 nebulized) were identified through search of databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, and EMBASE). Intavenous magnesium sulfate treatment was associated with significant effects on respiratory fu...

INTRODUCTION: Eclampsia contributes to maternal mortality in developing, underdeveloped world. Various drugs have been tried treat eclampsia. Magnesium sulphate has become the drug of choice due various advantages and is associated with adverse outcome for both mother fetus if not used correctly. OBJECTIVE: To compare efficacy safety intramuscular magnesium low dose intravenous regimen treatmen...

OBJECTIVE Treatment of severe persistent pulmonary hypertension of the neoborn remains controversial and various modalities of treatment have been tried. This study was performed to evaluate the effect of magnesium sulphate (MgSO4) as a treatment of persistent pulmonary hypertension of the neoborn (PPHN) in full term babies. METHODS This study was carried out in the Maternity and Children's H...

The aims of this study were to examine the effect of salts (CaCl2, CaSO4 and MgSO4) on the rheological and thermal properties of gelatin extracted from the skins of tropical fishes, sin croaker (Johnius dussumeiri) and shortfin scad (Decapterus macrosoma). It was found that the melting temperatures of fish skin gelatins were increased by 1.5 times as compared to bovine gelatin which was only in...

STUDY OBJECTIVES There is some evidence that magnesium, when infused into asthmatic patients, can produce bronchodilation in addition to that obtained from standard treatments. This systematic review examined the effect of intravenous magnesium sulfate used for patients with acute asthma managed in the emergency department. METHODS Only randomized controlled trials were eligible for inclusion...

OBJECTIVE To provide guidelines for the use of antenatal magnesium sulphate (MgSO4) for fetal neuroprotection of the preterm infant. OPTIONS Antenatal MgSO4 administration should be considered for fetal neuroprotection when women present at ≤ 31+6 weeks with imminent preterm birth, defined as a high likelihood of birth because of active labour with cervical dilatation ≥ 4 cm, with or without ...

Major advancements are needed in the thermochemical energy storage (TCES) field to bring technology commercial levels. The current research strategies focused on improving heat and mass transfer using different supporting materials achieve mechanical integrity during storage. However, these still under development, they have not overcome lab scale yet. This work explores novel matrices expand m...
