We investigated the role of extracellular magnesium on capillary endothelial cel migration and proliferation, components of endothelial cell function that play an important role in angiogenesis and wound healing. Cell migration and proliferation were tested in six different MgSO4 concentrations and in various culture conditions. The Boyden chamber procedure was used to evaluate migration of bov...

conclusions: the reduction of propofol injection pain was observed by using medications (in comparison with normal saline), but it was more significant in groups g and l. moreover, hypotension was higher in groups s and g and it was lessened in group p. patients and methods: this is an interventional study containing 336 patients underwent elective orthopedic surgeries in educational hospitals ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Pilot clinical trials using magnesium sulfate in patients with acute aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage have reported trends toward improvement in clinical outcomes. This Phase III study aimed to compare intravenous magnesium sulfate infusion with saline placebo among such patients. METHODS We recruited patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage within 48 hours of...

Glucose mobilization and utilization in the periphery and central nervous system are important during exercise and are responsible for exercise efficacy. Magnesium (Mg) is involved in energy production and plays a role in exercise performance. This study aimed to explore the effects of Mg on the dynamic changes in glucose and lactate levels in the muscle, blood and brain of exercising rats usin...

In this study, Plackett-Burman design was used to identify the most influential parameters affecting PUFA production by Kocuria sp. BRI 35 isolated from Antarctic water sample. Amongst 10 variables evaluated, magnesium chloride, protease peptone, glucose, and temperature were significant. Response surface methodology consisting of a central composite design was developed to study the interactio...

Introduction We evaluated the potential benefits of adding magnesium sulphate (MgSO4) to ketamine (K) in a patient controlled analgesia (PCA) model with tramadol (T) on postoperative pain and cognitive function in major abdominal surgery. Methods Twenty-four abdominal open surgery patients were included in a double-blind, randomized study. After extubation a PCA pump with T was placed to promot...

STUDY OBJECTIVES We examine the safety and efficacy of magnesium sulfate infusion, in addition to usual care, for acute rate reduction in patients with atrial fibrillation and a rapid ventricular response rate. METHODS This was a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of intravenous magnesium sulfate in adult emergency department patients with rapid atrial fibrillatio...

BACKGROUND Arrhythmia is a common complication after heart surgery and is a major source of morbidity and mortality. AIMS This study aimed to study the effect of magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) for reduction of postcardiac surgery arrhythmia. SETTING AND DESIGN This study is performed in the cardiac operating room and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Shahid Madani Hospital of Tabriz (Iran) between Ja...

The atmosphere contains 3400 trillion gallons of water vapor, which would be enough to cover the entire Earth with a one-inch layer water. As air humidity is available everywhere, it acts as an abundant renewable reservoir, known atmospheric efficiency harvesting system depends on sorption capacities water-based absorption materials. Using anhydrous salts efficient process in capturing and deli...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the outcome of the use of MgSO4 therapy in women with severe pre-eclampsia in Kuwait from January 2002 to December 2004. SUBJECTS AND METHODS The study involved 450 women managed at the Maternity Hospital in Kuwait with a blood pressure of 160/110 mm Hg and proteinuria of >0.3-5 g/24 h. A loading dose of 4 g MgSO4 was administered intravenously over 20 min and then the m...
