Background:Magnesium has anti-nociceptive effects and potentiates opioid analgesia following its systemic and neuraxial administration. In our study, the effect of intravenous magnesium sulphate in pre-eclamptic patients on spinal anaesthesia produced by bupivacaine was investigated. Materials and Methods:Sixty pregnant (30 normal and 30 pre-eclamptic) patients were enrolled in this study in tw...

An indigenous bacterium, Bacillus REP02, was isolated from locally sourced chromium electroplating industrial effluents. Response surface methodology was employed to optimize the five critical medium parameters responsible for higher % Cr(2+) removal by the bacterium Bacillus REP02. A three-level Box-Behnken factorial design was used to optimize K2HPO4, yeast extract, MgSO4, NH4NO3, and dextros...

Effect of salts (Na2SO4, Na2CO3, MgSO4, NaCl, MgCl2), soil extract and polyethylene glycol (PEG-6000) on the germination of Chenopodium glaucum L., seed was studied. Maximum germination was obtained in distilled water. Germination decreased with increase in salinity. The inhibition of germination by salt solutions was in the order of MgCl2 > Na2SO4 > Na2CO3 > NaCl > Soil extract > MgSO4. Germin...

The plumes naturally erupting from the icy satellite Enceladus were sampled by Cassini spacecraft in high-speed fly-bys, which gave evidence of salt. This raises question how salt behaves under impact, and it can best be future missions to such plumes. We present results 35 impacts onto aluminum targets a variety salts (NaCl, NaHCO3, MgSO4, MgSO4·7H2O) at speeds 0.26 7.3 km s?1. Using SEM-EDX, ...

Abstract Float tanks are recreational water baths with high concentrations of MgSO4 used for sensory deprivation. Documentation on standard operating practices within float tank facilities is lacking, which useful understanding the need regulation. The goal this study was to explore typical by issuing a questionnaire US treatment, testing, replacement and other maintenance methods. survey compl...

In this work, inulinase was produced by solid state fermentation by Streptomyces sp. using copra waste as carbon source. The nutrients were screened by Plackett-Burman design. From the pareto chart it was found that the nutrients, namely, soya bean cake, MgSO4·7H2O and (NH4)2SO4 were found to be most significant nutrient components. Hence, these three components were selected for further optimi...
