To evaluate the evidence of effects and safety of magnesium sulfate on neuroprotection for preterm infants who had exposure in uteri. We searched electronic databases and bibliographies of relevant papers to identify studies comparing magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) with placebo or other treatments in patients at high risk of preterm labor and reporting effects and safety of MgSO4 for antenatal infan...

UNLABELLED The objective of this study was to evaluate usage possibilities of magnesium sulfate in anesthesiology. METHODOLOGY In Clinic of Cardiac Surgery, Kaunas University of Medicine magnesium sulfate was started for use as an adjuvant to anesthetics. For anesthesia it was used in 20 cases. This review article presents the methodology based on which the magnesium sulfate anesthesia was gi...

The effects of pressure on the crystal structure of the three known polymorphs of magnesium sulfate (α-MgSO4, β-MgSO4, and γ-MgSO4) have been theoretically studied by means of density-functional theory calculations up to 45 GPa. We determined that under ambient conditions γ-MgSO4 is an unstable polymorph, which decomposes into MgO + SO3, and that the response of the other two polymorphs to hydr...

Magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) is used to treat and prevent eclamptic seizures, and several anticonvulsant drugs (e.g., sodium valproate) are clinically effective antimanic drugs. Psychostimulant-induced hyperlocomotion has been proposed as an animal model for the study of antimanic drugs. The present study evaluated the effects of MgSO4 and sodium valproate (as a positive control) on hyperlocomotio...

The surface of Europa could contain the compositional imprint of a underlying interior ocean, but competing hypotheses differ over whether spectral observations from the Galileo spacecraft show the signature of ocean evaporates or simply surface radiation products unrelated to the interior. Using adaptive optics at the W.M. Keck Observatory, we have obtained spatially resolved spectra of most o...

Abnormal serum sodium levels are frequently observed among patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and may worsen cerebral edema or mass effect. Low serum potassium levels (hypokalemia) are also common among patients with aneurysmal SAH and are associated with prolonged QT interval and ventricular arrhythmia. Recent meta-analysis suggests that MgSO4 infusion improves the clinical...

OBJECTIVE In the present study, the effects of magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) on tissue lactate and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels after spinal cord trauma (SCT) in rabbits were studied. SUBJECTS Thirty New Zeland rabbits. Interventions. The rabbits were divided equally into three groups: group I was the sham- operated group, group II suffered from SCT but received no treatment, group III was given ...

INTRODUCTION Magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) is the drug of choice for the prevention and control of seizures in the management of severe preeclampsia/eclampsia. Several barriers have been identified in the use of MgSO4, especially in low and middle-income settings. OBJECTIVE To describe the obstetrician's perception on possible reasons for underutilizing magnesium sulfate to treat preeclampsia/ecl...

A metabolism trial was conducted to assess some effects of magnesium alloy rumen bullets and magnesium sulfate on magnesium and calcium utilization in wether lambs fed a basal, semipurified diet (800 g/day) that contained .08% magnesium and .42% calcium. Four sheep were assigned randomly to each of four treatments: basal diet only (BD); basal diet plus two commercial magnesium bullets per anima...

UNLABELLED We aimed to use celecoxib to suppress preterm labor instead magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) to prevent preterm labor. METHODS It was a randomized clinical trial study, which was done on 600 pregnant women. All subjects were divided into two groups by simple random sampling. One group was given 4 grams of MgSO4 intravenously and second group was given 100 mg of celecoxib orally every 12 h...
