This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation of magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) during late gestation and lactation on sow and litter performance, fecal moisture, blood biochemistry parameters, immunoglobulin levels and milk composition in sows. Forty-eight sows (Yorkshire×Landrace, 4th to 5th parity) were randomly allocated to 1 of 4 dietary treatments suppleme...

BACKGROUND Chondrotoxic effects of local anaesthetics are well reported in humans and some animal species but knowledge on their toxic effects on synoviocytes or equine chondrocytes or the effects on cellular production of inflammatory cytokines is limited. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the in vitro effects of local anaesthetics, morphine, magnesium sulphate (MgSO4) or their combina...

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...

BACKGROUND Magnesium sulphate (MgSO4) is the only treatment approved for fetal neuroprotection. No information on its use is available in the absence of a national registry of neonatal practices. The objective of our study was to evaluate the use of MgSO4 for fetal neuroprotection in French tertiary maternity hospitals (FTMH). METHODS Online and phone survey of all FTMH between August 2014 an...

objective(s): febrile seizures (fs) are the most common type of convulsive events among children. its prevalence has been estimated to be 2-5% in children between 3 months and 5 years old. also, blood and csf magnesium levels have been demonstrated to be reduced in children with fs. this study investigates the effect of mgso4 pretreatment on the behaviors caused by hyperthermia (ht) and effect ...

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect giving ratio Calcium Hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) and Magnesium Sulfate (MgSO4) with different doses on growth white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) production in freshwater media. This research conducted by experimental method using Completely Randomized Design (CRD). parameter studied how addition Ca(OH)2 Sulfat lime maintenance container 5 treatment...

BACKGROUND Drugs with antihypertensive action are frequently used in obstetrics for the treatment of preeclampsia (labetalol) and tocolysis (nifedipine) or for neuroprotection (MgSO4), and may affect the hemodynamics of preterm born neonates. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess whether maternal antihypertensive drugs affect multisite oxygenation levels of the neonate. METHODS Eigh...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association of intrapartum magnesium sulfate for fetal neuroprotection (MgSO4-FN) with the delivery room resuscitation and neonatal outcomes of preterm infants in an era of minimisation of invasive mechanical ventilation. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Neonatal intensive care units in the Canadian Neonatal Network. PATIENTS AND INTERVENTION Preterm in...

BACKGROUND Magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) is the most effective seizure prophylaxis in the management of severe pre-eclampsia, and its use is progressively spreading in our environment. It was introduced at the pioneer teaching hospital of southeastern Nigeria in 2007. A study on the outcome of its use is therefore necessary. OBJECTIVES The objective was to determine the effect of introducing MgSO...
