In this study, in situ polydeoxyribonucleotide-impregnated hydroxyapatite (PDRN/HA) was coated on a magnesium (Mg) substrate to form biocompatible HA layer by chemical conversion for effective PDRN delivery. The showed needle-like morphology, and the impregnation did not affect coating structure. loading amount of via proposed method 2.5 times higher than that conventional dipping method. An vi...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES It is crucial to decrease bleeding during functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Our primary goal was to investigate the effects of magnesium sulfate and dexmedetomidine used for controlled hypotension on the visibility of the surgical site. METHODS 60 patients aged between 18 and 65 years were enrolled. In the magnesium sulfate group (Group M), patients were administe...

Novel Mg (0.58, 0.97, 1.98 and 2.5) vol. % TiN nanocomposites containing titanium nitride (TiN) nanoparticulates of ~20 nm size are successfully synthesized by a disintegrated melt deposition technique followed by hot extrusion. Microstructural characterization of Mg-TiN nanocomposites indicate significant grain refinement with Mg 2.5 vol. % TiN exhibiting a minimum grain size of ~11 μm. X-ray ...

BACKGROUND AND AIM Transnasal transsphenoidal resection of pituitary tumours is associated with blood loss and wide fluctuations in haemodynamic parameters. The aim of the present study was to compare the effect of dexmedetomidine and magnesium sulphate during the transsphenoidal resection of pituitary tumours. METHODS The study was a double-blind, randomised study and included 152 patients c...

BACKGROUND Unintended consequences of computerized patient care system interventions may increase resource use, foster clinical errors, and reduce users' confidence. OBJECTIVE To evaluate three successive interventions designed to reduce serum magnesium test ordering through a care provider order entry system (CPOE). The second, modeled after a previously successful intervention, caused parad...

Behavioral studies have suggested an involvement of the glutamate pathway in the mechanism of action of anxiolytic drugs, including the NMDA receptor complex. It was shown that magnesium, an NMDA receptor inhibitor, exhibited anxiolytic-like activity in the elevated plus-maze test in mice. The purpose of the present study was to examine interaction between magnesium and benzodiazepine/GABA(A) r...

A new noncatenated metal-organic framework containing pendant alcohol functionalities was synthesized. The alcohols were then post-synthetically converted to either lithium or magnesium alkoxides, with the incorporated metals anchored far from nodes or carboxylate functionalities. The metal alkoxide sites can be obtained stoichiometrically while maintaining the permanent porosity and large surf...
