The effects of major mineral salts, L-glutamine, myo-inositol and carbon source on shoot bud proliferation of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) cv. Mejhoul were evaluated. Different concentrations of ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3; 550, 825 or 1650 mg/L), potassium nitrate (KNO3; 633.3, 950 or 1900 mg/L), calcium chloride dehydrate (CaCl2·2H2O; 147, 220 or 440 mg/L), potassium dihydrogen phosphate (...

conclusions this study showed that the addition of intrathecal magnesium sulfate to bupivacaine is not desirable in patients undergoing cesarean section due to the delay in the onset of sensory blockade and the lack of significant effects of magnesium on post-operative pain. results the onset of sensory blockade was delayed in case group compared with control group, and this was statistically s...

conclusions intravenous magnesium sulfate with dose of 15 mg/kg could not prevent laryngospasm and coughing after removal of the endotracheal tube in patients undergoing adenotonsillectomy; however, it reduced coughing and laryngospasm in the magnesium sulfate group compared with the control group. results laryngospasm was not found in the magnesium sulfate group; however, its incidencewas5.7% ...

background new drugs are increasingly used to induce analgesia during surgeries. this study compared the analgesic effects of paracetamol and magnesium sulfate. methods sixty patients with american society of anesthesiologists (asa) class i or ii patients who were candidates for surgery of the lower limbs were randomly divided into three equal groups who were age and gender matched. group 1 rec...

background there have been many concerns about alteration in hemodynamic parameters within and shortly after endotracheal intubation (eti) in patients scheduled for elective coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg). objectives we compared the attenuation effect of magnesium sulfate and lidocaine on hemodynamic responses after eti, in patients undergoing cabg. patients and methods in this randomiz...

BACKGROUND Evidence supports magnesium sulphate (MgSO4) for women at risk of imminent birth at < 32-34 weeks to reduce the likelihood of cerebral palsy in the child. MAGnesium sulphate for fetal neuroprotection to prevent Cerebral Palsy (MAG-CP) was a multifaceted knowledge translation (KT) strategy for this practice. METHODS The KT strategy included national clinical practice guidelines, a n...

In this study, the salt weathering effects on engineering properties and weight loss potential of three types of granitoid rocks were investigated. Sodium and magnesium sulfates tests were performed on core and aggregate samples. The cyclic salt weathering tests on core samples were done up to 90 cycles, while these tests on aggregate samples were done up to 40 cycles. The results showed that d...

Preliminary evidence has suggested that magnesium sulfate infusion reduces delayed ischemic neurological deficit and improves clinical outcome after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. However, little is known about its site of action in vivo. We studied 22 aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage patients with or without magnesium sulfate infusion for 10-14 days. Thirteen patients had external ventr...
