BACKGROUND In the present study, we used Doppler velocimetry in the ophthalmic artery to evaluate the hemodynamic status of the intracranial vasculature. This is the first time in the literature that indices of ophthalmic artery Doppler sonography of women with preeclampsia were evaluated before and after the use of magnesium sulfate to prevent eclampsia. CASE PRESENTATION Indices of ophthalm...

conclusions magnesium infiltration did not decrease total dose and number of episodes needed for morphine rescue analgesic. bupivacaine infiltration into surgical site was more effective than magnesium sulfate infiltration in postoperative pain control. objectives to compare postoperative analgesic effect of infiltration of magnesium versus bupivacaine into incision of inguinal hernia repair. p...

organophosphorous (op) chemical warfare nerve agents mainly sarin and tabun were used during the iran-iraq war with high mortalities. in addition to atropine and oximes, the followings have recently been used successfully for the treatment of op poisoning. 1. sodium bicarbonate: infusion of high doses of sodium bicarbonate (5 meq/kg in 60 min. followed by 5-6 meq/kg/day to obtain arterial blood...

and only three incorporated inorganic sulfate into their microbial proteins when cysteine was present in the medium. One of these cultures, Lachnospira mvltiparus, incorporated about equal amounts of inorganic sulfate into glutathione and microbial protein when cysteine was present in the medium; but failed to form radioactive glutathione when S35 labeled inorganic sulfate was the only source o...

Because ketamine and magnesium block NMDA receptor activation by distinct mechanisms of action, we hypothesized that in a model of inflammatory pain in rats the combination of ketamine and magnesium might be more effective than ketamine alone. Antinociceptive activity was assessed by the formalin test in male Wistar rats (200-250 g). Animals were injected with 100 μL of 2.5% formalin to the pla...

Introduction In the United States, parenteral magnesium sulfate has been used for the prevention of recurrent seizures in patients with eclampsia for over 80 years. As a natural extension to its use for the treatment of eclamptic convulsions in the United States, magnesium sulfate was then adopted for seizure prophylaxis in women with varying degrees of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. In 1...

BACKGROUND Studies of IV magnesium sulfate as a treatment for acute asthma have had mixed results, with some data suggesting a benefit for acute severe asthma, but not for mild-to-moderate asthma. In a multicenter cohort, this study tests the hypothesis that administration of magnesium sulfate improves pulmonary function in patients with acute severe asthma. DESIGN Placebo-controlled, double-...

The growth form of a vine profoundly influences its overall performance as well as many aspects of a grower's vine management. Therefore, I place the choice of a vine training system fourth in importance when establishing a new vineyard after: (1) whether or not to plant a vineyard, (2) the site for the vineyard, and (3) the variety/rootstock combination to be planted. The increasing recognitio...
