A case is presented in which amiodarone was administered to suppress paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in a patient with an idiopathic cardiomyopathy. Eleven days after initiation of therapy with amiodarone, the patient experienced syncope and was noted to have recurrent episodes of polymorphous ventricular tachycardia. The patient was hospitalized and treated with a bolus as well as continuous in...

Magnesium is necessary for the presynaptic release of acetylcholine from nerve endings and may produce effects similar to calciumentry-blocking drugs [1]. With the discovery of the N-methylD-aspartate (NMDA) receptor and its links to nociceptive pain transmission and central sensitization, there has been renewed interest in utilizing noncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonists, as potential antihy...

Background: Germinal matrix hemorrhage and intraventricular hemorrhage (GMH-IVH) are among the causes of morbidity and mortality in very low birth weight (VLBW) neonates. The aim of this study was to determine the postnatal prophylactic effect of magnesium sulfate on GMH-IVH.Methods: In this double-blind clinical trial, 140 VLBW newborns were selected. The babies with birth weight ≤ 1500 ...
