Background: Stroke is the third leading cause of mortality worldwide. One of the factors that affect the occurrence of stroke can be attributed to changes in the levels of trace elements. Accumulating evidence has been shown that magnesium, as an important element, is a new predictor of stroke. We aimed to determine the levels of Mg in ischemic stroke patients in comparison with those having th...

The binary transition metal magnesium compounds RhMg3 and Ir3Mg13 have been synthesized from the elements in sealed niobium tubes and investigated on the basis of X-ray powder and single crystal data: Cu3P type, P63cm, a = 790.5(4), c = 825.6(3) pm, wR2 = 0.0244, 344 F2 values, 27 variable parameters for RhMg3, and R3̄c, a = 1607.0(2), c = 844.88(9) pm, wR2 = 0.0535, 656 F2 values, 29 variable p...

BACKGROUND Neonates and infants with hypomagnesemia present with seizures and psychomotor delay. OBJECTIVES The present study evaluated the changes in magnesium (Mg) levels and factors associated with these in the first three days of life. MATERIALS AND METHODS We monitored 50 clinically asymptomatic neonates; they were not given any magnesium supplements even if they had hypomagnesemia at ...

Background: Pre-eclampsia along with its complications seems to be one of the major causes of maternal morbidity and mortality. Despite numerous studies, the etiology of pre-eclampsia has not yet been fully elucidated. According to recent studies changes in the level of blood trace elements can be an adverse event in human and animal pregnancy. The present study determines whether maternal seru...

In the following research, Lead magnesium niobate relaxor ferroelectric (PMN-PZT) ceramic powders were synthesized using the combustion method grand urea as the fuel for the first time. The starting materials used were lead nitrate, magnesium acetate, niobium oxide, zirconium nitrate, titanium oxide.     The raw materials were first mixed using the general formula of (1-x)Pb(M...

OBJECTIVE Magnesium plays an important role in glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between serum magnesium levels and diabetic foot ulcers. METHODS A total of 147 subjects were included in this study. The participants were divided into three groups, including a study group of 49 patients with diabetes and foot ulcers, a control...

Many species of bacteria secrete natural products that inhibit the growth or development of competing species. In turn, competitors may develop or acquire resistance to antagonistic molecules. Few studies have investigated the interplay of these countervailing forces in direct competition between two species. We have used an imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) approach to track metabolites exchange...
