OBJECTIVE To review the components of calcium, phosphate and magnesium metabolism that are relevant to the critically ill patient, in a two-part presentation. DATA SOURCES A review of articles reported on calcium, phosphate and magnesium disorders in the critically ill patient. SUMMARY OF REVIEW Abnormal calcium metabolism in the critically ill patient often presents with an alteration in p...

Magnesium ion (Mg(2+)) and calcium ion (Ca(2+)) control a diverse and important range of cellular processes, such as gene transcription, cell proliferation, neoplastic transformation, immune response and therapeutic treatment. Their characteristic biologic antagonism makes it important to treat the most important aspects of that competitive behavior together. This synopsis aims to be a useful m...

The concentration of bivalent cations affects a large number of processes that occur in the oro-maxillary region. A connection has been established between chronic periodontitis, on one side, and the salivary concentration of calcium, magnesium, zinc and copper and the concentration of magnesium in blood, on the other. Patients with suppurations on oro-maxillo-facial area show decreased blood c...

in this study, the feasibility of using magnetic technology to reduce the dispersion of soil has been investigated. the reference treatment was potable water and 3 magnetic water devices (with different magnetic intensities) were used for magnetizing the potable water. the results showed that the magnetic field has a significant effect in order of 5 percent on increasing of magnesium concentrat...

Magnesium plays a role in calcium metabolism and hypomagnesaemia can lead to hypocalcaemia.1 Recently it has been recognised that prolonged aminoglycoside therapy can cause hypomagnesaemia.2 3 We have recently observed tetany associated with low serum levels of both calcium and magnesium in a patient receiving gentamicin, which resolved when the gentamicin was stopped and the serum magnesium wa...

Different Aluminum: alkaline earth metal atomic weight ratios effects on structure transformations in alanates nanopowders were studied. Changes in crystal structures from alane to alanates by increasing alkaline earth metals dopants in the mixture with slight changes in crystal structures from rhombohedral centered – trigonal (alane) to trigonal (magnesium alanate), and monoclinic (calcium ala...

Pollen viability and its germination capability for fruit set in are almond and peach essential. To optimize the pollen culture medium of almond and peach and selection of best medium, the present study was carried out with 48 different culture media containing different compositions including diverse levels of boric acid (0 and 100mg/1), calcium nitrate (0,150and300mg/l،), magnesium sulphate (...

A total of approximately 1-1.5kg of body weight is made up of calcium where 99% is found in the bones and teeth and remaining 1% is in the ECF and other compartments. Ca exists as carbonates or phosphates of calcium within the body, while in the plasma they exist in either the ionized form(which is the physiologically active form), bound to plasma proteins(mainly albumin) or complexes with orga...
