BACKGROUND Martian regolith (unconsolidated surface material) is a potential medium for plant growth in bioregenerative life support systems during manned missions on Mars. However, hydrated magnesium sulfate mineral levels in the regolith of Mars can reach as high as 10 wt%, and would be expected to be highly inhibitory to plant growth. METHODOLOGY AND PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Disabling ion transp...

objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of zinc and magnesium supplementation on glycemic control and serum insulin in type 2 diabetic patients. materials and methods: in this randomized clinical trial 70 diabetic patients who referred to yazd diabetes center were selected. subjects received 500 mg/day magnesium oxide or 100 mg/day zinc sulfate randomly for 8 weeks. at the s...

conclusions both remifentanil and magnesium had favorable outcomes in preventing hr and map elevation after tracheal extubation. however, remifentanil was associated with more rapid regaining of consciousness and reversal of muscular relaxation. results the hr was significantly lower, immediately after extubation and 3, 5, and 10 minutes after extubation, in both magnesium and remifentanil grou...

IMPORTANCE Antenatal magnesium sulfate given to pregnant women at imminent risk of very preterm delivery reduces the risk of cerebral palsy in early childhood, although its effects into school age have not been reported from randomized trials. OBJECTIVE To determine the association between exposure to antenatal magnesium sulfate and neurological, cognitive, academic, and behavioral outcomes a...

INTRODUCTION Permeability changes in the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and their possible contribution to brain edema formation have a crucial role in the pathophysiology of septic encephalopathy. Magnesium sulfate has been shown to have a protective effect on BBB integrity in multiple experimental models. In this study we determine whether magnesium sulfate administration could have any protective...

Patients with cluster headaches have been reported to have low serum ionized magnesium levels. We examined the possibility that patients with cluster headaches and low ionized magnesium levels may respond to an intravenous infusion of magnesium sulfate. Thirty-eight infusions of magnesium sulfate were given to 22 patients with cluster headaches. The mean ionized magnesium level prior to 23 infu...

The authors examined the relation between intrapartum magnesium sulfate exposure and risk of cerebral palsy in a case-control study of low birth weight children designed to control for confounding by the clinical indications for magnesium in pregnancy. Case children (n = 97) included all singleton children with cerebral palsy who were born in 1985-1989 in Atlanta, Georgia with a birth weight le...

The vasodilatory effect of intra-cisternal infusion of magnesium sulfate solution was evaluated in 10 patients with symptomatic vasospasm after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) who underwent early clipping surgery. Cisternal drainage was installed in the prepontine and/or sylvian fissures. Carotid angiography was performed immediately after the onset of symptomatic vasospasm, then intra...
