Deranged magnesium concentrations in serum and cardiovascular structures have been implicated in the pathophysiology of hypertension, ischemic heart disease, arrhythmias, and sudden death. This study was conducted to determine the status and interrelation of serum and tissue concentrations of magnesium in patients with congestive heart failure, a clinical setting purportedly predisposed to the development of depleted levels of this cation. Magnesium concentrations of serum, circulating mononuclear cells, skeletal muscle, and myocardium were measured in 23 patients with heart failure on standard therapy. Two patients were hypomagnesemic (less than 1.6 meq/l). Poor or no correlations were found between serum and tissue magnesium concentrations and among the magnesium concentrations of the three tissues studied. Strong direct correlations were, however, noted between magnesium and potassium concentrations of the tissues examined. The prevalence of hypomagnesemia in this typical ambulatory heart failure population is relatively low (9%) and serum, circulating mononuclear cell, skeletal muscle, and myocardial magnesium concentrations correlate poorly with each other. Serum, circulating mononuclear cell, and skeletal muscle magnesium concentrations are thus of little predictive value in assessing the status of myocardial magnesium in humans with heart failure.

Association of serum magnesium and calcium with metabolic syndrome: a cross-sectional study from the Qatar-biobank.

Department of Population Medicine, College of Medicine, QU Health, Qatar University, P.O. Box 2713, Doha, Qatar.
Background And Objectives: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its constituent comorbidities, along with mineral imbalances, pose a significant health burden in the Qatari population. Although Magnesium (Mg) and Calcium (Ca) have been individually linked to MetS, the impact of the calcium-to-magnesium ratio (Ca: Mg) on MetS remains unclear, especially in the adult population of Qatar. In this study, we aim to investigate the association between the total serum concentrations of Ca, Mg and Ca: Mg ratio with the outcome of MetS.

Zinc (Zn)-based alloys and composites are anticipated to emerge as a category of degradable metallic biomaterials with exceptional prospects for bone-implant applications owing to their superior biocompatibility and biofunctionality. Unfortunately, the limited strength of Zn alloys in their as-cast state restricts their use in clinical applications. In this study, we started with pure magnesium (Mg) powders and Zn sheets, and successfully fabricated MgZn/Zn composites using accumulative roll bonding (ARB).

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is a pivotal enzyme in nerve conduction, controlling its activity with its inhibitor (AChEI) is crucial for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, current AChEIs are associated with considerable adverse effects. Previous work has identified 2α,3β,19α,23-tetrahydroxy-12-ene-28-oic acid (RLMS) as a promising natural AChEI.

Near-infrared hyperspectral imaging (NIR-HSI) integrated with expert systems can support the monitoring of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and provide effective quality control of tablet formulations. However, existing quality control methods usually test a limited number of variability sources affecting the final product. This study examines the potential of NIR-HSI (in the spectral range of 935.
