Introduction: Antenatal magnesium sulfate (MgSO) administration has shown to be effective in minimizing cerebral palsy and severe motor dysfunction at the age of 2 years. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between the magnesium dose delivered to the mother and the magnesium concentration in the neonates.
Materials And Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted on neonates of less than 32 weeks' gestation admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit of University Hospital Complex of Vigo from December 2012 to July 2015. Comparative analysis of magnesium levels between the groups of neonates exposed to MgSO and the control group.
Results: A total of 118 neonates were included in the study. The mothers of 62 of them had received MgSO as a neuroprotective agent. There was a significant correlation between the full dose of MgSO received by the mother and the levels of magnesium in the neonate in the first 24 hours of life ( = 0.397; < 0.001).
Conclusion: The MgSO dose received by the mother has a linear relationship with the magnesium levels obtained in neonates.

Virus-laden aerosols play a substantial role in the spread of numerous infectious diseases, particularly in enclosed indoor settings. Ultraviolet-C (UVC) disinfection is known to be a highly efficient method for disinfecting pathogenic airborne viruses. Recent recommendations suggest using far-UVC radiation (222 nm) emitted by KrCl* (krypton-chloride) excimer lamps to disinfect high-risk public spaces due to lower exposure risks than low-pressure (LP) mercury lamps (254 nm).

Validation of Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, and Safe (QuEChERS) method was performed for estimation of imidacloprid (IM) and its metabolites in maize leaves, immature kernels, mature kernels, stalk, and soil using liquid chromatograph tandem mass spectrometry, coupled with electrospray ionization. The extraction in different matrices of maize and soil was performed using acetonitrile +0.1% formic acid followed by clean-up with primary secondary amine sorbent and anhydrous magnesium sulfate.

In the management of pregnancy, ritodrine has been used to prevent preterm birth, and magnesium sulfate (MgSO) has been used to prevent preterm labor and preeclampsia. Neonates born to mothers receiving these medications occasionally show an increase in serum potassium concentration. Recently, an elevated risk of neonatal hyperkalemia has been reported, particularly when ritodrine and MgSO are co-administered; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) emerges as a singular subclass of heart failure, bereft of specific therapeutic options. Magnesium, an indispensable trace element, is essential to the preservation of cardiac integrity. However, the association between magnesium supplementation and mortality in HFpEF patients remains unclear.
