Background: Magnesium premedication is reported to have a significant effect on reducing cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity in several types of cancer. However, the effectiveness of magnesium administration in reducing nephrotoxicity remains unknown in esophageal cancer, especially regarding neoadjuvant therapy.

Methods: Between January 2017 and January 2019, 105 patients who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery were included in this study. Of these patients, 40 received intravenous magnesium premedication (magnesium group), whereas the remaining 65 did not (control group). We investigated the -association between magnesium premedication and chemotherapy-related nephrotoxicity.

Results: Baseline characteristics, such as age, body mass index, clinical stage, comorbidity, and pretreatment renal function, were not significantly different -between the magnesium and control groups. Clinical and -pathological responses were similar between the 2 groups. Regarding chemotherapy-related toxicity, there were no significant differences in hematological side effects, such as anemia, thrombopenia, and neutropenia, between both groups. However, nephrotoxicity of grade 2 and higher was significantly less frequent in the magnesium group than in the control group (2.5 vs. 21.5%, p = 0.0026), although there was no significant difference in the incidence of other nonhematological adverse events, such as nausea and diarrhea. Multivariate analysis indicated magnesium premedication and heart disease as independent factors associated with cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity (p = 0.0026 and p = 0.0424, respectively).

Conclusion: We showed that intravenous magnesium premedication exerts a protective effect against renal dysfunction in esophageal cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy including high-dose cisplatin. Large-scale prospective studies are needed to confirm the effect of magnesium premedication on reducing nephrotoxicity in esophageal cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant therapy.

Aim And Objective: The purpose of the study is to compare the effects of rocuronium priming with the combined technique of magnesium pretreatment and rocuronium priming and to investigate whether this pretreatment could further accelerate the onset of neuromuscular blockade during intubation.

Materials And Methods:  A double-blinded randomized controlled trial (RCT) clinical study was done on patients at a tertiary care center for six months after obtaining approval from the institutional ethical committee. A total of 150 patients were randomly allocated as Group MP (infusion of 50 mg/kg of MgSo4 over 10 min was given 10 mins prior to premedication and dose of rocuronium 0.

Article Synopsis
  • Cisplatin (CDDP) is an effective anticancer drug, but its use can lead to severe kidney damage known as CDDP-induced nephrotoxicity (CIN).
  • Magnesium sulfate (Mg) premedication has been shown to help prevent CIN, but the optimal dosage for this effect was unclear.
  • A meta-analysis of 17 studies found a significant dose-dependent relationship between Mg dosage and the prevention of CIN, indicating that higher doses of Mg (10 mEq or more) are more effective.

Background and aims Laryngoscopy and intubation cause an increased sympatho-adrenergic pressor response, which can be detrimental to patients with coronary artery disease, hypertension, etc. Various drugs and manoeuvres have been tried to reduce the pressor response with acceptable results but the quest for the ideal drug still continues. Hence, we planned to compare the effects of magnesium sulfate with paracetamol and fentanyl with lignocaine on attenuating the hemodynamic responses due to direct laryngoscopy and intubation and to note the complications of these drugs.

Objective: Cisplatin is a widely used and potent cytotoxic chemotherapy agent, but its nephrotoxicity is a significant limiting side effect. Various premedication approaches have been implemented to preserve renal function, including magnesium (Mg) preloading. However, the optimal Mg dosage is still unknown.
