Background/objectives: The biostimulant SuperFifty, produced from the brown algae , can improve crop quality and yield and mitigate stress tolerance in model and crop plants such as , pepper, and tomato. However, the effect of SuperFifty on raspberries and strawberries has not been well studied, especially in terms of nutritional properties and yield. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of SuperFifty on the quality and quantity of raspberry and strawberry fruits, with a focus on metabolic composition and essential elements, which together determine the nutritional properties and total yield of these two crops.

Magnesium is an important co-factor that helps regulates the movement of ions through voltage-mediated channels within myocardial tissues by the membrane sodium-potassium pump, and its deficiency can reduce the pump's activity, leading to partial depolarization and changes in the activity of many potential-dependent membrane channels leading to arrhythmias. In this case report, we are looking to establish the direct relationship between hypomagnesemia caused by proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), which could lead to cardiac arrhythmias. Here, we present a 45-year-old Hispanic female, with a known past medical history of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), hiatal hernia on proton pump inhibitor (PPI), and chronic smoking, who presented to the emergency department complaining of dizziness and palpitations that started two hours prior arrival to the hospital.

Article Synopsis
  • Magnesium (Mg) is a crucial intracellular cation involved in various essential cellular processes like protein synthesis, energy production, and DNA stability, and its imbalance can lead to cell growth issues and metabolic problems.* -
  • The review highlights the differences and similarities between prokaryotic and eukaryotic Mg transporters, noting the conserved structures of several prokaryotic transporters and their evolutionary significance.* -
  • In eukaryotes, Mg channels like TRPM6 and TRPM7 also play a vital role in Mg transport, integrating multiple regulatory pathways, emphasizing the importance of understanding both prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems for a comprehensive view of Mg transport mechanisms.*

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a multifactorial disease affecting the immune system and many tissues in the body. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of magnesium supplementation on insulin resistance and fasting blood sugar (FBS) of patients with RA. In this prospective uncontrolled before-after study, RA patients referring to Rheumatology clinics of Qom City from January 2020 to January 2021 were evaluated.
