Background: The infusion of citrate during apheresis may affect the levels of ionized magnesium in the blood. Hypomagnesemia and concomitant hypocalcemia could influence the parathormone response and could be responsible for some of the symptoms observed during apheresis.
Study Design And Methods: The study reports measurement of ionized magnesium by the new ion-selective electrode technique in response to citrate infusion in 15 donors undergoing continuous flow high-yield plateletpheresis. The monitoring included measurement of ionized calcium and parathormone every 30 minutes during the 120-minute apheresis (plus the next 30 minutes to assess recovery).
Results: Ionized magnesium fell by 30 +/- 4 percent (mean +/- SD, p<0.01), which contrasts with minor changes in total concentrations. Comparison of variations in the levels of ionized and total magnesium found major formation of complexes during citrate infusion. Ionized calcium fell by 15 +/- 3 percent (p<0.01), while parathormone peaked at 356 +/- 114 percent (p<0.01) of initial value after 30 minutes. Ionized cations and parathormone recovered by more than 50 percent within 30 minutes of the end of apheresis.
Conclusion: An acute and steep drop in ionized magnesium occurs during citrate administration. The measurement of ionized magnesium should be included in future prospective studies of donor safety and parathormone regulation during apheresis.

Background: Early onset hypocalcemia, occurring within 3 days of birth, is prevalent among preterm infants. A central line is required to deliver calcium (Ca). The prediction of hypocalcemia is therefore clinically important when the requirement for initial intravascular calcium administration is anticipated.

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.

Lipid A, a well-known saccharolipid, acts as the inner lipid-glycan anchor of lipopolysaccharides in Gram-negative bacterial cell membranes and functions as an endotoxin. Its structure is composed of two glucosamines with β(1 → 6) linkages and various fatty acyl and phosphate groups. The lipid A structure can be used for the identification of bacterial species, but its complexity poses significant structural characterization challenges.

Background: The serum calcification propensity test (or T50 test) might become a standard tool for the assessment of vascular calcification risk and T50 might be a valuable biomarker in clinical trials of treatments intended to slow the progression of vascular calcification. Literature data suggest that non-calcium-containing phosphate binders can influence T50 in chronic dialysed patients. However, it is not clear whether similar interventions are effective in patients at earlier stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Pediatric asthma exacerbations represent a significant cause of emergency department use and hospitalizations. Despite available treatment options, many children's exacerbations are refractory to standard therapies and require adjunct treatments. The Intravenous Magnesium: Prompt use for Asthma in Children Treated in the Emergency Department study investigated the pharmacology of intravenous magnesium sulfate (IVMg) in treating pediatric asthma exacerbations.
