...Anne E. Richter; Sicco A. Scherjon; Riksta Dikkers; Arend F. Bos; Elisabeth M.W. Kooi Introduction: Magnesium sulfate (MgSO 4 ) is frequently administered for maternal and fetal neuroprotection in preeclampsia (PE) and imminent preterm birth, respectively. Objective: To assess whether MgSO 4...

...Michel Mikhael; Cheryl Bronson; Lishi Zhang; Mark Curran; Helen Rodriguez; Kushal Y. Bhakta Background: Recent studies reported conflicting results on the relationship between antenatal magnesium sulfate (MgSO 4 ) exposure and neonatal intestinal injury. Most studies have not assessed MgSO 4...

...D. Noone; E. Kieran; E.J. Molloy Background: Evidence that antenatal administration of magnesium sulfate (MgSO 4 ) to women in preterm labor may confer fetal neuroprotection is growing. MgSO 4 crosses the placenta and can affect the neonate. Magnesium homeostasis in extremely low birth weight (ELBW...

... be measurable effects of MgSO 4 exposure within the hours immediately after birth. Trials that prospectively evaluate the development of intestinal blood flow velocities are needed to further clarify potential effects of antenatal MgSO 4 on the gastrointestinal tract of preterm infants. Magnesium sulfate...

... agents; magnesium sulfate and melatonin, administered alone or in combination, on brain infarct volume and TUNEL positivity in a neonatal hypoxic-ischemic (HI) rat model. Methods: After being anesthetized, 7-day-old pups (n = 80) underwent ischemia followed by exposure to hypoxia for 2 h. The pups were...

...Katsuaki Toyoshima; Kazuo Momma; Toshio Nakanishi Background: Magnesium sulfate (MgSO 4 ) is used therapeutically for eclampsia and tocolysis. Some reports have suggested a relationship between therapeutic MgSO 4 and patent ductus arteriosus (DA) in preterm infants. Objectives: To clarify patent DA...
