OBJECTIVE
To study the effect of oral magnesium oxide supplementation alone and on the activity of standard anti-epileptic drugs in the animal models of maximal electroshock seizures (MES) and chemically (pentylenetetrazole [PTZ])-induced seizures.
METHODS
Healthy male albino rats were given
The Gitelman's syndrome (GS) is characterized by metabolic alkalosis, hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, and hypocalciuria. However, the involvement of this deranged electrolyte balance in patients with GS in parathyroid hormone action has not been known.We BACKGROUND
Some studies showed that magnesium has anticonvulsive effect in some animal models. Despite of the availability of well-studied anticonvulsant drugs, this evaluation was not carried on new kind of magnesium supplement, magnesium oxide nanoparticles (nMgO). According to the association
A 2 5/12-year-old Chinese boy was investigated for refractory seizures and psychomotor regression. His birth history was unremarkable. Generalized seizures occurred at 2 weeks of age with hypocalcemia. They recurred at 7 months of age and have become aggravated since. During hospitalization, in
We report a case of fatal hypermagnesemia resulting from the unsupervised use of high doses of magnesium oxide administered as part of a regimen of megavitamin and megamineral therapy to a child with mental retardation, spastic quadriplegia, and seizures. The treatment regimen was given at the
Hypomagnesemia is a rare cause of seizures in childhood. But should be in mind in recurrent and intractable seizures and hypocalcemia the communities where consanguineous marriages are common. Familial hypomagnesemia with secondary hypocalcemia is a rare genetic cause of hypomagnesemia A female Thai baby born to non-consanguineous parents, presented with primary hypomagnesemia at 10 weeks of age, and suffered recurrent convulsions that responded to magnesium supplementation. She was found to have hypomagnesemia (Mg 0.35-1.02 mEq/L) and a low urinary magnesium excretion of less
