Intakes of magnesium, potassium, and calcium and the risk of stroke among men
ConclusionsA diet rich in magnesium, potassium, and calcium may contribute to reduced risk of stroke among men. Because of significant collinearity, the independent contribution of each cation is difficult to define.

Methodology of the Field Administration of Stroke Therapy – Magnesium (FAST‐MAG) phase 3 trial: Part 2 – prehospital study methods
DiscussionThe suite of prehospital trial methods developed for the FAST‐MAG Trial enable enrollment of patients in very early time windows, including the hyperacute, ‘golden hour’ period immediately after stroke onset.

Methodology of the Field Administration of Stroke Therapy – Magnesium (FAST‐MAG) phase 3 trial: Part 1 – rationale and general methods
RationalePrehospital initiation by paramedics may enable delivery of neuroprotective therapies to stroke patients in the hyperacute period when they are most effective in preclinical studies. Magnesium is neuroprotective in experimental stroke models and has been shown to be safe with signals of potential efficacy when started early after onset of human cerebral ischemia. Aims(a) To demonstrate that paramedic initiation of the neuroprotective agent magnesium sulfate in the field is an efficacious and safe treatment for acute stroke; (b) To demonstrate that field enrollment of acute stroke patients is a practical and feasib...
