Incidence of eclampsia and related complications across 10 low- and middle-resource geographical regions: Secondary analysis of a cluster randomised controlled trial
ConclusionsThe large variation in eclampsia and maternal and neonatal fatality from hypertensive disorders of pregnancy between countries emphasises that inequality and inequity persist in healthcare for women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Alongside the growing interest in improving community detection and health education for these disorders, efforts to improve quality of care within healthcare facilities are key. Strategies to prevent eclampsia should be informed by local data. Trial registrationISRCTN: 41244132.

Factors Influencing Quality of Life in Stroke Patients: Focus on Eating Habits
This study aimed to identify lifestyle factors about eating habits that may affect the quality of life (QOL) in elderly stroke patients. Methods: Fifty elderly patients with a first-ever stroke were enrolled. QOL was assessed by the Stroke and Aphasia QOL Scale-39-J. Lifestyle factors about eating habits were collected using questionnaires (Questions 1-17) for the intake of salt, calcium, magnesium, potassium, taurine, fiber, and protein, and the frequency of breakfast.

Magnesium and health outcomes: an umbrella review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses of observational and intervention studies
ConclusionStrong evidence according to the GRADE suggests that Mg supplementation can decrease the risk of hospitalization in pregnant women and reduce the intensity/frequency of migraine. Higher Mg intake is associated with a decreased risk of type 2 diabetes and stroke with highly suggestive and suggestive evidence, respectively, in observational studies.

Serum magnesium level and hematoma expansion in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage
Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating subtype of stroke that results in significant rates of mortality and morbidities. The initial hematoma volume, hematoma expansion (HE), blood pressure (BP), and coagulopathy are considered strong predictors of clinical outcomes and mortality. Low serum magnesium (Mg++) levels have been shown to be associated with larger initial hematoma and greater HE. Coagulopathy, platelet dysfunction, high BP, and increased inflammatory response might form the mechanistic link between low serum Mg++ levels, larger hematoma size and greater HE.

Outcome of Age-Adapted Approach to HLA-Identical Related Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in Severe Sickle Cell Disease: Saudi Experience
In this study, we reviewed the outcome of SCD patients who underwent transplant at our institution using standard protocols (NMA regimen in patients ≥14 years and myeloablative regimen in < 14 years) to address whether age remains a risk factor that influences HSCT outcome in SCD.Children (<14 years) with severe SCD received myeloablative conditioning using one of two regimens: first regimen was cyclophosphamide (Cy) 200mg/kg, busulfan (Bu) 16mg/kg, and thymoglobulin (ATG) 10mg/kg and recently we use thiotepa 8mg/kg, Bu 16mg/kg, and fludarabine (Flu) 160mg/m2. Bu pharmacokinetics was performed to target AUC of 900...

Episodic Migraine With and Without Aura: Key Differences and Implications for Pathophysiology, Management, and Assessing Risks
AbstractPurpose of ReviewTo review the pathophysiologic, epidemiologic, and clinical evidence for similarities and differences between migraine with and without aura.Recent FindingsThe ICHD-3 has recently refined the diagnostic criteria for aura to include positive symptomatology, which better differentiates aura from TIA. Although substantial evidence supports cortical spreading depression as the cause of visual aura, the role (if any) of CSD in headache pain is not well understood. Recent imaging evidence suggests a possible hypothalamic origin for a headache attack, but further research is needed. Migraine with aura is ...

Why Whole-Fat Milk and Yogurt Are Healthier Than You Think
For years, experts have recommended low-fat dairy products over the full-fat versions, which are higher in calories and contain more saturated fat. Recent research, however, indicates that full-fat dairy may actually be healthier than its reputation suggests, and that people who eat full-fat dairy are not more likely to develop cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes than people who consume low-fat dairy. They may even be less likely to gain weight.
Now, new research published Tuesday in The Lancet, adds to that body of evidence.
The research suggests that eating dairy products of all kinds is associated with a lower ri...

A Pregnancy Complication to Look out for even after Pregnancy
BY GREGORY TAYLOR, DO, & SHERIF G. EL-ALAYLI, DOA 30-year-old G5P3 presented to the ED with bilateral lower-extremity edema and headache for three days. She presented one week after an uncomplicated full-term vaginal delivery with an unremarkable pregnancy course and no prior requirement for antihypertensive therapy. The headache was described as achy to sharp, with associated photophobia. She also noted occasional vaginal spotting, which was common a few weeks after delivery. She denied any chest pain, shortness of breath, nausea or vomiting, abdominal pain, or any other symptoms. She admitted to occasional mild cr...

Phosphate binders for preventing and treating chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD).
CONCLUSIONS: In studies of adults with CKD G5D treated with dialysis, sevelamer may lower death (all causes) compared to calcium-based binders and incur less treatment-related hypercalcaemia, while we found no clinically important benefits of any phosphate binder on cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, fracture or coronary artery calcification. The effects of binders on patient-important outcomes compared to placebo are uncertain. In patients with CKD G2 to G5, the effects of sevelamer, lanthanum, and iron-based phosphate binders on cardiovascular, vascular calcification, and bone outcomes compared to place...

Serum magnesium but not calcium was associated with hemorrhagic transformation in stroke overall and stroke subtypes: a case-control study in China
AbstractAssociation between serum calcium and magnesium versus hemorrhagic transformation (HT) remains to be identified. A total of 1212 non-thrombolysis patients with serum calcium and magnesium collected within 24 h from stroke onset were enrolled. Backward stepwise multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to investigate association between calcium and magnesium versus HT. Calcium and magnesium were entered into logistic regression analysis in two models, separately: model 1, as continuous va riable (per 1-mmol/L increase), and model 2, as four-categorized variable (being collapsed into quartiles). HT oc...

Dietary Magnesium and Chronic Disease
Publication date: May 2018Source: Advances in Chronic Kidney Disease, Volume 25, Issue 3Author(s): Forrest H. NielsenAlthough official magnesium (Mg) dietary reference intakes are open to question, a significant number of adults likely have intakes that are in the range of 50%-99% of the requirement. This moderate or marginal (subclinical) deficient Mg intake generally is asymptomatic. Animal studies, however, indicate that moderate or subclinical Mg deficiency primes phagocytic cells for the release of proinflammatory cytokines leading to chronic inflammatory and oxidative stress. Human studies have found that dietary Mg ...
