Abstract
Oral and intravenous replacement of minerals such as magnesium and calcium are usually straightforward in clinical practice, the choice generally being governed by the preparation most readily available. There are very few data comparing efficacy and absorption profiles of different magnesium salts. This case report highlights the importance of considering alternative preparations of oral magnesium salts in patients who appear unresponsive to one preparation, rather than moving on to chronic intravenous therapy via a Hickman line. In the case of patients with small bowel shortening, the use of magnesium oxide should be considered.

A pilot study on the effects of magnesium supplementation with high and low habitual dietary magnesium intake on resting and recovery from aerobic and resistance exercise and systolic blood pressure
Kass, Lindsy; Skinner, Phillip; Poeira, Jose Filipe (2013-03)The effects of magnesium supplementation on blood pressure (BP) have been studied for over 25 years and results have been inconsistent. Blood pressure reductions in randomized studies have varied from 12 mmHg reductions ... -

Pitkin, Luke William (University of Hertfordshire, 2014-12-12)Objective: The objectives of this study were to determine if there is a significant effect on blood pressure, serum levels of magnesium and sports performance including 1RM and 10 kilometre running time trial following ... -
Effects of submerged convective cooling on turning of AZ31 magnesium alloy: Tool temperature and wear improvements
Zakaria, Muhammad Syamil; Mustapha, Mazli; Azmi, Azwan Iskandar; Ahmad, Azlan; Ismail, Sikiru Oluwarotimi; Shuaib, Norshah Aizat (2022-03-02)Low melting point and material adhesion are associated challenges of magnesium alloy, leading to extreme built-up edge (BUE) and built-up layer (BUL) formations during machining process. Dry machining is favorable for ...
