Long-term magnesium sulfate treatment as protection against hypoxic-ischemic brain injury in seven-day-old rats
Article Abstract:
A three-day intravenous infusion of magnesium sulfate reduced the degree of brain injury in rats exposed to low oxygen levels. A single injection of magnesium sulfate may not have the same protective effect because studies have shown that brain magnesium levels are substantially lower than normal hours and even days after the injury.

Intrapartum fetal heart rate monitoring in cases of cytomegalovirus infection
Article Abstract:
Intrapartum fetal heart rate patterns of cytomegalovirus-infected fetuses are studied. As the heart rate patterns of fetuses affected with this virus is abnormal, it is necessary that perinated detection of cytomegalovirus is made.

Pretreatment with magnesium sulfate protects against hypoxic-ischemic brain injury but postasphyxial treatment worsens brain damage in seven-day-old rats
Article Abstract:
Magnesium sulfate can protect the brain from a lack of oxygen but it must be given before the brain is damaged. Magnesium sulfate has been given to pregnant women in premature labor and those with preeclampsia to prevent cerebral palsy in the baby.
