Magnesium Abstracts
edical journals online will show a summary of medical articles. The summary is called an “abstract”. Sometimes just reading the abstract will tell you enough. Sometimes after reading an abstract you might want to read the full article. Then you can go to a medical library or public library and ask them to obtain the article for you. There are 54 abstracts listed, covering magnesium and ADD, asthma, allergies, heart disease, chronic fatigue, depression diabetes, fibromyalgia, high blood pressure, kidney stones, leg cramps, migraines, multiple sclerosis, premenstrual syndrome, pregnancy, preemies, seizures, SIDS, and stress.
Full Journal Articles
On this page we have full journal articles of the selected topics. These are not as easy to create or find so I don’t have as many of them as I do the abstracts. There are 22 articles listed.
Hypomagnesemia
By Shawna Kopchu RN
Hypomagnesemia is a common imbalance in critically ill patients; yet it is frequently overlooked. (Perhaps one reason is that it is easily mistaken for potassium deficit, a condition with which it is often associated.) Magnesium deficit also occurs in less acutely ill individuals, such as those experiencing withdrawal from alcohol and those receiving nourishment after a period of starvation (as in tube feedings or total parental nutrition). Indeed, there are a number of clinical situations associated with hypomagnesemia; some of the more common etiological factors are described below.
