Synopsis:

The study investigated the serum levels of magnesium and red blood cell distribution width (RDW) values and their relationship with polysomnographic parameters in patients with Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS). Serum RDW values were significantly elevated and magnesium levels were significantly decreased in OSAS. Also, RDW was positively and magnesium was negatively correlated with polysomnographic parameters. To our knowledge, this was the first study investigating the association between RDW and Mg levels in the same patient population.

ABSTRACT

Objective: Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) leads to complications in several systems. The purpose of this study was to examine serum magnesium and red cell distribution width (RDW) values in OSAS, a chronic inflammation, and thus to reveal the relations between these two parameters and with other sleep parameters.

Serum Magnesium and High-sensitive C-reactive Proteins in Hypertensive, Obese Female School Learners

Issue:

Vol 69, Issue 1: 2021

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2015.292

Pages:

32-7

Synopsis:

This study highlights the increased cardiovascular risks in overweight/obese female school learners in an understudied region of South Africa. There were higher proportions of pre-hypertension, hypertension, and low-grade inflammation in overweight/obese participants in comparison with their lean participants.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To examine the relationship of serum magnesium and high-sensitive C-reactive proteins (hsCRPs) with overweight/obesity, and its association with hypertension in lean versus overweight/obese (O/O), female, adolescent school learners living in Mthatha, Eastern Cape, South Africa.

The Effect of Serum Magnesium Levels and Serum Endothelin-1 Levels on Bone Mineral Density in Protein Energy Malnutrition

Issue:

Vol 61, issue 3 (2012)

Pages:

213–8

Synopsis:

This study suggests that lower magnesium levels and higher endothelin-1 levels might be important factors in changes of bone mineral density in malnutrition. We recommend that the malnourished patient, especially with hypomagnesaemia, be treated with magnesium early.
