RESUMEN
Background: Severe hypomagnesemia is an increasingly recognized cause of acute and reversible cerebellar ataxia, often accompanied by cerebellar oculomotor signs such as jerky horizontal or downbeat nystagmus and very rarely ocular flutter. Phenomenology Shown: This video illustrates horizontal pendular nystagmus in a patient with acute onset cerebellar ataxia associated with severe hypomagnesemia. Educational value: Acquired pendular nystagmus can be distinguished from macrosaccadic oscillations and ocular flutter in that the former is composed of two slow phases of equal velocity and the latter of two fast phases of saccadic type with or without intersaccadic interval, respectively. It is most commonly associated with demyelinating, toxic, metabolic, and genetic disorders, but has not been reported in association with severe hypomagnesemia.

INTRODUCTION: Magnesium is an essential cation, and dysmagnesaemia is linked to many poor outcomes. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of dysmagnesaemia and associated health outcomes among hospitalised patients. METHODS: This register-based study collected demographic and laboratory data of hospitalised patients from five publicly funded hospitals in the Northern Territory, Australia, between 2008 and 2017. Patients were stratified into five groups based on their initial serum magnesium level at admission and followed up to death or 31 December 2017. RESULTS: A total of 22 293 patients were admitted during the study period. Dysmagnesaemia was present in 31.75% of hospitalised patients, with hypomagnesaemia being more common (29.62%) than hypermagnesaemia (2.13%). Hypomagnesaemia was more prevalent (43.13%) among the Australian First Nations Peoples. All levels of hypomagnesaemia were associated with a longer median length of hospital stay (p<0.001). Also, all levels of hypermagnesaemia were associated with a longer median stay in intensive care units (p<0.001). Patients with severe hypermagnesaemia had increased mortality compared to patients with severe hypomagnesaemia (56.0% v 38.0.0%, p<0.0001). Mortality was increased in both hypomagnesaemia (hazard ratio 1.86, 95% confidence intervaI 1.74-1.99, p<0.001) and hypermagnesaemia (1.78, 1.48-2.19, p<0.001) compared to normomagnesaemia. CONCLUSION: Dysmagnesaemia was prevalent among hospitalised patients and associated with increased mortality.

This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between prepartum subclinical hypomagnesemia (pre-SHMg) and the occurrence of dystocia, metritis, clinical mastitis, lameness, and subclinical hypomagnesemia postpartum (post-SHMg) in pasture-based dairy cows. Also, the difference in means of prepartum magnesium (Mg) concentration by postpartum health events was evaluated. A total of 890 dairy cows from 32 commercial farms located in southern Chile were enrolled. Cows were examined twice, once between 30 and 3 days before and once between 3 and 30 days after calving. Blood samples were collected on both assessments, and cows were considered as having SHMg if serum total Mg < 0.65 mmol/L. On the postpartum visit, cows were evaluated for metritis and lameness. Information about clinical mastitis and dystocia was collected from on-farm records. Data were analyzed using multivariable mixed linear models and multivariable mixed logistic regression models. The overall prevalence of pre-SHMg was 9.9%, and its presence was associated with the occurrence of post-SHMg (odd ratio [OR] = 5.7; P < 0.0001) and metritis (OR = 3.1; P = 0.04). However, we did not detect an association between pre-SHMg and dystocia, clinical mastitis, or lameness after calving. Prepartum serum Mg concentrations were lower in cows that developed post-SHMg than those that did not (LSM ± SE = 0.75 ± 0.02 mmol/L vs. 0.83 ± 0.02 mmol/L; P < 0.0001). In conclusion, pre-SHMg was associated with a higher risk of post-SHMg and metritis in grazing dairy cows but not other postpartum health events.

BACKGROUND: Recent research has shown that low serum levels of magnesium are often linked to both microvascular and macrovascular complications in individuals with diabetes mellitus. Hence, monitoring of serum magnesium levels is needed in diabetic patients. Furthermore, the addition of magnesium through supplementation may present a novel therapeutic strategy for mitigating vascular complications in individuals with diabetes. OBJECTIVES: To assess the prevalence of hypomagnesemia in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and to assess the association between hypomagnesemia and microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus in a tertiary care hospital in North Kerala. MATERIALS AND METHODS: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital involving 230 diabetic patients receiving outpatient and inpatient care in the Department of Internal Medicine at Government Medical College, Kozhikode, Kerala. The study took place from January 2018 to December 2018, during which serum magnesium levels were assessed and analyzed in relation to the patients' microvascular complications and glycemic control. RESULTS: We observed that 19.13% of the participants had hypomagnesemia. This condition was found to be more common among older individuals with diabetes, as indicated by a p-value of 0.022. However, there were no significant differences in serum magnesium levels based on gender (p-value 0.18), body mass index (BMI) (p-value 0.223), or the duration of diabetes (p-value 0.36). The prevalence of diabetic retinopathy, diabetic neuropathy, and diabetic nephropathy was higher in diabetics with hypomagnesemia than their counterparts with normal magnesium, with a p-value of 0.001, 0.001, and 0.001, respectively. There was a significant negative correlation obtained between serum magnesium and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) values (Pearson coefficient = -0.240 and p-value = <0.01) and fasting blood sugar (FBS) values (Pearson coefficient = -0.265 and p-value = <0.01). CONCLUSION: Hypomagnesemia is negatively correlated with HbA1C and FBS but not related to duration of diabetes and gender. The prevalence of microvascular complications was higher among the diabetics with hypomagnesemia.

OBJECTIVE: Diabetic nephropathy is a prevalent cause of chronic kidney disease worldwide. Magnesium plays a critical role in insulin resistance, and insulin, in turn, regulates magnesium levels. We aimed to investigate the association between hypomagnesemia and albuminuria in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). DESIGN, PATIENTS AND MEASUREMENTS: This retrospective single-centre study encompassed 1178 patients aged 18 and above with T2DM, who attended our outpatient clinic between January 2019 and August 2020. Albuminuria levels were categorised according to Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative guidelines. In the literature, when examining cut-off values for hypomagnesemia, it is observed that studies typically use hospital normal level as a reference point. Hypomagnesemia, defined as magnesium levels below 1.6 mg/dL, was compared to normomagnesemia (magnesium between 1.6 and 2.4 mg/dL). The primary objective was to explore the impact of magnesium levels on albuminuria, while the secondary objective was to determine the prevalence of hypomagnesemia. The multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed according to age, gender (male), HbA1c, and presence of hypomagnesemia. RESULTS: The mean age of the participants was 58.7 ± 12.2 years, with 44% being male. Hypomagnesemia was identified in 5.3% of the patients. Advanced age and female gender were more common among patients with hypomagnesemia (p = .001). Magnesium levels exhibited a negative correlation with HbA1c and fasting blood glucose, and a positive correlation with creatinine levels (r = -.117, r = -.131, r = .117, p < .001 for all three variables). Hypomagnesemia was significantly more prevalent in patients with albuminuria (15.9% vs. 4.7%, p < .001). Moreover, participants with the presence of hypomagnesemia were independently associated with a higher risk of albuminuria (odds ratio 3,64 1.76-7.52, p = .001). CONCLUSION: Albuminuria is more frequently observed in patients with hypomagnesemia.

OBJECTIVES: The study aims to investigate the relationship between hypomagnesemia, preclinical hypomagnesemia, and normomagnesemia as along with geriatric syndrome and comprehensive geriatric parameters(CGA). METHODS: 217 patients who applied to the geriatric clinic between November 2022 and December 2023 were included in the study. All patients underwent CGA. Patients were categorized into three groups: Magnesium (Mg) level ≤ 1.5 mg/dL, Mg level 1.5-1.8 mg/dL, and Mg level > 1.8 mg/dL. These three groups were compared in terms of demographic characteristics, comorbidities, CGA parameters, and geriatric syndromes. Regression analyses was conducted for significant parameters, adjusting for confounders. RESULTS: 74.9% of all participants were female, with an average age of 76.5 ± 6.6 years. The frequency of hypomagnesemia was 14.2%. Demographic characteristics and medication use, including proton pump inhibitors and diuretics, were similar in these three groups. While the FRIED frailty scale and the duration of the timed-up-and-go test were higher in the hypomagnesemia group, the Basic Activities Daily of Living (ADLs) and the Tinetti-POMA(performance-oriented mobility assessment) scores were lower in the hypomagnesemia group. When normomagnesemia was accepted as the reference category, FRIED frailty scale, Basic ADLs, and POMA score were more significant in the hypomagnesemia group (p = 0.025, p = 0.013 and p = 0.011,respectively), but there was no significance in the preclinical hypomagnesemia group regardless of the covariates. CONCLUSION: Hypomagnesemia, particularly serum Mg levels below 1.5 mg/dL, may be associated with frailty, basic ADLs, gait, and balance tests. In geriatric practice, patients with hypomagnesemia should be evaluated in terms of the risk of the mentioned disorders.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The association between magnesium depletion score (MDS) and the risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has not been examined to date. Meanwhile, the potential impact of dietary magnesium intake on this association remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the influence of dietary magnesium intake on the association between MDS and COPD incidence. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey database, we analysed the relationship between MDS and COPD, while also exploring the role of dietary magnesium. RESULTS: A total of 39 852 participants, including 1762 patients with COPD and 38 090 patients with non-COPD, were included in the analysis. After adjusting for confounding factors, our results demonstrated a significant association between higher MDS and increased COPD incidence (OR=1.48, 95% CI: 1.10 to 1.99). Furthermore, it was observed that dietary magnesium intake did not significantly impact this association. CONCLUSION: This study highlights a significant positive correlation between MDS and the incidence of COPD. Nonetheless, no significant alteration in this association was observed with dietary magnesium intake.

This systematic review evaluates the hypothesis that optimal serum magnesium levels may enhance remission rates in Crohn's disease (CD) and considers whether magnesium supplementation could be beneficial in CD management. This review aims to synthesize available evidence concerning the impact of serum magnesium on disease remission in CD, and to analyze the effectiveness and mechanistic roles of magnesium supplementation. Adhering to the PRISMA guidelines, we searched PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus up to January 2024 using MeSH terms and free-text queries related to CD and magnesium. The inclusion criteria were studies that investigated serum magnesium levels, effects of supplementation, and the inflammatory mechanisms in CD remission. From the 525 records identified, eight studies met the inclusion criteria after the removal of duplicates and irrelevant records. These studies, conducted between 1998 and 2023, involved a cumulative sample of 453 patients and 292 controls. Key findings include significantly lower serum magnesium levels in CD patients (0.79 ± 0.09 mmol/L) compared to controls (0.82 ± 0.06 mmol/L), with up to 50% prevalence of hypomagnesemia in CD patients observed in one study. Notably, CD patients, particularly men, exhibited lower magnesium intake (men: 276.4 mg/day; women: 198.2 mg/day). Additionally, low magnesium levels correlated with increased sleep latency (95% CI -0.65 to -0.102; p = 0.011) and decreased sleep duration (95% CI -0.613 to -0.041; p = 0.028). Another key finding was the significant association between low serum magnesium levels and elevated CRP levels as an indicator of CD disease activity. The findings support the hypothesis that serum magnesium levels are significantly lower in CD patients compared to healthy controls and suggest that magnesium supplementation could improve CD management by enhancing remission rates and sleep quality. However, more rigorous, evidence-based research is necessary to define specific supplementation protocols and to fully elucidate the role of magnesium in CD pathophysiology.

Magnesium (Mg), a nutritional element which is essential for bone development and mineralization, has a role in the progression of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a multifactorial disease characterized by significant deterioration of bone microstructure and bone loss. Mg deficiency can affect bone structure in an indirect way through the two main regulators of calcium homeostasis (parathyroid hormone and vitamin D). In human osteoblasts (OBs), parathyroid hormone regulates the expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor-κ B ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) to affect osteoclast (OC) formation. In addition, Mg may also affect the vitamin D3 -mediated bone remodeling activity. vitamin D3 usually coordinates the activation of the OB and OC. The unbalanced activation OC leads to bone resorption. The RANK/RANKL/OPG axis is considered to be a key factor in the molecular mechanism of osteoporosis. Mg participates in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis by affecting the regulation of parathyroid hormone and vitamin D levels to affect the RANK/RANKL/OPG axis. Different factors affecting the axis and enhancing OC function led to bone loss and bone tissue microstructure damage, which leads to the occurrence of osteoporosis. Clinical research has shown that Mg supplementation can alleviate the symptoms of osteoporosis to some extent.

Endothelial dysfunction is a crucial event in the early pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases and is linked to magnesium (Mg) deficiency. Indeed, in endothelial cells, low Mg levels promote the acquisition of a pro-inflammatory and pro-atherogenic phenotype. This paper investigates the mechanisms by which Mg deficiency promotes oxidative stress and affects endothelial behavior in human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs). Our data show that low Mg levels trigger oxidative stress initially by increasing NAPDH oxidase activity and then by upregulating the pro-oxidant thioredoxin-interacting protein TXNIP. The overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) activates NF-κB, leading to its increased binding to the inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) promoter, with the consequent increase in iNOS expression. The increased levels of nitric oxide (NO) generated by upregulated iNOS contribute to disrupting endothelial cell function by inhibiting growth and increasing permeability. In conclusion, we provide evidence that multiple mechanisms contribute to generate a pro-oxidant state under low-Mg conditions, ultimately affecting endothelial physiology. These data add support to the notion that adequate Mg levels play a significant role in preserving cardiovascular health and may suggest new approaches to prevent or manage cardiovascular diseases.

BACKGROUND: The association between magnesium status and sleep quality is unclear. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between renal reabsorption-related magnesium depletion score (MDS) and sleep quality. METHODS: This study was conducted through a cross-sectional survey of adults aged ≥20â¯years who participated in NHANES 2005-2014. We used weighted logistic regression to examine the association between MDS and sleep quality and performed trend tests to analyze for the presence of a dose-response relationship. Subgroup analyses were performed based on various sleep outcomes and covariates. RESULTS: A total of 20,585 participants were included in the study, with a mean age of 48.8â¯years and 50.7â¯% female. After adjusting for all covariates, we found a graded dose-response relationship between MDS and sleep trouble as well as sleep disorder. Further analyses revealed a significant positive association between MDS and sleep apnea (ORâ¯=â¯3.01; 95â¯% CI 1.37-6.62), but no association with restless legs, insomnia or insufficient sleep. In addition, subgroup analyses revealed that middle-aged, male, obese, low magnesium intake, and depressed patients were more prone to sleep trouble and sleep disorder; interestingly, MDS was positively associated with excessive sleep in subjects ≥60â¯years and without depression. CONCLUSIONS: Our study found a significant association between MDS and sleep quality, particularly sleep apnea, but adequate magnesium intake may be beneficial in mitigating this association. MDS may be associated with excessive sleep in older adults, but not with insufficient sleep or insomnia.

BACKGROUND: Depression is considered the fourth-leading cause of health problems. It is the fourth-leading cause of health problems and disability, which causes 16% of the worldwide burden of disease and injury among adolescents. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the possible association of magnesium (Mg) and ferritin deficiency with depression in adolescent students. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This case control study in secondary schools at Al-Ghanayem discrete. The total number included was 358 students. All were screened for depression by the Arabic version of the Beck questionnaire. The students who had positive score was selected as cases 86 and a matched same number of students with negative score was selected as controls. Serum level of ferritin and magnesium was measured in the 2 groups. RESULTS: There was statistically significant difference between the studied groups when comparing depression grade with each of ferritin and Mg Depressed group cases had lower mean values of ferritin and Mg. The ferritin cut-off level for the prediction of depression was (35.5 µg/dL, which had a sensitivity of 74.4% and a specificity of 75.6%. The magnesium cut-off levels for the prediction of depression were1.95 mg/dL and 104.5 ng/dL which had a sensitivity of 70% and 64%, respectively. CONCLUSION: There was a statistically significant negative correlation between depression severity and each of socio-economic status ferritin and Mg. Each of ferritin and Mg were predictors for depression.

Electrolyte replacement protocols are routinely used in intensive care units (ICU) to guide magnesium replacement. Guided by serum levels, these protocols include no patient-specific factors despite a literature showing ICU patients routinely have significant deficits despite normal serum levels. The authors developed a checklist to help identify patients requiring more aggressive magnesium replacement than the electrolyte replacement protocol would provide. The checklist included risk factors for having significant magnesium deficits and for developing arrhythmias. The checklist was retrospectively applied to 364 medical ICU patients. Diabetic patients prescribed outpatient diuretics were defined as the highest-risk population. A total of 88% of patients in this subgroup had normal magnesium levels. Despite averaging 3.4 risk factors per patient, only 3 of 32 patients received magnesium. Applying the checklist would have suggested additional repletion for at least 85% of patients. A checklist can help identify ICU patients who may require more aggressive magnesium supplementation than protocols will provide.

Magnesium is one of the essential nutrients for plant growth, and plays a pivotal role in plant development and metabolism. Soil magnesium deficiency is evident in citrus production, which ultimately leads to failure of normal plant growth and development, as well as decreased productivity. Citrus is mainly propagated by grafting, so it is necessary to fully understand the different regulatory mechanisms of rootstock and scion response to magnesium deficiency. Here, we characterized the differences in morphological alterations, physiological metabolism and differential gene expression between trifoliate orange rootstocks and lemon scions under normal and magnesium-deficient conditions, revealing the different responses of rootstocks and scions to magnesium deficiency. The transcriptomic data showed that differentially expressed genes were enriched in 14 and 4 metabolic pathways in leaves and roots, respectively, after magnesium deficiency treatment. And the magnesium transport-related genes MHX and MRS2 may respond to magnesium deficiency stress. In addition, magnesium deficiency may affect plant growth by affecting POD, SOD, and CAT enzyme activity, as well as altering the levels of hormones such as IAA, ABA, GA3, JA, and SA, and the expression of related responsive genes. In conclusion, our research suggests that the leaves of lemon grafted onto trifoliate orange were more significantly affected than the roots under magnesium-deficient conditions, further indicating that the metabolic imbalance of scion lemon leaves was more severe.

BACKGROUND: Magnesium deficiency is associated with various health conditions, but its impact on the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the association between serum magnesium levels and prognosis of renal function in CKD patients. METHODS: This is an analysis of the Japan Chronic Kidney Disease Database Exã(J-CKD-DB-Ex), which is a multicenter prospective cohort including CKD patients enrolled from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2020. We included adult outpatients with CKD stage G3 and G4 at the time of initial magnesium measurement. Patients were classified by magnesium levels as low (<1.7 mg/dl), normal (1.7-2.6 mg/dl), or high (>2.6 mg/dl). The primary outcomes were the composite of an eGFR < 15 ml/min/1.73 m2 or a ≥30% reduction in eGFR from the initial measurement, which was defined as CKD progression. We applied the Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression hazard model to examine the association between magnesium levels and CKD progression. RESULTS: The analysis included 9868 outpatients during the follow-up period. The low magnesium group was significantly more likely to reach CKD progression. Cox regression, adjusting for covariates and using the normal magnesium group as the reference, showed that the hazard ratio for the low magnesium group was 1.20 (1.08-1.34). High magnesium was not significantly associated with poor renal outcomes compared with normal magnesium. CONCLUSION: Based on large real-world data, this study demonstrated that low magnesium levels are associated with poorer renal outcomes.
