Abstract
Cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death globally. Only 25.8% of in-hospital and 33.5% of out-of-hospital individuals who achieve spontaneous circulation following cardiac arrest survive to leave the hospital. Respiratory failure and acute coronary syndrome are the two most common etiologies of cardiac arrest. Effort has been made to improve the outcomes of individuals resuscitated from cardiac arrest. Magnesium is an ion that is critical to the function of all cells and organs. It is often overlooked in everyday clinical practice. At present, there have only been a small number of reviews discussing the role of magnesium in cardiac arrest. In this review, for the first time, we provide a comprehensive overview of magnesium research in cardiac arrest focusing on the effects of magnesium on the occurrence and prognosis of cardiac arrest, as well as in the two main diseases causing cardiac arrest, respiratory failure and acute coronary syndrome. The current findings support the view that magnesium disorder is associated with increased risk of cardiac arrest as well as respiratory failure and acute coronary syndrome.

Chien CY, Chang CW, Liao MF, Chu CC, Ro LS, Wu YR, Chang KH, Chen CM, Kuo HC. Myasthenia gravis and independent risk factors for recurrent infection: a retrospective cohort study. BMC Neurol 2023; 23:255. [PMID: 37400755 DOI: 10.1186/s12883-023-03306-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2023] [Accepted: 06/24/2023] [Indexed: 07/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Approximately 10% to 20% of myasthenia gravis (MG) patients have experienced a myasthenic crisis (MC), which contributes to morbidity and mortality. MC triggered by infection is associated with poor outcomes. However, there is a lack of prognostic factors that clinicians can utilize to target interventions for preventing recurrent infection-triggered MC. This study aimed to characterize clinical manifestations, comorbidities, and biochemical profiles associated with recurrent infection-triggered MC in MG patients. METHODS This retrospective study included 272 MG patients hospitalized with an infection requiring at least 3 days of antibiotics from January 2001 to December 2019. Patients were further stratified into non-recurrent or recurrent infection groups. Clinical features such as gender, age, concomitant diseases, acetylcholine receptor antibodies and biochemical data (including electrolytes and coagulants), muscle strength of pelvic and shoulder girdle, bulbar and respiratory function, management with an endotracheal tube, Foley catheter, or plasmapheresis, duration of hospitalization, and culture pathogens were recorded. RESULTS The recurrent infection group was significantly older than the non-recurrent group (median age, 58.5 versus 52.0 years). Pneumonia was the most common infection and Klebsiella pneumoniae was the most common pathogen. The presence of concomitant diabetes mellitus, activated partial thromboplastin time prolongation, the duration of hospitalization, and hypomagnesaemia were independently associated with recurrent infection. The presence of deep vein thrombosis, thymic cancer, and electrolyte imbalances i.e., hypokalemia, and hypoalbuminemia were significantly associated with a risk for infection. The influence of endotracheal intubation, anemia, and plasmapheresis during hospitalization were inconsistent. CONCLUSIONS The independent risk factors for recurrent infections in MG patients identified in this study include the presence of concomitant diabetes mellitus, hypomagnesaemia, activated partial thromboplastin time prolongation, and longer duration of hospitalization, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to prevent recurrent infections in this population. Further research and prospective studies are warranted to validate these findings and refine interventions for optimizing patient care.
