Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Aug-2014
Magnesium sulphate has been used in some settings as a tocolytic agent to inhibit uterine activity in women in preterm labour with the aim of preventing preterm birth.
- Magnesium sulphate for treating acute bronchiolitis in children up to two years of age
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Dec-2020
Acute bronchiolitis is a significant burden on children, their families and healthcare facilities. It mostly affects children younger than two years of age. Treatment involves adequate hydration, humidified oxygen supplementation, and nebulisation of medi
- Magnesium sulphate for women at risk of preterm birth for neuroprotection of the fetus
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Jan-2009
Epidemiological and basic science evidence suggests that magnesium sulphate before birth may be neuroprotective for the fetus.
- Magnesium sulphate for women at term for neuroprotection of the fetus
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Jan-2013
Magnesium sulphate is extensively used in obstetrics for the treatment and prevention of eclampsia. A recent meta-analysis has shown that magnesium sulphate is an effective fetal neuroprotective agent when given antenatally to women at risk of very preter
- Magnesium sulphate versus diazepam for eclampsia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Dec-2010
Eclampsia, the occurrence of a seizure in association with pre-eclampsia, remains a rare but serious complication of pregnancy. A number of different anticonvulsants are used to control eclamptic fits and to prevent further fits.
- Magnesium sulphate versus lytic cocktail for eclampsia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Sep-2010
Eclampsia, the occurrence of a seizure in association with pre-eclampsia, is a rare but serious complication of pregnancy. A number of different anticonvulsants have been used to control eclamptic fits and to prevent further seizures.
- Magnesium sulphate versus phenytoin for eclampsia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Aug-2010
Eclampsia, the occurrence of a seizure in association with pre-eclampsia, remains a rare but serious complication of pregnancy. A number of different anticonvulsants have been used to control eclamptic fits and to prevent further seizures.
- Magnesium supplementation for the management of primary hypertension in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Jul-2006
Epidemiological evidence on the effects of magnesium on blood pressure is inconsistent. Metabolic and experimental studies suggest that magnesium may have a role in the regulation of blood pressure.
- Magnesium supplementation in pregnancy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 2-Apr-2014
Magnesium is an essential mineral required for regulation of body temperature, nucleic acid and protein synthesis and in maintaining nerve and muscle cell electrical potentials. Many women, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds, have low intakes
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for diagnosis of acute appendicitis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Dec-2021
Appendicitis remains a difficult disease to diagnose, and imaging adjuncts are commonly employed. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an imaging test that can be used to diagnose appendicitis. It is not commonly regarded as a first-line imaging test for a
- Magnetic resonance imaging versus computed tomography for detection of acute vascular lesions in patients presenting with stroke symptoms
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Oct-2009
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasingly used for the diagnosis of acute ischaemic stroke but its sensitivity for the early detection of intracerebral haemorrhage has been debated. Computed tomography (CT) is extensively used in the clinical manag
- Magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic resonance arthrography and ultrasonography for assessing rotator cuff tears in people with shoulder pain for whom surgery is being considered
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 24-Sep-2013
Shoulder pain is a very common symptom. Disorders of the rotator cuff tendons due to wear or tear are among the most common causes of shoulder pain and disability. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetic resonance arthrography (MRA) and ultrasound (US)
- Magnetic resonance perfusion for differentiating low‐grade from high‐grade gliomas at first presentation
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Jan-2018
Gliomas are the most common primary brain tumour. They are graded using the WHO classification system, with Grade II-IV astrocytomas, oligodendrogliomas and oligoastrocytomas. Low-grade gliomas (LGGs) are WHO Grade II infiltrative brain tumours that typic

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Jun-2021
Magnetic seizure therapy (MST) is a potential alternative to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Reports to date on use of MST for patients with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) are limited.
- Magnification devices for endodontic therapy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Dec-2015
After the introduction of microsurgical principles in endodontics involving new techniques for root canal treatment, there has been a drive to enhance the visualisation of the surgical field. It is important to know if the technical advantages for the ope
- Mailuoning for acute ischaemic stroke
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Jan-2015
Mailuoning is widely used in the treatment of acute ischaemic stroke in China. Animal experimental studies and clinical pharmacological research indicate that mailuoning might improve blood circulation, prevent ischaemic injury, and protect heart and brai
- Maintenance agonist treatments for opiate‐dependent pregnant women
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Nov-2020
The prevalence of opiate use among pregnant women can range from 1% to 2% to as high as 21%. Just in the United States alone, among pregnant women with hospital delivery, a fourfold increase in opioid use is reported from 1999 to 2014 (Haight 2018). Heroi
