Der Gehalt des Liquor cerebrospinalis an Magnesium und anderen Kationen bei zentralnervösen Erkrankungen

Electrolytes in Cerebrospinal Fluid in Endogenous Depression

“…This difference reached statistical significance as the variations in values were very small. Dreyer & Quadbeck (1965) did not find such a difference. They investigated a similar number of patients, but failed to state their diagnostic criteria.…”

“…Eichorn ( 1954) reported his electrolyte determinations in CSF from 65 "nervengesunde", and Harris & Sonnenblick (1954) studied 40 patients without signs of neurological condition and without psychosis or neurosis. Hunter & Smith (1960) examined patients "as nearly normal as obtainable" in a department of neurology and the values of Dreyer & Quadbeck (1965) were achieved from a control group of 55 "nervengesunde". I t appears that values found in these investigations do not differ from values found in our control group, except for calcium.…”

Electrolyte changes and acid base balance after alcohol withdrawal

“…A relation between hypomagnesiemia and rum fits was reported by Wolfe and Victor [22]. It is noteworthy, however, that in clinical studies measurements have been confined to serum with only few exceptions [1,2,6]. As to the pathogenesis of rum fits it is of interest to compare the changes of magnesium with those of other electrolytes and to consider the changes occurring both in serum and CSF.…”

“…CSF magnesium should be increased instead of decreased after precipitation of a convulsive seizure as a supposed consequence of seizure induced brain tissue lesions [ 1,2]. CSF magnesium should be increased instead of decreased after precipitation of a convulsive seizure as a supposed consequence of seizure induced brain tissue lesions [ 1,2].…”
