1. Muriate of potash applied at rates of 0, 1 and 2 cwt./acre to herbage which had also received similar treatments in the previous year did not influence plasma magnesium or calcium values in lactating ewes.2. 24 Cheviot ewes had slightly lower plasma calcium and magnesium levels than 24 Half-bred ewes of the same age both before and after lambing.3. 6·6 g. of magnesium oxide given as a daily drench did not increase plasma magnesium values as measured by blood samples taken 24 hr. after drenching. Values were however increased by 0·5 mg. Mg/100 ml. four hours after drenching.4. No clinical cases of hypomagnesaemic tetany occurred, even although the mean plasma magnesium level of all the ewes in the experiment was only about 1·0 mg./lOO ml.5. Plasma magnesium values of ewes before lambing were significantly (P < 0·001) correlated with post-lambing levels. Values for the ewes during 1962 were equally significantly correlated with levels for the same sheep at comparable dates in 1961.

Objective To report a case of hypocalcemia and Hypomagnesemia after ibuprofen overdose. Case Summary A 21-month-old boy developed acute renal failure with severe metabolic acidosis after ingestion of ibuprofen 8 g. The infant developed tonic–clonic seizures 46 hours after ingestion, with significant hypocalcemia and hypomagnesemia that required electrolyte replacement to control the seizures. Discussion To our knowledge this is the first case report of hypocalcemia, hypomagnesemia, and seizures in a patient after ibuprofen overdose. The mechanism is unclear; the situation was probably aggravated by the use of sodium polystyrene sulfonate and furosemide. Conclusions In patients with ibuprofen overdose, serum calcium and magnesium concentrations should be evaluated since seizures may be associated with a deficiency of these cations. The management of these patients should include calcium and/or magnesium supplementation when required and furosemide should be avoided.
