Ureter muscles contraction movements caused pain in renal colic. Magnesium sulphate could influence the pain by reducing acetylcholine in the nerve terminals. We have aimed to evaluate the analgesic effects of magnesium sulphate on acute renal colic pain. ⋯ Our findings indicated that Magnesium sulphate did not influence renal colic pain relief.

In the Emergency Department (ED) setting, clinicians commonly treat severely elevated blood pressure (BP) despite the absence of evidence supporting this practice. We sought to determine if this rapid reduction of severely elevated BP in the ED has negative cerebrovascular effects. ⋯ While this small cohort did not find an overall substantial change in cerebral blood flow, it demonstrated adverse cerebrovascular effects from rapid BP reduction in the emergency setting.
