P197 Background: Magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) has attracted interest as a neuroprotective agent during cerebral ischemia. Passage of Mg ion into the CNS has been poorly examined. The present study assessed the passage of ionized (physiologically-active)Mg into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with intracranial hypertension after MgSO4 infusion. Design: After IRB approval, patients requiring CSF drainage received IV MgSO 4 (5g)in 125 cc NS over 30 min. Plasma and CSF samples were taken hourly for 4 hrs. Intraventricular catheter placement was confirmed by CT. Data analysis involved ANOVA followed by Dunnet’s post hoc test for a significant F statistic (p < 0.05). Results: Nine patients (5/4, male/female; mean age=52) with closed head injury (n=3), subarachnoid hemorrhage (n=2), intracerebral hemorrhage (n=2), hydrocephalus (n=1), and subdural hematoma (n=1) were studied. Mean (±SD)Mg values are presented (table). Baseline Mg was higher in CSF. Although plasma Mg increased, CSF Mg was unchanged. Conclusions: Although the CSF to plasma Mg gradient is maintained in patients with intracranial hypertension, intravenous infusion of 5g MgSO4 does not further increase CSF Mg. This suggests systemic infusion of MgSO4 may not be an effective route of administration for neuroprotection.

BACKGROUND During the 2020s, there was extensive debate about the possible use of contact tracing (CT) for SARS-CoV-2 pandemic containment, and concerns have been raised about data security and privacy. Little has been said about the effectiveness of CT. In this work, we present a real data analysis of a CT experiment conducted in Italy for eight months involving more than 100,000 users. OBJECTIVE We discuss the technical and health aspects of a centralized approach. We show the correlation between the acquired contact data and the number of positives to SARS-CoV-2. We analyze CT data to define population behavior, and we show the potential application of real contact tracing data. METHODS CT data were collected, analyzed, and evaluated on the basis of the duration, persistence and frequency of contacts over several months of observation. A statistical test was conducted to determine whether there is a correlation between indices of behavior calculated from the data and the number of new infections in the population (new positives). RESULTS We evidence a correlation between a weighted measure of contacts with the new positives to the virus (Pearson coefficient = 0.86), paving the road to a better and more accurate data analysis and spread prediction. CONCLUSIONS The data are used to determine the most relevant epidemiological parameters and can be used to develop an agent-based system to simulate the effect of restrictions and vaccinations. Finally, we demonstrated the system's ability to identify the physical locations where the probability of infection is highest. All data collected are available to the scientific community for further analysis.
