it has been reported that cither lithium or verapamil can potentiate the neuromuscular blocking activity of certain neuromuscular blockers. in the present investigation, possible interaction of verapamil with lithium has been described. the dose ■ response effects of verapamil and lithium on diaphragmatic contractility were assessed in vitro. mechanical responses of the muscle to indirect (nerv...

objective: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of adjunctive topiramate in treating acute mania. methods: in this study which was a double-blinded randomized clinical trial, 46 bipolar patients in manic episode, were treated with lithium carbonate and topiramate versus lithium carbonate and placebo and treatment responses were assessed by young mania rating scale (ymrs) weekly....

case of 18 kN, a considerable portion of the particles are mechanically broken. The structure is condensed nearly without cavities. It might be useful to prepare pellets of high density, as the diffusion coefficient of tritium in Li,SiO, or Li4Si04 is on the order of 2 magnitudes higher than in the other lithium compounds.’ Li2Si03.nH20 is X-ray amorphous. ‘ A considerable portion of the powder...

Thermal control ceramic coatings on Mg-Li alloys have been successfully prepared in silicate electrolyte system by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) method. The PEO coatings are mainly composed of crystallized Mg2SiO4 and MgO, which have typical porous structure with some bulges on the surface; OES analysis shows that the plasma temperature, which is influenced by the technique parameters, de...

The reductive cleavage of the Si-Si bond in 1,1-bis(1-methyl-2,3,4,5-tetraphenyl-1-silacyclopentadiene) [(C(4)Ph(4)SiMe)(2)] (1) with either Li or Na in THF gives the silole anion [MeSiC(4)Ph(4)]- (2). The head-to-tail dimerization of the silole anion 2 gives crystals of the disilatricyclic diallylic dianion [(C(4)Ph(4)SiMe)(2)]-2 (3). The derivatization of 3 (crystals) with bromoethane (gas) u...

Spinel-type of MnO2 nanoparticles which successfully synthesized by a hydrothermal process, have a required capacity for lithium uptake from liquid resources. Themost lithium adsorption capacity of 6.6 mmol/g of up to now was found to be an important limiting parameter for industrial applications. Therefore, increasing uptake capacity of these ion sieve...

Considering the physiological role of epiphysis in functional activity and defense reactions of the body, this study was carried out to evaluate changes of lithium level due to biorhythms of epiphysis. For this purpose, albino mice (6-month old) were used. The animals were kept in light (resulting in inhibition of the activity of epiphysis) and dark (which increases the activity of epiphysis) e...

In the present study, the interactions of three different lithium species Li+, Li3+ and CH3Li with several different sites of the most stable tautomers of DNA nucleo-bases are presented. This investigation is based on the results of thermochemical properties, Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules (QTAIM) and Natural Bond Orbi...
