Lithium metal has shown great promise as an anode material for high-energy storage systems, owing to its high theoretical specific capacity and low negative electrochemical potential. Unfortunately, uncontrolled dendritic and mossy lithium growth, as well as electrolyte decomposition inherent in lithium metal-based batteries, cause safety issues and low Coulombic efficiency. Here we demonstrate...

background lithium is a drug for treatment of bipolar disorder by correcting mania and reducing depressive mood swings. objectives in this study, effects of lithium on volumetric parameters of cerebellum were investigated using stereological methods. materials and methods in this experimental study, 20 sexually mature wistar male rats were selected and divided in two groups randomly (n = 10). a...

background: therapeutic effects of lithium in manic-depressive disorders have been clarified. during the present study, the effects of lithium carbonate have been assessed on apomorphine-induced sniffing in rats. materials and methods: male albino rats were housed in a glass cylinder and food and water were freely available till 60 minutes before the experiment. immediately after apomorphine in...

BACKGROUND Lithium has been the gold standard in treating bipolar disorder. In recent years, the use of lithium seems to be diminished although it is well tolerated among the bipolar disorder patients. SUBJECTS AND METHODS This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of lithium as well as to determine factors associated with lithium response among patient with bipolar disorder. ...

in the present study, interactive effects of d1 and d2 dopamine receptors antagonists and different periods of lithium pretreatment on morphine dependence in mice have been investigated. this study was designed to investigate whether the hypothesis that lithium and dopaminergic mechanisms via their effects on phosphoinositide pathways and calcium flux could influence morphine withdrawal respons...

mp2 calculations with cc-pvtz basis set were used to analyze intermolecular interactions in f3cx···yli···nccn and f3cx···nccn···liy triads (x = cl, br; y = cn, nc) which are connected via halogen and lithium bonds. those complexes with the role of liy as halogen acceptor and lithium donor show cooperativity with energy values ranging between -1.97 and -2.92 kj mol-1. those complexes with simult...

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....

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...
