Lithium carbonate is considered an effective drug against mania and acts as a mood stabilizer. It is found that it enhances antidepressants targeting depression, consequently it is prone to have risk factors that leads to adverse effects. The study is devised in confronting depression under
OBJECTIVE
To describe the case of a patient who ingested 50 sustained release lithium carbonate 400 mg tablets, and reached a late peak concentration above 3 mEq/L.
METHODS
A 32-year-old male with bipolar mood disorder ingested 50 sustained-release lithium carbonate tablets. Upon admission to the
Morphometric and pathologic studies along the length of the peripheral nervous system were obtained in groups of rats fed 4% lead carbonate for 3 and 6 months and in match-fed controls. The number and diameter histograms of L6 cytons of spinal ganglia and of myelinated fibers of proximal and distal
OBJECTIVE
Serum lithium levels may be influenced by mood state. We report on a 58-year-old female patient suffering from rapid cycling bipolar disorder. Her serum lithium levels varied greatly, despite stable medication.
METHODS
The patient was observed over a one-year period.
RESULTS
The patient
BACKGROUND
Lanthanum carbonate, a new phosphate binder, is effective in reducing serum phosphorus levels in patients with end-stage renal disease. A 1-year extension study to two randomized controlled studies was conducted to evaluate the long-term safety of lanthanum carbonate in patients who
OBJECTIVE
Our objective is to understand the biological and mechanical pathways linking cartilage, bone, and marrow changes in the progression of osteoarthritis (OA). The aim of the present study was to evaluate bone structure and composition within bone marrow edema-like lesion (BMEL) regions
Brain injury from inorganic Pb(2+) is considered the most important environmental childhood health hazard worldwide. The microvasculature of the developing brain is uniquely susceptible to high level Pb(2+) toxicity (ie, Pb(2+) encephalopathy) characterized by cerebellar hemorrhage, increased
It is well known that chronic treatment with lithium gives cytoprotection from ischemia and neurodegeneration. Despite the clinical relevance, the potential effects of acute lithium treatment just before and during early stages of ischemia are not well known. Brain impedance was measured in an
During one year we have studied the weight gain secondary to lithium in 80 patients in long-term maintenance treatment. Out of 80 patients, 28 increased weight. Nearly all gained less than 10% of initial weight. There is not connection between weight and thirst or edema. Weight gain was not a cause
The present study was designed to investigate the hematotoxicity, sero-biochemical and histological changes due to the accumulation of BaCl2 and BaCO3, the most important barium salts in our daily lives, in different soft tissues including the liver, kidney, heart, and spleen of adult rats after an
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of peripheral nerve in rats receiving 6% lead carbonate for 4-10 weeks provided evidence of a specific Schwann cell injury, associated with demyelination. Intranuclear inclusions in Schwann cells appeared within 2 weeks of administration of a lead-containing
OBJECTIVE
Introduction: Information on chemical and phase composition of pancreoliths is limited and discrepant. There are reports, that pancreoliths are composed by calcium, phosphate, calcium carbonate or combination of calcium with fatty acids The aim of the work is studying of structural
