Lithium Side Effects in the Medically Ill

The International Journal of Psychiatry in Medicine, 1993
Objective: This review will include the general pharmacology of lithium and discuss its effects on various organ systems, with emphasis on the medically ill patient as well as the geriatric patient with multiple medical problems. Methods: A full literature review on the side effects of lithium was performed.

Use of Lithium in the Medically Ill

Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics, 1988
For more than one hundred years (about 1845-1950), lithium salts were used to treat disorders belonging to 'the uric acid diathesis' ('gouty diseases'). It was introduced into modern psychiatry as an antimanic agent, but its current use is mostly as a prophylactic in bipolar and unipolar manic-depressive illness.

Lithium Intolerance in a Medical-Psychiatric Population

General Hospital Psychiatry, 1998
This pilot study was designed to explore the tolerance and efficacy of lithium as an adjunctive prophylactic agent when added to maintenance antidepressant regimens following an episode of depression in an older medical-psychiatric population. In a randomized controlled trial, 27 depressed patients had either lithium carbonate or placebo added to their

Lithium ion batteries for medical devices

Fourteenth Annual Battery Conference on Applications and Advances. Proceedings of the Conference (Cat. No.99TH8371), 1999
Lithium-ion batteries are being developed for nonimplantable and implantable medical devices. The high voltage, energy density and unique characteristics of this battery system are, in some cases, an enabling technology for the medical device. In other cases, the lithium-ion system provides additional convenience to the patients who use these devices ...

Lithium Battery Fires: Implications for Air Medical Transport

Air Medical Journal, 2012
Lithium-ion batteries provide more power and longer life to electronic medical devices, with the benefits of reduced size and weight. It is no wonder medical device manufacturers are designing these batteries into their products. Lithium batteries are found in cell phones, electronic tablets, computers, and portable medical devices such as ventilators,

The use of lithium in the medically ill

General Hospital Psychiatry, 1990
Many patients taking lithium for the treatment of mood disorders suffer from concomitant medical illnesses. Because of its effects on multiple organ systems, extra caution is required when lithium is used in the presence of medical illness. Available data regarding the use of lithium in the presence of thyroid, renal, cardiovascular, dermatologic, and ...

Implantable medical applications of lithium-ion technology

Seventeenth Annual Battery Conference on Applications and Advances. Proceedings of Conference (Cat. No.02TH8576), 2003
The requirements for implantable medical batteries include high energy density, reliable performance, and a long service lifetime. These requirements have typically been satisfied by lithium primary cells. However, many new and exciting medical devices are being developed which have energy requirements that cannot be satisfied by a reasonably sized ...

The future of lithium and lithium-ion batteries in implantable medical devices

Journal of Power Sources, 2001
New implantable medical devices and applications are being developed at a rapid rate. Many of these applications have higher power and/or energy requirements than existing applications. These needs will drive the development of new primary lithium chemistries and the implementation of rechargeable lithium-ion technology.

Serotonin Syndrome after Lithium Add-on Medication to Paroxetine

Pharmacopsychiatry, 1997
A 59-year-old female patient was hospitalized on account of a depressive episode in the course of a long-standing bipolar disorder. On a combination of lithium (400 mg/day) and paroxetine (30 mg/day) she developed symptoms of shivering, high-frequency tremor of the upper and lower limbs, skin flush in the face, agitation, and slight impairment of ...

THE MEDICAL ECONOMICS OF LITHIUM TREATMENT FOR MANIC-DEPRESSIVES

Psychiatric Services, 1977
UThere is flO longer any real doubt that lithium carhonate has a preventive effect on recurrent manicdepressive psychoses. There have been well-controlled double-blind studies confirming a prophylactic effeet.”2 A study that involved 18 hospitals and 205 patients showed that lithium was significantly more effective than a placebo in preventing relapses.
