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

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.

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 ...

Effect of lithium carbonate on the function of the thyroid gland: mechanism of action and clinical implications.

Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology, 2020
Lithium carbonate, a drug known for more than 100 years, has been successfully used as a psychiatric medication. Currently, it is a commonly used drug to treat patients with unipolar and bipolar depression, and for the prophylaxis of bipolar disorders ...

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.

The lithium—iodine cell for medical and commercial applications

Journal of Power Sources, 1980
Abstract The lithium—iodine solid electrolyte pacemaker cell is described along with other versions of the cell intended for watches, CMOS memories and oil well data logging applications. Process modifications are mentioned which can increase the current density of the system from 1 μA/cm2 in pacemaker cells to 60 μA/cm2 in button cells for watches ...

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,

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 ...
