Older patients' prescriptions screening in the community pharmacy: development of the Ghent Older People's Prescriptions community Pharmacy Screening (GheOP3S) tool [PDF]
Background: Ageing of the population often leads to polypharmacy. Consequently, potentially inappropriate prescribing (PIP) becomes more frequent. Systematic screening for PIP in older patients in primary care could yield a large improvement in health ...

Biological effects of lithium – fundamental and medical aspects [PDF]
In this review, the authors present data on the biological effects of lithium in human and animal body and the subsequent manifestations of these effects. Since the lithium ion radius is close to that of magnesium, lithium ion can compete with magnesium as cofactor of certain magnesium-dependent enzymes.

Lithium-induced EEG changes in patients with affective disorders [PDF]
In 12 patients with affective disorders (ICD-10: F31, F32, F33), EEGs were recorded before and after 4.4 months of lithium treatment. Effects of lithium on the EEG were analyzed by power spectral analysis controlled for vigilance.

Solvation and Transport of Lithium Ions in Deep Eutectic Solvents [PDF]
Lithium based deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are excellent candidates for eco-friendly electrolytes in lithium ion batteries. While some of these DES have shown promising results, a clear mechanism of lithium ion transport in DESs is not yet established.

Controlling $\text{Li}^+$ transport in ionic liquid electrolytes through salt content and anion asymmetry: A mechanistic understanding gained from molecular dynamics simulations [PDF]
In this work, we report the results from molecular dynamics simulations of lithium salt-ionic liquid electrolytes (ILEs) based either on the symmetric bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]imide ($\text{TFSI}^-$) anion or its asymmetric analog 2,2,2-(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl-N-cyanoamide ($\text{TFSAM}^-$).

Clozapine as add-on medication in the maintenance treatment of bipolar and schizoaffective disorders - A case series [PDF]
Atypical neuroleptics are increasingly used in the treatment of bipolar and schizoaffective disorders. Currently, numerous controlled short-term studies are available for clozapine, olanzapine, risperidone or quetiapine, but long-term data are still ...

Internet-based psychoeducation for bipolar disorder: a qualitative analysis of feasibility, acceptability and impact [PDF]
<p>Background: In a recent exploratory randomised trial we found that a novel, internet-based psychoeducation programme for bipolar disorder (Beating Bipolar) was relatively easy to deliver and had a modest effect on psychological quality of life ...
