Measurement of lithium response in patients with bipolar disorder using the Retrospective Assessment of Response to Lithium Scale (Alda scale): A narrative review [PDF]

Precision and Future Medicine
Lithium is the first-line medication for the treatment of bipolar disorder (BD), but its exact biological mechanisms have not been identified. One of the major obstacles in lithium-related research is the difficulty in precisely and reliably measuring ...

Direct Ink Writing of Conductive Hydrogels

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This review examines the use of direct ink writing (DIW) for fabricating conductive hydrogels with customizable 3D structures. It outlines the rheological requirements for successful DIW, followed by an exploration of the materials and ink formulations used to impart electronic and/or ionic conductivity to hydrogels while maintaining printability ...

The Lithium Plateau Enigma [PDF]

Astrophys.Space Sci. 265 (1999) 95-96, 1998
Why is the lithium abundance constant in the so-called lithium plateau while all predictions suggest that it should vary from star to star? Can we find a "lithium attractor" which would remain stable in halo stars while fundamental parameters (M_*, Teff, [Fe/H]) vary?
