Mechanosynthesis of carbonate and lithium co-substituted hydroxyfluorapatite

Sodium-carbonate co-substituted hydroxyapatite ceramics

Powders of sodium-carbonate co-substituted hydroxyapatite, having sodium content in the range of 0.25–1.5 wt.% with a 0.25 wt.% step, were prepared by a precipitation-solid state reaction route. Compacts of the powders were sintered in a CO2 flow (4 mL/min) at 1100 °C for 2 h. The sintered ceramics contained sodium and carbonate ions in the ranges of 0–1.5 wt.% and 1.3–6 wt.%, respectively, whi...

TERATOGENIC EFFECTS OF LITHIUM CARBONATE ON DEVELOPMENT OF MOUSE EMBRYOS

Intestinal vasculitis and lithium carbonate-associated diarrhoea.

Lithium carbonate is now frequently used in the treatment of both unipolar and bipolar manic depressive states. It is generally thought that the adverse reactions of this drug are associated with plasma levels above the therapeutic range of 0.8-1.2 mmol/ litre, but they may also be associated with long-term usage of the medication within the recommended plasma concentrations. (Persson, 1977). T...

Mechanism of Lithium Carbonate Induced Hyperdipsia

used for the treatment of some psychiatric disorders (Marples, Christensen , Christensen , Ottosen and Nielsen, 1995). Many bipolar disorder patients become stabilized during the administration of lithium carbonate. Nevertheless, it produces several unwanted side effects, including polydipsia and polyuria (Penney and Hampton, 1990). At present, it is not clear the origin and mechanism of these ...

Fatal self-poisoning with lithium carbonate.

In a fatal case of self-poisoning with lithium carbonate there was a progressive increase in serum lithium concentration for 48 hours after ingestion of the overdose. It is suggested that the continuous increase in serum lithium concentration reflects prolonged absorption of lithium from relatively insoluble aggregates of lithium carbonate in the gastrointestinal tract. In this case there was a...
