متن کاملTeaching neuroimages: reversible paradoxical lithium neurotoxicity.
A 33-year-old man with bipolar affective disorder presented with acute onset of rigidity, tremors, and confusion. He had been taking oral lithium (1,200 mg daily) for the past 2 months. Baseline blood, EEG, and CSF analyses were normal. Serum lithium level was 0.67 mEq/L (0.3–1.3). GadoliniumMRI brain showed multiple bilateral symmetric T2-weighted hyperintensities (figure, A–C).

متن کاملClarifying when Standards Track Documents may Refer Normatively to Documents at a Lower Level
IETF procedures generally require that a standards track RFC may not have a normative reference to another standards track document at a lower maturity level or to a non standards track specification (other than specifications from other standards bodies). For example, a standards track document may not have a normative reference to an informational RFC. Exceptions to this rule are sometimes ne...
متن کاملLow level exposures to organophosphorus esters may cause neurotoxicity.
A large number of published studies support the notion that long term, low level (LTLL) exposure to organophosphorus (OP) esters may cause neurological and neurobehavioral effects. In order to differentiate these from other effects of OP such as the acute cholinergic episodes, intermediate syndrome and organophosphate induced delayed neuropathy (OPIDN), the term Chronic Organophosphate Induced ...
متن کاملLithium neurotoxicity.
The peripheral and central neurotoxic effects of lithium carbonate are illustrated by 4 case histories. Lithium neurotoxicity is likely to be more common than the literature suggests. Neurological sequelae may be irreversible and may be associated with therapeutic serum levels. Prevention may be facilitated by more stringent case selection, EEG and clinical monitoring and the development of imp...
