Numerous studies have been done on using low serum lithium levels for maintenance therapy of bipolar mood disorder over the past 30-40 years. In this study we sought for the most suitable serum lithium level that having longer relapse's interval periods and less side effects as to recommended it as a maintenance serum lithium level. Thus, we studied 90 patients with bipolar mood disorder (accor...

The majority of integrated energy systems (IES) for combined electricity, heat and refrigeration generation, or trigeneration, are based on gas engines. fuel efficiency engines strictly influenced by intake air temperatures. Practically in all IES the absorption lithium-bromide chillers (ACh) applied conversing removed from engine into form chilled water. peculiarity trigeneration food industri...

background postoperative residual blockade, longer duration of action for neuromuscular blockade, and slower recovery were relatively common in elderly patients. objectives we aimed to investigate the safety of train-of-four ratio and clinical tests in the assessment of patient recovery, and to determine the effects of the rocuronium, vecuronium, and cisatracurium on intubation, extubation and ...

in this study, the effects of acute and chronic lithium on nociception induced by formalin and its interactions with morphine-induced analgesia were studied in mice. formalin test was selected to study nociception. subcutaneous injection of different doses of morphine (1.5, 3 and 6 mg/kg) induced analgesia in a dose dependent manner in both phases of the formalin test. intraperitoneal administr...

objective: the lithium concentration in the plasma is assumed to give someindication as to the concentration of this ion in different organ cells especially incentral nervous system. while the practical value of intracellular lithium measurement is controversial however, erythrocytes have proved to be useful for studying lithium concentration and its transport across the membrane. there are som...

spinel-type of mno2 nanoparticles which successfully synthesized by a hydrothermal process, have a required capacity for lithium uptake from liquid resources. themost lithium adsorption capacity of 6.6 mmol/g of up to now was found to be an important limiting parameter for industrial applications. therefore, increasing uptake capacity of these ion sieves by studding the effect of six effective ...

In the present study, interactive effects of D1 and D2 dopamine receptors antagonists and different periods of lithium pretreatment on morphine dependence in mice have been investigated. This study was designed to investigate whether the hypothesis that lithium and dopaminergic mechanisms via their effects on phosphoinositide pathways and calcium flux could influence morphine withdrawal respons...

objective: cartilage mass produced from mesenchymal stem cell (msc) differentiation would be a suitable candidate for use in regenerative medicine. since the proper function of cartilage tissue is largely dependent on matrix glycosaminoglycan (gag) contents, the objective of this study was to investigate the enhancing effect of two gsk3 inhibitors on the gag content of cartilage produced by hum...

Abstract Current binary nanofluid synthesis methods with heat transfer additives lack an understanding of the chemistry nanoparticle-additive-base fluid interaction, which plays a significant role in adsorption surfactant on nanoparticle surface. Consequently, this leads to formation aggregates within after couple days, affecting stability colloidal suspension. Here, lithium bromide-alumina sal...
