Lithium is widely used as treatment of acute mania and as prophylactic therapy for bipolar disorder. International and national guidelines also consider lithium as a possible treatment of acute bipola...
To provide a systematic review of the evidence for lithium in the treatment of acute bipolar depression and provide directions for further research....
A systematic review of clinical studies investigating the use of lithium in bipolar depression was performed using preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses guidelines in Pubm...
This review included 15 studies with a total of 1222 patients, between the age of 18 and 65, suffering from bipolar depression of which 464 were treated with lithium. There are currently only limited ...
In contrast to data for the treatment of mania and prophylaxis, robust data on the efficacy of lithium in bipolar depression is currently lacking, making it impossible to make conclusions regarding ef...
Lithium is a cation, similar to sodium and potassium, affecting ion transport. It is used in the medical field as a treatment of bipolar disorders. The main endocrine complications of lithium treatmen...
The literature on lithium's role in suicide prevention is rife with competing interpretations and diverging opinions, in part stemming from the complexity of the underlying literature base. Conclusion...
Ammonia synthesis chemistry with lithium-nitrogen-hydrogen materials is largely confined to pathways involving lithium hydride and lithium imide. Herein, we explore an alternate pathway featuring lith...
Lithium remains the gold-standard medication for acute and prophylactic treatment of bipolar disorder. Understanding clinicians' practices and patients' experiences, knowledge and attitudes about lith...
Online anonymous surveys collected information about clinician's practices and level of confidence in managing lithium and patients' experiences with lithium treatment and information received about b...
Among 201 clinicians, 64.2% endorsed often treating patients with lithium and reported high levels of confidence in assessing and managing lithium. Practices concerning clinical indications, drug titr...
Cross-sectional design with predominantly English-speaking participants from Brazil and North America....
There is a discrepancy between guidelines, clinician confidence and knowledge of lithium use and practice. A deeper understanding of how to monitor, prevent and manage long-term side effects and which...
We describe here the case of a 54-year-old bipolar woman, followed in psychiatry and treated with lithium and a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (escitalopram) and lamotrigine, presenting a lith...
Lithium is considered the gold standard for the treatment of bipolar affective disorder for the prevention of recurrence of manic and depressive episodes and for augmentation treatment in unipolar sev...
The aim was to give an overview of the current literature on lithium treatment in old age and from this to derive recommendations for action....
A selective literature review on lithium treatment in old age was conducted to answer questions on drug safety, monitoring (particularly with respect to comorbidities) and potential alternatives to li...
Lithium is an effective and, if used correctly, safe drug also in old people; however, with respect to somatic comorbidities that increase with age, special caution is required when using lithium in o...
Lithium is an effective mood stabilizer in bipolar disorder (BD). There is, however, high variability in treatment response to lithium and only 20-30% of individuals with BD are excellent responders. ...
To determine if long-term lithium treatment is associated with protective effects or increased risk of vascular, neurological, and renal disorders....
Using nationwide registers, we included all citizens of Finland with dispensations of lithium for three or more consecutive years between 1995 and 2016. We identified 9698 cases and matched 96,507 con...
Lithium users had a significantly higher overall disease burden compared to matched population controls, including a higher risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disorders and dementia. However, ...
We conclude that individuals prescribed lithium have a lower risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, but no marked effect on dementia, compared to individuals with a mood or psychotic diso...
The extent of parathyroidectomy (PTX) recommendation in patients with lithium-associated hyperparathyroidism (LAH) remains controversial. The primary objectives of this study were to analyze extent of...
A population-based study, including all primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) patients who underwent PTX in Sweden between 2008 and 2017. Data on exhibited lithium prescriptions, morbidity, surgical appr...
Lithium exposure was significantly more common among PHPT (n = 202, 2.3%) than in controls (n = 416, 0.5%); OR 5.0 (95% CI 4.2-5.9). The risk of LAH correlated to the length of lithium exposure. In th...
The findings support the perception of LAH as a complex entity. We recommend a functionally oriented approach, aimed to obtain and maintain normocalcemia for as long as possible, minimizing the risk o...
