While Lithium based batteries have allowed electronic products to become more portable, current applications of lithium based batteries are starting to show the limitations of the current technology. These limitations include aspects such as energy density, charge rate, and the usable lifetime of the battery. Furthermore, over the past decade safety concerns of lithium ion batteries have become more and more apparent in both industrial and consumer uses of lithium based batteries. The push towards
John B.Goodenough The entire world uses the electricity to operate useful machines. One of the most important use of electricity is to light up cities. Electricity is also used to light up the most important device that people use which is the smart phone. John Goodenough is considered one of the most important inventors in the engineering industry. Goodenough’s hard work, writings and inventions made him a great inventor and a remodel for many engineers. Goodenough is a person that everyone

of the doctors seemed to give them any clue as to what was wrong with Mark. They decided it was best to look for either a psychiatrist or psychologist. They found a doctor who told them he believed Mark had Manic Depression and was to start on a lithium therapy as soon as possible. In this book, we are presented with the mental illness named ‘Manic Depression’ in which Mark was faced with as a freshman in college. Manic Depression is most commonly known as ‘Bipolar Illness’ and is usually confused
the most widely used are Lithium treatments or Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs). These are some of the primary treatments for bipolar disorder and even more pharmacotherapeutics and methods are being developed to ensure that patients are utilizing them properly. There are many psychotropic drugs that have been tested over the years. Some drugs with therapeutic effects aimed at the mania aspect of bipolar or the depression aspect of the disorder. Lithium, is one of the first drugs
life is an important performance of artificial pacemakers. Longer even infinity battery life provides much more conveniences and avoid unnecessary risks for pacemaker users. Glucose fuel battery, a new recent research, may possibly replace current lithium battery in pacemakers. This article provides a comprehensive review of the state of the art of glucose fuel battery in artificial pacemakers and its performance and compatibility in human body. Introduction Artificial pacemaker has become
Background: Lithium is an antimanic agent labeled for acute treatment and maintenance therapy of bipolar disorder. Off-label it is also used for bipolar depression as well as non-bipolar depression as an addition to standard antidepressant therapy. Although the exact mechanism of action is still unknown, it is thought to influence reuptake of serotonin and/or norepinephrine. Lithium, however, has many potentially severe adverse reactions and warnings including: heart failure, impaired renal function
health quality improvement project. The evaluators observed the high concurrent utilization of lithium and benzodiazepines and the face validity issues. Health Care Financing Administration (HFCA) of Louisiana contracted with the state peer-review organizations (PRO) to complete an evaluation that would address the issues pertaining to the application of clinical guidelines. After PRO reviewed the use of lithium and benzodiazepines they provided clinics with task force recommendations and clinical guidelines
1. Provide a rationale for the use of Lithium Carbonate that Ellen is currently prescribed. Lithium Carbonate is the most commonly drug that is prescribed for treating bipolar disorder (May, Hickey, Triantis, Palazidou, & Kyriacou, 2015). It works as a mood stabilizer that significantly reduces excessive behaviors and suicidal tendencies. However, the way that lithium exerts its impact on mood is still unknown.
