Avoid drinking alcohol or using illegal drugs while you are taking lithium. They may decrease the benefits (e.g., worsen your condition) and increase adverse effects (e.g., sedation) of the medication. Avoid low sodium diets and dehydration because this can increase … Continue reading →

First, pour some graphite powder into a blender. Add water and dishwashing liquid, and mix at high speed. Congratulations, you just made the wonder material graphene. This surprisingly simple recipe is now the easiest way to mass-produce pure graphene – … Continue reading →

Conclusions: Life expectancy in bipolar disorder is decreased substantially, but less so than previously reported. Patients start losing life-years during early and mid-adulthood. Why does bipolar shorten your life? Possible reasons for the decrease in longevity are many. The most … Continue reading →

Combining these medications can increase the risk of a rare but serious condition called the serotonin syndrome, which may include symptoms such as confusion, hallucination, seizure, extreme changes in blood pressure, increased heart rate, fever, excessive sweating, shivering or shaking, … Continue reading →

Interactions between your drugs Using lithium together with OLANZapine may increase side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, and difficulty concentrating. Some people, especially the elderly, may also experience impairment in thinking, judgment, and motor coordination. Why is Zyprexa used … Continue reading →

Many factors can cause or contribute to irritability, including life stress, a lack of sleep, low blood sugar levels, and hormonal changes. Extreme irritability, or feeling irritable for an extended period, can sometimes indicate an underlying condition, such as an … Continue reading →

Myth: Bipolar disorder is a figment of one’s imagination. Fact: Bipolar disorder is a treatable brain disorder that is real and can cause a lot of suffering, especially if it is not well managed. Individuals cannot just snap out of … Continue reading →

China. Graphite is a raw material for battery makers, but Tesla makes some of its own batteries used in Tesla vehicles. It’s likely the graphite is supplied out of China, as that country is a big producer. As the EV … Continue reading →

The 18650 is popular cylindrical lithium cell, with a capacity of 2500 mAh. The datasheet recommends a 1250 mA constant current charge, then 4.2 V constant voltage charge, and charge termination when the current drops to 50 mA. What amps … Continue reading →

4S Battery Overview (14.8V) A 4 cell/4S (14.8v) pack is the most common voltage for flying almost any size drone (apart from micro >120mm frames) at the moment. This voltage is very versatile and provides great performance for racing and … Continue reading →

Childhood trauma and use of lithium and antipsychotic medication did not affect the relationship between brain volumes and IQ. However, current lithium use was related to lower IQ in patients. Conclusions: Our data suggest a similar relationship between brain volume … Continue reading →

The BMS in the RELiON RB100 LiFePO4 battery, for example, protects each cell in the battery and limits the voltage in the battery to 15.6V. Undervoltage during battery discharge is also a concern since discharging a LiFePO4 cell below approximately … Continue reading →

Bipolar vs BPD Bipolar disorder is also more common than borderline personality disorder. An estimated 2.8 percent of population copes with bipolar disorder, with around 83 percent of these cases considered severe, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness … Continue reading →

Many deep cycle batteries (that are about the same size as a car battery) can supply 6 amps for 8 hours, so this is about 1/2 the power (and 1/2 the weight). 11 of 12 found this helpful. Do you? … Continue reading →

There are four types of leaching: Cyanide leaching (e.g. gold ore) Ammonia leaching (e.g. crushed ore) Alkali leaching (e.g. bauxite ore) Acid leaching (e.g. sulfide ore) What is an example of leaching method? For example, leaching is widely used in … Continue reading →
