They carry a high risk of suicide. Maintenance treatment, aimed at the prevention of relapse, is therefore of vital importance. Lithium has been used for some years as the mainstay of maintenance treatment in bipolar affective disorder, and to a lesser extent in unipolar disorder. However, the efficacy and effectiveness of prophylactic lithium therapy has been disputed. Low suicide rates in lithium-treated patients have led to claims that lithium has a specific anti-suicidal effect. If so, this is of considerable importance as treatments for mental disorders in general have not been shown convincingly to be effective in suicide prevention.</p><p><strong>Objectives: </strong>1. To investigate the efficacy of lithium treatment in the prevention of relapse in recurrent mood disorders. 2. To examine the effect of lithium treatment on consumers' general health and social functioning, its acceptability to consumers, and the side-effects of treatment. 3. To investigate the hypothesis that lithium has a specific effect in reducing the incidence of suicide and deliberate self-harm in persons with mood disorders.</p><p><strong>Search strategy: </strong>The Cochrane Collaboration Depression, Anxiety and Neurosis Controlled Trials Register (CCDANCTR) and The Cochrane Controlled Clinical Trials Register (CCTR) were searched. Reference lists of relevant papers and major text books of mood disorder were examined. Authors, other experts in the field and pharmaceutical companies were contacted for knowledge of suitable trials, published or unpublished. Specialist journals concerning lithium were hand searched.</p><p><strong>Selection criteria: </strong>Randomised controlled trials comparing lithium with placebo, where the stated intent of treatment was maintenance or prophylaxis.

Decomposition occurs by two main processes: (i) by dissociative chemisorption to form adsorbed amide radicals, followed by further surface dissociation, thereby producing adsorbed imide radicals (or even nitrogen adatoms) and mobile hydrogen adatoms; these latter combine and subsequently desorb as hydrogen molecules; (ii) by associative chemisorption of the hydrazine molecule to surface tungsten atoms; the activated surface complex so formed breaks down to give ammonia and nitrogen, largely by the reaction: 3N2H4→ 4NH3+ N2. A study of the decomposition on tungsten films (i) contaminated by the products of a previous decomposition; (ii) presaturated with hydrogen; (iii) partially saturated by both presorption and postsorption of either carbon monoxide or ammonia, indicated that the molecular adsorption takes place on the (110) plane and that the other planes are active for the dissociative adsorption. On the (110) plane, the hydrazine molecule appears to be attached to a single tungsten atom; on the other planes, it occupies four adjacent surface sites. This dual mechanism is consistent with previous results on the heterogeneous decomposition of hydrazine on a wide variety of different surfaces.","PeriodicalId":23290,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of The Faraday Society","volume":"67 1","pages":"526-544"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1971-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1039/TF9716700526","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"57614856","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
