Bariatric surgery rates have been increasing in the treatment of obesity worldwide recently. In addition to many physical changes after bariatric surgery, the bioavailability of medications can also be significantly affected.

Introduction: Nonconvulsive status epilepticus is a severe complication of lithium intoxication that requires prompt diagnosis and treatment. While conventional electroencephalography (EEG) remains the gold standard for diagnosis for nonconvulsive status epilepticus, its implementation in emergency settings can be challenging and time-consuming. We present a case in which simplified EEG with six electrodes enabled rapid detection and monitoring of nonconvulsive status epilepticus in lithium intoxication in the emergency setting.

Red blood cell Li concentration (RBCLiC) and red blood cell/plasma Li ratio (LiR) have been studied in many areas of mood disorders (such as acute or chronic Li efficacy, adherence, side effects (SE), intoxication management) as well as in several research domains. This systematic review aims to synthesize the existing literature.

Lithium may cause toxicity as it has a narrow therapeutic range. Lithium intoxication may manifest in the form of acute, acute on chronic and chronic intoxication. Neurotoxicity is a common component of chronic lithium intoxication and the symptoms include tremor, ataxia, dysarthria, extrapyramidal symptoms, hyperreflexia, seizures and status epilepticus.
