Lithium toxicity: when is hemodialysis necessary?

A case of severe lithium intoxication is presented in which the function of the lithium pump was monitored, and was found to improve as the signs of lithium toxicity abated. The status of the lithium pump may provide an index of the severity of lithium intoxication. Since the lithium pump regulates the extrusion of lithium from the intracellular to the extracellular space, it is argued that the activity of the lithium pump is an index of the severity of lithium intoxication and crucial to the process of detoxification.

Propranolol in the treatment of rage and violent behavior in patients with chronic brain syndromes.

The authors successfully treated four patients who had irreversible CNS lesions and socially disabling aggressiveness and outbursts of rage, which had not been affected by high doses of major tranquilizers or anticonvulsants, with 320-520 mg/day of propranolol. Disorientation, memory impairment, and psychotic thought processes associated with the CNS lesions were not altered by the propranolol.
