Microbial Corrosion

Microbial Corrosion

Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) is a significant form of material degradation caused by the metabolic activities of microorganisms. This phenomenon poses substantial challenges across various industries, including oil and gas, maritime, and water treatment sectors.MIC occurs when microorganisms, such as bacteria, archaea, and fungi, colonize metal surfaces, forming biofilms that alter the local electrochemical environment. These biofilms can lead to the production of corrosive...

Neuroscience

Background:

Lithium is the standard treatment for bipolar disorder, but its narrow therapeutic index necessitates careful monitoring.
Existing extended-release lithium formulations still require frequent monitoring and can cause adverse effects.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a novel lithium formulation with improved release kinetics for enhanced bipolar disorder treatment.
To achieve sustained therapeutic lithium levels for an extended duration, reducing monitoring frequency and improving patient compliance.

Main Methods:

Development of a novel lithium formulation by coating alginate microparticles with lithium-doped metal phenolic networks (MPNs).
In vitro and in vivo studies to evaluate lithium release kinetics and serum concentration over time.

Main Results:

The novel MPN-coated alginate microparticle formulation demonstrated sustained lithium release for up to 100 hours.
Lithium serum concentrations peaked at 11 hours and remained therapeutic for at least four days, exceeding existing formulations.
This formulation maintained lithium levels within a safe, therapeutically relevant range.

Conclusions:

This novel lithium formulation offers unprecedented control over serum lithium concentration for an extended period.
The formulation has the potential to revolutionize bipolar disorder treatment by improving patient experience and reducing the need for frequent monitoring.
