Lithium, several (but not all) anticonvulsants, and most of the atypical antipsychotic medications are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of one of more phases of bipolar disorder. These medications are referred to as mood stabilizers, and they are the foundation of treatment for bipolar disorders. However, the skillful treatment of bipolar disorder requires not only the knowledge of how to prescribe one or more of these medications but also the understanding that some medications are preferred for one phase of the illness but not the other or for long-term use but not necessarily acute use. In this chapter, we first review the clinical use of lithium and the anticonvulsants that are definite or probable mood stabilizers. The general properties of atypical anti-psychotics are reviewed in Chapter 4. In this chapter, we expand on the use of these compounds for the treatment of bipolar disorder. Discussion of the treatment of each phase of bipolar disorder concludes the chapter. 

The most commonly accepted definition of MCS was written by Mark Cullen, M.D., a professor of medicine and epidemiology at Yale University. In Workers With Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, Occupational Medicine 2 (1987) 655-626, he writes, Multiple chemical sensitivities is an acquired disorder characterized by recurrent symptoms, referable to multiple organ systems, occurring in response to demonstrable exposure to many chemically unrelated compounds at doses far below those established in the general population to cause harmful elfects. No single widely accepted test of physiologic function can be shown to correlate with symptoms. ... 

Abstract. A phase equilibriums in intermetallic compounds hydrides in the area of disordered a-, (3-phase in the framework of the model of non-ideal lattice gas are description. LaNi5 hydride was chosen as the subject for the model verification. Position of the critical point of the P—w.-transition in the LaNi5-hydrogen system was definite.
