Background Lactate, once considered merely a byproduct of anaerobic metabolism, is now recognized as a crucial neuromodulator in the brain, particularly during high-energy demands. Recent studies have explored its role in neuroprotection, cognitive enhancement, and neural plasticity. This study investigates the effects of elevated blood lactate levels, induced by acute exercise, on visual evoked potentials (VEPs), which reflect neural activity in the visual cortex.

- Platelet transfusion is crucial for preventing and treating bleeding but comes with risks due to the presence of pro-inflammatory contaminants in the supernatant, which can cause adverse reactions.
- Traditional methods like leukoreduction and centrifugation have limitations, often failing to effectively remove contaminants or damaging the platelets.
- Emerging microfluidic technologies present a promising alternative for separating cells with minimal damage, addressing challenges in leukocyte depletion, volume reduction, and optimal platelet recovery for safer transfusions.
Peroneus Longus Graft Harvest Does Not Affect Ankle Biomechanics: A Narrative Review.
Indian J Orthop
September 2024
Article Synopsis
- - The peroneus longus graft is becoming popular as an autograft option for ACL surgery, but concerns about its effects on ankle mechanics have been raised.
- - A review of existing literature indicates that harvesting the peroneus longus does not significantly affect ankle eversion or plantarflexion strength.
- - Further research is needed to fully understand how harvesting this graft impacts gait before definitive conclusions can be made.
