AI Article Synopsis

  • The study investigates the connection between lactate acidosis and mitochondrial insufficiency in pediatric neurological syndromes.
  • It involved 200 patients with various neurodevelopmental disorders, revealing that 27% experienced lactate acidosis, while 8% showed mitochondrial insufficiency.
  • The findings highlight the need for tailored treatment strategies to manage energy and oxidative metabolism in patients with neurological symptoms.

Article Abstract

The aim of the study was to detect the role of lactate acidosis, also to find the share of mitochondrial insufficiency in development of various neurologic syndromes in children and adolescents. The detection of cellular energetic metabolism and acid based imbalance is also important for finding the specific method of management. We have studied 200 patients with various degree of neurodevelopment delay with epilepsy and epileptic syndromes, headache, vertigo, early strokes, floppy infant syndrome, atrophy of ophthalmic nerve, cataracta, neurosensory deafness, systemic myopathy, cerebral palsy. In 27% of cases with various ages we have detected lactate acidosis and increase level of pyruvate. Mitochondrial insufficiency was seen in 8% of cases which gives us opportunity to find the specific method of treatment in this group of patients. Each patient with neurological symptoms requires correction of parameters of energetic and oxidative metabolism.

The purpose of this study was to identify haemodynamic factors that are associated with tissue hypoperfusion in flap/graft surgical patients that might be modified to reduce perioperative morbidity. We conducted a single-centre, retrospective, observational study of 1355 patients undergoing head and neck flap reconstructions. Logistic regression and chi-square analyses were employed to identify factors which signal perioperative complications.

The D-lactate enigma: exploring the inflammatory influence of D-lactate in cattle.

D-lactic acidosis is associated with fermentative disturbances and is often marked by elevated levels of D-lactic acid in the blood, ruminal fluid, and synovial fluid in cattle. D-lactic acidosis is linked to various inflammatory manifestations, and although the causative factors have been extensively explored, the exact pathogenesis of the associated inflammation remains elusive. Notably, less attention has been given to D-lactate, a stereoisomer found in the plasma of affected animals, which may lead to D-lactic acidosis.

Serum lactate and base deficit as prognostic markers in acute burns patients.

Ann Burns Fire Disasters

December 2024

Department of Bioengineering, VIT, Bhopal, India.

Resuscitation of burns remains a fundamental problem in burn care. Traditional endpoints such as mean arterial pressure and urine output guide fluid therapy for optimal resuscitation, but an ideal marker remains controversial. Base deficit and serum lactate are markers of global tissue acidosis and inadequate oxygenation.
