Objective: To determine how well neonatal blood base excess and lactate predict outcome following perinatal asphyxia. Study Design: Over 68 months, with around 9000 deliveries, lactate was measured on all blood gases taken from neonatal admissions, as well as mineral base and organic acid whenever electrolytes were required. Infants were classified according to their outcome more than 10 years ...

[Purpose] The aims of this study were 1) to examine the convergent validity between Lactate pro 2 and a standard JCA-BM 8000 automatic analyzer using salivary lactate 2) investigate relationship blood levels after vertical squat jump. [Participants Methods] Healthy non-athletes participated in observational study. participants performed jump for 1 min 30 s. Blood measured before exercise Pro 2....

Incremental tests on a treadmill are used to evaluate endurance athletes; however, no criterion exists to determine the intensity at which to start the test, potentially causing the loss of the first lactate threshold. This study aimed to determine the ideal speed for runners to start incremental treadmill tests. The study consisted of 94 runners who self-reported the average speed from their l...

The authors sought to compare power output at blood lactate threshold, maximal lactate steady state, and pH threshold with the average power output during a simulated 20-km time trial assessed during cycle ergometry. Participants (N = 13) were trained male and female cyclists and triathletes, all permanent residents at moderate altitude (1,525-2,225 m). Testing was performed at 1,525 or 1,860 m...

AIM To compare the blood lactate levels between patients with psychotic disorder receiving first- and those receiving second-generation antipsychotics. METHODS The study was conducted at the psychiatric inpatient and outpatient clinics of the Split Clinical Hospital from June 6, 2008 to October 10, 2009. Sixty patients with psychotic disorder who were assigned to 6-month treatment were divide...

Blood lactate concentrations were measured in five patients with chronic airways obstruction after 10 minutes' sustained maximal voluntary ventilation (SMVV) with end-tidal carbon dioxide tension kept constant and after a 12-minute walk. No patient showed a significant rise in blood lactate after SMVV but all showed evidence of low-frequency fatigue of the sternomastoid muscle. After a 12-minut...

Lactic acidosis is common in critical care; by contrast, a subtype called alcohol-associated lactic acidosis (AALA) is rarely encountered. The primary purpose of this study was to determine the prognosis of AALA in critically ill patients and the second aim was to determine whether the survival was associated to the peak blood lactate concentration. An 8-year retrospective analysis of adult pat...

OBJECTIVE Our purpose was to evaluate the relationship between umbilical cord arterial blood lactate levels with acid base balance to the mode of delivery and short-term neonatal outcome in a large multiracial population delivering at term in University of Malaya Medical Centre. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two thousand two hundred and twelve patients of more than 37 weeks of gestation with singleto...
