lactic acid/stroke

BACKGROUND Ocular motor function can provide insights into areas of dysfunction within the nervous system. There are no published eye movement recordings in patients with mitochondrial encephalopathy with lactic acid and stroke-like episodes (MELAS). Our purpose in this study was to analyze the

Mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with lactic acid and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) is a multisystem mitochondrial disorder that typically presents in childhood. We describe the follow-up of a patient who was diagnosed with late-onset MELAS at the age of 49. Her clinical course includes sensorineural

In 203 patients with large focal and transmural myocardial infarctions the cardiac output was studied by means of the dye dilution method, as well as the content of the lactic (Barker and Summerson's technique) and pyruvic acids (Travina's technique). Along with the growth of cardiac insufficiency a

The aim of the study was the assessment of concentrations of lactic acid in the blood of patients with mild course and severe course of ischaemic stroke in the earliest stage of the disease. The subject of the study were 20 patients with a mild ischaemic stroke and 20 patients with a severe one on

BACKGROUND Internal carotid artery occlusion (ICAO) causes high annual rates of mortality and morbidity. It has been established that atherosclerosis is the normal cause of ICAO. As the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis may involve blood lipids, inflammatory factors and other biomarkers, the aim of

BACKGROUND There are scant data on the predictors of ischemic cerebrovascular stroke occurring during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). We investigated the incidence and predictors of ischemic stroke in subjects receiving ECMO support. METHODS A retrospective chart review was conducted on

The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of polarizing mixture on the level of lactic and pyruvic acids in blood and cerebro-spinal fluid of patients with acute ischaemic stroke in the earliest phase of illness. The investigation was done in 20 patients with completed stroke and 16

Ischaemic stroke is a stressogenic factor triggering a complex defensive reaction called "alarm reaction" by Selye. Stress gives rise to liberation of catecholamines, dopamine beta-hydroxylase in the blood, cerebro-spinal fluid and urine. Patients with ischaemic stroke were found to have increased

To explore the clinical characteristics and early sensitive indicators of severe heat stroke patients in order to predict the development of severe heat stroke in the early stage.

Thirty-eight patients with severe heat stroke admitted to

UNASSIGNED OBJECTIVE Diabetes mellitus is one of the most frequent stroke-related comorbid states, and it is characterized by accumulation of reactive carbonyl compounds (RCOs), leading to "carbonyl stress". This pilot study was aimed to evaluate the effect of the consumption of the nutritional

The aim of this study is to investigate blood lactic acid levels after the placement of the AbioCor implantable replacement heart to determine whether circulatory support with the AbioCor device results in adequate tissue perfusion. Tissue perfusion may not be adequate during cardiac surgery,

The patient was a 35-year-old female with an 9-year history of chronic kidney disease awaiting renal transplantation. She was brought to hospital by ambulance due to a generalized convulsive seizure. Her consciousness remained disturbed after treatment for her seizure, and sensorineural deafness was

OBJECTIVE To observe abnormal metabolic changes caused by ischemic cerebral apoplexy and the regulating action of Tongsaimai pellets on abnormal metabolism by analyzing the change of small molecules in plasma of ischemic cerebral apoplexy rat. To find the potential biomarkers, and to explore

Objective: To investigate the clinical features and imaging characteristics of mitochondrial encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS).Methods: Seventeen patients with MELAS diagnosed in the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from July 2014 to
