Serum lactates and acute kidney injury in patients with sepsis: A cohort analysis
Granting the association of lactates with mortality has been largely documented in critically ill patients with sepsis, its association with the development of acute kidney injury (AKI) in this setting is not well established.

Catalytic Gas-Phase Production of Lactide from Renewable Alkyl Lactates.
A new route to lactide, which is a key building block of the bioplastic polylactic acid, is proposed involving a continuous catalytic gas-phase transesterification of renewable alkyl lactates in a scalable fixed-bed setup.

Severe Lactic Acidosis Caused by Thiamine Deficiency in a Child with Relapsing Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: A Case Report [PDF]
Lactic acidosis is characterized by an excessive production of lactic acid or by its impaired clearance. Thiamine deficiency is an uncommon cause of lactic acidosis, especially in countries where malnutrition is rare. We describe the case of a 5-year-old

Objective: Lactate is often used as a surrogate marker of inappropriate oxygen delivery. It has been shown that hyperlactatemia is associated with worse clinical outcome in children after cardiac surgery.

Diverse Coordination Chemistry of the Whole Series Rare-Earth L-Lactates: Synthetic Features, Crystal Structure, and Application in Chemical Solution Deposition of Ln2O3 Thin Films [PDF]
Rare-earth (RE, Ln) carboxylates are widely studied as precursors of RE oxide-based nanomaterials; however, no systematic studies of RE L-lactates (HLact = 2-hydroxypropanoic acid) have been reported to date.

Different Ti-Si catalysts, viz. TiO2 supported on amorphous SiO2 or Si-MCM-41, TiO2-SiO2 xerogels, and Ti zeolites (TS-1 and Ti-beta), were compared in terms of activity and selectivity for the direct conversion of methyl lactate to lactide in the gas ...

Tandem catalysis for the production of alkyl lactates from ketohexoses at moderate temperatures
Significance Retro-aldol reactions of biomass-derived monosaccharides enable the production of a number of industrially relevant, renewable platform chemicals (e.g., C2–C4 α-hydroxy carboxylic acids, acrylic acid, and esters thereof; and ethylene and ...

Usefulness of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy for the Initial Diagnosis of Mitochondrial DNA-Associated Leigh Syndrome [PDF]
Purpose Diagnosing Leigh syndrome (LS), a representative mitochondrial disease, remains challenging. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)-associated LS, which is maternally inherited, has relatively well-known genetic variants.
