This article, written in English by Daniel S. Pang and Søren Boyseny, summarizes the current state of knowledge regarding the physiology and pathophysiology of lactate production and lactic acidosis; current indications and the utility of measurement in a critical care setting are described; novel applications in the evaluation of cavitary effusions are highlighted; and a […]

We are pleased to present the following article, written in English by Jordan Santos-Concejero et al. In this article, the authors aim to characterize the physiological responses of runners of different athletic ability at the velocity at onset of blood lactate (VOBLA), and to determine if 4 mmol·L-1 represents the same relative exercise intensity for […]

We are pleased to introduce this article, written in English by Tae Rim Lee et al.  The objective of this study was to examine the association between the initial lactate level or lactate clearance and neurologic outcome in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survivors who were treated with therapeutic hypothermia. The abstract of this article is available […]

In this article written in English by Benjamin Holfelder et al., the authors explain that, in order to achieve world-class performances, regular performance diagnostics is required as an essential prerequisite for guiding high performance sport. The results of this study suggest that lactate tests in swimming specifically have to consider the lactate affecting factors sex […]

This article, written in English by İlyas Yolbaş et al., aims to determine the relationship between blood lactate levels and mortality rate in children admitted to the intensive care unit.
