ECG Changes in Acute Experimental Ruminal Lactic Acidosis in Sheep

For induction of ruminal acidosis, 10 clinically healthy three years old non pregnant female sheep were selected. Prior to the infusion of sucrose (0 hour), rumen and blood samples were obtained in order to determine baseline rumen and blood pH, respectively. Electrocardiogram (ECG) was also recorded. Acute ruminal acidosis was induced experimentally with sucrose at a dose of 18g kg-1 body weig...

Metformin-Associated Lactic Acidosis

Metformin has been used in Europe since the 1970s to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Usage has increased since the results of the UK Prospective Diabetes Study were published [1]. Metformin is widely endorsed as initial therapy by professional organizations because of low cost, a good safety profile, and potential protection against cardiovascular disease [2]. Therefore, it is now consid...

Metformin-associated lactic acidosis.

: Metformin is the most commonly prescribed oral antidiabetic agent. Despite a good safety profile in most patients with diabetes, the risk of metformin-associated lactic acidosis is real if safety guidelines are ignored. Experience with 3 cases of metformin-associated lactic acidosis is reported. Two cases were caused by inappropriate use of metformin in the presence of renal, cardiac and hepa...

D-lactic acidosis: A rare cause of metabolic acidosis.

La acidosis por D-lactato es una causa muy poco frecuente de acidosis metabólica. Su incidencia es desconocida, pero probablemente sea más común de lo supuesto1. En los últimos años se ha descrito con más frecuencia, debido al incremento de la supervivencia de pacientes con síndrome de intestino corto (SIC), y al desarrollo de los programas de nutrición parenteral domiciliaria (NPD)2. Se presen...
