lactic acid and Brain Abscess

lactic acid has been researched along with Brain Abscess in 11 studies

Lactic Acid: A normal intermediate in the fermentation (oxidation, metabolism) of sugar. The concentrated form is used internally to prevent gastrointestinal fermentation. (From Stedman, 26th ed)
2-hydroxypropanoic acid : A 2-hydroxy monocarboxylic acid that is propanoic acid in which one of the alpha-hydrogens is replaced by a hydroxy group.

Brain Abscess: A circumscribed collection of purulent exudate in the brain, due to bacterial and other infections. The majority are caused by spread of infected material from a focus of suppuration elsewhere in the body, notably the PARANASAL SINUSES, middle ear (see EAR, MIDDLE); HEART (see also ENDOCARDITIS, BACTERIAL), and LUNG. Penetrating CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA and NEUROSURGICAL PROCEDURES may also be associated with this condition. Clinical manifestations include HEADACHE; SEIZURES; focal neurologic deficits; and alterations of consciousness. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp712-6)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The signal-intensity loss from anomalous J-modulation effects due to chemical-shift displacement was investigated on amino acid groups (alanine, valine, leucine, and isoleucine) at 3T by using point-resolved (1)H spectroscopy in patients with brain abscess and phantom experiments."3.74Anomalous J-modulation effects on amino acids in clinical 3T MR spectroscopy. ( Chan, CC; Chen, CY; Cho, NY; Chou, MC; Chung, HW; Huang, GS; Juan, CJ; Ko, CW; Lee, CS; Liu, HS; Tsai, SY; Wang, CY, 2008)
"A spectrum specific for brain abscess was found in three of the five cases, while two showed a single lactate peak in the first study."1.31Chronological change of brain abscess in (1)H magnetic resonance spectroscopy. ( Akutsu, H; Anno, I; Isobe, T; Itai, Y; Matsumura, A; Nose, T; Takano, S, 2002)
"The differential diagnosis between brain abscesses and necrotic tumors such as glioblastomas is sometimes difficult to establish by conventional computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging."1.31Brain abscess and glioblastoma identified by combined proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging--two case reports. ( Harada, M; Kageji, T; Nagahiro, S; Nakaiso, M; Takimoto, O; Uno, M, 2002)
"Most of the brain tumors were characterized by strongly reduced total N-acetylaspartyl compounds and marked increases of myo-inositol and choline-containing compounds, consistent with a lack of neuroaxonal tissue and a proliferation of glial cells."1.31Quantitative proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy of focal brain lesions. ( Dechent, P; Frahm, J; Hanefeld, F; Herms, J; Markakis, E; Maxton, C; Wilken, B, 2000)
"Three epidermoid cysts showed only lactate signal."1.30In vivo single-voxel proton MR spectroscopy in intracranial cystic masses. ( Chang, KH; Han, MC; Han, MH; Jung, HW; Kim, HD; Kim, SH; Seong, SO; Song, IC, 1998)
