Imaging Erythrocyte Sedimentation in Whole Blood [PDF]
The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is one of the oldest medical diagnostic tools. However, currently there is some debate on the structure formed by the cells during the sedimentation process.

Effects of Aggregation on Blood Sedimentation and Conductivity. [PDF]
The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) test has been used for over a century. The Westergren method is routinely used in a variety of clinics. However, the mechanism of erythrocyte sedimentation remains unclear, and the 60 min required for the test ...

β-Dispersion of blood during sedimentation [PDF]
Aggregation of human red blood cells (RBC) is central to various pathological conditions from bacterial infections to cancer. When left at low shear conditions or at hemostasis, RBCs form aggregates, which resemble stacks of coins, known as ‘rouleaux ...

Red Blood Cell Sedimentation Index Using Shear Stress of Blood Flow in Microfluidic Channel
Red blood cell sedimentation has been used as a promising indicator of hematological diseases and disorders. However, to address several issues (i.e., syringe installation direction, blood on-off flow control, image-based quantification, and hemodilution)

Microfluidic-Based Biosensor for Blood Viscosity and Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate Using Disposable Fluid Delivery System [PDF]
To quantify the variation of red blood cells (RBCs) or plasma proteins in blood samples effectively, it is necessary to measure blood viscosity and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) simultaneously. Conventional microfluidic measurement methods require

Sedimentation of Blood Corpuscles [PDF]
I HAVE noticed lately that if oxalated or defibrinated Wood is put to stand in narrow tubes, the corpuscles sediment a good deal faster if the tube is inclined than when it is vertical. Thus with tubes about 2.7 mm. internal diameter there were, after 20 hours, 4, 23, 35, and 42 per cent of clear serum with tubes inclined at 0°, 221/3°, 45°, and 671/2°

Contributions of Red Blood Cell Sedimentation in a Driving Syringe to Blood Flow in Capillary Channels [PDF]
The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), which has been commonly used to detect physiological and pathological diseases in clinical settings, has been quantified using an interface in a vertical tube. However, previous methods do not provide biophysical

Microfluidic Chip for Quantitatively Assessing Hemorheological Parameters [PDF]
The biomechanical properties of blood are regarded as promising biomarkers for monitoring early-stage abnormalities and disease progression. To detect any changes in blood, it is necessary to measure as many rheological properties as possible.

Gravity sedimentation reveals functionally and morphologically different platelets in human blood [PDF]
In contrast to red blood cells, platelets float rather than sediment when a column of blood is placed in the gravitational field. By the analogy of erythrocyte sedimentation (ESR), it can be expressed with the platelet antisedimentation rate (PAR), which
