Gravity sedimentation reveals functionally and morphologically different platelets in human blood

Platelets
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

THE INFLUENCE OF BLOOD VOLUME AND STORAGE DURATION ON THE ERYTHROCYTE SEDIMENTATION RATE (ESR) VALUE USING THE WESTERGREN METHOD

Journal of Vocational Health Studies
Background: Hematological examination is conducted to determine the condition of blood and its components, which are used to establish a diagnosis, support a diagnosis, make a differential diagnosis, monitor disease progression, assess the severity of an

Representative subsampling of sedimenting blood [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2019
It is often necessary to extract a small amount of a suspension, such as blood, from a larger sample of the same material for the purposes of diagnostics, testing or imaging. A practical challenge is that the cells in blood sediment noticeably on the time scale of a few minutes, making a representative subsampling of the original sample challenging ...

High white blood cell count and erythrocyte sedimentation rate are associated with perforated appendicitis in children [PDF]

Pediatric Emergency Medicine Journal, 2017
Purpose To investigate the predictors of perforated appendicitis (PA) in pediatric patients with appendicitis seen in the emergency department. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 564 pediatric patients (< 16 years) who visited the emergency department ...

Effects of Laser Radiation on Erythrocytes Sedimentation Rate

Tikrit Journal of Pure Science, 2021
The effect of the Carbon dioxide (CO2) laser radiation on the Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) in the blood sample is studied in this research in vitro. Carbon dioxide (CO2) laser was used for irradiation the blood samples.

Spira mirabilis enhanced density gradient centrifguation [PDF]

, 2013
The centrifugal microfluidic “lab-on-a-disc” paradigm is particularly suited to the pre-conditioning of whole blood. In this work we define the geometry of sedimentation chambers using the Spira Mirabilis (equiangular spiral) and so enhance the ...

Identifying and analyzing the effects of electric fields on erythrocyte sedimentation rate.

Zanco Journal of Pure and Applied Sciences, 2022
Introduction: The influence of electric field on the nature of blood flow and cells is controversial. Erythrocytes sedimentation rate (ESR) examination is a recommended approach to diagnose a few health conditions such as polymyalgia rheumatic and ...

A new automated method for the determination of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) [PDF]

Kirkuk Journal of Science, 2007
The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) or sedimentation rate is a measure of the settling of red blood cells in a tube of blood during one hour. The rate is an indication of inflammation and increases in many diseases.

A pulsed photoacoustic technique for studying red blood cell sedimentation

Journal of Biomedical Photonics & Engineering, 2015
This study shows the capability of a pulsed photoacoustic (PA) technique to measure red blood cell sedimentation and aggregation processes in vitro. Red blood cells are the main source of absorption in blood. The PA signal is proportional to the sample’s
