Biosensing of Haemorheological Properties Using Microblood Flow Manipulation and Quantification
The biomechanical properties of blood have been used to detect haematological diseases and disorders. The simultaneous measurement of multiple haemorheological properties has been considered an important aspect for separating the individual contributions

Thixotropic effect of some biochemical factors in ischaemic stroke
Background. Yield shear stress (YSS) well characterizes the thixotropic status of blood, that exemplifies a reversible loss of blood fluidity due to a low shear rate. At the stable haematocrit ratio YSS depends mainly on the fibrinogen level. Aim.

Blood rheology, cardiovascular risk factors, and cardiovascular disease: The West of Scotland Coronary Prevention Study [PDF]
The West of Scotland Coronary Prevention Study (WOSCOPS) showed that pravastatin reduced the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) events in 6,595 middle-aged hypercholesterolaemic men aged 45-64 years without prior myocardial infarction followed for an ...

Prolonged elevations in haemostatic and rheological responses following psychological stress in low socioeconomic status men and women [PDF]
Low socioeconomic status (SES) and psychological stress are associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease, and both may influence haemostatic responses.

Blood viscosity after splenectomy. [PDF]
Blood viscosity and its contributory factors--namely, plasma viscosity, fibrinogen concentration, packed cell volume, red-cell deformability, and platelet count--were measured in 20 asymptomatic patients after splenectomy and compared with those in controls.

The effect of physical activity on structural and functional arterial adaptations in humans: a narrative review [PDF]
Background and aims: Aerobic exercise and high-intensity interval training reduce arterial stiffness, while resistance training does not increase or alter arterial stiffness. However, the molecular mechanism of these effects in different training methods

Blood viscosity is an important determinant of local flow characteristics, which exhibits shear thinning behavior: it decreases exponentially with increasing shear rates. Both hematocrit and plasma viscosity influence blood viscosity.

Does sticky blood predict a sticky end? Associations of blood viscosity, haematocrit and fibrinogen with mortality in the West of Scotland [PDF]
There is increasing evidence that blood viscosity and its major determinants (haematocrit, plasma viscosity and fibrinogen) are associated with an increased risk of incident cardiovascular events; however, their associations with mortality are not ...

When quantifying mechanical properties of blood samples flowing in closed fluidic circuits, blood samples are collected at specific intervals. Centrifugal separation is considered as a required procedure for preparing blood samples.

Murray's law revisited: Qu\'emada's fluid model and fractal trees [PDF]
In 1926, Murray proposed the first law for the optimal design of blood vessels. He minimized the power dissipation arising from the trade-off between fluid circulation and blood maintenance.
