The effects of mannitol on blood viscosity [PDF]

open access: possibleJournal of Neurosurgery, 1981
✓ To determine the effect of mannitol on blood viscosity, serial measurements were carried out on venous blood in patients undergoing craniotomies for intracranial aneurysms. Blood samples were drawn immediately prior to, and 30 minutes, 2, and 4 hours after administration of mannitol.

Blood viscosity and blood pressure

Pathology, 1981
The viscosity of blood from 214 men and 206 women visiting a health screening clinic was measured with a recently developed Sydney Hospital viscometer at shear rates 0.1, 1.0 and 100 sec-1. A significant positive correlation (P P >0.01, r = 0.15) at 0.1 sec-1. It is suggested that this sex-specificity may be related to that found by investigators who

On the Viscosity of Blood

1971
The fact that whole blood behaves as a non-Newtonian fluid has been known for many years. But the fact that numerous papers continue to appear in the literature which attempt to explain the so-called “anomalous” viscous behavior of blood is an indication that the meaning of non-Newtonian viscosity is not generally understood, and its significance ...

Hypertriglyceridemia is associated with an elevated blood viscosity Rosenson: triglycerides and blood viscosity

Atherosclerosis, 2002
Elevated blood viscosity is a predictor of cardiovascular disease. The major determinants of blood viscosity are hematocrit and plasma viscosity. Plasma triglycerides elevate plasma viscosity; however, the contribution of plasma triglycerides to blood viscosity after adjustment for other major covariates has not been reported.

Plasma and Blood Viscosity

2019
Plasma viscosity is a useful screening test for the presence of organic disease and a sensitive monitor of disease activity. It is also useful in specific diagnosis of paraproteinemias, in which it can be used to predict the clinical plasma hyperviscosity syndrome. Whole blood viscosity has little use in routine clinical diagnosis. Since it is a global

A blood viscosity analyzer

Biomedical Engineering, 1997
An analyzer that determines blood viscosity at different shift speed has been designed. Its operation principle is based on the use of rotation viscosity measurement using a rotor freely floating in the sample. A blood sample is placed between the stationary thermostabilized measuring cylinder and a free floating rotor.

Anomalous viscosity of human blood

American Journal of Physiology-Legacy Content, 1965
The viscosity of human blood relative to distilled water observed in a capillary viscometer decreases with the length (in the range of 1.65– 10.5 cm) and increases with the reduction of the radius (in the range of .0106–.0217 cm) of the capillaries. No such changes are present when the flow rate of oils instead of water is used for the calculation of ...

The Viscosity of the Blood in Epilepsy

Journal of Mental Science, 1910
It is only within the last few years that any serious attempt has been made to investigate the viscosity of the blood and to find out what importance, if any, could be attached to the variations in the fluid friction of the blood in health and disease. Prior to this period a few physiologists did pay attention to this subject, but many of their results

Blood Viscosity and the Complications of Diabetes

1984
Increased viscosity in diabetes mellitus was forst noted by Skovborg et al. (1966) and has since been confirmed by several groups including Isogai et al. (1976) and Barnes et al. (1977) although the results are somewhat conflicting. These studies have mostly been carried out in older diabetics in whom the presence of atherosclerosis may cause secondary
