The effects of dyslipidaemia and cholesterol modulation on erythrocyte susceptibility to malaria parasite infection

Malaria Journal, 2019
Background Malaria disease commences when blood-stage parasites, called merozoites, invade human erythrocytes. Whilst the process of invasion is traditionally seen as being entirely merozoite-driven, emerging data suggests erythrocyte biophysical ...

The influence of erythrocyte deformability in three types of flow situations: continuous, continuous but non uniform, and two phases.

Acta Médica Portuguesa, 1985
The effect of erythrocyte deformability is discussed in three types of flow situation (continuous situation continuous but non uniform situation, and two phases situation), in which the length scale (diameter of the vessels) is similar or not to the ...

The Effect of Chronic Levetiracetam Use on Erythrocyte Deformability

Neurological Sciences and Neurophysiology
Background: The inhibition of carbonic anhydrase (CA) isoenzymes is one of the targets in the development of new antiepileptics. Levetiracetam (LEV) is a new-generation antiepileptic drug frequently used in pediatric patients.

Effect of pentoxifylline on rheology blood in rheumatoid arthritis with systemic manifestation

RUDN Journal of Medicine, 2010
In people with rheumatoid arthritis with systemic manifestations were found significant changes in hemorheological profile, including increasing the viscosity of whole blood, plasma viscosity, erythrocyte aggregation and deformability.

Microrheological and Microfluidic Approaches for Evaluation of the Mechanical Properties of Blood Cells

Applied Sciences
Microfluidic methods are an important tool for studying the microrheology of blood and the mechanical properties of blood cells—erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets.

Endothelial secretogogues and deformability of erythrocytes.

Journal of physiology and pharmacology : an official journal of the Polish Physiological Society, 2002
Many diseases of the heart and circulatory system have been linked with both dysfunction of vascular endothelium and insufficient deformability of erythrocytes. Using shear stress laser diffractometry we investigated whether deformability of erythrocytes would be regulated endogenously by generation of two endothelial secretogogues: prostacyclin and ...

Diseased Erythrocyte Enrichment Based on I-Shaped Pillar DLD Arrays

Micromachines
Enrichment of erythrocytes is a necessary step in the diagnosis of blood diseases. Due to the high deformability and viscosity of erythrocytes, they cannot be regarded as stable point-like solids, so the influence of their deformability on fluid dynamics
