Effect of Caffeine on the Polymerization of HbS and Sickling Rate Osmotic Fragility of HbS Erythrocytes

Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2004
The effect of exogenous caffeine on human hemoglobin-S (HbS) erythrocytes was investigated in vitro, using caffeine concentrations in millimole per liter (0.0mM-10mM) on three criteria; osmotic fragility, sickling rate and polymerization effects.

Structural, Compositional, and Dielectric State Profiling in Label‐Free Single‐Cell Monitoring

Small Methods, EarlyView.
Label‐free single‐cell monitoring leverages distinct physical interactions to access structural, compositional, and dielectric states of cells, enabling non‐perturbative, repeatable, and information‐rich measurements across diverse biological contexts. This review organizes representative platforms by intrinsic state variables and connects measurement ...

The approximate entropy of the electromyographic signals of tremor correlates with the osmotic fragility of human erythrocytes

BioMedical Engineering OnLine, 2010
Background The main problem of tremor is the damage caused to the quality of the life of patients, especially those at more advanced ages. There is not a consensus yet about the origins of this disorder, but it can be examined in the correlations between

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Comparison of classical and flowcytometric osmotic fragility and flowcytometric eosin-5-maleimide binding tests in diagnosis of hereditary spherocytosis

Türk Biyokimya Dergisi
Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is the most common congenital hemolytic anemia in Northern Europe and North America. Damaged or deficient proteins in the erythrocyte membrane cause the condition, leading to a decrease in the surface area and volume of ...
