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.

Abnormal hyperdensity of intracranial blood vessels on non-contrast computed tomography scan (NCCT) may be found in cases with raised hematocrit. This finding not only simulates the appearance of a contrast enhanced CT scan but also may mimic dural ...

The Roles of C-X-C Motif Chemokine Ligand 10 (CXCL10) in Dengue
Early diagnosis of dengue is crucial to prevent the progression to severe dengue (SD) leading to mortality rate reduction. This study aimed to determine the role of the CXCL10 in dengue and its potential utilization as one of the biomarkers for the early

Point-of-care versus central testing of hemoglobin during large volume blood transfusion. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Point-of-care (POC) hemoglobin testing has the potential to revolutionize massive transfusion strategies. No prior studies have compared POC and central laboratory testing of hemoglobin in patients undergoing massive transfusions. METHODS: We

Capillary dysfunction impairs oxygen supply to parenchymal cells and often occurs in Alzheimer's disease, diabetes and aging. Disturbed capillary flow patterns have been shown to limit the efficacy of oxygen extraction and can be quantified using ...

The Body Hematocrit/Venous Hematocrit Ratio and the "Splenic Reservoir" [PDF]
Abstract 1. Red cell volume and plasma volume were measured by the radioactive sodium chromate and the chromic chloride method respectively in 37 patients. 2. The body hematocrit/venous hematocrit (BH/VH) ratio was found to be constant in normal subjects and in patients in whom there was neither splenomegaly nor edema. The

Increased plasma viscosity as a reason for inappropriate erythropoietin formation [PDF]
The aim of this study was to examine whether altered plasma viscosity could contribute to the inappropriately low production rate of erythropoietin (EPO) observed in patients suffering from hypergammaglobulinemias associated with multiple myeloma or ...

Venous Hematocrit: Caveats to Informing Blood Volume and Relative Risk in Chronic Heart Failure
Background Venous hematocrit (vHct) is commonly used to inform blood volume (BV) status and stratify cardiovascular risk. However, vHct defines a percentage of red blood cells (RBCs) to total BV; therefore, similar vHcts can reflect significantly ...
