Geometrical Aspects During Formation of Compact Aggregates of Red Blood Cells

Materials Research, 2002
In the past forty years considerable progress has been achieved on the knowledge of human blood as a non-Newtonian shear-thinning suspension, whose initial state, that is at rest (stasis) or at very low shear rates, has a gel-like internal structure ...

Rheopheresis, but Not Phlebotomy, Improves Cerebral Vascular Response to Hypercapnia and Neuronal Activation

Biomedicines
Background/Objectives: Several therapeutic approaches, including phlebotomy and rheopheresis, are used to improve hemorheological parameters. While the effects of phlebotomy on cerebral circulation have been described, the impact of rheopheresis on ...

Does sticky blood predict a sticky end? Associations of blood viscosity, haematocrit and fibrinogen with mortality in the West of Scotland [PDF]

, 2003
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 ...

Influence of physical activity on the values of hemorheological parameters

Quality in Sport
Physical activity is a major factor contributing to maintaining overall health and properly functioning circulatory system. One of the underlying mechanisms is modifying blood flow by influencing hemorheological parameters, the most important of which ...

Shear Stress Ameliorates Superoxide Impairment to Erythrocyte Deformability With Concurrent Nitric Oxide Synthase Activation

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
The cellular deformability of red blood cells (RBC) is exceptional among mammalian cells and facilitates nutrient delivery throughout the microcirculation; however, this physical property is negatively impacted by oxidative stress.
