Suspensions of canine and human erythocytes hardened with acetaldehyde differ from the
suspensions of normal erythrocytes with respect to their rheological behavior. Normal …

The viscosity of suspensions of human erythrocytes (normal cells in plasma, normal cells in
Ringer's solution containing albumin, and hardened cells in Ringer's solution containing …

METHODS Preparation of samples. Blood was drawn into heparinized syringes from healthy
human donors. The plasma and the buffy coat were removed after centrifugation …

The effect of shear force (depending on shear rate and viscosity of extracellular medium)
and hematocrit of RBC suspension on RBC deformation was studied quantitatively using a …

The addition of purified canine or bovine fibrinogen to suspensions of canine erythocytes in
Ringer solution caused an increase in viscosity and the formation of aggregates of …

Red cells dispersed in a continuous medium of high viscosity possess the flow properties of
fluid drops. The cells at rest are biconcave, while under shear they become progressively …

METHODS All chemicals were reagent grade made up in twice-distilled water. The saline
was 145 mM aqueous sodium chloride solution made 0.3 mM with respect to sodium …

The viscosity of blood at high rates of shear is unusually low compared to other suspensions
of similar concentration. The underlying mechanisms were studied by rotational viscometry …

When whole human blood is subjected to viscometric flow, individual red cells are seen to
be elongated and oriented in the shear field. In addition, a tank tread-like motion of the …

Erythrocyte deformability was formerly measured by its contribution to whole blood viscosity.
It is now more commonly measured by filtration of erythrocytes through, or aspiration into …
