The major determinants of blood viscosity are RBC concentration, plasma viscosity, RBC
aggregation and RBC deformation. RBC deformation is determined by the intrinsic …

The influence of cellular morphology on the rheological behaviour of human red blood cells
(RBC) and RBC suspensions has been examined for both fresh and ATP-depleted …

The SER allows the “deformability” of individual red blood cells to be quantitated by
determining their passage time through a pore (d= 5.8 μm, 1= 50 μm) under the shear …

In recent years there has been increasing interest in') aemorheology from clinicians,
pharmacologists, pathologists,~ hysiologists, biochemists and epidemiologists. While there …

Human red blood cells (RBCs) or erythrocytes have remarkable deformability. Upon external
forces, RBCs undergo large mechanical deformation without rupture, and they restore to …

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 …

Blood rheology tests are traditionally used for detection of organic disease and for
monitoring disease activity. More recently they have been used for prediction of blood flow in …

For many years the study of Red Blood Cell (RBC) deformability has been limited to
specialised hematological research institutes and this has hampered a widespread clinical …

To elucidate the pathophysiologic significance of red blood cell (RBC) filterability, we
measured RBC rheology with our own designed nickel mesh with 3-microns pores, smaller …

The influence of cellular morphology on the rheologic behavior of human red blood cells
(RBC) was examined for both fresh and ATP-depleted erythrocytes. Rheologic …
