The goal of elucidating the biophysical and physiological basis of pressure–flow relations in
the microcirculation has been a recurring theme since the first observations of capillary …

Polysaccharides are naturally occurring complex molecules with exceptional
physicochemical properties and bioactivities. They originate from plant, animal, and …

We investigated microcirculatory perfusion disturbances following cardiopulmonary bypass
in the early postoperative period and whether the course of these disturbances mirrored …

Kinetics of optical tweezers (OT)-induced spontaneous aggregation and disaggregation of
red blood cells (RBCs) were studied at the level of cell doublets to assess RBC interaction …

We tested the hypothesis that high-viscosity (HV) plasma in extreme hemodilution causes
wall shear stress to be greater than low-viscosity (LV) plasma, leading to enhanced …

Hemoglobin (Hb, Mw: 64 500) and albumin (Mw: 66 500) are major protein components in
our circulatory system. On the basis of bioconjugate chemistry of these proteins, we have …

This analysis indicates that, even though the free radical biomarkers showed a substantial
increase over the last 3 years, the antioxidant number has remained relatively constant …

The consensus that iv resuscitation fluids should be considered as drugs with specific dose
recommendations, contraindications, and side-effects has led to an increased attention for …

Systemic parameters and microvascular and capillary hemodynamics were studied in the
hamster window chamber model before and after hyaluronan degradation by intravenous …

We review the experimental evidence showing systemic and microvascular effects of blood
transfusions instituted to support the organism in extreme hemodilution and hemorrhagic …
