Iodinated contrast media (ICM) are commonly administered pharmaceutical agents. Most
often they are used intravenously and intraarterially. Although iodinated contrast agents are …

This study was designed to investigate the dependency of the red blood cell deformability
upon activation of extra-and intracellular signaling pathways. Exposures of red blood cells …

There are evidences that red blood cell (RBC) deformation and aggregation change under
their incubation with catecholamines and it is connected with activation of intracellular …

RESUMEN A pesar de los grandes avances tecnológicos relacionados con el hemograma,

Exposure of red blood cells (RBCs) to catecholamines (epinephrine, phenylephrine, an
agonist of α 1-adrenergic receptors, clonidine, an agonist of α 2-adrenergic receptors and …

The administration of iodinated contrast media (CM) can cause microcirculatory disorder
leading to acute renal dysfunction. In a prospective, randomized investigation two CM …

The membrane of red blood cells consists of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded
membrane proteins and is associated on the cytoplasmatic side with a network of proteins …

Isoforms of the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were found in almost all cells of the
organism and an elevated activity of LDH in the circulation is thought to be a clear indicator …

Echinocyte formation is associated with a rigidification of the cells that may affect capillary
perfusion and, consequently, the tissue oxygen supply. This study examines how many …

Various radiographic contrast media (RCM) significantly influence the morphology of
erythrocytes, especially the formation of echinocytes [Scand. J. Clin. Lab. Invest. 35 (1975), 1 …
