Viscoelasticity of the human red blood cell.
We report here the first measurements of the complex modulus of the isolated red blood cell (RBC). Because the RBC is often larger than capillary diameter, important determinants of microcirculatory function are RBC deformability and its changes with pathologies, such as sickle cell disease and malaria. A functionalized ferrimagnetic microbead was attached to the membrane of healthy RBC and the...
متن کاملViscoelasticity of pediatric blood and its implications for the testing of a pulsatile pediatric blood pump.
Red blood cell hematocrit, aggregation and deformability, and plasma protein concentration influence the viscosity and elasticity of whole blood. These parameters affect the flow properties, especially at low shear rates (< 50 s(-1)). In particular, we have previously shown that the viscoelasticity of fluid affects the inlet filling characteristics and regions of flow separation in small pulsat...
متن کاملViscoelasticity of human alveolar epithelial cells subjected to stretch.
Alveolar epithelial cells undergo stretching during breathing and mechanical ventilation. Stretch can modify cell viscoelastic properties, which may compromise the balance of forces in the alveolar epithelium. We studied the viscoelasticity of alveolar epithelial cells (A549) subjected to equibiaxial distention with a novel experimental approach. Cells were cultured on flexible substrates and s...
متن کاملThe study of seroprevalence of human cytomegalovirus in healthy blood donors referring to Fars blood bank
Introduction: Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection is most often asymptomatic in immuno-competent individuals and has lifelong latency especially in leukocytes. However, CMV is a major cause of infection and death in immuno-compromised patients. Transfusion transmitted HCMV (TT-HCMV) can cause serious morbidity and mortality in certain patients who are at risk. In this study, we evaluated t...
متن کاملA thermodynamic theory of solid viscoelasticity. Part I: Linear viscoelasticity
The present series of three consecutive papers develops a general theory for linear and fmite solid viscoelasticity. Because the most important object for nonlinear studies are rubber-like materials, the general approach is specified in a form convenient for solving problems important for many industries that involve rubber-like materials. General linear and nonlinear theories for non-isotherma...
