چکیده

A new technique for continuous measurement of viscosityt and its application to studies of blood viscosity are described in this communication. For more than forty years viscosimetric studies of blood have been based on static, discrete determinations, such as that of Hess1 in which viscosity was considered to be inversely proportional to volume under given conditions of pressure in capillary tubes. The closest approach to continuous measurement of viscosity was described recently by Kristenson,' who attached a small pendulum to a container of blood and recorded the amplitude of the swings. By a large series of recordings, a "coagulation profile" of the blood was constructed. The viscosity of materials that change their physical characteristics with time, such as blood during clotting, is difficult to determine unless it can be measured instantaneously, continuously, and automatically. In August, 1950, a joint research program was undertaken to adapt a new ultrasonic instrumentt to dynamic studies of blood viscosity during clotting.

Blood viscosity during coagulation at different shear rates

During the coagulation process, blood changes from a liquid to a solid gel phase. These changes are reflected by changes in blood viscosity; however, blood viscosity at different shear rates (SR) has not been previously explored during the coagulation process. In this study, we investigated the viscosity changes of whole blood in 10 subjects with a normal coagulation profile, using a cone-on-pl...

گزارش سه مورد CVVHD) Continous Venovenous Hemodialysis)

Some of ICU patients with Acute Renal Failure (ARF) require dialysis. Conventional or intermittent hemodialysis (HD) may cause hypotension and insufficient loss of fluids and toxins from blood. Peritoneal dialysis also my cause peritonitis and has lower efficiency than HD. We did continuous Venovenous Hemodialysis (CVVHD) for three ICU patients with ARF in Saint-Zahra Medical Center for the fir...

Interrelation of blood coagulation and hemorheology in cancer.

Cancer progression is associated with activation of blood coagulation. Blood coagulation process, platelet hemostasis and hemorheological properties were evaluated in patients with solid tumors (n = 27) before and after surgery and in healthy control (n = 20). The main features of blood coagulation process in cancer patients were elevated intensity and shortened period of contact phase of coagu...
