Validation of a fractional model for erythrocyte sedimentation rate
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the validation of a recent fractional mathematical model for erythrocyte sedimentation proposed by Sharma et al. \cite{GMR}. The model uses a Caputo fractional derivative to build a time fractional diffusion equation suitable to predict blood sedimentation rates. This validation was carried out by means of erythrocyte sedimentation tests in laboratory. Data on sedimentation rates (percentages) were analyzed and compared with the analytical solution of the time fractional diffusion equation. The behavior of the analytical solution related to each blood sample sedimentation data was described and analyzed.

Fractional Calculus and the ESR test
We consider a partial differential equation associated with a mathematical model describing the concentration of nutrients in blood which interferes directly on the erythrocyte sedimentation rate in the case of an average fluid velocity equal to zero. Introducing the fractional derivative in the Caputo sense, we propose a time-fractional mathematical model which contains, as a particular case, ...

متن کاملCan we consider erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein as a severity index in pemphigus vulgaris?
Background: Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) are 2 inflammatory indicators that increase in many pathologic and physiologic conditions. Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is an autoimmune skin disease in which autoantibodies against desmogleins cause acantholysis. In this study we have measured ESR and CRP levels in patients with PV to evaluate the relationship between an ...
