Objective: This study was carried out to determine whether changes in hemorheological parameters parallel the severity of essential hypertension.
Methods: A total of 198 older hypertensive patients were recruited and classified into 3 stages of hypertension according to the grading standard of hypertension. The whole blood viscosity (WBV) at various shear rates, plasma viscosity and erythrocyte rheology (including erythrocyte rigidity index, erythrocyte aggregation index and erythrocyte deformation index) were examined.
Results: Erythrocyte rheology paralleled the severity of essential hypertension and was significantly correlated to the average 24 h systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure. Logistic analysis revealed that erythrocyte rigidity and the erythrocyte aggregation index were positively correlated with the severity of hypertension, while the erythrocyte deformation index was negatively correlated. No association was found between WBV, plasma viscosity and the severity of hypertension.
Conclusion: The rheological properties of erythrocyte viscosity were correlated with the severity of hypertension in older people but the WBV and plasma viscosity were not.

Background: We aimed to contribute to the literature by exploring the possible relationship of PV with erectile dysfunction (ED), as in atherosclerosis-based vascular diseases.
Methods: Between October 2021 and December 2022, 99 patients who applied to the urology polyclinic with a complaint of ED were included in the study (Group 1). Fifty-two patients who applied with a complaint other than ED constituted the control group (Group 2).

Background: Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) is the primary intervention for treating symptomatic hyperviscosity from hypergammaglobulinemia, yet its efficacy for treating hyperviscosity related to hyperfibrinogenemia is unclear.
Objective: Define the safety and efficacy of TPE for critically ill COVID-19 patients with elevated blood viscosity from hyperfibrinogenemia.
Method: A prospective, randomized controlled trial in critically ill COVID-19 patients at a single US healthcare system.

Objective: This study aims to explore the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on plasma volume (PV) variations in obese women, with a focus on understanding how menopausal status and age influence these changes.
Methods: We enrolled fifty-nine obese women (perimenopausal and postmenopausal), aged approximately 56.6 years in a six-week HIIT program.

The shear viscosity is a fundamental transport property of matter. Here we derive a general theory of the viscosity of gases based on the relativistic Langevin equation (deduced from a relativistic Lagrangian) and nonaffine linear response theory. The proposed relativistic theory is able to recover the viscosity of nonrelativistic classical gases, with all its key dependencies on mass, temperature, particle diameter, and Boltzmann constant, in the limit of Lorentz factor γ=1.

Objective: To study the effects of Changtong Paste on gastrointestinal function after colorectal cancer surgery.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 216 patients who underwent colorectal cancer surgery at the Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College from June 2021 to June 2023. Patients were divided into two groups according to their treatment plan: the control group (n=109), who received abdominal multi-source therapy irradiation, and the study group (n=107), who received Changtong Paste in conjunction with the same abdominal irradiation therapy.
