After a short explanation of the topic and a methodological introduction, several recent biorheological findings are presented and discussed. Intrinsic viscosity measurements with lipoproteins show, that a certain type associates strongly in presence of Ca ions thus representing a risk factor for infarction. A rheological theory of rheumatic deterioration of knee joint synovial fluid is presented and suggested as a diagnostic aid. Finally, recent results in blood rheology are reported and their bearing on circulation problems and arterial obstructive conditions discussed.

The 2D echocardiography semantic automatic segmentation technique is important in clinical applications for cardiac function assessment and diagnosis of cardiac diseases. However, automatic segmentation of 2D echocardiograms also faces the problems of loss of image boundary information, loss of image localization information, and limitations in data acquisition and annotation. To address these issues, this paper proposes a semi-supervised echocardiography segmentation method.

Background: Dithiocarbamates and derivatives (including disulfiram, DSF) are currently investigated as antineoplastic agents. We have revealed earlier the ability of hydroxocobalamin (vitamin В) combined with diethyldithiocarbamate (DDC) to catalyze the formation of highly cytotoxic oxidized derivatives of DSF (DSFoxy, sulfones and sulfoxides).
Methods: Electron and fluorescent confocal microscopy, molecular biology and conventional biochemical techniques were used to study the morphological and functional responses of MCF-7 human breast cancer cells to treatment with DDC and B alone or in combination.

Hemodynamics play a central role in hemostasis and thrombosis by affecting all aspects linked to platelet functions and coagulation. In vitro flow devices are extensively used in basic research, pharmacological studies, antiplatelet agent screening, and development of diagnostic tools. Because hemodynamic conditions vary tremendously throughout the vascular tree and among different (patho)physiological processes, it is important to use flow conditions based on relevant biorheological reference ranges.

In vitro flow-based assays are widely used to investigate the role of platelets and coagulation in hemostasis and thrombosis. Their main advantage over other assays relies on the fact that they integrate blood flow that regulates many aspects of platelet function, including adhesion, activation, and aggregation. Blood flow is also central in the regulation of coagulation through its ability to modulate the local concentrations of coagulation factors within and around thrombi.

Blood is a non-Newtonian, shear-thinning fluid owing to the physical properties and behaviors of red blood cells (RBCs). Under increased shear flow, pre-existing clusters of cells disaggregate, orientate with flow, and deform. These essential processes enhance fluidity of blood, although accumulating evidence suggests that sublethal blood trauma-induced by supraphysiological shear exposure-paradoxically increases the deformability of RBCs when examined under low-shear conditions, despite obvious decrement of cellular deformation at moderate-to-higher shear stresses.
