The whole blood viscosity and the tissue oxygen balance were studied in rats and rabbits with alloxan diabetes. An augmentation of the blood viscosity was seen in female rats during diabetes latent period after injecting alloxan in a dose of 100 mg/kg. The blood viscosity is 3 times as high in diabetes, produced by the injection of alloxan in a dose of 200 mg/kg, and is characterized by severe hyperglycemia, simultaneously the tissue oxygen balance alteration is observed. Similarly the blood rheological properties and oxygen-transport functions are changed in female rabbits after injecting alloxan in a dose of 150 mg/kg. The blood viscosity of male rabbits with alloxan diabetes does not differ from that of the controls.

A study on the measurement of the reference range of the whole blood viscosity in Thoroughbred horses.

Vet Med (Praha)

November 2024

Department of Veterinary Surgery, College of Veterinary Medicine, Jeonbuk National University, Republic of Korea.

This study aimed to measure the whole blood viscosity (WBV) in racehorses using a new viscometer and establish reference values, as well as to investigate the correlation between the WBV and the haematological parameters and serum chemistry. WBV measurements were conducted on 51 Thoroughbred horses using a novel U-shaped scanning capillary-tube viscometer. The reference values for the WBV were determined at various shear rates ranging from 1 s to 1 000 s.

Background And Purpose: Numerous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of Chinese medicine injections (CMIs) in treating diabetic lower extremity arterial disease (Dia-LEAD). However, with the variety of CMIs available, it has become challenging to determine the optimal choice for Dia-LEAD patients. This study aims to compare and rank the efficacy of CMIs for Dia-LEAD to provide references and evidence for clinicians in optimising drug selection.

Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction after biventricular repair is critical in most adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD). Conventional 2D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measurement is considered as a 'gold standard' for RV evaluation; however, addition information on ACHD after biventricular repair is sometimes required. The reasons why adjunctive information is required is as follows: (I) to evaluate the severity of cardiac burden in symptomatic patients with normal RV size and ejection fraction (EF), (II) to determine the optimal timing of invasive treatments in asymptomatic ones, and (III) to detect proactively a potential cardiac burden leading to ventricular deterioration, from a fluid dynamics perspective.

Aneurysm dome and vessel pressure measurements with coiling, stent assisted coiling and flow diversion.

Acta Neurochir (Wien)

Division of Neurosurgery, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical School, 110 Francis Street , Boston, MA, 02215, USA.

Background: Variability in long-term endovascular treatment outcomes for intracranial aneurysms has prompted questions regarding the effects of these treatments on aneurysm hemodynamics. Endovascular techniques disrupt aneurysmal blood flow and shear, but their influence on intra-aneurysmal pressure remains unclear. A better understanding of aneurysm pressure effects may aid in predicting outcomes and guiding treatment decisions.

The current investigation explores tri-hybrid mediated blood flow through a ciliary annular model, designed to emulate an endoscopic environment. The human circulatory system, driven by the metachronal ciliary waves, is examined in this study to understand how ternary nanoparticles influence wave-like flow dynamics in the presence of interfacial nanolayers. We also analyze the effect of an induced magnetic field on Ag-Cu-/blood flow within the annulus, focusing on thermal radiation, heat sources, buoyancy forces and ciliary motion.
