Kinetic Model for Erythrocyte Aggregation

Erythrocyte rheological properties but not whole blood and plasma viscosity are associated with severity of hypertension in older people

“…the inverse of erythrocyte deformability) and the erythrocyte deformability measurements were made in accordance with the recommendations of the International Committee for Standardization in Hematology [13]. Erythrocyte aggregation was measured in whole blood as a native hematocrit test using an instrument [14] designed by Tomita et al [15] consisting of a densitometer head that detects light transmission changes in whole blood during the aggregation process following a disaggregating agitation [16].…”

In vivo effect of aluminium upon the physical properties of the erythrocyte membrane

“…Data were processed according to the model described by Bertoluzzo et al [24], which yields two parameters that estimate: (1) aggregate size (s o /n o ); and (2) aggregation rate (2k 2 n o ).…”

Influence of the Biostimulation Laser on the Optical Diffuse Transmission of Blood

“…Bertoluzzo at al. [9] which research aggregation process either. The similarly results got S. Shin et al [10] which observed increase reflectivity (so decline transmission) of blood during disaggregation process, which is comparable with present in this paper.…”

“…In present of small amplitude of shear rate in a stagnation state the erythrocytes are proned to aggregation. This effect is actually known, and well described in publication [2]. The laser irradiation of the blood can change shape of the RBC and their prone to aggregation and disaggregation what can modify optical parameters of the blood.…”
