Extracorporeal Circulation: Effect of Long-Term (24-Hour) Circulation on Blood Components
Extracorporeal circulation damages blood and causes harmful side effects such as stroke and/or systemic inflammatory response in patients. Reactions of blood components to extracorporeal circulation include complement and inflammatory reactions, coagulation and thrombogenesis, frank hemolysis, and …

Provision of Blood and Blood Components in the Event Of Emergencies // Осигуряване на кръв и кръвни съставки в случай на бедствени ситуации
Blood transfusions and blood components play an essential role in providing medical care to victims of disasters caused by natural and human factors. Depending on the type of event and the related injuries, a number of victims need sufficient blood components to be provided in a timely manner. In …

The Taste of Blood
<p>Human blood and floral nectar are both appetizing meals to a hungry female mosquito, yet each meal fulfills a distinct nutritional requirement. While protein obtained from blood is required for females to develop eggs and successfully reproduce, carbohydrates supplied from plant nectar are …

Preventing Blood Component Administration Errors
… to patients is human error; receiving the wrong blood component or one that is not compatible. A fatality subsequent to a blood transfusion is a devastation one cannot quantify. Blood transfusions are a routinely performed life saving intervention in the inpatient acute care hospital setting. …

An investigation of a theoretical model of willingness to donate blood
The Australian Red Cross Blood Transfusion Service (ARCBTS) in Western Australian faces a major problem with periodic shortages of blood components. These shortages are expected to become more frequent and severe as demand continues to increase at a faster rate than supply. Given that only five …

Polycaprolactone nanowire surfaces as interfaces for cardiovascular applications
… hemocompatibility (interaction of material with blood components), a property that depends on the surface of the material. A thorough understanding of the interaction of cardiovascular cells and whole blood and its components with the material surface is essential in order to have a successful …

Investigating the Role of Exercise-Induced Circulating Extracellular Vesicles in Adult Myogenesis and Neurogenesis
… but also hinted at contamination with other blood components such as lipoproteins and plasma proteins which impeded identication of any vesicle cargo increased by exercise. Methods used to enrich small extracellular vesicles from human plasma were consequently evaluated for their ability to …

On acoustic particle and cell manipulation in microfluidic systems
… The toolbox is applied to solve various blood component handling tasks, e.g. separation of lipid particles and other contaminating substances from red blood cells and preparation of blood components. The results imply that it is possible to save thousands of people from brain damage …

ANALYSIS OF ANIONS AND PROTEINS RELATED TO OXALATE METABOLISM IN HUMAN ERYTHROCYTES
… and less-invasive diagnostic assay called Dried Blood Spot Filter Paper Assay the detection of Primary Hyperoxaluria Type 2 (PH2), a disease characterized by the dysfunction of GR/HPR. GR/HPR activity was detected in erythrocytes at levels similar other blood components such as blood mononuclear …

PECVD of silicon and titanium based coatings to enhance the biocompatibility of blood contacting biomedical devices
… and the progressive reaction between the blood components and the surface of the implant. Proteins present in the blood will be the first components to become adsorbed on the surface of the biomaterial. Studies show that the protein fibrinogen present in the blood plasma is the major …

Biofilm formation in clinical and laboratory strains of Escherichia Coli and Campylobacter Jejuni
… This study investigated the effect of horse blood, human blood and human blood components on biofilm. formation by clinical and laboratory isolates of Escherichia coli and Campylobacter jejuni using a 96-well microtitre plate method, crystal violet staining and confocal laser scanning …

Systemic inflammatory regulation of blood-brain barrier inflammation
The endothelial cells of the blood-brain barrier are essential for the maintenance of homeostasis in the central nervous system. These cells act as a physical and transport barrier, restricting the movement of systemic immune cells and blood components into the brain. The physical barrier is …

Development and validation of an in vitro human model of drug-induced vascular injury
… with a high incidence. Affecting the heart, blood vessels and blood components, CV ADRs can lead to hypertension, heart failure, cardiac arrhythmias and thrombosis. The prompt identification of CV toxicity would reduce both the delay and cost of drug development and increase patient safety. …

A Physio-chemical Predictive Model of Dynamic Thrombus Formation and Growth in Stenosed Vessels
… in the world. Biomechanics and fluid dynamics of blood flow play an important role in CVD mediation. Shear stress plays a major role in platelet-substrate interactions and thrombus formation and growth in blood flow, where under both pathological and physiological conditions platelet adhesion and …

Plasma Volume Hematocrit (PVH): “Big Data” Applied to Physiology Enabled by a New Algorithm
<p>This work describes the ongoing analysis of blood noninvasively in vivo along with the in vitro validation of the algorithm. The blood is taken as two components, red blood cells and plasma, both of which cause elastic emission (from Mie and Rayleigh scattering) and inelastic emission (from …

Numerical Simulation of Unsteady Flows of Physiological Relevance
… (temporal and spatial distribution of the blood velocity) are not know. Additional difficulties arise due to measuring difficulties both in-vivo and in-vitro. The flow itself may be rather complex (time-dependent 3-D, transitional with locally strong effects of viscosity and unsteadiness, …
