An Investigation into the Use of Dried Blood Spot Analysis in Pharmacokinetic Studies
The ethical and practical issues of obtaining a blood sample pose a significant challenge to performing pharmacokinetic studies in children, infants and neonates. Dried blood spot analysis, based on the collection of a micro blood sample has potential to overcome these difficulties. There are at …

Nonlinear Dynamical Analysis Of Microvascular Red Blood Cell Flow
Microvascular red blood cell (RBC) flow is an enormously complex and dynamically variable process. Variations appear as temporal fluctuations within vessels, and spatially, along or between vessels in a network. These variations occur on many different time scales and highlight microcirculatory …
