Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) aims at quantifying interactions between ultrasound and
biological tissues. QUS techniques extract fundamental physical properties of tissues based …

Existing effective treatments for ischemic stroke restore blood supply to the ischemic region
using thrombolysis or mechanical removal of clot. However, it is increasingly recognized that …

In this article, we describe the general features of red blood cell membranes and their effect
on blood flow and blood rheology. We first present a basic description of membranes and …

Background: Thrombosis of the left internal jugular vein in an astronaut aboard the
International Space Station was recently described, incidentally discovered during a …

Previous studies on red blood cell (RBC) aggregation have elucidated the inverse
relationship between shear rate and RBC aggregation under Poiseuille flow. However, the …

The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is one of the oldest medical diagnostic tools.
However, currently there is some debate on the structure formed by the cells during the …

The aggregation of red blood cells (RBCs) in normal blood (non-coagulation) has been
quantitatively measured by blood pulsatile flow based on multiple-frequency electrical …

BACKGROUND: An enhanced inflammatory response is a trigger to the production of blood
macromolecules involved in abnormally high levels of erythrocyte aggregation. OBJECTIVE …

Introduction In this study, we utilized the pulsed photoacoustic (PA) technique to analyze
globular sedimentation in whole human blood, with a focus on distinguishing between …

Erythrocyte deformability correlates with various diseases. Single-cell measurements via
optical tweezers (OTs) enable quantitative exploration but may encounter inaccuracies due …
