Renewed interest in the age-old concept of “bloodletting”, a therapeutic approach practiced
until as recently as the 19th century, has been stimulated by the knowledge that blood loss …

BACKGROUND AND AIM: The relationship between hyperlipidemia and blood and plasma
viscosity is not completely clear. While increasing viscosity is often reported with increasing …

Plasma viscosity (PV) and blood viscosity (BV) have been scarcely evaluated in morbid
obese patients with no other concomitant cardiovascular risk factors. Contradictory results …

Sessile drop formation, also called drop deposition, has been studied as a potential medical
diagnostic, but the effects of complex biofluid rheology on the final deposition pattern are not …

Objective: The association between testosterone replacement therapy and cardiovascular
risk remains controversial. Blood viscosity is a known individual risk factor for cardiovascular …

It has been suggested that increased erythrocyte membrane phosphatidylserine (PS)
exposure could contribute to hypercoagulability and hemorheological disturbances in …

The aim of the study was to evaluate the possible relationship of the hemorheological
disturbances with the clinical symptoms and some risk factors (RF) for cerebrovascular …

Increased blood viscosity has not been associated with mortality risk in coronary heart
disease (CHD). We aimed to investigate the predictive power of hematocrit per blood …

Purpose The first-pass effect (FPE), defined as complete revascularization after a single
thrombectomy pass in large vessel occlusion, is a predictor of good prognosis in patients …

Trace elements are crucial for vital enzymatic reactions in all metabolic processes. Zinc (Zn)
acts as a co-factor for many enzymes. Copper (Cu) and iron (Fe) have pro-atherogenic …
