Blood viscosity is an important determinant of local flow characteristics, which exhibits shear
thinning behavior: it decreases exponentially with increasing shear rates. Both hematocrit …

Deformability is an essential feature of blood cells (RBCs) that enables them to travel
through even the smallest capillaries of the human body. Deformability is a function of (i) …

The aim of this study was to (1) analyze blood viscosity, red blood cell (RBC) deformability,
and aggregation in hospitalized patients with Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID‐19);(2) test …
