Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation - Volume 5, issue 3

Impact Factor 2024: 2.1

Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation, a peer-reviewed international scientific journal, serves as an aid to understanding the flow properties of blood and the relationship to normal and abnormal physiology. The rapidly expanding science of hemorheology concerns blood, its components and the blood vessels with which blood interacts. It includes perihemorheology, i.e., the rheology of fluid and structures in the perivascular and interstitial spaces as well as the lymphatic system. The clinical aspects include pathogenesis, symptomatology and diagnostic methods, and the fields of prophylaxis and therapy in all branches of medicine and surgery, pharmacology and drug research.

The endeavour of the Editors-in-Chief and publishers of Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation is to bring together contributions from those working in various fields related to blood flow all over the world. The editors of Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation are from those countries in Europe, Asia, Australia and America where appreciable work in clinical hemorheology and microcirculation is being carried out. Each editor takes responsibility to decide on the acceptance of a manuscript. He is required to have the manuscript appraised by two referees and may be one of them himself. The executive editorial office, to which the manuscripts have been submitted, is responsible for rapid handling of the reviewing process.

Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation accepts original papers, brief communications, mini-reports and letters to the Editors-in-Chief. Review articles, providing general views and new insights into related subjects, are regularly invited by the Editors-in-Chief. Proceedings of international and national conferences on clinical hemorheology (in original form or as abstracts) complete the range of editorial features.

The following professionals and institutions will benefit most from subscribing to Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation: medical practitioners in all fields including hematology, cardiology, geriatrics, angiology, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, ophthalmology, otology, and neurology. Pharmacologists, clinical laboratories, blood transfusion centres, manufacturing firms producing diagnostic instruments, and the pharmaceutical industry will also benefit.

Important new topics will increasingly claim more pages of Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation: the role of hemorheological and microcirculatory disturbances for epidemiology and prognosis, in particular regarding cardiovascular disorders, as well as its significance in the field of geriatrics. Authors and readers are invited to contact the editors for specific information or to make suggestions.

Blood viscosity and parodontopathic disorders

Authors: Gaillard, S. | Lotter, R. | Stoltz, J.F.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: Research has revealed that the rheological parameters undergo alterations during various pathological conditions. In this paper the authors present their rheological investigations during parodontopathic disorders. Two groups of patients were studied: – A group of 30 healthy control subjects. – A group of 33 subjects suffering from parodontopathy (gingivitis or parodontitis), but free from any general illness. The criteria for health or parodontal disease were assessed on the basis of two indexes: GI (gingival index, according to Loe and Silness) and PDI (periodontal disease index, according to Ranfjord). The results revealed: – A perceptible (but not significant) increase …in total proteins level in – the group of parodontopathic patients. – An increase in plasma viscosity, primarily in the subjects with gingivitis. – A significant increase in blood viscosity (+10%) at low shear rates (γ ˙ < s − 1 ) in all the subjects affected by parodontopathy. The connection between blood hyperviscosity and parodontal disease is discussed, both in relation to the inflammatory reaction and to the local nature of the parodontal disorder.

Filtration of dilute erythrocyte suspension as a measure of erythrocyte deformability and its relationship to blood glucose control in diabetes mellitus

Authors: Ritchie, D.M.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: The filtration of dilute erythrocyte suspension over 5 micron polycarbonate filters was examined as a measure of erythrocyte deformability in 20 insulin requiring diabetic patients and related to glycaemic control as assessed by fasting whole blood glucose and HbAlc. Twelve patients were reassessed after a period of improved glycaemic control. No relationship was found between filterability and whole blood glucose and HbAlc but there was a highly significant relationship p < 0.001 between the calculated residual leucocyte count of the erythrocyte suspensi on and filterability. The change in erythrocyte suspension filterability following a period of improved diabetic control was also …dependent on the concentration of contaminating leucocytes present on each occasion p < 0.05, and bore no relationship to improvement in diabetic control. Gross alterations of the erythrocyte concentration did not affect this linear relationship between the leucocyte concentration and pressure generated on filtration in either a normal or a diabetic subject. In both normal and diabetic subjects the leucocyte appears to be the major determinant of filterability in this low pressure filtration system. Show more
