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.

Rheopheresis in vascular diseases

Authors: Melinda, Vass | Ágnes, Diószegi | Norbert, Németh | Viktória, Sógor | Sándor, Baráth | Eszter, Szalai | László, Módis | Soltész, Pál

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: Rheopheresis is an extracorporal selective double-filtration procedure. In the first part of the treatment the blood is passes through the plasma filter, which separates blood cells from the plasma. Then the plasma flow to a second filter called MONET (Membranefiltration Optimised Novel Extracorporal Treatment). The MONET filter retains high molecular weight proteins such LDL, Lp(a), fibrinogen, α2 macroglobulin, vWF and IgM. Hereby the whole blood and plasma viscosity decrease, improves microcirculation, and has a positive effect on lipid profile as well. Accorging to ASFA recommendation rheopheresis is a first line treatment in age-related dry macular degeneration and in sudden … Show more

Erythrocyte nitric oxide in glaucoma patients – ex vivo study

Authors: Esteves, Rita | Freitas, Teresa | Teixeira, Pedro | Napoleão, Patrícia | Neves, Carlos | Saldanha, Carlota

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Glaucoma is an optic neuropathy associated with vascular dysregulation and increased intra-ocular pressure (IOP). Timolol is used as treatment for reducing IOP, by limiting aqueous humour production. Increased NOS expression as well as decreased levels of nitric oxide (NO) metabolites, and high activity of erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase (AChE) were observed in primary open angle glaucoma patients. OBJECTIVE: This ex vivo study aims to evaluate timolol effect in NO efflux and its derivatives in glaucoma patient’s erythrocytes. METHODS: Venous blood from 15 glaucoma patients was collected. Erythrocyte suspensions were incubated with the AChE modulators acetylcholine … Show more
