DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe task the editors have set themselves is to survey the field of clinical hemorheology from basic principles to up-to-date research. It is only in a new science like this that it is possible to span the whole field in a book of this size. Hemorheology, as a new approach to the study and management of a wide range of circulatory diseases, is now beginning to appear with increasing frequency in general as well as specialized medical journals. Hemorheology is also just beginning to creep into the undergraduate medical curriculum. Therefore, the majority of graduate doctors are unequipped to assess the place of hemorheology in the overall framework of circulatory physiology and pathology or to assess its relevance to their everyday practice. It is hoped that this book will fill this gap. The approach of the book is interdisciplinary. The first part deals with basic principles of blood flow, circulation and hemorheology. It has been written with the general doctor in mind, who has no special knowledge of hemodynamics and rheological concepts, terminology or methodology. To maintain the emphasis on practical clinical applications, all the chapters in the second part of the book have been written by clinical specialists practicing in the individual areas of disease. The book is so designed that clinicians may be able to read the relevant chapters in the second part of the book in isolation, using the basic science aspects contained in the first part of the book as reference chapters.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis series presents reviews covering all aspects of haemodynamics and haemorheology. Topics covered include the complexities of microcirculation, the rheology of blood and blood vessels, and the mechanics of blood flow in arteries and veins. The contributions aim to reflect the advances being made in experimental techniques and instrumentation for laboratory and clinical measurements and in numerical and mathematical modelling. Emphasis is placed on the scientific and engineering principles involved, but particular attention is also given to the clinical significance of this area of research. Topics covered by this volume include viscoelastic properties of blood and blood analogues; blood flow through narrow tubes; and numerical modelling of blood flow.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHaemorheology is the study of how the blood, the blood cells and the vessels can function and interact as parts of the living organism. It is presented in this text as a sensitive tool for the recognition of the functional evidences and defects of blood flow.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFrom the perspective of blood flow, blood has some unusual properties: it is a suspension of blood cells of which the red blood cells are most numerous and are both deformable (at moderate and high flow rates) and will aggregate under conditions of slow flow. Also, the cellular volume concentration is high (about 40-45%). These features cause blood to have variable viscosity, dependent on flow conditions, and cause both red blood cell sedimentation and syneresis effects under slow flow conditions (which can lead to rheological artifacts). These effects also cause unusual flow phenomena when blood flows in systems of small diameter vessels (especially for diameters of about 500 μm or less). These phenomena are seen in non-uniform cell distributions in vessel cross sections, a cell-poor layer of mostly blood plasma at vessels walls, non-proportionate cellular distribution during blood flow through vascular bifurcations, which leads to a very wide distribution of vessel cellular concentrations (from zero to systemic values) in the smaller vessels of the microcirculation, etc. All these phenomena are discussed in this book, as well as the difficulties presented by in vivo microvessels having non-ideal geometries.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Second Conference of the International Society of Hemorheology took place under the auspices of the University of Heidelberg from July 27 - August 1,1969 in Heidel berg. At this conference the name of the Society was changed to THE INTERNA TIONAL SOCIETY OF BIORHEOLOGY, since the members decided to enlarge the scope of the Society to include all fields of biorheology. Meanwhile the Society has become an Affiliated Commission of the International Union of Pure and Applied Biophysics. The abstracts of the scientific papers, as they appeared in the program of the Confe rence, have been reprinted in BIORHEOLOGY (volume 6, No.4, April 1970). This international journal has become the official organ of our Society. We are greatly indebted to the Honorary Chairman, Professor G. QUADBECK, Dean of the University of Heidelberg Medical School, who gave substantial aid to one of us (H. H. H.), the Conference Chairman, in organizing this international meeting. We are grateful to the Mayor of the City of Heidelberg who welcomed the participants and their families in the Cellar of the Great Barrel of the Heidelberger SchloB. We thank the members of the Ladies' Committee, Mrs. IRMGARD QUADBECK, Mrs. ELISABETH HARTERT and Mrs. KARIN KREITER, who arranged a most successful social program in Heidelberg and the romantic Neckar valley.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHemorheologic therapy has gained considerably in importance in recent years. This detailed and comprehensive book enumerates, discusses, and critically evaluates those treatment methods in which therapeutic success rests essentially on achieving an improvement in hemodynamics. After a general account of clinical hemorheology, fundamental aspects of hemorheologic methods and the eval- uation and assessment of hemorheologic parameters are discussed and the pathophysiology is described in detail. The treatment methods and substances that bring about improvement of the hemodynamics are described in chronologic order of first publication, and in each case all known later publications are also discussed in the order in which they appeared. This topical account of hemorheologic therapy - the results reported to date and the spectrum of applications - will be a valuable addition to the library both of the specialist and of all interested doctors in hospital and general practice.
