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.
Abstract: Fluorocarbon emulsion were selected as intravascular carriers of respiratory gase because of their high capacity for dissolving them. For F-66E emulsion to be used medically, it is important to know the hemorheological consequences of a mixture of such an emulsion with blood. The present study is designed to investigate the rheological properties of red blood cell suspensions in F-66E emulsion and in each of its components, at fixed hematocrit (45 %) or variable hematocrit. Three different techniques are used: viscometry in static and dynamic flow conditions, aggregometry and flltrometry. The results indicate no perturbation of standard rheological properties of blood…in the presence of F-66E emulsion.

Abstract: In this study adhesivity of leucocytes, neutrophil granulocytes and lymphocytes was compared using 3 different anticoagulants (Li-Heparin, Hirudin, EDTA) in a filtration test. Samples of 10 apparently healthy subjects were used. The filtration rate of leucocytes depends significantly on the anticoagulant (p=0.001). Neutrophil granulocytes, in particular, show a strong adhesivity after use of hirudin. After filtration none of the 10 samples contained neutrophils. After heparin neutrophils were found in 2 samples, and after EDTA in 6 samples. Lymphocytes could be demonstrated in 2 of the heparin samples, in 2 of the hirudin samples, and in 8 of the EDTA samples.…The results show that the choice of an anticoagulant has an essential influence on leucocyte adhesivity. In future it has to be found out which anticoagulant ressembles the most the in-vivo conditions.
