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.

Artificial neural network analysis of malaria severity through aggregation and deformability parameters of erythrocytes

Authors: Jayavanth, Sanjay | Singh, Megha

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: The erythrocyte aggregation and deformability of blood samples obtained from normal subjects and malaria patients are determined by microscopic imaging and laser aggregometry techniques, and optical hemorheometer, respectively. By these techniques several parameters are determined but four parameters, aggregate sedimentation velocity (ASV), effective number of cells (ENC), process completion time (PCT) and mean filtration time (MFT), show significant variation in malaria patients compared to that of healthy subjects. For malaria severity analysis artificial neural network (ANN), based on feedforward‐error back‐propagation algorithm in a supervisory training mode is proposed. This network is first trained for different number of epochs ranging from … Show more

Keywords: Malaria, erythrocyte aggregation, deformability, artificial neural network, severity classification

Glomerular endothelial cytotoxity and dysfunction in nephrosis with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis

Authors: Futrakul, Narisa | Siriviriyakul, Prasong | Panichakul, Tasanee | Butthep, Punnee | Patumraj, Suthiluk | Futrakul, Prasit

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: Glomerular endothelial cell dysfunction (GED) with defective release of vasodilator has been delineated in nephrosis (NS) in vivo and in vitro studies. In NS with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), an immunocirculatory balance may be impaired due to defective anti‐inflammatory cytokine. This study aimed at simultaneous determination of both proinflammatory cytokine (tumor necrosis factor alpha) and an anti‐inflammatory cytokine (interleukin‐10) in NS with FSGS. An endothelial cell cytotoxicity (ECC) was also examined using nephrotic serum. It was shown that (1) the initial endothelial cell cytotoxicity was significantly different from the control, (2) ratio between tumor necrosis alpha and interleukin‐10 was significantly … Show more
