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.

Rheological properties of individual polymorphonuclear granulocytes and lymphocytes

Authors: Nash, Gerard B. | Meiselman, Herbert J.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: The mechanical characteristics of the structural components of polymorphonuclear granulocytes (PMN) and lymphocytes were tested by aspirating tongues from these cells into micropipettes with internal diameter (Dp) > ∼ 2um. PMN tongues deformed in a continuous manner, while lymphocyte deformation was slower and approached a limiting steady level. The greater rigidity of the lymphocytes appeared to arise from their large, solid nucleus, while the PMN cytoplasm acted as a viscous fluid at these large scale deformations. Overall WEC deformability was also tested by measuring the time required for complete cell entry (te) into … Show more

Haemorheology in treated polycythaemia vera: The role of hypochromic mycrocytosis and of plasma viscosity

Authors: Palareti, G. | Finelli, C. | Poggi, M. | Tricarico, M.G. | Fiacchini, M. | Ricci, P. | Tura, S. | Coccheri, S.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: Haemorheologic studies, were performed in 68 patients (pts) with Polycythaemia Vera (PV) under treatment by venesection alone or by cytostatic drugs with or without venesection. PV pts had higher haematocrit (PVC) and elevated whole blood viscosity (WBV) even after reconstitution of blood to 0.45 PCV, in comparison with a control group. MCV and MCH were parallely reduced. In the pts with marked hypochromic microcytosis prolonged erythrocyte filtration times (EFT) were recorded; however this finding seemed better attributable to the larger filtered RBC number than to impaired erythrocyte deformability. The supposed influence of hypochromic microcytosis, due to repeated venesections, on blood … Show more
