Why is this important? Under normal circumstances, donor blood is the best replacement for blood. However, there are exceptions: During natural epidemics (e.g., HIV, Ebola, etc.) or man-made epidemics (terrorism, war, etc.), there is a risk of donor blood being contaminated, and donors being
The red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is a measure of red blood cell (RBC) size heterogeneity, which is easily calculated by dividing the SD of erythrocyte volumes for the mean corpuscular volume. Recent reporter suggested that, besides haematological diseases and anaemia, many human disorders
BACKGROUND OR INTRODUCTION: Stroke is one of the most debilitating diseases causing morbidity and mortality worldwide. During ischemic stroke, erythrocytes undergo oxidative and proteolytic changes resulting not only in inflammation but also in changes in cellular rheology. During the event, fibrin
BACKGROUND
Several factors influence on the outcome of ischemic stroke. The aim of this study was determination the relationship between stroke mortality and red blood cell parameters.
METHODS
This cross-sectional study was conducted from 2011 July to June 2012. For all patients with ischemic stroke
OBJECTIVE
To determine the incidence and risk factors of falls among stroke patients.
METHODS
A prospective cohort study was designed to study the stroke patients who were admitted to the Thai Red Cross Rehabilitation Center from February 2004 to July 2005. Related variables offaller and non-faller
BACKGROUND
There is no information about a possible association of red blood cell distribution width (RDW) with cryptogenic stroke (CS). We aimed to analyze the association of RDW with CS.
METHODS
One hundred and sixty-three patients with CS were included along with 186 healthy controls. Fibrinogen,
Over the past few years, it has been accepted that a moderate red wine consumption is a factor beneficial to human health. Indeed, people of France and Italy, the two major wine-producing European countries, eat a lot of fatty foods but suffer less from fatal heart strokes than people in
BACKGROUND
Several studies support the role of inflammation in the pathogenesis of migraine. Red cell distribution width (RDW), a measure of heterogeneity in the size of circulating erythrocytes, is associated with adverse outcomes in patients with heart failure and stroke. This study was undertaken
Reduction in red blood cell deformability is a contributory factor in stroke disease, and it has been postulated that red blood cell rigidification may be improved by drug treatment. In this paper the effect of vinpocetine (CAS 42971-09-5) on the deformability of red blood cells from patients with
A study was carried out in 49 recent cerebrovascular accident (CVA) patients to compare red cell deformability in this group with that in 65 healthy controls. Deformability was determined using a standard technique for measuring blood filtration time through a micropore filter. Filtration time was
Reduced erythrocyte deformability has been implicated in the causation of stroke. We have therefore tested this red cell property by filtration through polycarbonate membranes in 42 patients with either transient ischaemic attacks or completed ischaemic stroke together with age and sex paired
Red cell rigidity is an important hemorheological parameter determining the passage of erythrocyte through narrow capillaries and the reduction of blood viscosity under high shear rates. The changes in red cell rigidity in various diseases of altered blood flow - hypertension (HT), diabetes mellitus
