The adaptability of red blood cells
The most important function of red blood cells (RBCs) is the carrying of oxygen, but they are also involved in inflammatory processes and during coagulation. RBCs are extremely deformable and elastic, as they are exposed to shear forces as they travel through the vascular system. In inflammatory conditions, and in the presence of hydroxyl radicals, RBCs loose their discoid shape. Here, ultrastr...
متن کاملRed blood cells storage lesion: the effect of blood donation time on biochemical parameters
Abstract Background and Objectives There is a circadian rhythm and diurnal variation in the redox capacity in blood plasma and there is a decrease in antioxidant capacity (TAC) during the RBCs storage in blood banking. So it is possible that donated blood, based on donation time, has a different antioxidant capacity and as a result a different biochemical response during storage. This study at...
متن کاملThe Relationship Between Severity of Hypothyroidism and Red Blood Cells Indices
Background and Aims: Thyroid hormones have an important role in metabolism and regulation of the red blood cells (RBCs). Thyroid dysfunction induces various effects on blood cells such as anemia through reducing the oxygen metabolism. For the first time, we aimed to determine the effects of severity activation of hypothyroidism on RBCs indices in patients with hypothyroidism. Materials and Met...
متن کاملOptimizing Red Blood Cells Consumption Using Markov Decision Process
In healthcare systems, one of the important actions is related to perishable products such as red blood cells (RBCs) units that its consumption management in different periods can contribute greatly to the optimality of the system. In this paper, main goal is to enhance the ability of medical community to organize the RBCs units’ consumption in way to deliver the unit order timely with a focus ...
متن کاملDog Red Blood Cells
Red blood cells from mature dogs contain less Na and more K than would be the case if they were in Donnan equilibrium with plasma. They have no ouabain-sensitive Na pump, and their membranes are deficient in Na, K-ATPase. Experiments are reported in which dog red cells were first loaded with supranormal quantities of Na and water and then reinjected into the dog. Over the course of 26-40 h the ...
