People with thicker blood were less likely to survive hospitalization for COVID-19, according to an observational study. As estimates of whole blood viscosity at different shear rates, estimated ...
For hemorheological measurements, whole blood viscosity and plasma viscosity were determined using a falling ball microviscometer (AMVn-200, Anton Paar, Austria). 21 This instrument comprises a glass ...
More-viscous blood, which increases the propensity for clotting, is a sign that patients hospitalized for COVID-19 are more likely to do worse over the short term, according to data from a New York ...
The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology Committee on Obstetric Practice recently endorsed delayed cord clamping at preterm delivery. However, the committee report expressed the concern by ...

COLUMBIA — One University of Missouri scientist found a method to monitor and detect how thick or how viscous blood is using ultrasound technology. "What's not to like?" senior Research scientist ...
Blood viscosity is a measurement of the thickness and stickiness of an individual’s blood. It is a direct measure of the ability of blood to flow through the blood vessels. It determines how much ...
A research team led by MedUni Vienna has shown in a study that purely optical measurements of the viscosity of blood plasma may provide information about the severity and progression of COVID-19. The ...
Researchers in the US claim that exposing a person to a magnetic field could reduce their risk of a heart attack by streamlining the flow of blood around their body. While the work currently remains ...
Winter can quietly change blood flow, making it thicker and more prone to clotting. Doctors explain the science and simple ...
