OBJECTIVE: It is predicted that Africa will have the greatest increase in the number of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) within the next decade. T2DM patients are at risk for cardiovascular disorders. In Sub-Saharan African countries, sickle cell trait (SCT) is frequent. Despite the pre

We simulated red blood cell flows through a finite length channel with a two-dimensional immersed boundary lattice Boltzmann model. The local instantaneous variation in wall-cell distance has been examined in details, and a nominal cell-free layer (CFL) thickness has been proposed. The CFL developme
BACKGROUND: Hemorheologic alterations or changes in blood viscosity have been suggested to play a role in the pathogenesis of microvascular complications in diabetes. We measured various hemorheologic parameters in type 2 diabetes patients at different stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and asse

Background Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is the most potent antioxidant of all the green tea catechins. The objective of the present study was to find out whether it improved the age-induced hemorheological abnormalities or not.
