Modeling of arterial stenosis and its applications to blood diseases

Abstract

Blood flow in a stenosed tube has been modeled in the present studies. Blood flow is assumed to be represented by a couple stress fluid. Flow parameters such as velocity, resistance to flow, and shear stress distribution have been computed for different suspension concentrations (haematocrit), and for the blood diseases; polycythemia, plasma cell dyscrasias, and for Hb SS (sickle cell). The results have been compared with the case of normal blood and for other theoretical models. The importance of size effects in blood flow studies has been highlighted.

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
