No footnotes date December 2008 Hemodynamics or haemodynamics in British English , meaning literally blood movement is the study of blood flow or the circulation. All animal cells require oxygen O sub 2 sub for the conversion of carbohydrates, fats and proteins into carbon dioxide CO sub 2 sub , water and energy in a process known as aerobic respiration. The circulatory system functions to transport the blood to deliver O sub 2 sub , nutrients and chemicals to the Cell biology cells of the body to ensure their health and proper function, and to remove the cellular waste product s. The circulatory system is a connected series of tubes, which includes the heart , the arteries , the microcirculation , and the vein s. The heart is the driver of the circulatory system generating cardiac output CO by rhythmically contracting and relaxing. This creates changes in regional pressures, and, combined with a complex valvular system in the heart and the veins, ensures that the blood moves around the circulatory system in one direction. The beating of the heart generates pulsatile blood flow which is conducted into the arteries, across the micro circulation and eventually, back via the venous system to the heart. The aorta , the main artery, leaves the left heart and proceeds to divide into smaller and smaller arteries until they become arteriole s, and eventually capillaries , where oxygen transfer ... cells and organs, and all influence hemodynamics.

This specific condition can be related to cirrhosis with ascites in which ascitic fluid leaks into the pleural cavity. Hepatic hydrothorax is often difficult to manage in end stage liver failure and often fails to respond to therapy. In similar pleural effusion s, hemothorax this fluid is blood as in major chest injuries , in empyema pyothorax the fluid is pus resulting from chest infections , and in chylothorax it is lymph fluid resulting from rupture of the thoracic duct . Treatment Treatment of hydrothorax is difficult for several reasons. The underlying condition needs to be corrected, however often the source of the hydrothorax is end stage liver disease and corrected only by transplant. Chest tube placement should not occur. Other measures such as a Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt TIPS procedure are more effective as they treat the etiology of the hydrothorax, however have complications such as worsened hepatic encephalopathy.

Anemic infarcts also called white infarcts are white or pale infarct s caused by arterial occlusions, and are usually seen in the heart, kidney and spleen. These are referred to as white because of the lack of hemorrhaging and limited red blood cells accumulation, compare to Hemorrhagic infarct . The tissues most likely to be affected are solid organs which limit the amount of hemorrhage that can seep into the area of ischemic necrosis from adjoining capillary beds. The organs typically include single blood supply no dual arterial blood supply or anastomoses . The infarct generally results grossly in a wedge shaped area of necrosis with the apex closest to the occlusion and the base at the periphery of the organ. The margins will become better defined with time with a narrow rim of congestion attributable to inflammation at the edge of the lesion. ref Robbins Basic Pathology ref Relatively few extravasated red cells are lysed so the resulting hemosiderosis is limited and results in a progressively more pale area of infarction with time. Ischemic coagulative necrosis results and fibrosis of the affected area develops from the reparative response beginning at the preserved margins and working its way inwards. One exception to coagulative necrosis is the brain, which undergoes liquefactive necrosis in response to infarction.

Biorheology is the study of the flow properties of biological fluid s. Definition Biorheological research determine and characterize the dynamics of physiological processes at all levels of organization. They include the scientific and technological studies in a broad field that ranges from the rheology of macromolecules and macromolecular arrays to cell, tissue and organ rheology. Interrelationships of rheological properties of the systems or materials investigated and their structural and functional aspects. The term Biorheology , to apply to the rheology of living systems or materials directly derived from living systems, was first proposed by A.L.Copley at the first International Congress on Rheology. This biorheological approach applies in particular to molecular studies where changes of physical properties and conformation are investigated without reference to how the process actually takes place, how the forces generated are matched to the properties of the structures and environment concerned, proper time scales, or what structures or strength of structures are required. Biorheology examines and fields of molecular biorheological aspects, whether in animal or plant systems.The biorheology of disease is of equal interest with an emphasize the biorheology of physiological function in organs and systems. Biorheological analyses of pathological processes and their clinical implications include basic clinical research on hemodynamics and hemorheology.

Pulsatile blood flow in the body is a response to periodic variations in velocity. These pulsating characteristics have been shown to be a result of two pumps. As the primary pump, the heart causes the blood flow and velocity to oscillate from zero to very high rates as the valves at the entrances and exits to the ventricles intermittently close and open with each beat of the heart. The second pump is a result of the respiratory and skeletal systems which exerts its greatest action on venous flow. ref cite book last Trainor first Freida S. title Peripheral Vascular Surgery Hemodynamics of Arterial Pulsatile Blood Flow year 1973 publisher Appleton Century Crofts location New York pages 1 ref Specifically pulsatile patterns that result from the release of blood from the left ventricle show that they exhibit non liner, transient pulsations in pressure and flow. These create complex pulse patterns which are further propagated through the rest of the network. Given the complexity of these pulsations, it is nearly impossible to mathematically model such a flow using the standard Navier Stokes equations. Rather than give an equation that can model the flow, which has proven to be near impossible the Womersley number is used. This dimensionless number has been developed to give a measure of the frequency of pulsations rather than a model of the actual flow. Reflist Uncategorized date April 2011 ... more details

Edward D. Freis May 13, 1912 February 1, 2005 was an United States American physician and researcher, who received the Albert Lasker Award for his studies of the treatment of hypertension . Born in Chicago, Illinois to Lithuania n immigrant parents, he had his eyes set on becoming an actor. After a few shows, however, he realized that acting was not for him, and he decided to be a doctor. Freis attended the University of Arizona and the Columbia University medical school. After graduation he joined the United States Army Air Corps , working in the medical corps during World War II . When the war ended, he met Doctor Chester Keefer , who had done penicillin trials. Freis decided that he wanted to become a researcher. He went to work for the United States Department of Veterans Affairs United States Veterans Affairs Administration in Washington, DC , specializing in the study of hypertenstion. At the time, it was felt by the medical community that high blood pressure was a good thing, because it improved circulation. But Freis s studies, first published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1954 then later expanded in the 1960s, showed that hypertension actually increased the likelihood of stroke and myocardial infarction heart attack . He was awarded the Lasker Award for his studies, cited for an exemplary demonstration of the potential of preventive medicine. In 1957, Freis was appointed professor of medicine at Georgetown University Medical Center. He was president of the Washington Heart Association and received an award of meritorious accomplishment from the American Heart Association . In later years, he moved on to the study of hemodynamics , the study of circulation. Publications The High Blood Pressure Book , with Gina Kolata, 1979 Persondata Metadata see Wikipedia Persondata .
