Background: Studies measuring human growth hormone (hGH) in blood during exercise have mainly used venous sampling. The invasive nature of this procedure makes evaluation of hGH impossible in various ...

EKF Diagnostics, the global in vitro diagnostics company, has published an Educational Guide which provides a quick overview of capillary blood sampling best practice. It aims to help healthcare ...

The specimen of choice that enables the collection of small blood volumes from neonatal or critically ill patients is a capillary blood specimen. This specimen type has gained favour with many ...

BD will begin working with Babson Diagnostics to help bring its lab-quality device for collecting blood from capillaries into pharmacies and retail settings. The small-volume device, currently under ...

Although the clinical characteristics of childhood periocular capillary haemangiomas are well known, serial measurements of blood velocity and lesion size are unknown. This investigation was designed ...

New research has uncovered that capillaries have the capacity to both sense brain activity and generate an electrical vasodilatory signal to evoke blood flow and direct nutrients to neurons. All it ...

3D microvessels have been created to observe how red blood cells transit ultra-small blood vessels. They squeeze single-file through microvessels to bring oxygen and nutrients. Red cells burdened with ...

Scientists have discovered that all It takes is the flip of a protein “switch” within the tiny wire-like capillaries of the brain to increase the blood flow that ensures optimal brain function. New ...

Blood capillary and muscle fiber densities were measured in histological sections of heart and skeletal muscles of the fossorial mole rat (Spalax ehrenbergi) and compared with those of the white rat.

All it takes is the flip of a protein "switch" within the tiny wire-like capillaries of the brain to increase the blood flow that ensures optimal brain function. New research has uncovered that ...
