ERYTHROCYTE SEDIMENTATION RATE DETERMINATION: APPLICATION OF VISCOELASTICITY MECHANICS IN MEDICINE

Abstract

Mechanics becomes important science at present day. It can be applied in several field including to medicine. Here, the authors discusses on the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) determination which is a basic laboratory test in medicine that is based on basic mechanics of viscoelasticity. The study on medical rheology of ESR is interesting and should be further topic for further biomechanical research.
