Dr. Ruderman answers the question: 'What Is Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate?' — -- Question: What is erythrocyte sedimentation rate (sed rate) and how is it used to diagnose rheumatoid arthritis?

This page lists all known medications that could potentially lead to 'Increased Red Blood Cell Sedimentation Rate' as a side effect. It's important to note that mild side effects are quite common with ...

The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) remains a widely used clinical assay to assess systemic inflammation by measuring the rate at which erythrocytes settle in anticoagulated blood over a fixed ...

Silt-laden water spills over the top of Matilija Dam, operated by the Casitas Municipal Water District, near Ventura, California. Its reservoir is almost full of sediment, and a new plan for removing ...

Slowly but surely, the world’s reservoirs are getting gunked up with sediment. In an unblocked river, the flowing water carries bits of sediment along—picked up from river banks or swept into the ...

Suspensions may be acceptably stable to sedimentation for two reasons. Either the bulk material has a yield stress high enough to hold the particles in suspension, or the material has a ‘zero shear ...

A key element to understanding sediment flux is the determination of accumulation rates in areas of net deposition. How fast (or slow) is sediment piling up? How is that rate distributed in space? How ...

The sedimentation of a knowledge claim is studied by context-analysis of a key paper by the neuropharmacologist De Wied. This paper formulated the neuropeptide concept, which related neuropeptide ...

After 40 years of exploration, large-scale structural reservoirs have become more difficult to find in Kazakhstan's South Turgay basin. China National Petroleum Corp. (CNPC) has increased its reserves ...
