Wall shear stress (WSS) was calculated using the Hagen-Poiseuille formula τ W = 0.1 × 4 μQ/πr 3, where τ W is WSS in newtons per square meter (Pa), μ is the blood viscosity (0.
The degree of polycythemia was also greater in these animals than in previous reports, and might have contributed to the increase in pulmonary pressure due to increased viscosity [ 19].
Additional studies should examine changes in mucus layer thickness, mucus viscosity and permeability for bile acids associated with hetero- and homozygosity for CFTR mutations.
While the exact mechanisms of these changes are not well understood, the effect of strain rate on the stress-strain curves is produced in part by internal viscosity and energy dissipation [ 2 ] . Individually, these properties can be viewed as providing a protective mechanism under many circumstances in that they make the joint stiffer and stronger at high loading rates, at least up to their strength limits.
Kornmehl et al [ 2 ] have shown that an ideal masking agent should have moderate viscosity (between that of saline and 1% carboxymethylcellulose) and concluded that very viscous fluids would not cover irregular surfaces uniformly whereas fluids of inadequate viscosity would run off quickly exposing both peaks and valleys thus resulting in irregular surfaces after ablation.
