“…Important influencing factors are the oxygenation, the temperature, the pH and the osmolarity of the micro-environment of the red blood cells [1,3,11]. Irradiation of various origins may interact with these factors at numerous points, by influencing the cell volume, the membrane integrity by oxidative damage and structural changes [7,10,15,24,29,32]. Since red blood cell deformability plays important role in determining blood flow and microcirculation [1,8,19,20], these changes may cause further alteration in tissue perfusion.…”

“…Study by Heu et al 8 failed to find any change in local circulation in healthy tissues. Interestingly, an older study by Mi et al 10 suggested that laser may increase the deformability of the erythrocyte molecule with implications for both increasing the rate of erythrocyte flow through peripheral capillary beds and availability of the hemoglobin molecule within the red blood cells.…”

“…The RBC membrane can undergo large deformations and the cell shape is squeezed to a diameter of 3µm while flowing through the vessel. Deformed RBCs may increase blood viscosity and flow resistance, thus resulting in myocardial infarction and apoplexy (Mi et al, 2006). The circulation phenomenon can be aggravated under the presence of a pathological condition such as stenosis inside the microvessel, such as stenosis (Pozrikidis, 2003;Bagchi, 2007).…”
