Transcapillary flow, which is important for tissue homeostasis, is influenced by the hydrostatic and colloid osmotic pressures of capillaries and interstitium. The interstitial fluid pressure (IFP) of ...

The clinical determination of the intravascular volume can be extremely difficult in critically ill and injured patients as well as those undergoing major surgery. This is problematic as fluid loading ...

In curved geometries the hydrostatic pressure in a fluid does not equal the weight per unit area of the fluid above it. General weight-pressure and mass-pressure relationships for hydrostatic fluids ...

A hydrostatic stress is one for which the diagonal terms of the stress tensor are of equal value and the off-diagonal terms are zero. For this situation the diagonal terms are equal to -p, where p is ...
