Some remarks about plasma mechanical resistance.
It is notoriously difficult to assess inflammatory activity in clinical practice and the profusion of proposed assessment methods bespeaks the inadequacy of each. It was these problems with classical methods that led the authors to the study of plasma mechanical resistance (a quantity related to viscosity). They describe the apparatus and the technical procedure, that is more germane to normal clinical practice. It is hoped that further studies will confirm author's findings.
