Abstract
Detection of blood diseases is one of the hardest branches of medical science. The human circulatory system mainly consists of three main components namely white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets. Many diseases are diagnosed based on qualitative and quantitative evaluation of these cells, such as cell’s quantity, size, shape and the color of the cells. For example, AIDS and blood cancer cause major changes in components of immune system i.e. white blood cells. Also, some features of red blood cells change in various diseases such as iron deficiency, anemia, thalassemia and other diseases like malaria. Rapid diagnosis and treatment of these diseases has a considerable impact on the...

Abstract
The effects of gravity and inertia dominate our experiences of the physical world. But as systems are reduced in size, phenomena such as diffusion, surface tension and viscosity become ever more important; at the microscale they can dominate and result in a world that operates very differently from the macroscopic world. Kidney is one of the vital organs in which fluid and mass transfer occur between blood flow in microvessels and urine in microchannels called nephron. The present work is aimed at applying microchannel theory to study renal system. First, a n efficient numerical orthogonal collocation method has been employed to solve the steady-state formulation of electrolyte transport in...
