Thus, the first presentation covered ‘Stanley Mason’s Contribution to Biorheology’ and was delivered by Harry Goldsmith. six of the remaining eleven communications dealt with the rheology of blood. Eight Abstracts not dealing with clinical hemorheology are published in Biorheology, 27, Nr. 1, 1990. Five communications were presented under the heading ‘Rheology of Tissues’.
