To be more specific, the races are composed of catching and selling the horse-like beasts as soon as they mysteriously emerge from the sea.

distinct presentations of condition that are the deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and the pulmonary embolism (PE) [1]. The DVT condition commonly occurs in the deep vein of the lower limb or pelvis. Figure 1.1 shows the structure of vein at the lower limb. Furthermore, it can also develop anywhere in the body, such as the veins in the arm, abdomen, or around the brain.A blood clot that forms in the arteries is differed from the blood clots that form in the vein.

Venous thrombosis is a condition in which a blood clot (thrombus) forms in a vein. This clot can limit blood flow through the vein, causing swelling and pain. Thrombosis can occur in deep veins and superficial (surface) veins, and can occasionally break off and travel to the lungs (pulmonary embolus). Deep vein thrombosis is the most common type of venous thrombosis. Superficial Vein Thrombosis (SVT) — Leg vein clots in the superficial veins (veins near the surface of the skin) can cause pain,…
