diagnosed on time. The truth is, anyone can suffer a PE or deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which is the most common trigger for PE. The recent striking rise in cases of PE has provoked me to focus on this and thus alert every person possible to follow every possible preventive measure to avoid /delay becoming a victim of PE. As stated by Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), certain conditions heightens the risk, which include injury to vein due to fractures, severe muscle injury or major…

It is one of the more significant risk after surgery. It is the development of a blood clot typically deep in the veins of the patients legs. The trauma of surgery itself also increases the blood 's clotting tendency. Without the proper treatment, the odds of getting DVT after a big surgery are 25%. Always ask about the risk after having a major surgery done. Never…

effect is called VTE ( venous thromboembolism) which is a combination of PE and DVT (deep vein thrombosis.) What Does it Do? A lack of movement can create fat deposits with thickening at a junction (or split) in the veins. If it does not get treated then, the effects are starting to become fatal because embolus (or fat in veins) begin to break free causing bleeding inside the vein with inflammation of the vein causing it to be a bit narrow. Calcification start to appear (calcium salt.) The…

In Home Elderly Care and Venous Thromboembolism A venous thromboemolisms (VTE) is a fancy name for a blood clot that forms in the vein. When the clot is located in a deep vein, it is called a deep vein thrombosis. Should the clot break loose and make its way to the lungs, it becomes a pulmonary embolism. If it breaks loose and goes to the brain, it is called a stroke. According to the US Surgeon General, between 100,000 to 200,000 people die of VTEs every year in the United States, alone. The…

retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) is a blockage in the main blood vessel that carries blood away from the retina (central retinal vein). The retina is the part of your eye that senses light and that sends signals to the brain that allow you to see. CRVO can cause you to have blurry vision. It can also make you lose some or all of your vision. The condition usually affects only one eye. What are the causes? This condition is usually caused by a blood clot that forms inside the central retinal vein.…

diabetes-related abnormalities in coagulability and endothelial function. Diabetes mellitus has been considered as a potential risk factor for idiopathic (unknown cause of disease) Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) (karim Gariani, 2016). Moreover, DVT is a frequent and potentially fatal complication of patients with COPD. Deep Vein Thrombosis account for many deaths in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (Victor F. Trapson, 2005). The potential influence of inflammation on…

the diseases may be identical although the anatomy is truly different.There is no exact amount of the people that are affected by chronic venous insufficiency and deep vein thrombosis although the estimated range is from 300,000 to over 600,000 each year in the United States. Approximately 60,000 to 100,000 Americans die of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) annually, ten to thirty percent of people will die within one month of diagnosis (CDC. 2013 p.1). Pathophysiology of Chronic Venous Insufficiency…

supplies oxygen throughout our body(Jacobs). Pumped through a network of arteries and veins, blood is a very important part of our body. Without blood, we could not live. This is because it keeps us warm, fights off infections, and helps get rid of waste(Durani). Blood also transports oxygen and hormones throughout our body. Our circulatory system is made up of the heart and blood vessels. They also include arteries, veins, and capillaries. There are two parts to the circulatory system: the…

Introduction The thoracic cavity has complex networks of lymphatics which have a fundamental immunological function protecting intrathoracic organs such as the lungs, pleura, oesophagus and mediastinum. These networks drain interstitial fluid from the lungs, chyle from the gastrointestinal tract, and white blood cells and other immune components (Brotons et al., 2012). Thoracic lymphatics are involved in several diseases that most thoracic surgeons are concerned about. The most important…
