- Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is a procedure to treat fibroids without surgery. Uterine fibroids are noncancerous (benign) tumors that develop in the uterus (womb). During the procedure, the blood supply of the fibroids is cut off. This typically causes the fibroids to shrink.

emulsification emulsification (in digestion) The breakdown of fat globules in the duodenum into tiny droplets, which provides a larger surface area on which the enzyme pancreatic lipase can act to digest the fats into fatty acids and glycerol. Emulsification is assisted by the action of the bile salts (see bile).

Vascular Lesion Embolization Imaging Embolization is defined as the therapeutic introduction of various substances into the circulation to occlude vessels, either to arrest or prevent hemorrhaging; to devitalize a structure, tumor, or organ by occluding its blood supply; or to reduce blood flow to an arteriovenous malformation..

- An embolism is a blockage in the bloodstream. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in a recompression chamber is the primary treatment for air or gas embolism. Decompression sickness is the formation of gas bubbles in body tissue and blood caused by a sudden decrease in pressure around the body. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in a recompression chamber is the primary treatment for decompression sickness. Anemia is a lack of oxygenated blood, specifically red blood cells (RBCs).

Pulmonary embolism Pulmonary embolism. (Redirected from Lung embolism) Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a blockage of an artery in the lungs by a substance that has traveled from elsewhere in the body through the bloodstream (embolism). Symptoms of a PE may include shortness of breath, chest pain particularly upon breathing in, and coughing up blood.

Stop Gap Coverage: What is it? Who needs it? Employers can buy stop gap coverage from private insurers. The National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI) also has sample forms for providing this coverage. Because this is a non-standard coverage, policies will vary in content and must be carefully reviewed.

About the procedure In the procedure, small, embolic particles are injected into the blood supply to the tumor through a tiny catheter. This results in tumor death by ischemia (blocking the flow of oxygen and nutrients). Bland embolization has several benefits. It can be used in conjunction with other treatments to shrink tumors before surgery or control blood loss. It can provide a primary treatment for your cancer if other treatments have failed or you are not a candidate for them.

Nosebleed Embolization is a procedure used to stop the bleeding from inside your nose. Medical glue or a small balloon device may be used to clog the blood vessels in your nose. Surgery may be needed if your nosebleed returns over and over long-term. An artery may be tied to stop bleeding.

emulsification the breakdown of large fat globules into smaller, uniformly distributed particles. It is accomplished mainly by bile acids in the small intestine. Emulsification is the first preparation of fat for chemical digestion by specific enzymes. See also emulsify. emulsification (ē-mŭl″sĭ-fĭ-kā′shŭn) [L. emulsio, emulsion, + facere, to make] 1. The process of making an emulsion, allowing fat and water to mix. 2. The breaking down of large fat globules in the intestine into smaller, uniformly distributed particles, largely accomplished through the action of bile acids, which lower surface tension. emulsification

Thrombolysis (Redirected from Thrombolytic drug) Thrombolysis is the breakdown (lysis) of blood clots formed in blood vessels, using medication. It is used in ST elevation myocardial infarction, stroke, and very large pulmonary embolisms. The main complication is bleeding (which can be dangerous), and in some situations thrombolysis may therefore be unsuitable.

Medical Definition of Embolism, pulmonary Medical Definition of Embolism, pulmonary. Embolism, pulmonary: The obstruction of the pulmonary artery or a branch of it leading to the lungs by a blood clot, usually from the leg, or foreign material causing sudden closure of the vessel.

Emulsification the process of making stable emulsions. Emulsification is most often carried out in industry by mechanically mixing the ingredients of the emulsion in various types of mixers, such as homogenizers and colloid mills. Acoustic (sonic and ultrasonic) devices—in particular, ultrasonic dispersion mills —are also used.

Thromboembolism What is Thromboembolism? 1  Thromboembolism: Lodgement of a blood clot causing blockage. 2  Thromboembolism: Obstruction of a vessel by a blood clot that has been transported from a distant site by the blood stream.  Thromboembolism: occlusion of a blood vessel by an embolus that has broken away from a thrombus.

Air Embolism An air embolism, also called a gas embolism­, occurs when one or more air bubbles enter a vein or artery and block it. When an air bubble enters a vein, it’s called a venous air embolism. When an air bubble enters an artery, it’s called an arterial air embolism. These air bubbles can travel to your brain, heart, or lungs and cause a heart attack, stroke, or respiratory failure. Air embolisms are rather rare.

Translations for Pulmonary Embolism Pulmonary embolism. Pulmonary embolism is a blockage of the main artery of the lung or one of its branches by a substance that has travelled from elsewhere in the body through the bloodstream. PE most commonly results from deep vein thrombosis that breaks off and migrates to the lung, a process termed venous thromboembolism.
