Carotid artery stenosis is a condition that happens when your carotid artery, the large artery on either side of your neck, becomes blocked. The blockage is made up of a substance called plaque(fatty cholesterol deposits). When plaque blocks the normal flow of blood through your carotid artery, you’re at a higher risk of stroke. 2, record 1, English, - carotid%20artery%20stenosis
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Carotid artery stenosis is similar to coronary artery disease, in which buildup occurs in the arteries of the heart and can cause a heart attack. 3, record 1, English, - carotid%20artery%20stenosis

La sténose de l'artère carotide, également appelée sténose carotidienne ou maladie de l'artère carotide, fait référence au rétrécissement des principaux vaisseaux sanguins du cou. [...] Tout comme pour les artères coronaires du cœur, la plaque peut s'accumuler dans les artères carotides et provoquer un rétrécissement [...] Au fil du temps, ce rétrécissement peut entraîner des problèmes d'apport sanguin au cerveau, ce qui peut entraîner un accident vasculaire cérébral. 2, record 1, French, - st%C3%A9nose%20carotidienne

Side trawling was the original method of bottom trawling. A side trawler has two gallows, one forward and one aft, usually on the starboard side(the right side of the vessel when looking forward).

Le foudroyage par blocs [...] consiste à sous-caver un bloc de minerai de plusieurs dizaines de mètres de hauteur pour provoquer son foudroyage. [...] La base du bloc est découpée en entonnoirs, au-dessus des cheminées de soutirage qui permettent au minerai foudroyé de descendre par gravité dans les niveaux de raclage horizontaux. Le foudroyage est amorcé par le dépilage d'une tranche de minerai à la base du bloc et progresse dans la masse du minerai, puis dans les terrains stériles de recouvrement. 1, record 12, French, - foudroyage%20par%20blocs

An "omega" block so named because the flow about this block resembles the Greek letter "Omega". Cyclonic(counterclockwise) circulations can occur both southwest and southeast of the block(where low pressure is indicated on the diagram), and the weather near them can be stormy. Within the block, however, the weather is benign and warmer than normal.... A stationary high-amplitude ridge. Such a ridge often forms just off the West Coast of North America in winter.

One of three kinds of rim or caliper brakes whose action originates from the side of the wheel(usually the left side), using one pivot point for two caliper arms. They are activated by means of a sheathed brake cable connected at one end to the brake lever mounted on the handlebar and at the other end to one of the caliper arms. When the hand lever is squeezed the cable retracts within its sheath, pulling the right caliper toward the rim and exerting an equal and opposite force on the cable sheath which, pressing downward, forces the left caliper toward the wheel rim, in such a way as to press rubber blocks against the rim simultaneously, stopping the bicycle through pressure and friction. 4, record 18, English, - sidepull%20brake

This garment's new Entrant SC is coated on the inside with a microporous material and also covered on the outside by a revolutionary new, ultra-thin coating that shed water better than any known system.
