CONT

Carotid endarterectomy(CEA) is surgery to treat carotid artery disease.... During a carotid endarterectomy, your healthcare provider will surgically remove plaque that builds up inside the carotid artery. He or she will make a cut(incision) on the side of the neck over the affected carotid artery. The artery is opened and the plaque removed. Your healthcare provider will stitch the artery back together.

Si le blocage est sévère et qu'il a récemment causé des symptômes, votre chirurgien peut proposer d'enlever la plaque qui cause le blocage. Cette intervention se nomme l'endartériectomie carotidienne. [...] Le chirurgien fait une incision au niveau de votre cou pour se rendre à la carotide bloquée. Il ouvre l'artère à l'endroit où se trouve le blocage. Il retire la plaque qui bouche la circulation du sang vers le cerveau. L'artère est ensuite refermée.

CONT

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.

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.

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.

Ochotona collaris is a medium sized pika averaging 17. 8-19. 8cm in length. O. collaris, otherwise known as the collared pika, is usually gray and has grayish patches on the neck and shoulders. These patches seem to resemble a collar, after which the species is named. While very similar in appearance to the American pika, O. princeps, the collared pika's creamy-buff coloration on the side of the face over the facial gland and white ventral coloration help to differentiate the two. Like other pikas, O. collaris has short ears, slightly larger hindlimbs than forelimbs, and a hardly noticeable tail. The collared pika has a relatively broad, flat skull, no supraorbital process and no fenestrae in the frontals.

There are three main types of necking technology... The first is die-necking, where the diameter of the can body can be reduced at one end or at both ends simultaneously. A necking ring-a kind of drawing ring whose ring diameter equals the outer diameter of the unnecked body on one side, and the desired necked diameter on the other side-is pushed axially onto the body. The neck geometry is thus shaped to the profile formed by the two ring diameters. An inner core prevents wrinkling and calibrates the exact neck diameter.

Choosing an external breast prosthesis after a mastectomy is one option for women who either elect to wait to have breast reconstruction or who choose not to have the additional surgery. An external breast prosthesis is an artificial breast form that can be worn after a mastectomy to help balance the body and anchor the bra on the side of the mastectomy from riding up, which helps prevent back and neck pain and a sagging shoulder. Breast prostheses are custom-made for most women and are made from several different types of material(such as silicone gel, foam, and fiberfill) that feel similar to natural breast tissue and are usually weighted so they feel the same as the remaining breast. Some prostheses adhere directly to the chest area and others fit into pockets of postmastectomy bras, which are fitted with pockets on the inside to hold the device in place.

A method of using the rein in which the rider communicates directly to the horse via his mouth.

CONT

For the direct rein, the rider’s hand moves from the regular hand position, directly toward the rider’s hip.

DEF

... a horse whose dual-colored coat pattern is comprised of white areas combined with another of the basic coat colors common to horses, making each Pinto unique.

CONT

There are two recognized Pinto color pattersn : Tobiano(Toe-bee-ah’-no) and Overo(O-vair’-o). The Tobiano patteern appears to be white with large sports of color, often overlapping on animals with a greater percentage of color than white.... The Overo pattern appears to be a colored horse with jagged white markings usually originating on the animal' s side or belly, spreading toward the neck, tail, legs, and back.

CONT

The words "Pinto" and "Paint" both refer to horses with a light and dark coat pattern, but actually the terms have different meanings beyond the coloration. Basically, Pinto horses can be of any breed, so long as they sport the colourful coat. Paint horses come from parents that are purebred, registered Quarter Horses or Thoroughbreds, and that sport the light and dark coat pattern.
