What Is Pulmonary Embolism? What Causes Pulmonary Embolism?
An embolism - from the Greek çİmbolos meaning "stopper" or "plug" - is the term that describes a condition where an object called an embolus is created in one part of the body, circulates throughout the body, and then blocks blood flowing through a vessel in another part of the body. Emboli (plural of embolus) are not to be confused with thrombi (plural of thrombus), which are clots that are formed and remain in one area of the body without being carried throughout the bloodstream.

DOD, VA, Congress Should Take Stronger Steps Toward Eliminating Tobacco Use In Military Populations, VA Medical Centers
Because tobacco use impairs military readiness, harms the health of soldiers and veterans, and imposes a substantial financial burden on the departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs, these agencies should implement a comprehensive strategy to achieve the Defense Department"s stated goal of a tobacco-free military, says a new report from the Institute of Medicine. DOD should gradually phase in a ban on tobacco use in the military, starting at military academies and officer training programs and among new recruits, the report says. DOD should also stop selling tobacco products in Army and Air Force commissaries -- Navy and Marine Corps commissaries already do not sell them -- and should stop selling them at a discount in military exchanges and other stores. In addition, Congress should allow VA to establish tobacco-free medical centers.

Canada And European Communities End World Trade Organization Biotech Dispute

Canada and the European Communities announced the end of a six-year World Trade Organization (WTO) dispute regarding the approval and marketing of biotechnology products. Sharon Bomer Lauritsen, Executive Vice President, Food and Agriculture for the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO), issued the following statement in response: "While it is a good sign to see that Canadian canola growers have gained some access for their exports, the European Union"s approval system for agricultural biotechnology products continues to be broken. It is plagued by political interference, undue delay and member state prohibitions. "There are now 70 products awaiting approvals - compared to 40 last year. There are no new cultivation approvals - in fact - France and Germany have imposed cultivation bans within the past two years. In addition, biotech corn is still not moving into the EU. "This situation impedes U.S. trade, despite the well-documented safety of agricultural biotechnology which has produced real results towards increasing crop yields, reducing production inputs and enhancing environmental sustainability. "The EU"s non-functioning biotech approval process has blocked U.S. agricultural exports to the detriment of American farmers and agribusiness, but also has prevented European farmers from benefiting from modern technologies that are used in 25 countries by 13.3 million farmers around the world. "Trade problems will continue to exist until Europe has a science-based, timely and predictable approval process, which could be achieved if the EU simply followed its own laws and regulations. "We urge the European Commission to normalize trade of products produced through biotechnology in a timely and science-based manner." BIO
