It’s beautiful.
>>large vessel occlusion, a type of severe ischemic stroke, is also safe and effective for treating children.
Children didn’t seem prone to occlusive strokes before the clot shot.
I’ve been researching this for the past week for a person that I have a medical power of attorney due to an ischemic cryptogenic stroke.
We subsequently determined that a Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) exists.
PFOs, can only occur after birth when the foramen ovale fails to close. The foramen ovale is a hole in the wall between the left and right atria of every human fetus.
This hole allows blood to bypass the fetal lungs, which cannot work until they are exposed to air. When a newborn enters the world and takes its first breath, the foramen ovale closes, and within a few months it has sealed completely in about 75 percent of us.
When it remains open, it is called a patent foramen ovale, patent meaning open. For the vast majority of the millions of people with a PFO, it is not a problem, even though blood is leaking from the right atrium to the left.
About 25% of people have a PFO and don’t know it.
Problems can arise when that blood contains a blood clot and it passes throgh the hole and creates a stroke in the brain. For people without a PFO these tiny blood clots (individually called a venous thrombus) get filtered by the tiny capillaries in the lungs, after which the freshly oxygenated blood enters the left atrium, then the left ventricle.
What astonishes me are the psychological attributes that correlate to people having a PFO. There are several studies which identify the attributes including anxiety, psychotic episodes, .....
