Died October 12.

Three years later, he's ripping through boot camp. Attending physician calls the improvement in his bloodcell count miraculous.

Some of you may remember that.

I'll show you an example of that real quickly.

It's less likely but sometimes a plaque could also go downstream, kind of form a thromboembolism.

This actual clot that forms, that can restrict the blood vessel, this is a thrombus.

Most of this is in developing countries, and the majority is in Africa.

It was a study to specifically ask, what's going on with women?

But, as a cancer doc, this is what I see.

This is highly thrombogenic material. Thrombogenic, very fancy word.

A health status of a nation parallels development of that nation.

These are years that we could get.

She suffers from a chronic illness.

Let's flip the table yet again

18.Rare diseases

So dystonia is a disorder affecting children.

He was taken off the Dutch ship in Martinique and died a week later of consumption. Oh...

It would be this thrombogenic material, the clots around it.

In the last video I called this a thrombosis but that's really not quite right, thrombosis is the formation of the clot that can restrict the blood flow, but when it breaks off, becomes an embolus, and lodges itself further off and restricts blood flow, this is called a thromboemoblism.

This was at a time that treatment actually existed in rich countries.

OK. Now let's move from sleep to diseases.

Fifty years ago, when I was a medical student in Boston, we were in the midst of the cardiovascular disease epidemic.

One out of two of you women will be impacted by cardiovascular disease in your lifetime.

So, thromboembolus is a more specific way of calling it an embolus, and once one of these things lodge themselves and block the blood flow, that's a thromboembolism.

So, it's not an option for low income patients.

No heart disease, nocturnal asthma or sleep apnea.

Thrombosis is the process of a thrombus forming.

What we drew in the last video and this one as well these emboli that are also clotted, they are also thrombi and emboli at the same time, this would be called a thromboembolus.

So a real skyrocketing of chronic childhood disease that includes other things

300 to 500 million cases are reported.

I want to tell you about another disorder.

Now when we talk about suicide, there is also a medical contribution here.

She graduated NYU, she has a heart condition.

And they go up to the cath lab and boom, boom, boom get rid of the clot.

Once things break off and become an embolus that's the general term for it and in particular, if it's broken off material that is due to a clot, it is a thromboembolus.

Similarly, we have the tools with which to ask the question

I have Friedreich's ataxia, a neuromuscular disease.

And we got to do the WlSE study and the WlSE stands for Women's Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation and I have chaired this study for the last 15 years.

There's no comparison at all.

Remarkably 1.1 million deaths averted every year.

Hopefully I'm not confusing too much these medical terms confuse ME a lot but I want to make it very clear, thrombosis is formation of a blood clot inside of a blood vessel than can restrict the flow of blood.

Elyn, you don't really understand

Okay, we can start with that. I say no.

Bellini's lymphocemia. It's an autoimmune disease.

It's made a mistake.
