Sooner or later, in most instances of the severe form of this disease, emboli from the ulcerations in the heart reach the different organs of the body, and of course the symptoms will depend on the place in which the emboli locate.
In this form the little vegetations are liable to become loosened, fly off into the blood stream, and cause emboli in different parts of the body.
In the malignant form the infection is probably more serious or the infective germs are more active, the ulcerations deeper, and the likelihood of emboli and the seriousness of such embolic infarcts more serious and more dangerous.
Whether milk or any other substance containing lime makes fibrin deposits on the ulcerative surfaces more likely or more profuse, and therefore emboli more liable to occur, is perhaps an undeterminable question.
The lodgment of emboli produces symptoms whose nature depends upon the organ involved.
In most cases, however, hemiplegia arises from emboli obstructing one or more blood vessels of the brain, or the rupture of some vessel the wall of which had become weakened by degeneration and the extravasation of blood.
The dissemination of the organisms takes place through the medium of infected emboli which form in a thrombosed vein in the vicinity of the original lesion, and, breaking loose, are carried thence in the blood-stream.
Infective emboli are the direct cause of the secondary abscesses that occur in pyæmia; and they are sometimes responsible for the formation of aneurysm.
Secondary abscesses are thus formed in those parts, and these in turn may be the starting-point of new emboli which give rise to fresh areas of pus formation.
The echinococcus has been found as an embolus, and it is highly probable that the cysticercus, the trichina, and other animal parasites may be disseminated as emboli over the body.
Thrombosis with softening and decomposition of the thrombus and embolism, causing local abscesses in the viscera wherever the septic emboli lodge, but without the development of any general infective process.
Wherever these poisoned emboli happen to lodge inflammation is set up in the adjacent tissues, and abscesses result (pyæmia multiplex).
The source of arterial and portalemboli is usually found with ease, while the pulmonary embolus may come from so wide a region, the body-veins, that much time may be spent before its place of origin is discovered.
The most frequent mechanical disturbance from the non-obstructing parietal thrombi of the heart and arteries results from the detachment of fragments and their transfer as emboli to remote parts of the body.
Such venous emboli are carried toward the heart, but are stopped on the way by the intrahepatic branches of the portal vein.
Is the formation of emboliin the terminal branches of arteries always dependent on the disintegration of thrombi?
Weber uses the name embolhæmia for the condition in which emboli are found in the blood.
The arterial emboli are carried toward the capillaries, while venousemboli are carried toward the heart.
The answer to this question must, I think, be a negative, although in surgical practice it rarely happens that the emboli take their origin from any other cause.
The first action of the emboli is the mechanical closure of these vessels, thus depriving the surrounding parts of nutrition to a greater or less extent.
Although most emboli are detached portions of thrombi, any foreign body of suitable size may become an embolus.
An appreciation of the laws of the transfer of emboli renders such a discovery almost certain.
There has been no satisfactory explanation of the manner in which such emboli pass the pulmonary capillaries to be lodged in the liver.
Panum, and afterward Cohnheim, produced gastric ulcers by introducing multiple emboli into the gastric arteries.
As is so often the case, the ulcer of the caecum produced no recognizable disturbance, and important symptoms were manifest only when the emboli lodged in the liver set up suppuration, when there occurred the usual signs of hepatic abscess.
Emboli may be lodged in the liver from thrombi formed in the peripheral distribution of the portal vein, or from distant parts of the systemic circulation, as in bone diseases.
Emboli conveyed by the portal vein will be arranged with a certain regularity and through the substance of the liver, whilst those coming from some part of the systemic circulation tend to form at the periphery under the capsule.
Isolated cases have been attributed to emboli in connection with valvular diseases of the heart (Parenski, cited by Daton), and to fits of anger (J.
It is evident that the emboli entering the systemic circulation are usually arrested in the pulmonary capillaries.
A micrococcus enters the dilated orifices of the sweat-glands, and, reaching the blood, first sets up an endocarditis, and then capillary emboli produce the articular inflammations.
Emboli derived from venous thrombi are sometimes carried into the pulmonary artery or its branches.
The course of pylephlebitis is compounded of the disturbance at the original point of disease, and of the secondary inflammation at the several points in the liver whereemboli set up purulent inflammation.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "emboli" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
