If a patient develops a blood clot in the femoral vein of the left lower limb and a portion of the clot breaks loose where is the blood flow likely to carry the embolus and what symptoms are likely?
Any clot breaking loose in a vein will eventually find its way to the lings, causing a pulmonary embolism. Since the vessels in the lings are so tiny, the clot(s) will clog the vessels and reduce the functional ability of the lungs. Once enough lung tissue is blocked, you can have a lung infarction (lung tissue death due to hypoxia). Generally, though, shortness of breath without exertion or light exertion will result. This is a medical emergency and should be treated as such.

Chest Pain Symptoms: Most Likely Suspects?
Chest pain and shortness of breath are most likely caused by angina, stress, anxiety, heart attack, indigestion and pulmonary embolism. While some causes are more likely than others, each kind happens frequently enough that it is important to take the symptoms seriously. Regardless of the cause, any instance of chest pain -- whether or not it is accompanied by a shortness of breath -- that either lasts longer than a few minutes or is on and off over the course of a few days and weeks should be reported to a doctor. One common cause for shortness of breath and chest pain is anxiety, which will usually also include a tight feeling and a rapid increase in heart rate. Any number of problems can result in this anxiety attack, including an anxiety disorder and stress. Relaxing and potentially antidepressants can assist with easing this. Angina is also common, which is when the heart muscle does not get enough blood flow. While this can signal a heart attack will be coming, it is not unheard of for the condition to rest in this state for years without worsening. Other symptoms will include sweating, dizziness, fatigue, pain the upper body and nausea. Stable angina can be left as is, but otherwise, surgery or medication will be required. Due to the serious nature and the accurate symptoms, a heart attack is certainly the most feared cause of chest pain and shortness of breath. Under any circumstance, this can be a fatal condition, and it will usually require drugs or surgery to clear the artery plaque when it does not end up to be fatal. It is always recommended to change a diet and create a new exercise plan to stop future heart attacks from occurring. It is difficult to figure out which condition is affecting a person without properly testing the individual, so if a person is experiencing any sort of chest pain along with shortness of breath, pain in the right arm, pain in the neck, chest tightening, nausea, fatigue, dizziness or vomiting should assume it to be a medical emergency. Note that not all symptoms need be present for a heart attack or serious illness to be present.

What is the Function of bronction?
Bronction, likely referring to bronchodilation, is the process by which the airways in the lungs widen or expand. This function is crucial for improving airflow and reducing resistance in the respiratory passages, making it easier to breathe. Bronchodilation is commonly achieved through medications called bronchodilators, which are often used in conditions like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). By relaxing the smooth muscles around the airways, bronchodilation helps alleviate symptoms such as wheezing and shortness of breath.
