He was also the ___MASK53___ in the psychedelic band Draw , and now plays in British metal band Absolute Power . Deep vein thrombosis , or deep venous thrombosis ( DVT ), is the formation of a blood clot ( thrombus ) within a deep vein , most commonly the legs . Nonspecific signs may include pain , swelling , redness , warmness , and engorged superficial veins . Pulmonary embolism , a potentially life - threatening complication , is caused by the detachment ( embolization ) of a clot that travels to the lungs . Together , DVT and pulmonary embolism constitute a single disease process known as venous thromboembolism . Post - thrombotic syndrome , another complication , significantly contributes to the health - care cost of DVT . In 1856 , German ___MASK84___ Rudolf Virchow postulated the interplay of three processes resulting in venous thrombosis , now known as Virchow ' s triad : a decreased blood flow rate ( venous stasis ), increased tendency to clot ( hypercoagulability ), and changes to the blood vessel wall . DVT formation typically begins inside the valves of the calf veins , where the blood is relatively oxygen deprived , which activates certain biochemical pathways . Several medical conditions increase the risk for DVT , including cancer , trauma , and antiphospholipid syndrome . Other risk factors include older age , surgery , immobilization ( as with bed rest , orthopedic casts , and sitting on long flights ), combined oral contraceptives , pregnancy , the postnatal period , and genetic factors . Those genetic factors include deficiencies with antithrombin , protein C , and protein S , the mutation of factor V Leiden , and the property of having a non - O blood type . Individuals suspected of having DVT may be assessed using a clinical prediction rule such as the Wells score . A D - dimer test may also be used to assist with excluding the diagnosis ( because of its high sensitivity ) or to signal a need for further testing . Diagnosis is most commonly done with ultrasound of the suspected veins . Prevention options for at - risk individuals include early and frequent walking , calf exercises , anticoagulants , aspirin , graduated compression stockings , and intermittent pneumatic compression . Anticoagulation is the standard treatment ; typical medications include low - molecular - weight heparin or a vitamin K antagonist . Wearing graduated compression stockings appears to reduce the risk of post - thrombotic syndrome . The rate of DVTs increases from childhood to old age ; in adulthood , about one in 1000 adults is affected per year . A blood test is a laboratory analysis performed on a blood sample that is usually extracted from a vein in the arm using a needle , or via fingerprick . Multiple tests for specific blood components ( such as a glucose test or a cholesterol test ) are often grouped together into one test panel called a blood panel or blood work . Blood tests are often used in health care to determine physiological and biochemical states , such as disease , mineral content , pharmaceutical drug effectiveness , and organ function . Typical clinical blood panels include a basic metabolic panel or a complete blood ___MASK44___ . Blood tests are also used in drug tests to detect drug abuse . In some of the United States , a blood test is required before marriage ; historically , this was previously true in more states . Evile are an English thrash metal ___MASK10___ from Huddersfield , formed in 2004 . The ___MASK10___ ' s debut album , " Enter the Grave ", was produced by Flemming Rasmussen at Sweet Silence Studios in Copenhagen , Denmark and was released worldwide in 2007 by Earache Records to critical acclaim by fans and critics alike . The ___MASK10___ ' s first reviews included a hail by " Kerrang !" as " Carrying the genre ' s whole ' revival ' on their shoulders ." Their second album , " Infected Nations ", was released on 21 September 2009 . It was produced by Russ Russell , with artwork from Michael Whelan . Evile ' s third studio album " Five Serpent ' s Teeth " was released in 2011 , also on Earache Records . A fourth album , entitled " Skull ", was released in the late spring of 2013 on Earache . Evile are currently working on a new album . Michael `` Mike '' Alexander ( 22 June 1977 -- 5 October 2009 ) was a Jamaican - British ___MASK30___ who served as the bassist of English thrash metal group Evile . On 5 October 2009 , Alexander died while on tour in Luleå , Sweden , due to a pulmonary embolism , a blood clot in the lungs . Evile unveiled a memorial site to Alexander on 25 October 2009 . Finland , officially the Republic of Finland , is a ___MASK78___ state in Northern Europe . A peninsula with the Gulf of Finland to the south and the Gulf of Bothnia to the west , the country has land borders with Sweden to the northwest , Norway to the north , and Russia to the east . Estonia is south of the country across the Gulf of Finland . Finland is a Nordic country situated in the geographical region of Fennoscandia , which also includes Scandinavia . Finland ' s population is 5 . 5 million ( 2014 ), staying roughly on the same level over the past two decades . The majority of the population is concentrated in the southern region . In terms of area , it is the eighth largest country in Europe and the most sparsely populated country in the European Union . The European Union ( EU ) is a political and economic union of ___MASK79___ states that are located primarily in Europe . It has an area of , and an estimated population of over 510 million . The EU has developed an internal single market through a standardised system of laws that apply in all ___MASK79___ states . EU policies aim to ensure the free movement of people , goods , services , and capital within the internal market , enact legislation in ___MASK17___ and home affairs , and maintain common policies on trade , agriculture , fisheries , and regional development . Within the Schengen Area , passport controls have been abolished . A monetary union was established in 1999 and came into full force in 2002 , and is composed of 19 EU ___MASK79___ states which use the euro currency . A ventilation / perfusion lung scan , also called a V / Q lung scan , is a type of medical imaging using scintigraphy and medical isotopes to evaluate the circulation of air and blood within a patient ' s lungs , in order to determine the ventilation / perfusion ratio . The ventilation part of the test looks at the ability of air to reach all parts of the lungs , while the perfusion part evaluates how well blood circulates within the lungs . As Q in ___MASK6___ is the letter used to describe bloodflow the term V / Q scan emerged . Huddersfield is a large market town in West Yorkshire , England . It is the 11th largest town in the ___MASK81___ , with a population of 162 , 949 at the 2011 census . Halfway between Leeds and Manchester , it lies north of London , and south of Bradford . Heavy metal ( or simply metal ) is a genre of rock music that developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s , largely in the ___MASK81___ and the United States . With roots in blues rock and psychedelic / acid rock , the bands that created heavy metal developed a thick , massive sound , characterized by highly amplified distortion , extended guitar solos , emphatic beats , and overall loudness . Heavy metal lyrics and performance styles are sometimes associated with aggression and machismo . Tissue plasminogen activator ( abbreviated tPA or PLAT ) is a protein involved in the breakdown of blood clots . It is a serine protease found on endothelial cells , the cells that line the blood vessels . As an enzyme , it catalyzes the conversion of plasminogen to plasmin , the ___MASK64___ enzyme responsible for clot breakdown . Because it works on the clotting system , tPA ( such as alteplase , reteplase , and tenecteplase ) is used in clinical medicine to treat embolic or thrombotic stroke . Use is contraindicated in hemorrhagic stroke and head trauma . The antidote for tPA in case of toxicity is aminocaproic acid . Thrash metal is an extreme subgenre of heavy metal music characterized by its fast tempo and overall aggression . The songs usually use fast percussive beats and low - register guitar riffs , overlaid with shredding - style lead work . The lyrics often deal with social issues and reproach for The Establishment , using direct and denunciatory language , an approach borrowed from hardcore punk . Pulmonary embolism ( PE ) is a blockage of an artery in the lungs by a substance that has traveled from elsewhere in the body through the bloodstream ( embolism ). Symptoms of a PE may include shortness of breath , chest pain particularly upon breathing in , and coughing up blood . Symptoms of a blood clot in the leg may also be present such as a red , warm , swollen , and painful leg . Signs of a PE include low blood oxygen levels , rapid breathing , rapid heart rate , and sometimes a mild fever . Severe cases can lead to passing out , abnormally low blood pressure , and sudden death . PE usually results from a blood clot in the leg that travels to the lung . The risk of blood clots is increased by cancer , prolonged bed rest , smoking , stroke , certain genetic conditions , pregnancy , obesity , and after some types of surgery . A small proportion of cases are due to the embolization of air , fat , or amniotic fluid . Diagnosis is based on signs and symptoms in combination with test results . If the risk is low a blood test known as a D - dimer will rule out the condition . Otherwise a CT pulmonary angiography , lung ventilation / perfusion scan , or ultrasound of the legs may confirm the diagnosis . Together deep vein thrombosis and PE are known as venous thromboembolism ( VTE ). Efforts to prevent PE include beginning to move as soon as possible after surgery , lower leg exercises during periods of sitting , and the use of blood thinners after some types of surgery . Treatment is typically with blood thinners such as heparin or warfarin . Often these are recommended for six months or longer . Severe cases may require thrombolysis using medication such as tissue plasminogen activator ( tPA ), or may require surgery such as a pulmonary thrombectomy . If blood thinners are not appropriate a vena cava filter may be used . Pulmonary emboli affect about 430 , 000 people each year in Europe . In the United States between 300 , 000 and 600 , 000 cases occur each year , which results in between 50 , 000 and 200 , 000 deaths . Rates are similar in males and females . They become more common as people get older . Signs and symptoms . Symptoms of pulmonary embolism are typically sudden in onset and may include one or many of the following : dyspnea ( shortness of breath ), tachypnea ( rapid breathing ), chest pain of a " pleuritic " nature ( worsened by breathing ), cough and hemoptysis ( coughing up blood ). More severe cases can include signs such as cyanosis ( blue discoloration , usually of the lips and fingers ), collapse , and circulatory instability because of decreased blood flow through the lungs and into the left side of the heart . About 15 % of all cases of sudden death are attributable to PE . Flemming Rasmussen ( born 1 January 1958 in Copenhagen ) is a Danish ___MASK80___ , ___MASK36___ , mixer and owner and founder of Sweet Silence Studios in Copenhagen , Denmark . Rasmussen is currently main ___MASK80___ / ___MASK36___ at Sweet Silence North in Helsingør .

Enter the Grave is the debut album by the English thrash metal ___MASK10___ Evile . Released on 27 August 2007 in Europe and on 25 September in North America and Japan , the album received generally favorable reviews and entered the UK Rock Chart at number 33 . It was produced by Flemming Rasmussen and recorded at Sweet Silence Studios , Copenhagen , Denmark . Rasmussen had produced three Metallica albums , which raised the profile of the album ' s release . The track " Thrasher " was included on the 2008 " Earache Thrash Pack ", a downloadable selection of songs for the music video console ___MASK37___ " Rock Band ". Northern Europe is the northern part or region of Europe . Although no definitive borders or definition exists for the term , geographically , Northern Europe may be considered to consist approximately of all of Europe above the 52nd parallel north ; which includes ( from west to east ) most or all of : Iceland , the Republic of Ireland , the Isle of Man , the ___MASK81___ , the Faroe Islands , the Netherlands , northern Germany , Denmark , Norway , Sweden , northern Poland , Finland , Estonia , Latvia , Lithuania and northwest Russia . However , narrower definitions may also be used based on other geographical factors , such as climate and ecology . Greenland , geographically a part of North America , is politically a part of the Kingdom of Denmark , and may be included depending on the definition . Michael Whelan ( born June 29 , 1950 ) is an American ___MASK67___ of imaginative realism . For more than 30 years , he worked as an illustrator , specializing in science fiction and fantasy cover art . Since the mid - 1990s , he has pursued a fine art career , selling non - commissioned paintings through galleries in the United States and through his website . Norway (; Norwegian : ( Bokmål ) or ( Nynorsk ); Sami : " Norgga "), officially the Kingdom of Norway , is a ___MASK78___ and unitary monarchy whose territory comprises the western portion of the Scandinavian Peninsula plus the island Jan Mayen and the archipelago of Svalbard . The Antarctic Peter I Island and the sub - Antarctic Bouvet Island are dependent territories and thus not considered part of the Kingdom . Norway also lays claim to a section of Antarctica known as Queen Maud Land . Until 1814 , the Kingdom included the Faroe Islands ( since 1035 ), Greenland ( 1261 ), and Iceland ( 1262 ). It also included Shetland and Orkney until 1468 . It also included the following provinces , now in Sweden : Jämtland , Härjedalen and Bohuslän . Infected Nations is the second album by the English thrash metal ___MASK10___ Evile . It was released on 21 September 2009 , in Europe and 22 September in the US . Stroke is when poor blood flow to the brain results in cell death . There are two main types of stroke : ischemic , due to lack of blood flow , and hemorrhagic , due to bleeding . They result in part of the brain not functioning properly . Signs and symptoms of a stroke may include an inability to move or feel on one side of the body , problems understanding or speaking , feeling like the world is spinning , or loss of vision to one side . Signs and symptoms often appear soon after the stroke has occurred . If symptoms last less than one or two hours it is known as a transient ischemic attack ( TIA ) or mini - stroke . A hemorrhagic stroke may also be associated with a severe headache . The symptoms of a stroke can be permanent . Long - term complications may include pneumonia or loss of bladder control . The main risk factor for stroke is high blood pressure . Other risk factors include tobacco smoking , obesity , high blood cholesterol , diabetes mellitus , previous TIA , and atrial fibrillation . An ischemic stroke is typically caused by blockage of a blood vessel , though there are also less common causes . A hemorrhagic stroke is caused by either bleeding directly into the brain or into the space between the brain ' s membranes . Bleeding may occur due to a ruptured brain aneurysm . Diagnosis is typically with medical imaging such as a CT scan or magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI ) scan along with a physical exam . Other tests such as an electrocardiogram ( ECG ) and blood tests are done to determine risk factors and rule out other possible causes . Low blood sugar may cause similar symptoms . Prevention includes decreasing risk factors , as well as possibly aspirin , statins , surgery to open up the arteries to the brain in those with problematic narrowing , and warfarin in those with atrial fibrillation . A stroke or TIA often requires emergency care . An ischemic stroke , if detected within three to four and half hours , may be treatable with a medication that can break down the clot . Aspirin should be used . Some hemorrhagic strokes benefit from surgery . Treatment to try recover lost function is called stroke rehabilitation and ideally takes place in a stroke unit ; however , these are not available in much of the world . In 2013 approximately 6 . 9 million people had an ischemic stroke and 3 . 4 million people had a hemorrhagic stroke . In 2010 there were about 33 million people who had previously had a stroke and were still alive . Between 1990 and 2010 the number of strokes which occurred each year decreased by approximately 10 % in the developed world and increased by 10 % in the developing world . In 2013 , stroke was the second most frequent cause of death after coronary artery disease , ___MASK19___ for 6 . 4 million deaths ( 12 % of the total ). About 3 . 3 million deaths resulted from ischemic stroke while 3 . 2 million deaths resulted from hemorrhagic stroke . About half of people who have had a stroke live less than one year . Overall , two thirds of strokes occurred in those over 65 years old . Pregnancy , also known as gravidity or gestation , is the time during which one or more offspring develops inside a woman . A multiple pregnancy involves more than one offspring , such as with twins . Pregnancy can occur by sexual intercourse or assisted reproductive technology . It usually lasts around 40 weeks from the last menstrual period ( LMP ) and ends in childbirth . This is just over nine lunar months , where each month is about 29 days . When measured from conception it is about 38 weeks . An embryo is the developing offspring during the first eight weeks following conception , after which , the term " fetus " is used until birth . Symptoms of early pregnancy may include missed periods , tender breasts , nausea and vomiting , hunger , and frequent urination . Pregnancy may be confirmed with a pregnancy test . Pregnancy is typically divided into three trimesters . The first trimester is from week one through 12 and includes conception . Conception is when the sperm fertilizes the egg . The fertilized egg then travels down the fallopian tube and attaches to the inside of the uterus , where it begins to form the fetus and placenta . The first trimester carries the highest risk of miscarriage ( natural death of embryo or fetus ). The second trimester is from week 13 through 28 . Around the middle of the second trimester , movement of the fetus may be felt . At 28 weeks , more than 90 % of babies can survive outside of the uterus if provided high - quality medical care . The third trimester is from 29 weeks through 40 weeks . Prenatal care improves pregnancy outcomes . Prenatal care may include taking ___MASK23___ folic acid , avoiding drugs and alcohol , regular exercise , blood tests , and regular physical examinations . Complications of pregnancy may include high blood pressure of pregnancy , gestational diabetes , iron - deficiency anemia , and severe nausea and vomiting among others . Term pregnancy is 37 to 41 weeks , with early term being 37 and 38 weeks , full term 39 and 40 weeks , and late term 41 weeks . After 41 weeks , it is known as post term . Babies born before 37 weeks are preterm and are at higher risk of health problems such as cerebral palsy . Delivery before 39 weeks by labor induction or caesarean section is not recommended unless required for other medical reasons . About 213 million pregnancies occurred in 2012 , of which , 190 million were in the developing world and 23 million were in the developed world . The number of pregnancies in women ages 15 to 44 is 133 per 1 , 000 women . About 10 % to 15 % of recognized pregnancies end in miscarriage . In 2013 , complications of pregnancy resulted in 293 , 000 deaths , down from 377 , 000 deaths in 1990 . Common causes include maternal bleeding , complications of abortion , high blood pressure of pregnancy , maternal sepsis , and obstructed labor . Globally , 40 % of pregnancies are unplanned . Half of unplanned pregnancies are aborted . Among unintended pregnancies in the United States , 60 % of the women used birth control to some extent during the month pregnancy occurred . Denmark is a Scandinavian country in Europe . The southernmost and smallest of the Nordic countries , it is south - west of Sweden and south of Norway , and bordered to the south by Germany . The Kingdom of Denmark is the ___MASK78___ state that comprises Denmark proper and two autonomous constituent countries in the North Atlantic Ocean : the Faroe Islands and Greenland . Denmark has a total area of , and a population of 5 . 7 million . The country consists of a peninsula , Jutland , and an archipelago of 443 named islands , with the largest being Zealand and Funen . The islands are characterised by flat , arable land and sandy coasts , low elevation and a temperate climate . Sweden , officially the Kingdom of Sweden ( Swedish : ), is a Scandinavian country in Northern Europe . It borders Norway to the west and Finland to the east , and is connected to Denmark in the southwest by a bridge - tunnel across the Öresund . At , Sweden is the third - largest country in the European Union by area , with a total population of 10 . 0 million . Sweden consequently has a low population density of , with the highest concentration in the southern half of the country . Approximately 85 % of the population lives in urban areas .
