Prefixes are key morphemes in English vocabulary that begin words. The prefix con-, which means âwithâ or âthoroughly,â appears in numerous English vocabulary words, for example: connect, consensus, and conclude. An easy way to remember that the prefix con means âwithâ is through the word connect, or join âwith.â A way to remember that it means âthoroughlyâ is through conclude, or âthoroughlyâ close a matter.
Vascular surgery. Vascular surgery is a surgical subspecialty in which diseases of the vascular system, or arteries, veins and lymphatic circulation, are managed by medical therapy, minimally-invasive catheter procedures, and surgical reconstruction.
Vascular conditions affect the veins and arteries in your body, which conduct oxygen to every living cell. Think of your veins and arteries as expressways or rivers. When there are traffic jams or road construction, or when dams break, trouble ensues. But in most cases, vascular conditions are highly treatable, often without surgery. It is important to see a vascular surgeon, even when surgery is not needed.
