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 studies are a noninvasive (the skin is not pierced) procedure used to assess the blood flow in arteries and veins. A transducer (like a microphone) sends out ultrasonic sound waves at a frequency too high to be heard.
