Overview Map: Placer County Japanese American Businesses of 1940. Introducing Placer County Japantowns on the Preserving California's Japantowns website, historian David Unruhe writes: Located in the foothills east of Sacramento, the towns of Loomis, Penryn, Newcastle, and Auburn were once surrounded by peach, plum, and pear orchards. Japanese farmers worked on a majority of the fruit ranches in this part of Placer County and supported a local economy of Japanese businesses.
Pulmonary Embolism Death. Sometimes a blood clot can move into a major blood vessel and cause blockage. This condition is pulmonary embolism, which can cause life-threatening complications in case the clot is large. Usually, the clots are small but they can still cause damage to the lung.
Pulmonary Thromboembolic Disease. Approximately 300,000 people each year suffer from blood clots in the blood vessels of the lungs (pulmonary emboli). Some patients with pulmonary emboli develop chronic pulmonary thromboembolic disease. This is when the blood clots recur over weeks, months, or even years. These clots block the flow of blood from the right side of the heart, through the lungs, to the left side of the heart.
