Midwestern grocer Hy-Vee plans to build an 8,880 square foot convenience store that will offer groceries, produce, prepared foods and a Starbucks Coffee location, as well as fuel service, according to the St Paul Pioneer-Press. The location will be twice the size of a typical c-store and will be the first of this format for Hy-Vee. Hy-Vee currently operates 16 convenience stores and 23 supermarkets in Minnesota. The company entered the Twin Cities market two years ago and currently has eight locations in the area.
Heart conditions and blood disorders also can cause blood clots that can lead to a stroke or TIA. For example, atrial fibrillation (A-tre-al fi-bri-LA-shun), or AF, is a common cause of embolic stroke. In AF, the upper chambers of the heart contract in a very fast and irregular way.
This leads to the death of some brain cells. Many strokes are caused by blockages of the largest arteries in the brain. A lacunar stroke involves smaller arteries deep in the brain that branch off the large arteries. Because the arteries are smaller, the amount of brain tissue they feed is smaller than the amount fed by the large arteries. Still, lacunar strokes can cause significant disability.
