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.
Stroke is a medical emergency and a leading cause of death in the U.S. It occurs when a blood vessel in the brain bursts or, more commonly, when a blockage develops. Without treatment, cells in the brain quickly begin to die. The result can be serious disability or death.
What Is an Embolic Stroke? Ischemic strokes are caused by blood clots. There are two types of ischemic strokes: embolic and thrombotic. An embolic stroke occurs when a blood clot that forms elsewhere in the body (embolus) breaks loose and travels to the brain via the bloodstream. Eventually, the clot lodges in a blood vessel and blocks the flow of blood, causing a stroke.
