âItâs often difficult to do find common ancestors between species using fossils, no matter what the organism,â said Hedges. Though the molecular clock is still regarded as somewhat controversial, said Hedges, it is gaining acceptance as our understanding of genome sequences improves.Itâs often difficult to do find common ancestors between species using fossils, no matter what the organism,â said Hedges.

Lifestyle changes can be key to managing carotid artery disease, including carotid artery stenosis and carotid artery occlusion. We offer one-on-one, personalized exercise and nutrition counseling and high blood pressure control through our cardiac prevention and rehabilitation program.
Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is a treatment for carotid artery disease. The carotid arteries are the main blood vessels that carry oxygen and blood to the brain. In carotid artery disease, these arteries become narrowed. This reduces blood flow to the brain and could cause a stroke. For a carotid endarterectomy, your doctor will surgically remove plaque that builds up inside the carotid artery. He or she will make an incision on the side of the neck over the affected carotid artery. The artery is opened and the plaque removed.
