Internal Combustion Engines Introduction Internal Combustion Engine‚ a heat engine in which the fuel is burned ( that is‚ united with oxygen ) within the confining space of the engine itself. This burning process releases large amounts of energy‚ which are transformed into work through the mechanism of the engine. This type of engine different from the steam engine‚ which process with an external combustion engine that fuel burned apart from the engine. The principal types of internal combustion

Cardiovascular risk factors There are many risk factors associated with coronary heart disease and stroke. Some risk factors such as family history‚ ethnicity and age‚ cannot be changed.

platelets to “help out.” Without the release of thromboxane‚ the platelets won’t come (stick) together‚ no clot will form‚ and the cut will continue to bleed. If you have a wound‚ thromboxane is an indispensable self-sealing material; but if you’re a stroke survivor‚ thromboxane’s ability to round up “help” to form a blood clot becomes potentially life-threatening. Antiplatelet agents‚ including aspirin‚ clopidogrel‚ dipyridamole and ticlopidine‚ work by inhibiting the production of thromboxane. Aspirin
