| Pulmonary embolisms occur when these blood clots travel toward the heart and block blood flow in the lungs. |

| Despite advances in treatment, diagnosis, and education, pulmonary embolisms can remain a challenge to diagnose. |
| Such pulmonary embolisms, leading to sudden death, can stem from immobilisation, multiple trauma and dehydration. |
| Insufficient removal of these air embolisms may result in serious water stress which may lead to early leaf wilting as previously shown in chrysanthemum cut flowers. |
| Cardiothoracic surgeon Ahmed Ajzan has already been honoured for his research into preventing embolisms during cardiac surgery. |
