Police Brief
One man guarded the clerk while
the other two rummaged through
the store’s office.
According to Sgt Jack Adams of
the Carrollton Police Department
the men escaped with only several
scratch-off lottery tickets. No cash
was taken.
The three suspects are described
as between 15 and 19 years old.
Adams said the descriptions of the
men and their car are similar to the
descriptions given in a home inva-
sion robbery in Carrollton last
week; however, he said, the police
department isn’t sure if the crimes
are connected.

FRIDAY THRU SUNDAY!
The formation of
blood clots in the veins
of the legs is a frequent
cause of hospitalization
and may lead to serious
complications. This dis-
ease, called deep venous
thrombosis (DVT), may
afflict anyone at any age.
There are several situa-
tions in which it may
occur. One is when a
patient is forced to lay in
bed for several days due
to some other illness. A
second is during long
periods of travel, par-
ticularly in cramped
quarters such as an air-
plane, car or truck. Oth-
er diseases, such as canc-
er may make a person
more likely to develop
blood clots as well.
The symptoms of DVT
range from very mild
tenderness to severe pain
and swelling of the leg.
The most dreaded com-
plication of DVT is a
pulmonary embolus.
This occurs when a clot
in the leg vein breaks

loose and travels to the
lung causing shortness of
breath and possibly even
death.
Although several
methods have been used
to diagnose DVT in the
past, the most common
method required the
injection of x-ray con-
trast material into the
veins of the foot to vis-
ualize the clot. Called
contrast venography, this
method is uncomfortable
and may actually cause
inflammation of the vein
itself. Recently, howev-
er, advances in ultra-
sound technology have
made possible the sono-

graphic examination of
the leg veins (venous
imaging). This tech-
nique has been demon-
strated to have a diag-
nostic accuracy nearly
identical to that of con-
trast venography without
the discomfort, risk of
contrast reaction, or
chance of inducing vein
inflammation seen with
contrast venography.
Further, ultrasound is
rapid, painless, requires
no preparation, and can
be repeated as frequently
as needed.
DVT is treated by the
administration of a med-
icine to prevent blood
clot formation. Heparin
and warfarin are the two
drugs most commonly
used in this setting.
If you should have
questions regarding dis-
eases of the veins or any
other health matter, see
your family physician
for advice and counsel.
