[edit] What

What about air embolisms in plants?

I've seen a yo yo yo to hydrogen peroxide causing a capillary embolism - anyone know what this is? 213.61.189.170 10:05, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Treatment?

This article has a lot of detail (albeit at times rather hard to follow for the layperson) about what embolisms are, but almost nothing about how to treat them when they occur. I came here via Ronnie Peterson, a racing driver who died of a "fat embolism" after a very bad crash in 1978, and I wanted to know how such a thing would be treated in 2007. 86.132.138.84 01:43, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
