It talks about "the importance of hyperhomocysteinemia in the pathogenesis of arteriosclerosis." No more or less.
 
I googled some of those words and got even more confused, by the time i have read up a few of them i have lost the plot.

Nothing that would qualify as mainstream medical science. Sorry, Wollie, but I'm deleting that link. If you'd like to continue asking about specific terminology without that link, that's fine.
 

Thread 'Aethelstan, King of the Anglo Saxons, first English King'

Historian seeks recognition for first English king https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9d07w50e15o Somewhere I have a list of Anglo-Saxon, Wessex and English kings. Well there is nothing new there. Parts of Britain experienced tribal rivalries/conflicts as well as invasions by the Romans, Vikings/Norsemen, Angles, Saxons and Jutes, then Normans, and various monarchs/emperors declared war on other monarchs/emperors. Seems that behavior has not ceased.
