Questions 1. Th e pediatrician described Jason’s pharynx‚ uvula‚ and tonsils as swollen and red. What are the four cardinal signs of inflammation‚ and how does each relate to changes in the blood vessels at a site of inflammation? Heat‚ redness‚ swelling and pain. 2. The exudate on Jason’s tonsils consisted primarily of neutrophils‚ and the CBC that was performed indicated that the number of neutrophils in his circulation was increased. What role do neutrophils play in the resolution

Bursitis is a disorder that causes pain in the body’s joints. It most commonly affects the shoulder and hip joints. It is caused by an inflammation of the bursa‚ small fluid-filled bags that act as lubricating surfaces for muscles to move over bones. This inflammation usually results from overactivity of an arm or leg. What is bursitis? Bursitis is inflammation of a bursa. A bursa (the plural form is bursae) is a tiny fluid-filled sac that functions as a gliding surface to reduce friction between

and atrophic scars that develop because of a loss of tissue. Acne scars are most often atrophic. When a pore in your skin becomes clogged with oil and dead skin cells‚ bacteria may start to form and the hair follicle pore becomes inflamed. The inflammation goes into the dermis and looks red and swollen. This is the beginning of acne. Eventually‚ a lesion will form such as a pustule‚ cyst or papule. As the pore becomes swollen‚ it breaks and a rupture appears on the skin’s surface. This is a minor

Introduction The word inflammation comes from a Latin word “Inflammare” which means “to set on fire” [1]. Inflammation is a protective response done by our body to protect itself from injury‚ foreign microorganisms as well as initiate healing and repair process. However‚ inflammation can also be potentially harmful to our body because of the chemicals involve in inflammation process which are capable to destroy and injure normal tissues. The components of inflammatory process are white blood cells

I. Intoduction Encephalitis is inflammation of the brain. Encephalitis is an inflammatory process in the brain parenchyma. It is associated with clinical evidence of brain dysfunction due to infective (usually viral) or non-infective processes. The pattern of brain involvement depends on the specific pathogen‚ the immunological state of the host‚ and a range of environmental factors. In encephalitis the virus initially gains entry and replicates in local or regional tissue‚ such as the

Inflammation caused by lupus might have an effect on the lungs in various ways‚ and may include the membrane lining of the lungs‚ the blood vessels amongst the lungs‚ and also the diaphragm. The most common approach that lupus will affect your lungs is through inflammation of the pleura‚ which is the lining that covers the surface of the lungs. The symptom of pleuritis that you might experience

COPD stands for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. It is typically caused by inhaled irritants such as tobacco smoke. It is a chronic inflammation of the airways‚ lung tissue‚ and pulmonary blood vessels. It limits air flow and is irreversible. The inflammation causes excess mucus production. This results in chronic cough‚ dyspnea‚ and wheezing. The inflammation response is caused by a grouping of cells in the airways from neutrophils‚ T-lmyphocytes‚ and other inflammatory cells that trigger

In viewing the future APN’s POI‚ Paleolithic diet and its effects on inflammation‚ through the framework of complexity science‚ the future APN will use the example of a complex adaptive system. In her concept analysis of complex adaptive systems‚ Lela Holden defined a complex adaptive system as a combination of different parts
