Inflammatory mediators mainly perform defensive roles. These will be triggered as defense mechanism in response to damaged living tissues in living organisms.

Explain the mechanism by which mechanical stimulation of the skin produces a flare?
As found on Page 504 of the Pearson Human Anatomy and Physiology Laboratory Manual 9th edition.The redness or flare observed after mechanical stimulation of the skin results from a local inflammatory response promoted by chemical mediators released by injured tissues.These mediators stimulate increased blood flow into the area and leaking of fluid (from the capillaries) into the local tissues.Note about an extremely sensitive skin condition:Dermatographism: a condition in which the direct line of stimulation will swell quite obviously is called a "wheal".
What is an example of a eicosanoid?
Eicosanoids come in two broad groups: the leukotrienes and the prostanoids, both of which are involved in signaling between cells. They are encountered frequently in the study of inflammation, and are commonly considered inflammatory mediators (ways for the cells of the immune system to signal where, when, and how inflammation should take place). An example of a prostanoid is prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), which plays a role in the sensitization of pain receptors during inflammation.
What happens during inflammation?
the signs of an inflammatory response are redness, heat, swelling, and pain.
Is cocodamol inflammatory?
No, it works as an analgesic.
A series of events that suppress infection?
inflammatory response
Why is an application of cold recommended as part of the RICE first aid measures immediately following an inflammatory response due to injury?
improves circulation in the area rmoving chemical mediators
Which inflammatory chemicals are blocked by nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen?
NSAID's mainy block PG's (prostaglandines) which are the mediators of inflammation .some block recruitment of WBC at the site of inflammation.
What is fluocinolona acetonido?
It is a steroid cream that only seems to be available in Spain

What causes the swelling and pain associated with an inflammatory response?
Sometimes, only if the area hurts, itches, burns or is red is it inflammed. If a body part is swolen but seems normal besides that it could be from something else like a lack or protiens. It could also be a sign of your body trying to fight a virus or something.
What is leukotriens?
Leukotrienes are a family of eicosanoid inflammatory mediators produced in leukocytes by the oxidation of arachidonic acid by the enzyme arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase. As their name implies, leukotrienes were first discovered in leukocytes, but have since been found in other immune cells.
What chemical mediators are released from mast cell?

How does urinary tract infection cause delirium?
The real answer is we don't know. That being said, there is a lot of speculation that the inflammatory response causes a release of inflammatory mediators such as cytokines which cause a dissociation in neurotransmitters, presumably affecting the hippocampus. Fluid and electrolyte abnormalities are frequently encountered as contributing factors in elderly delirium. Dehydration coupled with electrolye and/or glucose imbalance (and inflammatory markers that change blood flow and composition) may be at the heart of the process underlying delirium caused by UTIs. This process remains poorly understood.
How much do Mediators make?
150-450$ an hour
What physiological processes underlie frostbite injury?
tissue freezing, tissue hypoxia, and the release of inflammatory mediators. Tissue freezing causes ice crystal formation and other changes that damage and eventually kill cells. Much of this harm occurs because the ice produces pressure changes
What are the virulence factors for propionibacterium acnes?
The primary virulence factors of propionibacterium acnes are lipase (which helps to break down the yucky oils/lipids on our face), hyaluronidase (which is an enzyme that breaks down the connective tissues and increases the permeability of connective tissues), neuraminidase, proteases, inflammatory mediators, and other enzymes.
