What causes edema that occurs during the inflammatory process?
Increased capillary permeability
What is the meaning of vasopressin?
vasopressin is an antidiuretic hormone responsible for increased permeability of the distal tubules of the kidney, increasing water reabsorption and reducing urine volume.
What causes increased permeability of the endothelial-capsular membrane?
Histamines
Why does the permeability of blood vessels increase during acute inflammation?
vasodilation causes increased pressure within the blood vessel which causes gaps within endothelium to form-this allows for the increased permeability.
What is diapedisis?
Increased capillary permeability allows leukocytes to pass from the vessels into tissues
Tampon and pelvic inflammatory disease?
Tampons are not associated with pelvic inflammatory disease, and there is no increased risk from using tampons if you have pelvic inflammatory disease.
What clinical situations would you expect edema?
Burns( which result in increased capillary permeability to plasma proteins)
In cardiac muscle the fast depolarization phase of action potential is the result of?
increased membrane permeability to sodium ions
What is the difference between local and systemic manifestations?
Local manifestations of inflammation are result of the vascular changes associated with the inflammatory process, including vasodilation and increased capillary permeability. the symptoms include redness, heat, swelling, and pain. While, the principal systemic effects of inflammation are fever and increases in levels of circulating leukocytes (leukocytosis) and plasma proteins (acute-phase reactants).
Which factor was partly responsible for increased timber demands during the Tokugawa shogunate?
increased urbanization
What happens if you take naproxin and ibuprofen together?
Increased risk of GI bleeding. Anti-inflammatory effects are not additive. SuperPharmacist
What were the pollution effects of the industrial revolution?
The use of chemicals and fuel in factories resulted in increased air and water pollution and an increased use of fuel.
