Inflammation and Acute Exacerbations of Chronic Bronchitis Tracheostomy vs Open TracheostomyHolcomb, Barry WLoyd, James E
This infection generates an initial strong inflammatory response and eventually, a long-term chronic inflammation with intestinal cell changes may develop. Another major cause of acute and chronic gastritis is the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). However, there are many other ...
Chronic inflammation refers to a prolonged inflammatory response that involves a progressive change in the type of cells present at the site of inflammation. It is characterized by the simultaneous destruction and repair of the tissue from the inflammatory process. It can follow an acute form of in...
Treatment of acute pancreatitis is done according to the underlying cause. Most acute cases of pancreatitis are treated in the hospital or the goal is to relieve symptoms in support body functions so that the pancreas can recover from the inflammation (if the inflammation is caused by infection,a...
(Fig.2). However, there was no difference in IL-6 concentrations between acute and chronic treatments. Similar elevations of IL-6 were also observed in the treatment groups of a bacterially induced murine model of chronic intestinal inflammation29. For concentrations of IL-8, there was a ...
Viruses are obligate intracellular pathogens that cause infection in susceptible host cells. Virus infections could be lytic, chronic, latent or immortalizing. Viruses causing latent infection are associated with high morbidity and mortality worldwide. T
Strategies for reducing oxidative stress or correcting the balance between Yin and Yang response profiles of acute inflammation may prove to be important targets for delaying or preventing the onset of disabling illnesses and reducing the cost of sick-care....
In population-based studies, C-reactive protein (CRP)—an acute phase reactant—is commonly used as a proxy for chronic low-grade inflammation1,2. Low-grade inflammation plays a key role in the development of a wide range of disease such as type 2 diabetes (T2D)3,4, coronary heart and...

Chronic stress has been linked to many diseases resulted from dysfunction of both the nervous system and peripheral organ systems. Yet, the effects of chronic stress on the pancreas have received relatively little attention. This work aims to investigate the influence of chronic stress exposure on ...
