Guest guest Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 This explains how acute inflammation can become chronic. A good reason to try to get over EN and PG as quickly as possible: http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.gutenberg.org/files/15283/1528\ 3-h/images/image15.png & imgrefurl=http://www.gutenberg.org/files/15283/15283-h/15\ 283-h.htm & h=417 & w=478 & sz=77 & hl=en & start=18 & tbnid=SX2kXfaNLEc26M: & tbnh=113 & tbnw=1\ 29 & prev=/images%3Fq%3Dhuman%2Bhealthy%2B%2Blung%2Blow%2Bmagnification%2B%26gbv%3\ D2%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26sa%3DG <<When these changes take place rapidly the inflammation is said to be acute, and chronic when they take place slowly. Chronic inflammation is more complex than is the acute, and there is more variation in the single conditions. The chronicity may be due to a number of conditions, as the persistence of a cause, or to incompleteness of repair which renders the part once affected more vulnerable, to such a degree even that the ordinary conditions to which it is subjected become injurious. A chronic inflammation may be little more than an almost continuous series of acute inflammations, with repair continuously less perfect. Chronic imflammations are a prerogative of the old as compared with the young, of the weak rather than the strong.>> There is a great deal about inflammation on this site, [Chapter IV] not about EN in particular. However, with so little medical research about EN, we are forced to read about what is known about similar disorders. Enjoy the Long Weekend!
