    Study Notes

    Types of Inflammation

    • Acute inflammation: sudden onset, characterized by prominent vascular phenomena, and typically resolves within a short duration
    • Chronic inflammation: develops gradually, persists for weeks, months, or even years, involves less prominent vascular changes, and is associated with tissue destruction and repair processes happening simultaneously
    • Granulomatous inflammation: characterized by the formation of granulomas, which are aggregates of activated macrophages, often caused by infections such as tuberculosis and schistosomiasis

    Chronic Toxemia

    • Refers to the systemic effects of chronic inflammation
    • May include: mild fever, leucocytosis with relative lymphocytosis, elevated ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate), cachexia, and amyloidosis

    Wound Healing

    • Occurs through different patterns:
      • First intention (primary union): clean, uninfected wounds with well-apposed edges, leading to minimal scar formation
      • Second intention (secondary union): unclean wounds with unopposed edges, resulting in the formation of larger scars filled with granulation tissue

    Granulation Tissue

    • Grossly: soft, pink, granular tissue filling the wound space
    • Microscopically: proliferating fibroblasts, capillaries, and inflammatory cells

    Factors Influencing Wound Healing

    • Systemic factors:
      • Circulatory status
      • Metabolic disorders
      • Nutrition
      • Age
      • Hormones
    • Local factors:
      • Infection
      • Mechanical factors
      • Presence of foreign bodies
      • Size
      • Location
      • Type of wound
      • Radiation exposure
