Endocarditis is characterized by a prototypic lesion, the vegetation, which is a mass of platelets, fibrin, microcolonies of microorganisms, and scant inflammatory cells.

Endocarditis ( infection of the heart valve ) has been reported in a small number of cases, sometimes in people with no other symptoms of Whipple's disease ; this is typically noticed as breathlessness and leg swelling due to fluid accumulation as the heart is unable to pump fluid through the body.

Established in 1994 by the Duke Endocarditis Service and revised in 2000, the Duke criteria is a collection of major and minor criteria used to establish a diagnosis of endocarditis.

The term bacterial endocarditis ( BE ) commonly is used, reflecting the fact that most cases of IE are due to bacteria ; however, Infective Endocarditis ( IE ) has become the preferred term.

Endocarditis can also be classified by the side of the heart affected:

Endocarditis with Tricosporon asahii has also ben reported in a case report.

Experimental allergic encephalomyelitis ( EAE ) is an animal model of CNS inflammation and demyelination frequently used to investigate potential MS treatments.

Surgical drainage of the abscess ( e. g., lancing ) is usually indicated once the abscess has developed from a harder serous inflammation to a softer pus stage.

Arthritis ( from Greek arthro -, joint +-itis, inflammation ; plural: arthritides ) is a form of joint disorder that involves inflammation of one or more joints.

The pain from arthritis is due to inflammation that occurs around the joint, damage to the joint from disease, daily wear and tear of joint, muscle strains caused by forceful movements against stiff painful joints and fatigue.

** Immunomodulation, e. g., tetracycline, which is effective in periodontal inflammation, and dapsone, which is effective in autoimmune diseases such as oral mucous membrane pemphigoid

Brain abscess ( or cerebral abscess ) is an abscess caused by inflammation and collection of infected material, coming from local ( ear infection, dental abscess, infection of paranasal sinuses, infection of the mastoid air cells of the temporal bone, epidural abscess ) or remote ( lung, heart, kidney etc.

At the initial phase of the inflammation ( which is referred to as cerebritis ), the immature lesion does not have a capsule and it may be difficult to distinguish it from other space-occupying lesions or infarcts of the brain.

Within 4 – 5 days the inflammation and the concomitant dead brain tissue are surrounded with a capsule, which gives the lesion the famous ring-enhancing lesion appearance on CT examination with contrast ( since intravenously applied contrast material can not pass through the capsule, it is collected around the lesion and looks as a ring surrounding the relatively dark lesion ).

Someone with a positive tuberculin reaction is not given BCG, because the risk of severe local inflammation and scarring is high, not because of the common misconception that tuberculin reactors " are already immune " and therefore do not need BCG.

How it works is unclear, but is likely immunotherapeutic, as the chronic inflammation could be the result of an autoimmune problem.

The characteristic chemoattractant effect of LTB4 is induced via G-protein linked seven-transmembrane spanning leukotriene receptors which are highly expressed in inflammation and allergy.

The simplest classification is based on etiology: either infective or non-infective, depending on whether a microorganism is the source of the inflammation or not.

Chronic rheumatic heart disease is characterized by repeated inflammation with fibrinous resolution.

An example is the ability of pharmacologic doses of glucocorticoid to suppress inflammation.

Horehound is used to make hard lozenge candies that are considered by folk medicine to aid digestion, soothe sore throats, and relieve inflammation.

This forward protrusion of the eyes is due to immune-mediated inflammation in the retro-orbital ( eye socket ) fat.

Rather, IC / BPS therapy is typically multi-modal, including the use of a bladder coating, an antihistamine to help control mast cell activity and a low dose antidepressant to fight neurogenic inflammation.

The inflammation aspect is characterized by the cloning of T cells that appear to be driven by specific antigens to invade muscle fibers.

The Dalakas article says that the best evidence points towards a connection with some type of retrovirus and that a retroviral infection combined with immune recognition of the retrovirus is enough to trigger the inflammation process.

It is the gradual unfolding and deepening of this contradiction which creates the inner dialectic of the evolution of the mystery story.

A fourth view is the transformation of emotion, as in Housman's fine phrase on the arts: they `` transform and beautify our inner nature ''.

if inner lid is too big, trim to fit, allowing room for thickness of glaze.

If the inner functions of religion are performed, the individual is a composed, ordered, motivated, and emotionally secure associate ; ;

In providing for these inner individual functions, religion undertakes in behalf of individual peace of mind and well-being services for which there is no other institution.

The inner ( anode ) sphere is pierced, elongated into a cup, and terminated by the phosphor screen.

As retinal images are conceded to be an integral function of the brain it seems logical to suppose that the nerves, between the inner brain and the eyes, carry the direct drive for cooperation from the various brain centers -- rather than to theorize on the transmission of an image which is already in required location.

For example, it is evinced by the adolescent ( or adult ) whose beliefs and actions represent primarily his rebellion and reaction against the ideas and behavior patterns of others, rather than his inner conviction and choice.

While we are filling outer space with scientific successes, for many the `` inner '' space of their soul is an aching void.

Gaining outer space and losing `` inner '' space is bad business according to God's standards.

It is repeated at intervals in some rather sadly desperate word-games for insomniacs, the hospitalized, and others forced to rely on inner resources, including ( in the P's alone ) `` palindromes '', `` paraphrases '', and `` parodies ''.

One way is a sincere expression of Christian love, " motivated by a powerful feeling of security, strength, and inner salvation, of the invincible fullness of one ’ s own life and existence ".

This vibrates and sound is transmitted through a single bone, the stapes, to the inner ear.

There is a patch of specialized haircells called " papilla amphibiorum " in the inner ear capable of detecting deeper sounds.

The inner portion of the seed coat is usually completely collapsed.

Assuming ZF is consistent, Kurt Gödel showed that the negation of the axiom of choice is not a theorem of ZF by constructing an inner model ( the constructible universe ) which satisfies ZFC and thus showing that ZFC is consistent.

It is used in English to describe an intense feeling of apprehension, anxiety or inner turmoil.

For every group G there is a natural group homomorphism G → Aut ( G ) whose image is the group Inn ( G ) of inner automorphisms and whose kernel is the center of G. Thus, if G has trivial center it can be embedded into its own automorphism group.

In some categories — notably groups, rings, and Lie algebras — it is possible to separate automorphisms into two types, called " inner " and " outer " automorphisms.

The inner automorphisms form a normal subgroup of Aut ( G ), denoted by Inn ( G ); this is called Goursat's lemma.

In a complex inner product space, the expression for the cosine above may give non-real values, so it is replaced with
