Abstract

The term "inflammation" initially referred to a variety of well-known symptoms and signs, including erythema (redness), oedema, warmth, pain, and function loss (immobility and stiffness). Today, inflammation is understood to be a complicated, changing response to tissue damage brought on by noxious substances, certain environmental factors, trauma, infection or overuse. Some of these responses may be deleterious, as in many chronic disease states, while some could help with infection control and healing of wounds. Inflammation is a "second-line" defence against pathogenic microorganisms. The responses that inflammation causes are the basic processes of pathology. The suffix "-itis" denotes illnesses characterized by pathological inflammation. Cell-mediated and humoral immune system reactions largely produce inflammation. This study examines the association between inflammation and two major worldwide causes of death and morbidity: cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer.
