Leukotrienes increases (not decrease) vascular permeability during acute inflammation.

All the other statements are correct

A vesicle is a visible collection of fluid measuring less than 0.5 cm in diameter.

A furuncle, or boil, is a pyogenic infection of the hair follicle commonly caused by infection with Staphylococcus aureus.

A carbuncle is a collection of individual boils clustered together.

A bulla is a visible collection of clear fluid measuring greater than 0.5 cm in diameter.

A pustule is a small visible skin elevation containing an accumulation of pus.

Inflammation can be divided intoacute inflammation, which occurs over seconds, minutes, hours, and days, andchronic inflammation, which occurs over longer periods.
Acute inflammationcommences within seconds or minutes following the injury of tissues. There are numerous potential stimuli for an acute inflammatory response including infections (bacterial, viral, fungal, parasitic), tissue necrosis, foreign bodies, and Immune reactions (hypersensitivity reactions). The chief cell type of acute inflammation is the neutrophil.
There are three main processesthat occur in the acute inflammatory response:
Increased blood flow
Increased capillary permeability
Neutrophil migration
1. Increased blood flow:
Vasoactive mediators are released, such as nitric oxide, histamine, bradykinins, and prostaglandin E2. These mediators cause vasodilatation and increased blood flow to the area (causing redness and heat).
2. Increased capillary permeability:
The vasoactive mediators also cause increased capillary permeability by causing endothelial cell contraction that widens the intercellular gaps of venules. This allows an outpouring of protein-rich fluid (exudate) into the extracellular tissues that results in a reduction of intravascular osmotic pressure and an increase in extravascular/interstitial pressure. The increased interstitial osmotic pressure leads to oedema.
3. Neutrophil migration:
Neutrophils leave the vasculature through the following sequence of events:
Margination and rolling: neutrophils flow nearer the vessel wall, rather than in the axial stream, which is referred to as margination. Following margination the neutrophils begin rolling along the surface of the vascular endothelium.
Activation and adhesion: then as a result of interaction with endothelial cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) that is mediated by selectins, the neutrophils are activated and adhere to the endothelium.
Transmigration: once bound to the endothelium, neutrophils squeeze through gaps between adjacent endothelial cells into the interstitial fluid, in a process calleddiapedesis.

Anaphylaxis is an example of a type I hypersensitivity reaction.

It is IgE mediated.

It requires a prior exposure to the antigen. The initial exposure sensitizes the body to the antigen and a second exposure to that antigen leads to an anaphylactic reaction.

Massive calcium influx into the cells leads to mast cell degranulation.

The Immunoglobulin antigen complex binds to Fc receptors on the surface of mast cells. The result is mast cell degranulation and release of histamine, proteoglycans and serum proteases from cytoplasmic granules.

Peripheral nerves are nerves that lie outside the brain and spinal cord. Peripheral nerves readily regenerate, while central nervous system axonal injury does not spontaneously regenerate.
If there is damage to the axons of peripheral nerves, the nerves will regenerate at a slow rate of 1 mm per day. The slow regeneration process may lead to muscle atrophy before regeneration is complete.

Each peripheral nerve has a single cell body that supplies nutrients to the growing nerve fibre. The cell body does not undergo mitosis; only the axon is regenerated.

Schwann cells of the peripheral nervous system provide support for this process, while the analogous oligodendrocytes of the central nervous system do not. Schwann cells themselves do not cause regeneration. Schwann cells provide myelin for myelinated fibres and surround non-myelinated fibres with their cytoplasm.

If an axon is completely severed, as in the case of amputation, the axonal fibres regenerating from the cell body may never find their original route back to the muscle. Instead, they may form a traumatic neuroma, a painful collection of nerve fibres and myelin.

Anaphylactic reactions are Type 1 hypersensitivity reactions IgE-mediated and can be potentially life-threatening if not treated promptly. There are four well-recognized patterns of anaphylaxis:
1) Uniphasic
2) Biphasic
3) Protracted
4) Refractory

Biphasic reactions occur in 20% of the population, although their mechanism is poorly understood. The symptoms of anaphylaxis recur within 4-6 hours, although they may also recur up to 72 hours later. All patients discharged from the hospital after an anaphylactic shock must:
1) Be warned to return to the hospital immediately if symptoms recur
2) Have a treatment plan in place
3) Have a follow-up appointment
4) Be considered for an adrenaline auto-injector
5) Referred to an allergy clinic

The stages of wound healing are: haemostasis, inflammatory, proliferative and remodelling (maturation) phases in that order. The first stage in the healing process of a laceration is haemostasis. Haemostasis is the process of the wound being closed by clotting.

The inflammatory phase occurs just after and up to 48 hours after injury– Blood vessels dilate to allow white blood cells, antibodies, growth factors, enzymes and nutrients to reach the wounded area leading to the characteristic signs of inflammation seen.

Epithelialisation and angiogenesis are not phases of wound healing but occur during the proliferative phase. This ia after haemolysis and inflammation phases have occurred.

The maturation phase is the final phase and occurs when the wound has closed. It involves remodelling of collagen from type III to type I. Apoptosis remove unwanted cells, cellular activity reduces and the number of blood vessels in the wounded area regresses and decreases. This can continues for up to 1 year after injury.

Erythema is redness of the skin or mucous membranes caused by hyperaemia of superficial capillaries caused by skin injury, infection or inflammation. Erythema blanches when pressure is applied whereas ecchymosis, purpura and petechiae do not.

Ecchymosis are discolouration of the skin or mucous membranes caused by extravasation of blood. They are usually red or purple in colour and measure greater than 1 cm in diameter and do not blanch on applying pressure.

A macule is a flat, well circumscribed area of discoloured skin less than 1 cm in diameter with no changes in the thickness or texture of the skin.

Petechiae are discolouration of the skin measuring less than 3 mm in diameter

Purpura are discolouration of the skin measuring between 0.3 cm and 1 cm in diameter.

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) presents with abdominal or loin discomfort due to the increasing size of the kidneys, acute loin pain with or without haematuria, hypertension, and male infertility. It is the most common cause of serious renal disease and the most common inherited cause of renal failure in adults.

Alport syndrome has hearing loss and eye abnormalities in addition to symptoms of kidney disease.

Renal cell carcinoma presents with additional features of unexplained weight loss, loss of appetite, fever of unknown origin and anaemia.
