MindMap Gallery fever
Fever is not only an increase in body temperature, but also a complex defense mechanism in the body! When the pyrogenic effect causes the body temperature to shift upwards and exceeds 05°C, fever will follow. This process involves a variety of cells and substances, such as endogenous pyrogen (EP) and fever activators, which jointly regulate changes in body temperature. Fever is divided into the period of body temperature rise, the period of high temperature and the period of body temperature decline. Each stage is accompanied by significant changes in substance metabolism, physiological functions and defense functions. Although fever may cause discomfort such as digestive disorders, accelerated heart rate, etc., it can also enhance the ability to fight infection and even inhibit tumor cells. For the treatment of fever, comprehensive measures such as physical cooling, drug fever reduction or treatment of primary diseases must be taken according to the specific circumstances. Only by understanding the mechanism and regulation of fever can we better deal with this common physiological phenomenon.
Edited at 2025-03-10 15:36:59Rumi: 10 dimensions of spiritual awakening. When you stop looking for yourself, you will find the entire universe because what you are looking for is also looking for you. Anything you do persevere every day can open a door to the depths of your spirit. In silence, I slipped into the secret realm, and I enjoyed everything to observe the magic around me, and didn't make any noise. Why do you like to crawl when you are born with wings? The soul has its own ears and can hear things that the mind cannot understand. Seek inward for the answer to everything, everything in the universe is in you. Lovers do not end up meeting somewhere, and there is no parting in this world. A wound is where light enters your heart.
Chronic heart failure is not just a problem of the speed of heart rate! It is caused by the decrease in myocardial contraction and diastolic function, which leads to insufficient cardiac output, which in turn causes congestion in the pulmonary circulation and congestion in the systemic circulation. From causes, inducement to compensation mechanisms, the pathophysiological processes of heart failure are complex and diverse. By controlling edema, reducing the heart's front and afterload, improving cardiac comfort function, and preventing and treating basic causes, we can effectively respond to this challenge. Only by understanding the mechanisms and clinical manifestations of heart failure and mastering prevention and treatment strategies can we better protect heart health.
Ischemia-reperfusion injury is a phenomenon that cellular function and metabolic disorders and structural damage will worsen after organs or tissues restore blood supply. Its main mechanisms include increased free radical generation, calcium overload, and the role of microvascular and leukocytes. The heart and brain are common damaged organs, manifested as changes in myocardial metabolism and ultrastructural changes, decreased cardiac function, etc. Prevention and control measures include removing free radicals, reducing calcium overload, improving metabolism and controlling reperfusion conditions, such as low sodium, low temperature, low pressure, etc. Understanding these mechanisms can help develop effective treatment options and alleviate ischemic injury.

Section 1. Introduction
Body temperature rise
Physiological
Premenstrual period
Strong exercise
Stress status
Pathological
fever
Regulation
Not an independent disease, but a clinical manifestation of multiple diseases
overheat
Passiveness
e.g.
Heat dissipation barrier
e.g.Ichthyosis affects heat dissipation
Increased heat production
e.g. Hyperthyroidism
fever
Concept: Due to the effect of pyrogen, the body temperature adjustment point moves upward, causing the body temperature regulation to rise by more than 0.5℃, it is called "heat".
Heat-induced
Substances that can cause fever in humans or animals, especially foreign substances
Setting point
The theory of setting point believes that body temperature regulation is similar to the regulation of a thermostat. There is a setting point in the temperature regulation center (located in the hypothalamus). The temperature regulation mechanism surrounds this setting point to regulate body temperature.
Section 2. Causes and pathogenesis
Fever activated substance
concept
Can act on some cells in the body, causing these cells to produce endogenous pyrogens
Endogenous pyrogen acts on the temperature regulation center
Mainly include exogenous pyrogen and certain in vivo products
That is, the starting substance that causes fever
Main substances
Exotherothermal
Bacteria and their toxins
Especially G
Virus
