The projected increase in CO2 is very startling and disturbing. Changes in the Earth's average surface temperature are also shown (the lower curve, with units on the left). Note that it parallels the CO2 level curve very well.
Edema or oedema is an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the interstitium, located beneath the skin and in the cavities of the body, which can cause severe pain. Clinically, edema manifests as swelling. The amount of interstitial fluid is determined by the balance of fluid homeostasis; and the increased secretion of fluid into the interstitium, or the impaired removal of the fluid, can cause the condition. The word is from Greek Î¿á¼´Î´Î·Î¼Î± oÃ­dÄma meaning swelling.
Persistent swelling can result in delayed wound healing due to the elements present in chronic wound fluid which inhibit growth factors. Per-sistent edema can delay wash-out of chemical mediators which stimulate pain receptors and may cause pressure over neuro-receptors (nocioceptors), also contributing to pain.Joint stiffness, loss of tissue and joint motion due to lymphostatic tendinosis or ligamentosis can occur.cute edema can occur as a result of trauma to tissue from injury, infection, or surgical procedure. Initially after tissue trauma high capillary permeability or capillary rupture may lead to overload of a healthy lymphatic system due to leakage of fluid and protein into the interstitium (tissue spaces).
