dissolution. These diversions can lead to two different types of pathological processes when the imbalance is not corrected. The inflammation phase also has two types of diversion. An example of the consolidating type is any chronic inflammatory process; an example of the dissolving type is an infection, such as in an infected wound or in pneumonia. Inflammation Dissolution Consolidation Fig. 2.4. The diversion in the inflammatory phase Two types of cells are especially active in the inflammation phase: The macrophages and the neutrophils. The leading impulse in the inflammatory phase is to restore the impaired connection with the rest of the organism with the aid of forces that can be described as interactive in nature and that function alongside the integrative forces that move the healing process along to completion (Bie et al 2008, Ch. 3). The four characteristic signs of inflammation are rubor, calor, dolor, and tumor. In chronic inflammatory disease, we see a preponderance of swelling and reddening of tissues together with pain sensations. In infectious processes, warmth in the form of fever is additionally present and the dominant symptom. 2.4.3. The Pathological Diversion of Asthma In chronic asthma and its exacerbations, the pathological findings show characteristics of persistence of inflammatory processes: • The thickening and remodeling of the airways and the characteristic exudate are constant phenomena that show the consolidation in asthma hindering normal breathing movements and averting the completion of the healing process • The “slowing down” of the inflammation phase leads to chronicity. There is delayed
esolution of the inflammation. There is a lack of dissolving impulse to balance the consolidation. There is, for instance, no fever which could help break up the chronic inflammation (see fig.2.5.) • From immunology, we know that the organism is not able to stop the inflammatory reaction in asthma (Companion Immunology, Bie 2006). There is an overreaction to stimuli in the lower respiratory tract: hyperreactivity.

Dynamic diagram of the diversion of the healing process in asthma Conclusion The pathophysiology of asthma attacks shows persistence of the inflammatory phase of the general healing process leading to a chronic inflammatory disease with: 1.
