The complex mechanisms underlying inflammation control and its implication in various pathologies have been delineated in this overview. The full comprehension of these mechanisms is necessary to indicate a path for experimenting new treatments for the control of inflammation. The challenge being that of controlling chronic inflammatory processes, at the basis of diseases such as atherosclerosis, neurodegenerative and autoimmune diseases.

Analytic research studies fall into several designs such as cohort studies, case-control studies, proportional mortality ratio (PMR) studies and cross sectional studies. The choice of a particular study design is determined by the...
