	Oedema [Section Title] - Health encyclopaedia - NHS Direct
		In generalised oedema, fluid accumulates in any of the tissues, but especially in the air spaces of the lungs and in the spaces in the abdomen surrounding the bowels and other organs (the peritoneal cavity).
		Oedema may be visible as an obvious puffiness of the face, the ankles or the small of the back.
		Oedema is treated by correcting the cause, where possible, and by the use of diuretic drugs that increase the urinary water output.

	OEDEMA - a guide for patient's
		Oedema is swelling of any organ or tissue due to accumulation of excess lymph fluid, without an increase of the number of cells in the affected tissue.
		Oedema without a modifier usually refers to peripheral or dependent oedema, the accumulation of fluid in the parts of the body that are most affected by gravity.
		Oedema of specific organs (cerebral oedema, pulmonary oedema, macular oedema) may also occur, each with different specific causes to peripheral oedema, but all based on the same principles.

	La Trobe University - Department of Podiatry - Vascular Assessment - Oedema
		Oedema (oidema, swelling) is the abnormal accumulation of excess fluid in the interstitial spaces (Mosby, 1997).
		Oedema may have a multitude of causes, and it is important for the clinician to determine this cause.
		Bilateral oedema is usually pitted and involves the entire lower leg and foot to the level of the digits.

	Uterine Ultrasound Characteristics and Steroid Correlation
		The purpose of the present study was to investigate the precise relationship of endometrial oedema to oestrous behaviour, stage of the oestrus cycle and plasma oestradiol and progesterone concentrations.
		Oestrogen is responsible for the appearance of uterine oedema (in the absence of progesterone) and so this may be why the detection of uterine oedema is important in signalling the emergence of the mare from the transitional period.
		Evaluation of endometrial oedema would seem to be a useful part of the routine pre-mating examination of mares in indicating the optimal time to mate the mare and providing an instant indication of basal levels of progesterone.

	Oedema Factsheet
		Oedema occurs when roots take up water faster than it can be used by the plant or transpired through the leaves.
		Oedema is most prevalent in the late winter especially during extended periods of cool, cloudy weather.
		Geraniums, rhododendrons, begonias, pansies, violets, and certain fleshyleaved plants such as jade and peperomia are particularly sensitive to conditions which lead to the development of oedema, although almost any broadleaved plant may be affected.

	The Benzo-pyrone Drugs
		This reduces the oedema (since the no-longer-retained water returns to the blood), improves the oxygenation of the tissues, and their cellular functioning and wound healing.
		Oedema due to accidental trauma of all kinds, e.g., burns, insect bites, crushing and cutting injuries including infected wounds (unlike the corticoids), bruises and deeper haematomas, contusions and fractures.
		Oedema due to infection where benzo-pyrones can reduce swelling while an antibiotic treats the infection (unlike the cortico-steroids, it does not interfere with the inflammatory process).
