Inflammation which comprises a rapid, short-lived, relatively uniform response to acute injury or antigenic challenge and is characterized by accumulations of fluid, plasma proteins, and granulocytic leukocytes. An acute inflammatory response occurs within a matter of minutes or hours, and either resolves within a few days or becomes a chronic inflammatory response. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of an organismal process, any of the processes pertinent to the function of an organism above the cellular level; includes the integrated processes of tissues and organs. Process involving non-antibody proteins whose concentrations in the plasma increase in response to infection or injury of homeothermic animals. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate, or extent of a homeostatic process. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate, or extent of an acute inflammatory response. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate, or extent of fever. Any homeostatic process by which an organism produces heat, thereby raising its internal temperature. Any process that modulates the rate or extent of fever. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate, or extent of an acute inflammatory response. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the inflammatory response. A rise in body temperature above the normal, often as a response to infection. Any process that modulates the rate or extent of heat generation. Any process that activates or increases the rate or extent of heat generation.
