Modelo Conceptual
Descripción
Modelo E17 - Inflamación e inmunidad
El modelo conceptual busca comprender los mecanismos que dan origen a un comportamiento, y describirlos de la forma más simple posible. Para eso, el comportamiento se segmenta en temas (grupos): cada uno identifica los objetos o variables que participan —tanto en su funcionamiento normal como en sus posibles anomalías o desviaciones— y describe, mediante verbos, la forma en que esos objetos interactúan entre sí. El resultado es lo que llamamos una red semántica: la estructura con la que representamos y comunicamos el modelo conceptual, antes de introducir ecuación alguna.

Estructura de los Grupos
Descripción
El primer paso consiste en analizar la descripción general del modelo e identificar los distintos aspectos que intervienen en el fenómeno y que deben ser representados. Cada uno de estos aspectos se organiza como un grupo, entendido como una unidad conceptual coherente que describe una parte específica del funcionamiento del modelo.
Cada grupo reúne los objetos o conceptos relevantes para ese aspecto y las relaciones o verbos que describen cómo interactúan, se modifican o dependen unos de otros. De esta manera, cada grupo constituye una parte de la red semántica del modelo, mientras que el conjunto de los grupos permite representar de forma estructurada su funcionamiento global.
La división en grupos facilita además separar mecanismos, condiciones, procesos y resultados que cumplen funciones diferentes dentro del modelo, manteniendo al mismo tiempo las relaciones que existen entre ellos. Los grupos no son, por tanto, componentes aislados: pueden compartir conceptos y establecer relaciones entre sí, formando conjuntamente una única representación semántica del fenómeno.
La imagen anterior ofrece una visión general de los distintos aspectos en que se ha estructurado el modelo. A continuación se presentan los grupos identificados, indicando para cada uno su título y una breve descripción del aspecto del modelo que representa.
Grupo 1: Grupo 1: Population transmission and herd immunity
How does pathogen transmission grow or extinguish in a population, and how does vaccination move it below its sustaining threshold?
Grupo 2: Grupo 2: Adaptive humoral immune response
How does pathogen recognition generate a delayed antibody response, and how does immune memory accelerate it on re-exposure?
Grupo 3: Grupo 3: Inflammatory cytokine amplification and regulation
How does inflammatory signaling amplify itself, and what prevents positive feedback from becoming uncontrolled?
Grupo 4: Grupo 4: Sepsis coupled dynamics and outcomes
How do pathogen burden, inflammatory intensity, and accumulated tissue damage co-evolve toward resolution, chronic inflammation, or death?
Grupo 5: Grupo 5: Antibiotic exposure–effect relationships
How does the time course of antibiotic concentration determine pathogen killing for different antibiotic response types?
Grupo 6: Grupo 6: Integrated prevention, monitoring, and treatment
How are population control, inflammatory surveillance, and antibiotic dosing combined to steer infection toward resolution?
