Wound Healing Activity of Fire Tree (Delonix regia) Leaf Extract in Albino Mice"

Throughout its range in the Pacific Northwest, this fiercely spiked shrub is considered to be the most important medicinal plant amongst the First Nations people who live there. The devil’s club, Oplopanax horridus, is highly valued by the indigenous people wherever it is found and has innumerable uses. Traditionally, it has been used medicinally both topically and orally for a wide variety of maladies as well as a general tonic. Additionally, it is a very significant plant spiritually and plays an important role in ceremony and rituals. It is also highly valued for specific material purposes. While the young shoots are edible, it is not considered to be a food plant, instead it is recognized for its many therapeutic benefits.

There are many herbal treatments available to patients, but few have been used longer than sambucas nigra, otherwise known as elder berry. Well known for its analgesic, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, diuretic, laxative immune boosting qualities, elder berry has been used for multiple health alterations (Ulbricht, Basch, Cheung, Goldberg, Hammerness, Isaac, &...Wortley, 2014). In this paper the background, pharmacology, contraindications, current research and recommendations for use regarding elder berries will be discussed. Elder berries are a versatile fruit that has multiple applications in the healthcare field, warranting an increased role in patient care.

I specifically chose this topic because I believe that for us Americans this is the next big frontier. Not only could this plant helps save some people’s lives, but it could also help alleviate the pressure on our national debt. As long as we continue to do research and try to understand the complexity of this issue, then we should be able to grow in our mind frames of how this could be beneficial to a lot of people. There will always be the other side of this issue that it could do more harm than help, but if we continue to monitor and maintain control of these herbal medicines we can begin the steps towards a safer path.

This paper will be a research critique on the article “Frequent Application of the New Gelatin-Collagen Nonwoven Accelerates Wound Healing”, by Schiefer, J.L. and Rath, R, and each section will be examined using our textbook “Understanding Evidence-Based Practice”. The article’s main focus was on determining the effect of healing when using multiple collagen nonwoven applications to chronic wounds. Twelve mini-pigs where used to test this technique and the findings indicated that this method was promising, because the wounds had a faster healing rate when multiple application of gelatin-collagen nonwoven was used as treatment. Analyzing the articles components, we can see that although it does contain preliminary

In burns, free radicals and lipid peroxidation increases and also decreases the total antioxidant activity to deal with them and a reduction in antioxidant scavenging capacity. in the burn wound, increased inflammation and decreased tissue perfusion and increased activity of free radicals that makes it difficult healing process

Harper, Young, and McNaught, (2014) explain the four distinct phases of wound healing that are identified as hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation and tissue remodeling. Hemostasis is the body’s response to prevent exsanguinations; thusly, the cascading response to injury causes constriction of blood vessels but if continued, leads to tissue hypoxia and acidosis. The next stage of healing is inflammation. This stage is a result of cells that inhibit and prevent infection and once the resulting threat of infection is gone, inflammation will subside. Prolonged inflammation can lead to chronic wound formation. The next stage of healing is proliferation which consists of angiogenesis, formation of granulation tissue, collagen deposition, epitheliazation and wound retraction. It is during this stage the extracellular matrix is laid down forming

Till day 14 (acute) and day 18 (diabetes), signs of skin injury and wound fluidity was still noticed in Vaseline® treated and untreated control groups of mice that indicated incomplete wound repair. Rapid but non-significant healing was observed in all NCs (ointment) treated mice as compared to positive controls and vehicle controls (AgNPs and SC-CNCs) in diabetic wound healing. The enhanced rate of wound closure in NCs treated groups relative to vehicle controls suggested their synergistic effect in NCs. The maximum rate of healing was observed in case of NC-1 ointments at day 14 (acute) and day 18 (diabetes) followed by NC-2 and then NC-3. The superior healing effect of NC-1 in comparison to NC-2 and NC-3 could be due to the smaller size and surface area of AgNPs in the former (Krausz et al., 2015). In case of acute wound healing, NCs ointment showed greater healing potential in comparison to

Herbal medicines are great alternative for commercially manufactured medicines available in the market. The major reason why herbal medicine differ from modern medicine is because they are produced with 100% natural content. Therefore the plant extract has all the medicinal values that are as effective as modern medicine. Commercially prepared drugs show results quickly but have numerous side effects. However herbal medicines don’t show any side

This chapter contains literature and studies regarding the effectiveness of a non-wood plant as an alternative main material for paper production. While the first use of paper started as early as trace back to the beginning of the first millennium, paper still plays a significant role in modern everyday lives (American Forest and Paper Association, 2013). By far, paper industry is the largest consumer of natural fibers (El Omari, Zyane, Belfkira, Taourirte, & Brouillette, 2016). However, shortage of the original raw material, which is woods, has been increasing drastically. This huge demand created a number of strategies on how to address the problem (Madakadze, Masamvu, Radiotis, & Smith, 2010). Aside from changing the consumption
