BioEngeenered Blood Vessels with the Capacity to Mimic Real Blood Vessels : Imlications for BBB

Researchers have developed engineered blood vessels that closely mimic the structure and function of human  blood vessels(NIH,2019) . These engendered vessels demonstrate promise in being safer and more effective in Grafts made from synthetic materials . which are a step in the right direction for patients with (E.S.R.D) End Stage Renal Failure .  What implications does this finding have though for the BBB or Blood Brain Barrier ? .  Based on the results of recent testing these Life Like vessels are now in the direction for clinical use . When we examine how these engineered vessels  can be beneficial in diagnostics and in E.S.R.D interventions . we can begin by estimating stating that 25 % of all human blood are filtered through the Renal System. we  can also assimilate that a common E.S.R.D patient have dietary limitations and liquid consumption that is a tough prescription with the average patient allowed to consume  only 32 oz of liquid per day on a hot summer day this prescription can be a challenge for any E.S.R.D patient particularly when these 32 oz include liquid used for cooking    The vessels are harvested from smooth muscle abundant in the uterus and other organs which also   may contribute to an increase in cost effectiveness . But what promise is there for BBB interventions to avert Hemiplegia in C.V.A patients ?  Lets examine the procedure involved in harvesting tissue .  Tissue is harvested in Burn victims . Skin Grafts in Dermatological such as Mohs surgical procedures to restore S.C.C and B.C.C excisions . these procedures take about one and a half to two months to fuse through colonization and skin cell fusion . Proteins and collagen play a vital role as does granulation . This how ever pertains to the psychopathology of  the dermis which has elasticity and a capacity to expand . Smooth muscle from internal organs have different proteins and a capacity for rejection because they are considered connective tissue  . so can these vessels be implanted in the BBB .quite possibly through microaggression procedures. the only foreseeable issue would be in neurological .implications because neuron in smooth tissue and striated tissue are different and distinct as are there function .

Endangered Plants and Species : Challenges for the Future

The gain in popularity of herbal medicine contributes to global economy ( L Cruz.2019) . Over exploitation of these herbal and medicinal plants create an unsustainable market .forestry and agricultural unsuitability due to accelerated pace of environmental destruction.  This situation threatens conservation and have led to the destruction of over 10.000 plant species from among the 50.000 to 70.000 plants that are known for there medicinal qualities and practices as well as there properties (Luengo & Ariso 2015) . In fact the majority of the medicinal plants at risk are grown in poor countries  and are disappearing among these countries are The Amazonian region and Rain forest Regions . 

Examples of  Endangered Plant Species
1- Ginsing
2-Equisitum
3-Baldo Peumus Baldus
4-Quima Cinchoa
5- White Nistle

World Conservation and World Wide Fund for Nature Guild lines
The guild lines provide good practice in aromatic plant species .harvesting methods and  farming .The allow for sustainability and species conservation as well as environmental  and public health. 

Example of the Benefits of Plant Species

Corn as a  Major Diuretic
The body is constantly adjusting fluid levels  through a complex system which includes hormone regulation .liquid and electrolyte consumption and even respiration.  These physiological functions allow for the elimination of excess fluid .but when for some reason these mechanisms do not function as well . Corn has been found to behave as a diuretic when consumed which can also serve to adjust liquid and electrolyte level in Dialysis patients . if not contraindicated with potassium levels .

Antioxidants and there Beneficial Properties

A stimulating antioxidant drink can be found in the consumption of Green Tea . Green Tea is one of the oldest beverages in the world . According to Chinese legend green tea was accidentally discovered by an emperer four thousand years ago . Since green tea is currently consumed by more than two thirds of the worlds population (Luengo & Aniso 2015) When should you use green tea ? you should use green tea when feeling tired and or  run down . since green tea stimulates the metabolism and increases wakefulness . These properties make it effective for physical and mental exhaustion . breathing and has a bronchodilator effect that is good for treating bronchitis and asthma. It also increases gastric juices .improves digestion and is an effective diuretic to prevent fluid retention .

What related products also contain green tea extract ? green tea can also be found in essential oils  and other beauty products . With regard to essential oils it is important to note that essential oils possess excellent properties in pain relief . joint relief .fatigue . and as a great stress reliever .

Green tea and essential oils are a great way to relieve joint pain steaming from pregnancy .arthritis .to treat insect stings skin conditions . such as dry cracked skin .dermatitis .psoriasis and to treat many other skin conditions .
