Effects of the aroma of lemone verbena ( Paláu) essential oil on anxiety and the hemodynamic profile before cesarean section: A randomized clinical trial.

Background: Aromatherapy is a noninvasive method used for alleviating anxiety. Lemon verbena ( Paláu, LV) has been frequently used in traditional medicine as an anxiolytic agent due to its pharmacological ingredients.

Objective: This randomized controlled trial aimed to assess the effects of inhaling essential oil of LV on the level of anxiety and subsequent hemodynamic changes before cesarean section.

Nanomaterials supported by polymers for tissue engineering applications: A review.

In the biomedical sciences, particularly in wound healing, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine, the development of natural-based biomaterials as a carrier has revealed a wide range of advantages. Tissue engineering is one of the therapeutic approaches used to replace damaged tissue. Polymers have received a lot of attention for their beneficial interactions with cells, but they have some drawbacks, such as poor mechanical properties.
