Pressure ulcer is the localized injury on the skin or underlying tissue occurring due to external load. Body pressure is one of the most critical factors causing pressure ulcers. This condition can be prevented by the use of external support devices such as mattresses, specialty beds, cushions and overlays, collectively called as pressure relief devices.
According to the WHO studies, around 1.7 million people are infected with hepatitis B virus, up to 315,000 with hepatitis C virus and as many as 33,800 with HIV through an unsafe injection. The WHO has provided new guidelines for injection safety practices to protect the healthcare professional against accidental needle injury and consequent exposure to infection.
Air borne wind energy (AWE) is a technique to generate electricity from wind currents with the help of rotors or turbines supported in the air without any tower installed on the ground. Airborne wind energy is a unique concept to harvest wind energy with lower setup and operating cost as compared to conventional wind turbines.
Infrared search and track (IRST) or infrared sighting and tracking is a method of passive tracking with the help of infrared radiation. There are various types of electromagnetic radiation which include infrared radiation, radio waves, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays and microwaves. Humans are not capable of perceiving such as infrared radiation with naked eyes. However, the radiation can be made visible to the eyes with the help of sensors and appropriate devices such as infrared cameras and detectors.
Electromagnetic compatibility is a branch of electrical engineering which deals with the propagation and receiving of unintentionally generated electromagnetic energy. This electromagnetic energy can create electromagnetic interference or may even cause severe physical damage to other electronic instruments and devices. The devices which are used to protect electronic instruments from such electromagnetic energy are known as electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) filters and shields.
The smart ring is a type of wearable electronic device with the capability to connect with smartphones and other smart gadgets. The smart rings can interact with smartphones and enable users to check notifications and operate applications through simple gesture control. Smart rings have been gaining immense popularity in the recent years on account of factors such as enhanced mobility, comfort, and functionality.
Animal feed enzymes helps to increase the nutrition proportion in animal foodstuff and also lower the amount of animal waste. Increasing consumer awareness regarding the meat quality and various dairy products, along with the rising consumption of meat has led to inclusion of feed additives into animal feed. The poultry segment is likely to lead the market in forecast period.
Aerospace engineering refers to the field of design and development of various types of aerial vehicles for in-air and outer space transport. Some of the most common aerial vehicles covered under aerospace engineering include small, medium and large airplanes, unmanned aerial vehicles, helicopters and jet planes, among others which can be used for various applications such as commercial aviation and military.
A peptic ulcer is forms of painful sores that develops on the mucosal lining of the stomach, small intestine or lower esophagus. Increase in prevalence of H. Pylori infection, improved diagnostic techniques, easy availability of treatment medication, preferable use of peptic ulcer medication over surgery, increase in rate of smocking and over use of NSAIDs are driving the growth of peptic ulcer drugs market globally.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig’s disease is a neurological disease that causes death of nerve cells that control voluntary muscles. Factors such, increase in incidence of ALS, strong pipeline molecule, favorable reimbursement policies in some countries and expected launch of newer medication would drive the growth of ALS treatment market globally.
