The premium type of petroleum coke and coal tar based coke is needle coke. Coke is a byproduct of oil refining and coal gasification process and is used as a fuel to manufacture iron, steel and anodes for aluminum smelters. Higher quality ultra-high power (UHP) graphite electrodes and cathode electrodes to melt the scrap metal for recycling steel in the electric arc furnace (EAF) are manufactured from needle coke.
Malarial parasites are developing resistance to anti-malarial drugs, therefore conventional treatment for malaria has proven to be less efficacious. Malaria vaccines would curb the growth of malarial cases and help save millions. Development of malaria vaccine has been one of the greatest challenges faced by research institutes and manufacturers.
World Health Organization in its 2019 statistics has reported that out of the 17 million premature deaths 82 % of the deaths were from the lower and middle income countries, and 37 % of these were due to cardiovascular diseases. The risk factors identified to be associated to the worsening of the disease etiology related to cardiac complications are, binge drinking, smoking, obesity and type 2 diabetes. It is noteworthy to understand that there are no symptoms in the blood vessel diseases, a heart attack or stroke are considered as warning for the underlying diseases. Drug eluting stents finds importance in the cardiovascular complications as it is a minimally invasive surgical procedure, broadens the constricted blood vessels, and is useful in prolonging the life of the patient.
Patient monitoring devices studied for the scope of the report consists of various products and applications. Rising prevalence of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and obesity, increasing number of geriatric population suffering with respiratory diseases. Increasing number of surgical procedures performed and rising inclination towards healthcare monitoring devices and apps to maintain healthy lifestyle has resulted in the deep market penetration for the patient monitoring devices.
Mosquitoes can transmit several diseases such as malaria, Zika virus, yellow fever, dengue as well as West Nile virus among others. Mosquito repellent wristband provides protection against mosquitoes since it contains mosquito repellent chemicals that are widely utilized in spray or cream-based mosquito repellents. Wristbands are fast and easy to use and are easily worn by babies and children without the fear of hazardous consequences or side effects. A wide range of natural ingredients and synthetic chemicals based mosquito repellents wristbands are used for the prevention of mosquitos’ bites and avert mosquito-borne diseases.
Rising prevalence of chronic diseases such as osteoarthritis, spondylitis and osteoporosis etc. requiring effective bone alignment and support. Additionally the rising geriatric population with joint deformities and traumatic injuries will result in deep market penetration for the orthopedic orthotic devices. The limiting factors related to this market are the ineffective reimbursement policies deter the patients from availing orthotic devices for treatment and maintaining the orthotic devices such as cleaning, oiling etc. is a tedious job.
Surgical mesh is a medical device constructed by using synthetic materials or animal tissue and used to provide extra support to weak or damaged tissue. Surgical polypropylene mesh widely adopted in the market due to its stability, durability, low infection risk and high mechanical strength.
Sepsis is a potentially life-threatening complication due to presence of both infection and the systemic inflammatory response; it is caused by overwhelming immune response to infection. Sepsis is treated as a medical emergency, and severe case of sepsis may lead to septic shock, in which blood pressure reduces dramatically.
Pain therapeutics are used to relieve pain either by stopping the pain signals or by altering the brain interpretation to these signals. Pain therapeutics have the ability to reduce pain intensity but do not treat the cause of the pain.
Respiratory inhalers are used to administer an extensive range of medications such as beta-agonists, anticholinergic, corticosteroids and certain antibiotics.
