  Particulate respirators are medical devices, which helps to protect one from harmful particles present in the air or dust or harmful fumes.  Such harmful dust usually spread through severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). SARS is a respiratory syndrome commonly spread among symptomatic individuals, by person-to-person contact, or when the person sneezes or coughs, thereby infecting the nearby surfaces or through airborne transmission. Being a communicable disease, healthcare professionals and medical transport workers are at high risk to such disease as they frequently come in contact with patients suffering from SARS. Hence, Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued interim infection control recommendations for those high risky healthcare centers and facilities. Particulate respirators have proved to be excellent personal protector equipment in order to reduce the risk of inhaling harmful airborne particles. Particulate respirators which has the capability of filt

  Laboratory Information System (LIS) is a healthcare IT tool that captures, records, and manages patient’s data that has been gathered and captured during the medical processes and tests. The stored information is saved in LIS database for future reference. LIS offers features such as patient check in, patient demographics, order entry, specimen processing, and result entry. The global laboratory information systems market is estimated to account for US$ 3,266.2 Mn in terms of value by the end of 2027. Global Laboratory Information Systems Market: Drivers Increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is expected to propel growth of the global laboratory information systems market over the forecast period. For instance, according to the World Health Organization, around 18.1 million new cases and 9.6 million deaths were registered due to cancer worldwide in 2018. Moreover, increasing demand for laboratory automation and development of integrated LIS is also expected to boost growth of the

Big data in healthcare market revenue is expected to grow at lucrative rate over the forecast period primarily due to increased digitalization in industrial process. Digitization is transforming industrial processes, functions, products, and services. Advent of e-commerce has resulted in a sudden spurt in data being generated by various companies. Also, with decades of research and development activities across the healthcare industry, there is a large amount of data, referred to as 'big data', piled up with host organizations. It is therefore essential to ensure optimum utilization of this data for reducing costs, providing targeted products and services, and avoiding duplication of work. Big data solution helps simplifying and analyze complex and diverse data, a task that cannot be achieved using conventional software and hardware. Moreover, such kind of data cannot be managed with trivial data management tools and methods. Various tools such as Pentaho, Hadoop, Cloudera, and

  Transfusion of red blood cells (RBCs) is a standard and indispensable therapy for anemic conditions. Blood transfusion process has progressed through various developments, including development of acid-citrate-dextrose blood preservation solution, and cloning of ABO gene. However, blood transfusion come with a high risk of infections. Recombinant erythropoietin stimulating agent therapy has been the prominent therapy in cases such as chronic kidney disease, and chronic anemic conditions. Yet in thrombotic and neoplastic complications, blood transfusion is the only option. Hence, RBC production from hematopoietic stem cells has been the focus of regenerative therapy, with major players investing billions of dollars in R&D related to this technique. However, the final product is yet to receive U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) approval. Artificial Blood Market Development There has been significant progress made in the global artificial blood market with respect to finding

Cosmetic industry has been a success story over the last few years compared to other consumer products. In cosmetic industry, skin replacement market is gaining remarkable share worldwide. The trend is attributed primarily to burn injuries and technological adoption to treat various skin-related issues. Burnt skin induces the growth of microbes and bacteria that ultimately results in rapid loss of body fluids. Thus, to protect the skin traditionally skin grafts from the donors or cadavers were used. However, uptake of these substitutes was impeded due to probability of graft rejection and unavailability of large skin patch. Hence, to resolve the problem synthetic skin substitutes came into picture to treat deep skin wounds which promotes regeneration of artificial skin. These technological advancements have led to enhanced survival of burned patients and in the past years several skin replacement products have been used for the treatment of chronic wounds. Skin replacement market is li
