Plasma fractionation is a process of separating various components of plasma. It is used in in prevention and treatment of life threatening diseases caused by trauma, immunologic disorders, and infections. Plasma fractionation process is used in treating protein deficiency in healthcare applications. It is also used in production of packaging material for industrial applications. The removal or inactivation of viruses and prions is a prime function of plasma fractionation.

DNA sequencing is a process used to determine the order of nucleotides within DNA molecules. Prenatal DNA sequencing is the method of sequencing the DNA isolated from pregnant women's blood to reveal the full genetic code of a fetus. Prenatal DNA sequencing is used to sequence the whole genome of unborn baby that effectively detects the diseases or disorder such as Down syndrome, cystic fibrosis, thalassemia and cancer. The wide acceptance and adoption of prenatal DNA sequencing technology would have huge impact on public health care sector .

Oxidative stress assay is used to determine level of oxidative stress markers and reagents in cells. Applications of oxidative stress assay are research laboratories and bioproduction. Assays detect generalized oxidative stress, reactive oxygen species (ROS), lipid peroxidation, fluorescent proteinbased redox sensors, and glutathione levels. The detection of glutathione, measurement of ratio of reduced glutathione to oxidized glutathione, and detection of changes in ROS to indicate cell health is also carried out using assays of oxidative stress. Superoxide dismutase, ascorbic acid, catalase, and glutathione are some of the antioxidants used to eliminate detrimental effects of oxidative stress.

Yersinia is a rod-shaped, gram positive bacterium in the Enterobacteriaceae family that causes enterocolitis, terminal iletis, mesenteric lymphadenitis, acute diarrhea and sepsis. The pathogen species of Yersinia include Yersinia pestis, Yersinia enterocolitica and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis. These species of Yersinia cause the Bubonic plague and gastroenteritis respectively. The symptoms of the diseases caused by these bacteria include gastroenteritis, vomiting, abdominal pain, low grade fever and diarrhea. The infection usually occurs in children. This infection affects men more often than women.

Non-invasive diagnostic is a process of identifying the disease conditions with minimal incision in body during diagnosis. The global market for diagnostic/in-vitro diagnostics valued at $49.2 billion in 2012, which shows potential for market growth, especially in chronic diseases. Non-invasive cancer diagnostics is gaining importance over conventional diagnosis due to increase in incidences of chronic cancer such as breast cancer, and lung cancer. According to American Cancer Society, there were more than 1,660,290 new cases diagnosed in 2013.

Macular edema is a condition in which the retinal layers around the fovea is accumulated by the fluid that leads to the vision impairment and also might lead to the vision loss. Macular edema can be of two types, namely cystoid macular edema and diabetic macular edema. In addition to this, the macular degeneration is a condition in which the loss of vision occurs due to the retinal damage and it majorly affects adults (>50 years). Macular degeneration is a painless disease condition that leads to the loss of central vision. Macular degeneration is of two types, namely wet macular degeneration and dry macular degeneration.

Umbilical cord blood bank is storage facility that collects cord blood after the childbirth from placenta. Cord blood is rich source of stem cell used in treatment of different chronic diseases. Private and public cord blood banks are the two major types of banks that are prevalent in the cord blood bank market.

Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) services, also known as high-throughput sequencing, is term used to describe sequencing technologies, such as Illumina sequencing, Roche 454 sequencing, and SOLiD sequencing. These technologies enable to sequence DNA and RNA quickly and cheaply as compared to traditional technologies, such as Sanger sequencing. The studies conducted to determining the origin of life for all species and their evolution have become more challenging. In order to understand the organisms, the use of various next generation sequencing technologies is inevitable. Technological advancements present new pathways for the NGS services industry.

Cervical cancer refers to a malignancy of cervical cells. Vaginal bleeding is the most common symptom of this kind of cancer; however, in certain cases, no symptoms are seen until the cancer reaches an advanced stage. More than 90% of cervical malignancies occur due to HPV infection (Human papillomavirus) and they are diagnosed through smear screening.

Lung cancer is a malignant lung carcinoma that is characterized by abnormal cell growth in lung tissue. As the tumor grows in size, it decreases the lungs' ability to provide oxygen to bloodstream. The primary lung carcinomas originate from epithelial cells and classified as non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). Major symptoms of lung cancer include coughing, body mucus, wheezing, shortness of breath, chest pain and weight loss. Lung cancer has high mortality rate all over the globe and the foremost reason includes cigarette smoking. Treatments of lung cancer include chemotherapy and radiation therapy. This report provides in-depth discussion on global lung cancer therapeutics market and includes past and current trends with future forecast up to 2020. The report provides threats and opportunities for new and existing companies running the business in this market. The report is informative towards geographical segmentation and identifies profitable areas.
