Radiation nephropathy is renal injury and loss of function affected by ionizing radiation. The major risk with radiation nephropathy and bone marrow transplant (BMT) nephropathy is progressive loss of renal function with evolution to end-stage renal failure. The radiation nephropathy usually occurs after sufficient irradiation of both kidneys. The renal failure may be accelerated due to uncontrolled hypertension, hence to control the loss of renal function, blood pressure must be maintained. Thus, antihypertensive agents are an important part of clinical management of radiation nephropathy or BMT nephropathy. The goal of therapy is to keep blood pressure at less than 130/85 mm Hg or 125/75 mm Hg if the patient has proteinuria of greater than 1000 mg/d. Moreover, due to its uncommon characteristics, there are no controlled trials to guide the management of radiation nephropathy. Hence, radiation nephropathy treatment and management is guided by the same principles of treatment of any hypertensive kidney disease, including renovascular hypertension, blood pressure control and correction of metabolic acidosis. The most important blood pressure medications to treat renal hypertension include: ACE inhibitors (angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors). These include ramipril, benazepril, captopril, lisinopril, and others; and ARBs (angiotensin II receptor blockers). Examples include candesartan, losartan, olmesartan and valsartan. However, some people with renal hypertension can be helped by angioplasty, stenting, or surgery on the blood vessels of the kidney.

Meniscus repair systems is a device intended for use in meniscal repairs and meniscal allograft transplant procedures such as insertion, anchoring or suturing the allograft to the meniscal rim during transplant procedures. A meniscus transplant or repair surgery is performed to repair or replace the damaged or diseased meniscus of the knee.

Laryngeal papillomatosis is also referred to as recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RPP). Laryngeal papillomatosis is a rare disease which causes tumor in the aerodigestive tract. Laryngeal papillomatosis is caused by the human papillomavirus and results in infection of the throat. The tumor caused by human papillomavirus grows in the larynx, which is the voice box of the human body. There are two types of human papillomavirus responsible for laryngeal papillomatosisis i.e. HPV 6 and HPV 11. Sudden change in voice, such as emergence of hoarseness, is the first symptom of laryngeal papillomatosis. Some people may also experience difficulty in breathing when suffering from laryngeal papillomatosisis. Human papillomavirus in the larynx may vary in size from person to person but it grows rapidly in all people. The probability of this tumor spreading to lungs is quite low. Majority of laryngeal papillomatosis cases are non–cancerous. However, in rare cases, they may also lead to cancer. Laryngeal papillomatosis treatment cannot be completely done by chemotheraphy and hence, surgery is the first line of treatment for laryngeal papillomatosisis. Laryngeal papillomatosis treatment by surgery may lead to several complications, especially in children. Laser technology and carbon dioxide laser surgery are widely preferred for laryngeal papillomatosis treatment.

Planters are agricultural implements that are generally drawn behind a tractor. They are used for the sowing of seeds in rows across a field. Planters are usually classified based on their mechanism, power source and the type of crops. Several machines have been introduced for sowing seeds in rows, which compete with planters in the agricultural machinery industry. Increase in the demand for food driven by population growth has created the need for higher productivity in the land available for cultivation. Moreover, there has been a reduction in the acreage of land available for cultivation. These factors have resulted in the higher demand for agricultural machinery such as planters.

Heartworm treatment deals with the prevention and treatment of heartworm diseases. The overall veterinary treatment market has been growing in the past few years, due to the increasing awareness towards veterinary healthcare. Heartworm disease is a severe, fatal disease, which is generally found in pets. Heartworm disease is usually caused by foot-long worms present in the lungs, heart, and associated blood vessels of affected pets. Heartworm disease causes severe heart failure, lung disease, and damage to other organs in the body. Heartworm disease affects pets like cats, dogs, and ferrets. In addition, these worms also live in other mammal species such as coyotes, wolves, sea lions, foxes, and others. Species like coyotes and foxes live in proximity to many urban areas, thus, they are considered as important carriers of the heartworm disease. Dogs are considered to be a natural host for heartworms. It has also been found that, heartworm disease in cats is very different from heartworm disease in dogs. Cats are a typical host for heartworms. The symptoms of heartworm disease include a mild persistent cough, fatigue after moderate activity, reluctance to exercise, weight loss, and decreased appetite. Heartworms are spread through the bites of mosquitos that carry the infective heartworm larvae. The larvae continue to mature in the dog's heart and lungs. Dogs are usually treated with three injections, namely: melarsomine, doxycycline, and prednisone. The melarsomine injection kills the adult heartworms and reduces the chances of unwanted side effects. Moreover, a severe case of heartworm disease requires a surgery to remove the worms from the heart and vessels within the lungs.
