Smart fertility tracker is a device that helps predict the ovulation time based on physiological parameters of fertility such as the basal body temperature. Females get pregnant only during 6 days of ovulation, which provides a narrow fertility window. Smart fertility trackers help in managing pregnancy by predicting the start and end of these days.

Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae. Leprosy is also known as Hansen's disease. It affects the skin, mucosal surfaces of the upper respiratory tract, the peripheral nerves and the eyes. Leprosy can occur in people of all ages, from infants to the elderly. The exact transmission of the disease is not known, but it is strongly believed that leprosy is transferred from a leprosy patient to a healthy person. Delayed diagnosis of leprosy is likely to cause some serious complications such as muscle weakness, erectile dysfunction, kidney failure, blindness and others. The best way to prevent leprosy is to avoid contact with infected and untreated people. Leprosy is a curable disease and various drugs are available in the market for the treatment of leprosy. One of the treatments for leprosy is Multidrug Therapy (MDT), which involves the use of a combination of drugs. The World Health Organization recommends a combination of rifampicin, clofazimine and dapsone drugs for leprosy treatment.

Osteoporosis testing is a type of procedure that allows physicians/rheumatologists to examine bone density in the outpatient clinic. Osteoporosis is a disease identified by thinning and deterioration of bone tissue with loss of calcification and density. Osteoporosis can increase over time. This can cause the bone to become brittle and increasingly porous. Women and older adults are more at risk of being affected by osteoporosis. Heredity, low body weight, and chronic use of certain medications (steroids) may also risk factors for the disease. Lifting, bending, bumping, sneezing can also cause a bone to break in people affected by osteoporosis. Osteoporosis testing helps to estimate the density of bones and the chances of breaking a bone. Osteoporosis testing check the bone density, physicians usually refer to bone densitometer. Bone loss can occur because of different disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis, hyperparathyroidism, chronic kidney disease, multiple myeloma or drugs such as anti-epileptics and glucocorticoids.

A fiducial marker is a device designed to serve as a reference for physical comparison and positional verification of tissues during diagnostic and therapeutic applications such as radiotherapy. Fiducial markers are either implanted, placed on the subject, or are measurable markings in the reticle of an optical instrument.

Across the globe, approximately 5% of the global population is suffering from a rare disorder, which makes the treatment of rare disorders a deliberating concern. Achalasia is a rare disorder of the oesophagus that is generally characterized by the incomplete relaxation of the lower oesophageal sphincter in response to swallowing. The symptoms of achalasia include chest pain, weight loss, heartburn, regurgitation, nocturnal coughing, dysphagia and postprandial aspiration, among others. Dysphagia is the most common symptom in patients suffering from achalasia. The causes of achalasia are still unknown. Achalasia is associated with abnormalities of oesophageal peristalsis. Achalasia treatment involves the removal of obstructions caused because the lower oesophageal sphincter muscle fails to relax. Drugs such as isosorbide or nifedipine can provide some relief to patients suffering from achalasia. It is estimated that approximately 70% of achalasia cases are more effectively treated by the enlargement of the lower oesophageal sphincter muscle through a procedure known as pneumatic balloon dilation. Achalasia generally affects adults aged between 25 and 60 years. However, it is likely to occur at any age, including childhood. The symptoms of achalasia appear gradually. People suffering from achalasia are expected to be at the risk of developing oesophageal cancer.

Sodium sulfite is a soluble sodium salt of sulfurous acid. Sodium sulfite is an essential chemical in the pulp and paper industry for bleaching, de-sulfurizing, and dechlorinating activities. Sodium sulphite compound is used as a pulping agent for the manufacturing of pulp. Manufacturers categorize sodium sulphite by form as powder, crystals, and liquid. The global sodium sulphite market is anticipated to witness positive growth during the forecast period, due to its various properties. Sodium sulphite removes excess chlorine, and is used in the bleaching of wood pulp and raw materials for the production of pulp and paper. Moreover, sodium sulphite is widely used in the food industry for maintaining the freshness of food products. Pharmaceutical manufacturers use sodium sulphite in the manufacturing of many drugs which are used to maintain potency and stability.

Hypophosphorous Acid, molecular formula:- H3PO2, is a colourless phosphorus oxo-acid compound. Hypophosphorous Acid is act as a strong reducing agents. Generally, production of conventional hypophosphorous acid is carried out by a metathesis method or an ion exchange resin method. Hypophosphorous Acid is stable compound under normal condition, however, after heating it decomposes into phosphoric acid, hydrogen and phosphine compound. Generally, Hypophosphorous Acid are used as bleaching agent in synthetic fibers, plastics, and chemicals applications. Also, hypophosphorous acid and its derivative compounds i.e. hypophosphite salts such as calcium hypophosphite, magnesium hypophosphite, and sodium hypophosphite, among others, are prevalently used in synthesis of chemicals, pharmaceuticals, electroplating, and water treatments applications. Also, Hypophosphorous Acid is used as a decolorizing agent and stabilising agent in production of polymer and plastic compounds such as polyamides, nylon fibers, alkyd resins, polyacrilonitrile, polyester fibre, epoxies, and fatty acid esters, among others.

Glass lenses have been used for various applications so far. However, they are brittle and are likely to deteriorate easily, which has led to the development and growth of plastic lenses. Plastic lenses have several advantages over glass lenses in terms of good UV resistance, greater durability, as well as safety for use in sports activities or any physical activity that is likely to cause the breakage of the lens. Plastic lenses can be coated with various coatings depending upon end-user requirements. The low weight of plastic lenses compared to glass lenses is among factors that has increased their comfort and user-friendliness. Coatings, such as anti-reflective coatings that are difficult to apply on glass lenses, can be easily applied on plastic lenses. In addition, plastic lenses can provide better protection from flying sparks from fireworks, campfires, welding, and grinding work. Hence, plastic lenses are used in eye-safety equipment of military personnel, police and fire fighters as they offer shatter resistance. These lenses can be tinted with a specific range of colours, which boosts their cost, however, it makes them more attractive. These lenses are available in various shapes and sizes in the market and are used in various equipment such as microscopes and projectors.
