Hyperkalaemia is a disease in which the levels of potassium are higher than normal. Minerals including potassium are essential for the body and are required for the normal functioning of the cells. The kidneys are responsible for the maintenance of potassium content in the body by balancing its intake as well as its excretion. If the intake of potassium is higher than the ability of the kidney to excrete it or if the functioning of the kidney decreases, hyperkalaemia is likely to occur. The right concentrations of sodium and potassium in the body play an essential role in the electric signal function of the myocardium. Hyperkalaemia can be caused due to chronic kidney disease, diabetes and congestive heart failure. Moreover, certain blood pressure-lowering drugs also disturb the body's potassium balance. Abnormal levels of potassium can lead to irregular heartbeats, which can be fatal. Type 2 diabetics patients tend to suffer due to imbalances between extracellular and intracellular fluid compartments as insulin plays an important role in exchanging potassium into intracellular compartments. Medicines are used for the treatment of hyperkalaemia to control the level of potassium. The drug attaches to the surplus amount of potassium present in the large intestine so that it can be excreted from the body in the form of stool. Hyperkalaemia is diagnosed by blood tests, kidney functioning test, glucose monitoring and creatinine blood test. Electrocardiography is also advised to determine abnormal heart rhythms. The choice of hyperkalaemia treatment depends upon its degree and severity.

Kick bucket is a common term used for a medical receptacle. Kick buckets are usually made of stainless steel, and are mounted on wheels. The bucket and the wheel framework is also available in the market separately. It is called a kick bucket due to the concept that the bucket is generally moved around the operating room using the foot. This is possible because the bucket is mounted on wheels. The kick bucket is used during a surgical procedure for the disposal of a number of pliable and disposable articles, such as sponges that are used to absorb blood or fluids during the procedure. At the end of the procedure, a nurse counts the number of sponges in the bucket to ensure that all the sponges are accounted for.

Cervical dystonia/spasmodic torticollis is the involuntary muscular contraction of the neck, which leads to head twist. It is a rare neurological disorder that affects all age groups and most often it affects middle-aged people. Women are more susceptible to cervical dystonia compared to men. Muscular contractions of cervical dystonia can cause the head to twist in different directions, e.g., the chin towards the shoulder, chin straight up, ear toward the shoulder and chin straight down. Most of the people with cervical dystonia experience neck pain and it can be radiated into shoulders. The cause of cervical dystonia is unknown and in few cases, it is considered as genetic. Presently, there is no cure for cervical dystonia and in few cases the treatment is not required. Botulinum toxin injection is used for symptomatic therapy to reduce signs and symptoms, whereas surgery is used in few cases. Botulinum is often used as a paralyzing agent to smooth facial wrinkles. Other treatments such as oral medication that includes anticholinergic agents and dopaminergic agents are used in combination. Oral medication is effective in generalized dystonia and mostly used in children.

Facial spasm or hemifacial spasm is frequent involuntary contraction of facial muscles on one side of face. In 92% of cases, facial spasm starts with twitching in muscle of left eyelid and further progresses down the face over a period of time. If left untreated it gets severe. The condition mostly occurs in middle aged or elderly men and women. Facial spasm is a neuromuscular disorder. Facial spasm treatment is often started with home remedies along with medications but surgery is recommended if the condition gets worse. In home remedies, consumption of caffeine is kept low to help calm muscles. Consumption of vitamin D, magnesium, chamomile and blueberries is often recommended. Various anti-convulsant or muscle relaxant drugs are consumed to prevent twitching e.g. carbamazepine. These drugs can be very effective in early phase of facial spasm treatment. Botulinum toxin (BTX) injection is often used in facial spasm treatment if condition gets worse. Prevalence of facial spasm is reported more in women than men.

3D printing is an innovative technology used by various industries, but in healthcare industries, 3D printing plays an important role. 3D printing has given an all-new vision to healthcare industry with a great focus on future of healthcare industries, which can provide all new concept for organ development to bone structure formation which can heal the patient in a very effective way and give a better lifestyle. 3D printed in ophthalmic is also a revolutionary step to treat ophthalmic related problem based on individual patients. The current ophthalmic industries are facing many problems related to orbit and bone deformation which support ophthalmic organ. The 3D printed ophthalmic implants can be used for printing of 3D corneal implants, which can provide a better vision to the patient. 3D printing also provides customized orbital implants which is a biocompatible material and shows very less rejection rate after implant. 3D printed customized orbital implants provide all new concept for supporting the vision of the particular patient. The industry players which are working on the development for 3D printed ophthalmic implants are doing continuous research to introduce innovative biocompatible products.
