The term "immunoglobulin" refers to the breakdown of blood plasma that contains antibody. IVIg is a blood product which is administered intravenously. It contains polyvalent IgG antibodies which are extracted from the plasma of more than thousand of blood donors. Individuals who are unable to produce adequate amount of antibodies, such as patients with common variable immunodeficiency, Wiskott Aldrich Syndrome, X-linked agammaglobulinemia and other forms of hypogammaglobulinemia, get benefit from IVIg to maintain the appropriate level of antibodies in the body.

Ophthalmology is the branch of medicines which deals with anatomy, physiology and diseases of the eye. Some of the major eye diseases include haloes, distorted vision, eyelid abnormalities, glaucoma, retinal disease and cataract. The ophthalmology device market is categorized based on various diagnostic and monitoring devices, surgical devices and vision care products. These segments comprise several devices used for treatment of eye diseases. The diagnostic and monitoring device segment is further sub-segmented into fundus cameras, pachymeters, specular microscopes, optical coherence tomography scanners, keratometers, ophthalmic ultrasound imaging systems, wavefront aberrometers, tonometers, slit lamps and corneal topographers. The surgical device segment includes refractive device, vitreoretinal surgery device, cataract and glaucoma devices. The vision care segment comprises spectacles and contact lenses.

Food and beverages packaging provides protection, tampering resistance and special physical, chemical, or biological needs for the food and beverages. Further Food packaging aids food nutrition, rapid and reliable distribution of food among the value chain and reduces post-harvest losses.

A clinical decision support system is a part of clinical knowledge management technologies. It is an application which is used to analyze data to help healthcare providers make clinical decisions. A clinical decision support system can be used by nurses, physicians and healthcare providers to prepare and review diagnosis for improving final outcomes. These systems are designed to incorporate patient data and medical knowledge base. There are two types of clinical decision support systems, first is knowledge base decision support systems and the other is without knowledge based decision support systems. Knowledge based decision support systems implement rules to patient data with the help of inference engine and demonstrate the results to the end user. Whereas, without knowledge based decision support systems depend on machine learning to analyze the clinical data.

Corrugated board packaging technique is regarded as the biggest segment among the overall paperboard packaging technique. Corrugated Board is a high performance packaging material designed to pack, protect and promote products. Corrugated board is a combination of three sheets of paper, collectively called containerboard. The paper layers on the outside are known as the liners, or linerboard, while the fluted or wave-shaped material in the middle layer is called corrugating medium.

The gene therapy market has undergone a series of transformation from past few years. Initially gene therapy of monogenetic diseases was popular; however now the gene therapy market is gaining popularity for treatment of cancer. Cancer gene therapy refers to a process of treatment of cancer by inserting therapeutic DNA into patient. Cancer gene therapy is gaining popularity as a result of its success rate in preclinical and clinical trial stages. The most common technique for cancer gene therapy involves replacing a mutated gene that is causing cancer with a healthy copy of gene. Other technique involves inactivation of a gene that is not working properly. A new technique that is being introduced to cancer gene therapy market involves insertion of new genes into the body that would help to fight against tumor cells.

Tissue Engineering is a process involving in-vitro development of tissues or organs. It is done to replace or support the function of defective or injured body part. Tissue engineering involves the application of biology and engineering for innovation of tissue substitutes that can maintain, restore and improve the function of ruptured human tissue. Products developed by this procedure are efficient and durable. Tissue engineering is gaining its popularity in various areas such as burn treatment or wound care, neurology products, orthopedics, urological products and others. On the basis of type of material used, tissue engineering and regeneration market can be segmented into synthetic, genetically modified and biological materials. In terms of technology, tissue engineering and regeneration market can be segmented into immunoisolation technology, cell culture technology and stem cell technology.

Antibacterial drugs refer to the substances that can destroy or inhibit the growth of microorganism such as bacteria. Antibacterial drugs are often termed as antibiotics, and widely used in prevention and treatment of infectious dieses. Various classes of these drugs have been developed, according to the microorganism to be checked. Antibacterial drugs market is driven by increasing prevalence of infectious diseases.

Medical practice management software(PMS) is extensive healthcare software which is used in day to day operations of medical practices. Medical practice management software capture, stores, manages and transmits information related to the health of individuals or the activities of organizations that work within the healthcare sector. Medical practice management software helps in integration of electronic health records (EHR) to provide interoperability solutions and assist in the overall practice management process. In addition, the medical practice management software helps in real time verification of the patients, schedule appointments, patient's registration. Medical practice management software also helps in various other processes such as medical billing, storing demographics data, maintaining list of insurance payers, claim management, billing tasks and others.
