An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a graphical recording of cardiac cycle produced by heart through an electrocardiograph. An electrocardiograph translates the heart electrical activity into line tracing on paper. ECG picks up electrical impulses generated by the polarization and depolarization of cardiac tissue and translates them into a waveform. The line is represented in spikes and dips form and is known as waves. ECG helps in detecting impulse produced by heart. ECG is mainly used to detect heart problems. A standard clinical ECG consists of 12 different leads. ECG is also used to know the cause of symptoms such as chest pain and palpitation with the help of ECG machine. ECG machine are medical equipments designed to measure heart rate. ECG machine can vary in size and function depending upon the requirements. ECG is specifically used to measure electrical current generated through heart with the help of multi-lead ECG machines. Multi-lead ECG machines are used for medical diagnostic purpose to measure patient heart rate, especially the electrical signal produced by the heart. Multi-lead ECG machines are available for home, personal use and sports. Multi-lead ECG machines are also used to diagnose heart attacks and heart murmurs. Some of the common multi-lead ECG machines are 12 lead ECG, 5 lead ECG and 3 lead ECG. 12 lead ECG is the standard ECG machine used for diagnosing chest pain, seizures and fainting. 5 lead ECG machine consists of 4 electrodes and used to monitor continuously during surgical procedure. 3 lead ECG machines are used to monitor heart rhythm and also used with other cardiac test such as echocardiogram.

Medical flat panel detectors are used in veterinary, mammography, cardiac angiographic imaging, scientific instrumentation, bone densinometry, tomosynthesis, radiation therapy, radio-surgery for oncology treatment and industrial non destructive testing applications.

Household insecticides are used to repel, and/or kill insects such as mosquitoes, bed bugs, house flies, cockroaches, and ants in residential complexes or houses. Household insecticides are either synthetic or organic chemicals , or a combination of both types of chemicals.

Hematology is a branch of medicine, which deals with the study of blood, blood-forming organs, and blood diseases. Hematology includes problems related with white blood cells, red blood cells, bone marrow, lymph, and platelets. It also affects the liquid component of blood known as plasma. Hematology includes various IVD technologies such as blood analysis, flow cytometry, immunodiagnostics, molecular diagnostics, hemostasis, histology, and cytology. A specialist in hematology treatment is known as hematologist. Bleeding disorders such as hemophila and blood clots, and blood cancer are some types of blood conditions. Some of the blood-associated diseases are anemia, leukemia, myelofibrosis, blood transfusion, malignant lymphomas, and bone marrow stem cell transplantation. Hematology is diagnosed through hematology tests. Hematology diagnoses anemia, infection, hemophilia, and blood clotting. Anemia is caused by various reasons such as iron deficiency, vitamin B-12 deficiency, chronic lead poisoning, and red blood cell destruction. Anemia is prominent in women. Hemophilia is an inherited blood disorder, in which, blood does not clot properly. Blood clots are clumps formed when blood hardens from liquid to solid. Blood tests include complete blood count, blood enzyme test, platelet count, international normalized ratio, and lipoprotein panel. Fatigue, pale skin, and shortness of breath with exertion are some of the common symptoms of blood disorder. Hemostatis, hematology reagents, immunohematology, and hematology rapid tests are some of the hematology diagnostics systems. Hemostatis is the largest segment of the global hematology diagnostics market.

Trucks market can be classified as light, medium and heavy based on their dimensions and load capacity. Heavy trucks market is solely dependent on the industrial progress in a country as it is used in carrying the raw materials for the industries as well as the finished goods from manufacturing location to its intended market. The logistics industry includes transportation modes in land, air and waterways. Land transport is further segmented into rail transport and road transport. The finished goods, especially the consumer goods are mostly transported by heavy trucks.

Gas mask popularly known as respiratory protection agent is a mask used to protect the person wearing it from inhaling airborne pollutants and toxic gases from external environment or the place where the person is working. Gas mask forms a sealed cover over the nose and mouth from where most of the inhalation takes place. Gas mask can also cover eyes and other valuable soft tissues of the face and protect the person from inhaling harmful gases from the environment.

Food encapsulation technology helps in stabilizing food ingredients to allow flavor retention, and remove bad taste from the food. With the help of food encapsulation, food and beverages industry tried to overcome challenges such as maintaining taste, color and nutrition of the product and preservation of the product. Food encapsulation has the ability to make easy coating of food particles or ingredients such as acidulants, fats, flavors, and whole ingredients such as raisins or nuts. With the increasing health awareness, consumers are giving more preference for tasty, healthy and convenient and these demands can be achieved by food encapsulation. On the basis of technology type, global food encapsulation market can be segmented into microencapsulation, nanoencapsulation and hybrid technologies. Food encapsulation technologies such as microencapsulation and nanoencapsulation have improved the food encapsulation industry. Microencapsulation is largely preferred over nanoencapsulation and hybrid technologies due to its cost-effectiveness, flexibility and versatility.

Surgical sealants are used after surgeries or traumatic injuries to bind or hold the external and internal tissues. Some of the major surgical sealants based on their composition are collagen-based compounds, fibrin sealants, synthetic sealants such as cyanoacrylates, and tissue adhesive glues such as hydogels and glutaraldehyde glues. Fibrin sealants, also known as fibrin glue, are a hemostatic agent. Fibrin glue is a unique adhesion material used in surgeries for closure of wounds. Fibrin glues are mainly extracted from collective plasma and contain different amounts of purified and virally-inactivated human proteins. Fibrin glue is composed of two components, including fibrinogen and factor XIII. These concentrated ingredients interact with a solution of thrombin and calcium to form coagulum. As the thrombin and fibrinogen/factor XIII solution combine, a clot of a blood protein called fibrin develops in a few seconds, depending on the dilute form of thrombin is used. Some of the characteristics of fibrin glue include high internal bond strength, high surface adherence strength, and ability to enhance tissue regeneration and clot formation. Fibrin glue is mainly used in cardiac, vascular, and pulmonary surgeries, burn bleeding, and lacerations of liver and spleen. It is also used in other surgeries such as neurosurgeries, plastic surgeries, wound management, and general and orthopedic surgeries. Fibrin glue lowers the risk of infection, provides early hemostasis on the treated area, and improves cosmesis. It also promotes natural tissue healing. However, one of the disadvantages of fibrin glue is the risk of transmission of infectious organisms from human bodies to the glue. Tisseel, biocol, and beriplast are some of the commercially-prepared fibrin sealants.
