A superhard material is a material with a hardness level exceeding 40 gigapascals. Superhard materials are highly incompressible solids with high electron density and high bond covalency.

Bioadhesives is a natural polymeric material which is used as adhesives (substance applied to the surfaces of materials that binds them together and resists separation) between two separate materials. Bioadhesives are mostly used to describe glue which is used to bind the substance and resist separation between two materials. Glue is synthetically (execution of chemical reactions to obtain a product) formed by using biological monomers (molecule that is used to chemically bind two molecules to form a polymer) such as sugars or by any synthetic material designed to adhere to biological tissue. Bioadhesives materials have the property to build durable interface between two classes of materials such as hard and soft materials, which are of disparate scale and exhibit certain characteristic which makes them different from synthetic adhesives. Protein and carbohydrate are the major substances used to make bioadhesives. Proteins (gelatin) and carbohydrates (starch) have been used as general-purpose glues by general public since ages.

Ear, nose and throat are some of the most important parts of the human body. It is very essential to keep these parts function properly. There are many factors, such as aging and sinusitis, affect the normal function of these organs. ENT, one of the most important branches of medical science, primarily focused to diagnosis and treatment of the various problems associated with ear, nose and throat. In addition, various ENT devices are available for the diagnosis and treatment of these organs associated diseases. Some of the most common ENT devices are diagnostic devices, surgical devices and therapeutic devices. Deficiencies related to hearing, smelling and speaking are diagnose and treated by the help of these ENT devices.

Dentistry is defined as the evaluation, diagnosis, prevention, and/or treatment of diseases, disorders, and/or conditions of the oral cavity, maxillofacial area, and/or the adjacent and associated structures using surgical, nonsurgical, or related procedures. Concern for oral care is increasing due to rising prevalence of tooth decay, periodontal diseases, tooth erosion, and tooth sensitivity Dentists use various tools for different procedures such as removing cavity and cleaning teeth. These tools are made of metals such as stainless steel and tungsten carbide. Dental drills are available in various designs. Dental drill is basically composed of an air turbine, a hand-piece and tungsten carbide drill bit. Hand piece is a tube shaped slender connecting drill bit with the driving motor. Drill bit is the essential part of dental drill. Dental drills are constructed from a variety of raw materials such as metals and polymers. The most advance hand piece is made with titanium. Electric operated dental drill generate large amount of heat. It performs cutting action smoothly. Dental drill is frequently used by dentists and dental practitioners for treating cavities in diseases such as dental caries and abscesses, as to restore teeth. It bores through tooth enamel and removes or clean plaque from the surface of the tooth. After drilling the tooth completely, accurately and properly, it is prepared for filling with suitable material and crown to strengthen teeth. It also helps in reducing further damage. New innovations and technological advancement are replacing dental drill with lasers. Nowadays, a new method known as air-abrasive technology is used by dentists of treating cavities. In this new method dentist blasts away parts of the tooth surface without using a drill.

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.

Diabetes refers to a group of metabolic disease characterized by high blood sugar level. Diabetes occurs due to inadequate secretion of insulin inside the pancreas. Some of the common symptoms for diabetes are frequent urination, excessive thirst, increased hunger, weight loss and tiredness. Type 1, type 2 and gestational diabetes are three types of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease occurred due to high blood glucose level whereas, type 2 diabetes is a lifelong chronic diseases caused due to excess secretion of insulin inside the body. In type 1 diabetes, the immune system is activated against self-insulin producing cells. This results into low production of insulin and also disrupts blood glucose homeostasis. In type 1 diabetes, exposure to viral infection such as mumps and coxsackie viruses results into pancreas damage which results into low insulin secretion. Type 1 diabetes is highly prevalent in young people and children whereas type 2 diabetes is common type of diabetes. Some of the common symptoms for type 2 diabetes are overweight, high blood pressure and high triglycerides. Diabetes is treated with the help of insulin delivery devices and drugs. Diabetes diagnostic devices includes analog blood meter, test strips, lancets and lancing devices whereas, insulin delivery devices includes insulin syringe, insulin pump, insulin pen and insulin jet injectors. Severe problems such as blindness, kidney failure, coronary heart disease and strokes may result due to lack of proper treatment.

Plasma is the liquid portion of the blood. Plasma is the versatile component and makes about 55% of the blood. Plasma is the composite mixture of more than 700 proteins and other substances which are vital for the efficient functioning of the human body. Plasma helps in regulating body temperature and blood pressure. It serves as a medium for exchange of proteins, nutrients and hormones to the different parts of the body. Clotting factor, albumin and immunoglobulin are some of the major proteins found in plasma. Plasma is extracted as proteins and substances and used as main ingredients in medical products to replace body fluids, clotting factors and antibodies. Plasma is used as a component for the treatment of serious health problems such as hemophilia and autoimmune disorders.

Packaging refers to an economical means of providing protection, presentation, identification information, convenience and compliance for a product during storage, carriage and display. In addition, packaging also helps manufacturers to differentiate their products from competitors. Pharmaceutical packaging is an essential part of pharmaceuticals product and drug delivery system in the pharmaceutical industry. Pharmaceutical packaging protects products from physical damage, biological contamination and from all adverse external influences which can damage the properties of the products. Pharmaceutical packaging material consists of primary packaging system, secondary packaging system and tertiary packaging system. Primary packaging system consists of those packaging material which have direct contact with the product. It includes bottles, cap, labels and cap liner. Ampoules, tubes, blisters, pens vials, inhalers and syringes are some primary packaging for dosing and fillings. Secondary packaging system includes cartoons, corrugated shippers and pallets.

Digital pathology refers to the process of using computer technology to convert an analog microscopic image into a digital image. A digital pathology system is an image based healthcare information system which creates, manages, stores, shares, analyzes and interprets the digital image through glass slides by using computer technology. Digital pathology helps in accurate diagnosis by standardizing test interpretation and workflow. Digital pathology systems are used in hospitals, research institutions, medical universities and government organizations. The application based market of digital pathology includes human and animal pathology. Digital pathology systems can be integrated with laboratory information system that help to capture, store, manage, share and display patient's related information such as patient's case history, case reports and other related documents for the treatment of patients. A digital pathology system helps to reducing laboratory expenses and improving patients care through integration.
