In addition, mobile imaging equipment is poised to expand from diagnosis to include biopsies and surgeries. Mobile MRI equipment is the most preferred technology for mobile purposes. However, it is more expensive than a CT scanner. MRI scanners use strong magnetic fields and radio waves for the purpose of imaging internal organs such as head, spine, heart, bone/joints, and abdomen. Moreover, MRI is used to examine the head, spine, heart, bone/joints, and abdomen. The mobile imaging systems are designed to be installed in large vans/trailers that operate as mobile scanning rooms, and can be taken to various sites offering extended care.

Infectious diseases are caused by pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria, parasites, virus, and fungi. It can be spread directly or indirectly from one person to another. Fever, muscle ache, diarrhea, and fatigue are some of the common signs and symptoms of infectious diseases. These symptoms may vary depending upon the organism causing infection. Many infections, such as measles and chicken pox, can be prevented by vaccination. These are treated with the help of antibiotics and anti-fungal and anti-parasitic drugs. Various laboratory tests, imaging scans, and biopsies are carried out to identify microbes causing illness. Point-of-care tests for infectious disease can improve the detection and management of infectious diseases by reducing the time between testing and diagnosis of an infection. New trends in healthcare such as healthcare at home make point-of-care tests the most efficient and effective way of delivering healthcare.

Blood pressure refers to the pressure exerted by the blood against the arteries. Blood pressure varies due to various factors such as strength of heartbeat, elasticity of arterial walls, viscosity and volume of blood, individual physical health, and age. Blood pressure is measured in mm Hg. Fluctuation in blood pressure may be caused by hypotension and hypertension. Prevalence of hypertension is more common as compared to hypotension and it may be chronic. Chronic hypertension leads to other complications such as heart attack and stroke. Clinical measurement of blood pressure can be accomplished both invasively and non-invasively. Common symptoms associated with high blood pressure are blood spots in the eyes, dizziness, severe headache, shortness of breath, anxiety, and facial flushing. Blood pressure is regulated by the nervous and endocrine system. Blood pressure is measured with the help of an instrument called sphygmomanometer.

Neonate refers to the newly born baby. Neonatal is the period of around 4 weeks after birth. Among children, newborns have higher risk of death as they are more susceptible to acquire infections. Individuals taking care of neonatal infants are called neonatologists. Neonatologists provide comprehensive treatment and care to premature and full-term infant. The immune system of neonatal infant is not fully developed, which increases risk of developing various neonatal disorders. Neonate may suffer from various disorders such as neonatal cardiac murmur, neonatal diarrhoea, neonatal distress, sudden infant death syndrome, neonatal edema, neonatal hypoglycaemia, neonatal jaundice, and neonatal abstinence syndrome.

Cancer is a disease of genes which are caused due to abnormal growth of cells. These abnormal cells further migrate from the original site to other site through blood and lymph system. Lung cancer is one of the types of cancer formed in tissues of the lungs. Lung cancer is a malignant lung carcinoma characterized by abnormal cell growth in lung tissue. Lung cancer decreases the lung ability to provide oxygen to bloodstream. Some of the major symptoms of lung cancer include body mucus, coughing, shortness of breath, wheezing, appetite loss, weight loss and chest pain. Cigarette smoking is the prominent cause of lung cancer. Pipe and cigar smoking are some other causes of lung cancer. Lung cancer is treated through surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy and vaccine therapy. The primary lung carcinomas originate from epithelial cells. Non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer and lung carcinoid tumor are three different types of lung cancer. Non-small cell lung cancer is the most common type of lung cancer and it grows slowly compared to other type of lung cancer. Squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma and large cell carcinoma are subtypes of non-small cell lung cancer. Small cell lung cancer is also known as oat cell cancer and comprises small cell carcinoma and combined small cell carcinoma. Lung carcinoid tumors are uncommon type of tumor which begins in lungs and are made up of neuroendocrine cells. Some of the drugs used to treat non-small cell lung cancer include avastin, gemzar, taxotere and tarceva.

Diabetes is a chronic disease characterized by high blood sugar level. It is caused by the improper functioning of the pancreas which secretes insulin. Diabetes is also known as diabetes mellitus. High blood sugar leads to increased thirst and hunger, and frequent urination. Lack of treatment for diabetes causes several complications such as diabetes ketoacidosis, heart disease, stroke, and kidney failures. Insulin infusion therapy is used to treat diabetes. There are three types of diabetes including type1, type 2, and gestational diabetes. Type 1 diabetes, also known as insulin dependent diabetes or juvenile diabetes, is characterized by low production of insulin by the body. Some of the conditions which lead to type 1 diabetes are addisons disease, celiac disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and autoimmune thyroid disease. Type 2 diabetes is the most common type of diabetes, predominant in overweight and obese people. Pancreatectomy, chronic pancreatitis, and cystic fibrosis are some of the conditions which lead to Type2 diabetes. Diabetes is treated through diabetes drugs such as insulin, metformin, and sulphonylureas. Diabetes drugs help in preventing complications and controlling blood glucose level in the blood. Some of the drugs used to treat type 2 diabetes are metformin, actos, avandia, lantus subcutaneous, and invokana. All drugs are administered orally except insulin, exenatide, liraglutide, and pramlintide. Insulin is delivered through insulin delivery devices including infusion pump, intravenous sets, insulin syringe, insulin pen, and jet injectors. Long acting, intermediate acting, short acting, and rapid acting are some of the types of insulin used to treat diabetes.

Biosimilars or follow-on biologics are biopharmaceutical drugs that are similar to approved biological drugs. Biosimilars are different from other generic drugs in terms of raw material and their manufacturing process. Generic drugs are composed of small molecules. However, biosimilars are composed of more complex molecules, such as human insulin and monoclonal antibodies. Many biosimilars are derived from plants, animals, bacteria, viruses and yeast. It is produced by recombinant DNA technology and controlled gene expression methods. Biosimilar drugs are used in prevention and treatment of various severe diseases such as cancer, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, heart attacks, rheumatoid arthritis, oncology, growth hormone deficiency, chronic kidney failure, hematological disease and infectious disease. Biosimilars offer less costly treatment than other biological drugs and synthetic drugs.
