Cellular imaging is a technology used to detect and analyze organelles and macromolecules with the help of microscopy and computer programming. It also helps in measuring properties of cells including shape, size and protein presence. Cellular imaging also helps in knowing biomolecules nature. Confocal laser scanning microscopy, fluroscence resonance energy transfer and multiphoton are some of the advanced cellular imaging techniques which helps in understanding molecular and functional systems in the cell. Hospitals, academic institutions, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology companies uses cellular imaging systems as an important tool for drug discovery, research and diagnosis. Cellular imaging also helps in generating high throughput mode to discover the biomarkers and drug target candidates. Microscopic and macroscopic techniques are two types of intravital cellular imaging technologies.

Cardiac POC is a medical test performed to diagnose patients. The cardiac POCs are blood tests including cholesterol and coagulation testing. These include brain natriuretic peptide tests and troponin. Troponin are used to analyse various cardiovascular conditions such as coronary syndromes, heart failures and acute myocardial. The cardiac POCs help in enzyme detection which is released during critical cardiac conditions such as troponin, lactate, dehydrogenase isoenzymes and brain natriuretic peptides. In addition, it also helps in detection of enzymes released during failure of the heart. Cardiac POCs are helpful in diagnosing specific diseases such as myocardial infarction and angina. Cardiac POCs provides accurate information related to the markers which are released during heart failure. These tests help in reducing turnaround time from testing to final results of the patient's diagnosis. Thus, helps in providing effective treatment to the patients.

An insulin pen is a infusion device used to pervade insulin to diabetic patients. Patients suffering from type 1 diabetes prefer insulin pen for their treatments. Insulin pen offers easier administration of insulin into the body. It provides more accurate dosages and less pain compared to vials and syringes and also preferred by clinicians and patients. Insulin pen helps in improving quality of life and reduces fear of hyperglycemia. Low cost of insulin pen increases its affordability among different age group of people. Most of the insulin pen comprises of two categories including reusable and disposable insulin pens. Prefilled insulin pen are disposable pen which are preferred by people for insulin infusion. Insulin pen needles are shorter and thinner than syringes. Insulin pen should not be shared as there is a risk of transmission of diseases such as hepatitis B.

An adhesion barrier is a medical device used to avoid adhesion occurred during surgery. Adhesion barrier is used to separate internal tissues and organ to avoid formation of scar tissues named adhesion. Visceral or parietal peritoneum damage leads to adhesion formation. Adhesion can lead to chronic pain, bowel obstruction and infertility. These are common risk occurred during surgery. Abdominal surgery gives rise to large number of adhesions compared to other procedure. These are prepared from expanded polyterafluorethylene, oxidized regenerated cellulose, carboxymethlcellulose and sodium hylauronate. Some of the major applications of adhesion barrier are abdominal surgery, gynaecological surgery and other surgical procedures. Adhesion treatment includes manual technique known as wurn technique, chinese herbal medicines and surgery. Chinese herbal medicines are used by people who prefer natural medication for adhesion treatment. On the other hand, surgical intervention is the most common procedure used to treat adhesion. Laparoscopy and laparotomy are two predominant method of surgery which gives rise to adhesion.

Ostomy is a surgically created opening, called as stoma, in the body. Ostomy is a surgical opening for the collection of waste products, such as urine, stool and mucus, from urinary bladder and intestine externally. Depending on the type of condition and needs of the patient an ostomy can be permanent or temporary. Different kinds of ostomies are named for the organ involved such as urostomy, colostomy and ileostomy. Some of the ostomy products are ostomy care accessories and ostomy bags. Ostomy care accessories are used for ostomates in order to improve the comfort and functioning of ostomy bags. Ostomy care accessories help to fragrant the content, provide skin care for the peristomal region and prevent leakage of the ostomy bag contents.

A respirator is a medical device that is designed from protection against inhaling dust, harmful fumes or gases. A respirator may be air purifying or air supplying in its nature. Based on different applications, various types of respirators are available in the market. For instance, respirators are used for military purposes, laboratory purposes and others. Respiratory devices market is growing at a significant rate due to increasing prevalence of respiratory diseases and growing awareness for different levels and different types of respiratory diseases. Various types of respirators are air purifying respirators, mechanical filter respirators, chemical cartridge respirators, powered air-purifying respirators (papers) and others. Air-purifying respirators are of many types negative-pressure respirators which include chemical media and mechanical filters. Positive pressure respirators include powered air-purifying respirators (PAPRs). Air-Purifying escape respirators (APER) are used by the general public for radiological, biological, chemical and nuclear (CBRN) terrorism incidents. Particulate respirator refers to a medical device that is used for purifying air. It helps to inhale pure air as it has a filtering element that blocks the entry of contaminated air. On the basis of designing, particulate respirators can be categorized into half face particulate respirators and full face particulate respirators. The global market for particulate respirators is increasing at a significant rate due to increasing number of respiratory disorder cases.

Heart valves are the structures in the human heart which controls the flow of blood during the cardiac cycle. The valves of the heart works throughout to maintain continue flow of blood. The functioning of the heart can be interrupted leading to atresia, valvular stenosis, prolapse and valvular insufficiency. The pulmonary, mitral and tricuspid valves can be repaired and replaced depending on the functionality and condition of these valves. Aortic valves are not repaired and it is replaced with prosthetic heart valve. The people aged 60 and above are most susceptible to cardiac problems.

Plastic surgery is a kind of cosmetic surgery and used for the restoration and enhancement of the aesthetic appearance of an individual. Plastic surgery can be performed on any parts of the body. It includes nose, eye, breast, neck and burned site of an individual.

Stevia is a natural, plant-based, zero-calorie, and high-intensity sweetener. Stevia is extracted from the leaves of the plant species Stevia Rebaudiana, which is most-widely grown in Brazil and Paraguay. Around 40 years ago, stevia found commercial use, when Japan started consuming it as a sweetening agent. Steviacan be utilized in processed food, as it remains stable when heated. It is 200- to 300-time sweeter than sugar. Stevia measures zero on the glycemic index (a measurement carried out on carbohydrate-containing food to measure their impact on our blood sugar), which is important in the diabetic market .Growing consumer awarenessregarding the value of low glycemic diet drives the market for stevia. Growing consumer preferences for all-natural products and increasing incidences of obesity and diabetesdrive demand for stevia. Due to its growing popularity as 100% natural sweetener, Stevia is edging over other high-intensity sweeteners such as aspartame, saccharin, and sucralose. According to estimates from theWorld Health Organization WHO, stevia is expected to replace 20-30% of all dietary sweeteners in future.

Cardiovascular market is witnessing high growth rate due to increasing prevalence of heart diseases and improvement of healthcare facilities across the globe. Heart block also termed as atrioventricular (AV) block refers to a condition, in which the electric signals that regulate the heartbeat are moderately or absolutely blocked from reaching the ventricles. On the basis of criticality, heart blocks can be classified into three degrees. First degree heart block involves partially slowed electric signals while passing from atria to ventricle. This stage does not causes much significant symptoms hence do not require treatment. Second degree heart block involves significantly slowed electric signals from atria to ventricle. This affects the proper working of heart. This type of condition is more common in people suffering from certain heart diseases; for instance heart failure. Third degree heart blocks result in complete blockage of signals from passing from atria to ventricle. Condition in which heart block is present in a person right from the birth, due to some defect or genetic condition, is termed as congenital heart block. Heart block may also be caused by some other conditions such as heart attack, some infections such as diphtheria, medicinal reactions and others. Various devices that can be used to treat heart blocks include pacemaker, which uses electric signals to regulate heart beat at a standard rate.
