Cancer is a disease caused due to abnormal growth of cells. It leads to uncontrolled multiplication of cells into other tissues. Cancer cells can spread to other parts of the body through lymph and blood system. There are various types of cancers such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer, skin cancer and lymphoma. Globally, it is the leading cause of deaths. Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women. According to World Health Organization (WHO) in 2012, approximately 8.2 million people died due to cancer. Similarly, according to American Cancer Society more than one million people suffer with cancer every year. Most cases of cancer are diagnosed and detected after a tumor is visible or felt. Tissue diagnostic plays crucial role for diagnosis, monitoring and management of cancer disease. Tissue diagnostics is also used for the diagnosis of next generation sequencing, decoding cancer molecular profiles and circulating tumor cells. Tissue diagnosis is done by fine needle aspiration cytology, open biopsy and core biopsy. The degree to which cancer has invaded the healthy tissue, stage and type of cancer can be determined with the help of biopsy. It helps to analyze the biopsy at molecular level to determine the course of treatment. Tissue diagnostics is used by pharmaceutical companies, contract research organizations, research laboratories and hospitals for the diagnosis of cancer. Some of the major tissue diagnostic tests are immunohistocheistry (IHC), hexatoxylin & eosin (H&E) and in situ hybridization (ISH).

Automation and control system is integration of IT technology with mechanical systems. These systems are used for reliable and standardize production system. Reductions of waste, effortlessness monitoring and packaging and speed production are some of the advantages of automated and control system. In automation various devices and instruments are attached with IT systems for improved results in automation. It is offering customers with improved quality with standardization and dependable products within the time and at inexpensive cost. Several steps are necessary for new production and development of active pharmaceutical ingredient products. In addition, production requirements in pharmaceutical industry are increasing day by day. In pharmaceutical and biotech industry automation and control systems are mainly used for manufacturing and packaging, to provide high product quality. It also helps the pharmaceutical and biotech industry by saving energy and improving efficiency in manufacturing and packaging.

Scar is a mark on the skin which appears due to damage of skin. Some of the major causes of scarring are infections, injuries, surgery, inflammation of tissue, acne and others. Technological advancements in scar treatment rise in research and development activities, increasing consumer disposable income and growing consciousness about appearance are the main driving forces for the growth of scar treatment market. On the basis of type of scar, scar treatment market can be segmented into burn scars, post-surgical scars and others. Burn scars are also known as hypertrophic scars. Post-surgical scars treatment varies with the degree of scaring. On the basis of product, scar treatment market can be segmented into gels, oils, creams and sprays. On the basis of treatment, scar treatment market can be segmented into invasive surgical treatment, elastic wraps, gel sheets and laser treatment. Scar treatment products are the alternatives to invasive surgical treatments. Scar treatment can remove the scars which are caused by surgeries such as appendectomy and by aesthetic reasons such as reduction in the appearance of acne scars. Some scars are hypersensitive and have low ability to remove.

Wound refers to a physical injury leading to disruption of normal structure of cells or tissues. Wound management technologies refer to the different technologies that are applied for proper management of that wound. It is done to promote healing and prevent further complications linked with wound. Wound management technologies market is driven by growing prevalence of chronic wounds. On the basis of different wound care therapies, wound management technologies market can be segmented into traditional wound care and advanced wound care. Traditional wound care technologies consists of absorptive dressings, composite dressings, gauze dressings, compression therapy and contact layers. Whereas, market for advanced wound care segment can be segmented into moist wound care, wound care devices and wound care biologics. Moist wound care technology consists of foam dressings, hydrocolloid dressings, alginate dressings and hydrogel dressings. Wound care devices consist of ultrasound devices, wound closure devices and negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT). Wound care biologics segment consists of cell based therapeutics, collagen based therapeutics and skin replacement therapeutics.

Medical tapes, also called as surgical tapes, refer to the pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes that are used in wound management. Medical tapes hold the bandage or other dressing in a correct position over wound. Medical tapes have hypoallergenic adhesive which holds the medical tape firmly over skin. These tapes allow air to pass through them, thus do not cause any damage to skin. On the basis of adhesiveness, medical tapes market can be classified into single sided medical tapes and double sided medical tapes.

Color cosmetics are personal care products that help to enhance the appearance of the human body. Color cosmetics refer to the colorants and cosmetic ingredients used for make-up, skin care, personal hygiene, hair care, fragrance and oral care. Color cosmetics include products such as foundations, eye shadows, nail paints, powders, lipsticks, concealers, bronzers and other. On the basis of type of product, color cosmetics market can be segmented into face, eye, lip and nail and others.

Personal care products are composed of specialty ingredients. Specialty ingredients are classified into inactive ingredients and active ingredients. Inactive ingredients include preservatives, surfactants, polymers and colorants. Active ingredients comprise conditioning agents, UV ingredients and anti-aging materials.

In-vitro diagnostics market is growing a significant rate due to increase in the number of disease cases, rise in aged population and improvement in the healthcare facilities. Laboratory developed tests (LTDs) refer to the specific tests that are developed and marketed only to specific types of laboratories. These tests are developed, evaluated and validated only for particular laboratories. Many laboratories use laboratory developed tests due to non-availability of commercial tests for particular processes. Laboratory-developed testing market is driven by increasing number of laboratories that require specific kind of laboratory testing procedures.

Elder care service, also known as elderly care service, is the fulfillment of the special needs and requirements that are unique for older people. Major services assisted to older people include home care services, institutional care, adult day care, nursing home services, long term care and hospice care.

Electrophysiology is the branch of science which deals with the study of electric activity in the human body. It also involves in study of the production of electrical activity and the effects of that electrical activity on the body. Electrophysiology measures electric current on a wide variety of scales from single ion channel proteins to whole organs of the body. In neuroscience, it measures the electrical activity of neurons.
