Hospital acquired infections (HAIs) or nosocominal infections refer to the infections that are developed and affect patients during their hospitalization. HAIs control focuses on preventing, sterilization, cleaning, testing and treating infections occurring in the hospital’s environment. HAIs control is an important step in hospital management. This is due to the fact that hospitalized patients have weak immune system and they can easily get infected by any of the microbes such as bacteria, virus and fungus and other less common type of pathogens causing HAIs. Also, use of non-sterilized injection equipment and other medical devices, contaminated air, water, food and medicines, reuse of disposable equipments, dirty wards and no proper biomedical waste management causes infections to patients and healthcare workers in the hospital. Nosocominal infections are also one of the leading causes of death among hospitalized patients. Some of the most common types of infections are bloodstream infection (BSI), pneumonia, surgical site infection (SSI), lower respiratory infections, gastrointestinal tract, central nervous system, traumatic wounds and burn infections, primary bacteremia and urinary tract infection (UTI). Burn units, emergency departments and intensive care units are the major infection risk areas in the hospitals. Understaffing and low levels of staff attentiveness and knowledge are some of the key factors that lead to poor infection control.

Whole exome sequencing is a technique used for strategically sequencing all the protein coding genes in a genome known as exon. There are around 1, 80,000 exons, which constitute about 1% of the human genome. Whole exome sequencing is widely used for identifying genetic variants responsible for diseases such as Miller Syndrome and Alzheimer’s disease. Low cost associated with the whole exome sequencing, as compared to the whole genome sequencing. The whole exome sequencing market is segmented on the basis of products and services into kits, systems and services. The whole exome sequencing market is segmented on the basis of application into personalized medicine, diagnostics, drug discovery and others. The whole exome sequencing market is segmented on the basis of end-user into hospitals and clinics, research centers, pharmaceuticals companies and others.

Food enzymes are biocatalysts, sourced from plants, animals or micro-organisms used to alter the speed of biochemical reactions in foods and beverages. Food enzymes are generally used as food additives to enhance digestibility, texture and shelf life of food and beverages. It has wide application in meat processing, dairy industries, alcoholic beverages, and manufacturing of pre-digested foods. Food enzymes are also used as natural fermentation agent (breaking of large sized molecule of carbohydrates fats and proteins) in various amino-acids and specialty foods.

Cold chain involves proper logistic planning of temperature sensitive products through thermal and refrigerated packaging methods. The application of cold chain is mainly applied to chilled and frozen foods to increase their self-life and maintain quality standard for long duration of time. Cold chain specifically helps in maintaining the bio-chemical and physical properties of the frozen foods and regulating market price in off-season. It also helps to prevent the product from loss and reduce the waste, which ultimately increases the overall income of manufacturer or producer.

A backhoe loader is a type of construction equipment, also called loader backhoe or digger. A backhoe loader is a heavy equipment vehicle that consists of a tractor like unit fitted with a shovel on the front, and a backhoe at the back. A Backhoe loaders are the most heavily used loaders in large, medium, and small scale construction projects because of their versatility and small size.
