A cereal bar is made up of nuts, oats, sugar, dry fruits, flour, honey, wheat, corn and puffed rice, and rolled in a bar shape. Cereal bars have been originally perceived as an on-the-go breakfast snack item. Cereal bar is also a healthier alternative of chocolate and other snack item. Cereal bar contains high fiber, high protein, low carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, low sodium and antioxidants. Various flavors of cereal bar including chocolate, peanut butter, banana, caramel, banana, honey and strawberry.

Agricultural micronutrients are the essential nutrients that are required to regulate certain physiological activities in crops to enhance their quality and productivity. The deficiency in micronutrients content results in decline in growth rate, yellowing of leaves and withering of buds of the crops. The major agricultural micronutrients include zinc, manganese, boron, copper, molybdenum, and iron.

Advanced glazing system market is expected to see a strong growth in the coming years due to the rising energy prices and uncertainties about future energy supply.

Cancer is a disease characterized by abnormal growth of cell. These abnormal cells can infect other normal cells and tissues. Cancer cells can reach to other part of the body through blood and lymph system. There are more than 100 types of cancer and most of them are categorized by the organ, such as colon cancer and melanoma. Biopsy is a medical test performed to examine and remove cancerous tissue from the body. When a patient is suspected to having cancer, biopsy is used to extract tissues sample for diagnosis of the disease. There are various types of biopsy used in diagnosis of cancers, such as shave biopsy, skin biopsy, incision & excision biopsy, fine needle aspiration, core needle biopsy and vacuum-assisted biopsy. Shave biopsy is performed with a scalpel blade or a curved razor blade to remove small fragment of skin for diagnosis of the disease. Fine needle aspiration biopsy is used to investigate superficial lumps or masses. A fine needle inserted into the body mass for isolation of infected cell and tissues for diagnosis of cancer.

Nutrition is an essential part of the human diet, which helps in proper functioning of all cellular and physiological activities of the body. It provides sufficient amount of protein, vitamins and minerals to maintain energy balance of the body. The clinical nutrition products market is categorized based on various types, such as enteral nutrition, infant nutrition and parenteral nutrition. Enteral nutrition is also known as tube feeding; when a patient is unable to take sufficient amount of nutrition, tube feeding plays an important role in delivering nutrition directly into the stomach of the patient. Infant feeding helps in delivery of nutrition to new born babies. Parenteral nutrition is a method of delivery of nutrition into the body through the veins. Parenteral nutrition provides essential nutrients to patients suffering with cancer, short bowel syndrome and ischemic bowel disease. Nutritional materials, such as titanium and zirconium are essential for proper functioning of the body.

A clinical decision support system is a part of clinical knowledge management technologies. It is an application which is used to analyze data to help healthcare providers make clinical decisions. A clinical decision support system can be used by nurses, physicians and healthcare providers to prepare and review diagnosis for improving final outcomes. These systems are designed to incorporate patient data and medical knowledge base. There are two types of clinical decision support systems, first is knowledge base decision support systems and the other is without knowledge based decision support systems. Knowledge based decision support systems implement rules to patient data with the help of inference engine and demonstrate the results to the end user. Whereas, without knowledge based decision support systems depend on machine learning to analyze the clinical data.

Botanical drugs are those drugs which are derived from medicinal plants. Plant derived drugs are combination of botanical as well as other approved drugs that contains plant materials, synthetic and semi synthetic substances. Botanical drugs consist of vegetable material, algae and macroscopic fungi. They are used in treatment of various diseases, such as central nervous system disorders, cardiovascular diseases, infectious diseases and respiratory diseases. Botanical drugs are available in various forms, such as pills, tablets, capsules and injections. Botanical drugs, such as aescin, adoniside, atropine and berberine, are derived from plants. These drugs are used as an important component of traditional medicine and therapies, such as homeopathy and ayurvedic medicines. Some of the major classes of plant drugs are terpenes, steroids, glycosides and phenols.

Biopharmaceuticals are medicinal drugs produced by using biotechnology methods, such as isolation from living organisms (human, animal and microorganism) and by the use of recombinant DNA technology. Moreover, it is also produced by using transgenic organisms, particularly animals and plant that have been genetically modified to produce drugs.

Bio-microsystem is a group of miniaturized and integrated devices for biological or biochemical reactions in diagnostics, monitoring, therapy, and research and development. Some of the advantages of bio-microsystems are parallelism, integrated intelligence, low cost, speed, complexity and redundancy. Biochip is one of the examples of technical development of bio-microsystem. Biochip is a collection of microarrays arranged on a solid substrate which allows hundreds or thousands of complex biochemical reactions such as decoding genes in few seconds. Biochips are used in variety of applications such as research application in biotechnology such as genomics and proteomics, drug screening and development and molecular diagnostics. It also offers other diagnostic applications such as microfluidic technologies, microarray and biosensors. Biochip is also used to analyze organic molecules associated with living organisms. Biochip helps in identifying gene sequences, airborne toxins, environmental pollutants and other biochemical constituents. There are various types of biochips such as DNA chips, lab-on-a-chip and protein chips. Chip based analysis is mainly used in on-site diagnostics.

Biomarkers are molecular or cellular diagnostic tools, measured in biological samples such as blood, saliva and urine. It is used as an indicator to measure and evaluate biological processes, pharmacological response and pathogenic processes. Some of the major types of biomarkers are prognostic, predictive, pharmacodynamic and efficacy response biomarker. A variety of biomarkers are available for biological systems such as immune system, cardiovascular system and metabolic system. Biomarkers are used to detect, predict disease susceptibility and monitor disease progression for infectious diseases, cancer, metabolic diseases, central nervous system disease and autoimmune diseases. Biomarker technologies have its applications in diagnosis and prognostic treatment for exposure of harmful chemicals, drug formulation and development and increasing implementation in disease diagnosis. Many drugs fail in clinical trials due to metabolism, toxicity, absorption, etc. Biomarkers are special tools usually used in clinical studies to determine the effects and desired results of drug in early stages of development. Biomarkers are cost effective and reliable for developing, monitoring and predicting efficiency of drugs.
