Transparency Market Research Report Add "Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Market (Refinery, Associated Gas and Non-Associated Gas) for Residential/Commercial, Chemical, Industrial, Auto Fuel, Refineries and Other Applications - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2012 - 2018" to its database.

Musculoskeletal diseases/disorders (MSDs) are diseases of muscles and related ligaments, and other connective tissues and bones. Some of the most common musculoskeletal diseases are back pain, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, septic arthritis, gout, myasthenia gravis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and some others. Musculoskeletal diseases are the prime cause of short term disability and chronic disability in this generation. MSDs are mostly caused because of the over-use of weak muscles, tendons, or ligaments. Vigorous vocational activities can cause musculoskeletal pain. In addition, as the population ages, the prevalence of conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and degenerative disc diseases increase. Unattended MSDs lead to chronic disruption of the day-to-day and vocational activities of the patient.

The market is expected to exhibit high growth in developed economies such as the U.S. and Europe over the forecast period. The rapid increase in the number of patients suffering from depression is expected to be one of the main driving forces for the estimated growth, which can be attributed to elevating stress levels, unhealthy lifestyle, and social imbalances. In the U.S. and Europe, various regulations pertaining to drug approval and patents, as well as commercial issues, such as restriction on the sale of antidepressants without prescription are the major restraints which are expected to negatively impact market growth. Rise in various medical disorders due to increase in stress levels and unhealthy lifestyle in Asia Pacific and the Middle East is expected to lead to market expansion.

Antipsychotics are drugs used in the treatment of brain disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and severe depression. According to the New York Times, antipsychotics are one of the largest types of prescribed drugs in the United States with over 3.1 million Americans accounting for a market worth USD 18 billion in 2011 itself. Global estimates suggest that over 1.25% of the global population suffers from psychosis and related disorders.

Adjuvant oncology treatment comprises of a class of cancer therapeutics which is followed after primary cancer treatment, to minimize the risk of reoccurrence of cancer. The major forms of adjuvant therapy are radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, biological therapy, and targeted therapy. Before deciding the adjuvant therapy to be used, statistical evidence is used by oncologists for the assessment of risk of disease relapse.

Anti-infective agents are drugs used for the purpose of killing and/or suppressing the infection causing organisms from invading the host organism by means of its replication or releasing variety of toxins in the host. Such infection causing micro-organisms include viruses, bacteria, fungi, viroids and macro parasites. Infections thus caused can be classified depending on the type of organism causing infection and the symptoms and medical signs shown by host.

Injectable drug delivery is defined as introduction of a drug or drugs in the patient by using a delivery device. Injectables allow the transport of drugs formulated in liquid form, directly in the body. Even though, they may be designed to transport the drug to specific part of the body. Such drug delivery technology by the use of injections is majorly segmented into devices and formulations, and is commonly categorized as follows:

Interventional radiology involves the use of minimally invasive procedures in the diagnosis (example: angiograms) and treatment (example: angioplasties) of various medical conditions. These procedures are performed with the aid of image guidance systems. Interventional radiology includes various processes such as biopsies, cancerous/non-cancerous tumor removal and intravascular procedures. Interventional radiology systems offer best image quality and high efficacy for various diagnostic and treatment procedures. The Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) based in the U.S. is witnessing a steady growth in the memberships worldwide. At present, there are more than 4000 members worldwide. The major types of interventional radiological procedures in practice are angioplasty, venous access, biopsy, fibroid embolization, stents, arteriogram and embolization. Image-guided interventional radiology systems assist radiologists to conduct efficient and minimally invasive surgeries with the help of guide wires, catheters and stents.

Ubiquitin Proteasome drugs are globally used for the treatment of various types of cancer. Changing technologies in every field is the main reason for driving the market for these drugs. As new technology arrives, new and efficient ways of producing drugs are also encountered. The global market for Ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) is experiencing steady growth for the last few years, mainly due to technological advancements in the global pharmaceutical industry. The recent evidences of a cure for cancer-like-diseases by the use of these drugs has led many researchers in bringing more efficiency in various processes and activities carried out in the UPS to produce more effective drugs.

An anti-peptic ulcer drug is a class of drugs used for the treatment of most common ulcers in stomach and upper part of small intestine. These drugs act by decreasing the levels of gastric acidity or by enhancing the protection for mucosa. Major causes of peptic ulcer are Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection or due to long-term use of drugs such as aspirin, ibuprofen and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
