Life science is the field of science that deals with the study of variety of living organisms, such as, plants, animals, human beings and microorganisms. Life sciences is also considered as a multidisciplinary scientific and research field as it comprises of a wide number of fields of study, such as molecular biology, genetics, biotechnology, cell biology, biochemistry, biomedicine etc. Some of the major life sciences tools include, instruments, reagents, consumables and services that are offered to various academic, medical, scientific and research professionals worldwide.

Cosmetic surgery is a kind of plastic surgery that aims to improve or enhance the aesthetic appearance of an individual. Cosmetic surgery can be performed on any part of the body, neck and face. Cosmetic surgery products are manufactured by using natural ingredients, chemicals and minerals. Technological advancement in the manufacturing of cosmetic surgery products is one of the driving factors for the cosmetic surgery products market. However, the economic improvement in the emerging countries such as China, India, Brazil and Dubai has further increased the utilization of cosmetic surgery products, as consumers have more disposable income.

An active optical cable is a wiring technology which accepts the same electrical inputs as a conventional copper cable, but makes use of optical fiber between the connectors. In order to improve the cable’s distance and speed performance without sacrificing its compatibility with standard electrical interfaces, the active optical cable uses electrical to optical conversion on the cable ends. The active optical cables market is largely driven by the rise in the processor speeds, growing demand for higher bandwidth speeds. Additionally, the advancements in fiber optics technology are also contributing to the growth of active optical cables market. Moreover, copper connectivity faces some limitations such as low bandwidth, optical fibers are being preferred. As new consumer bandwidth demands up to 20 GB per second, consumers are now demanding smaller cables and innovative footprints. Optical fibers are thinner, longer, lighter and stronger in comparison with copper cables.

Packaging is one of the main selling factors of cosmetics, and companies look to innovate and improvise their packaging in order to improve aesthetics of the product to boost sales. Cosmetics market has traditionally been driven by fashion trends and market innovations rendering it susceptible to the rapid rate of change in customer preferences. This poses a challenge for the cosmetics packaging companies as the demand for new product is high, while resources remain constant. Plastic is the most used packaging material for cosmetics, accounting for more than 50% of the total demand for cosmetic packaging. Glass, metal, and paper are the other packaging materials that are used in the application.

Ammonium sulfate is an inorganic salt which occurs naturally in volcanic fumaroles as a rare mineral, mascagnite. It is prepared by the treatment of ammonia, often as a by-product from coke-ovens with sulfuric acid. Ammonium sulfate is also produced by gypsum which is treated with ammonium carbonate solution to give the precipitate of calcium carbonate leaving ammonium sulfate in the solution. It has high sulfur content in the sulfate form, making it easily absorbable by plants, and low pH making it suitable for alkaline soils. It is consumed in a wide range of applications such as fertilizers for alkaline soils, purifying protein, flame retardants, food additives, and for the preparation of ammonium salts such as ammonium persulfate. Ammonium sulfate is one of the most extensively consumed nitrogen fertilizers for crop production, which is considered valuable where both nitrogen and sulfur are required on account of its high solubility providing versatility to various agricultural applications. Small amounts of ammonium sulfate are also used in applications such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals and cattle feed supplements.

The word aesthetic is used in reference of beauty or pleasing appearance and is derived from the Greek word aisthetikos which means esthetic, sense and sentient. Growing aesthetic consciousness among people, especially elderly population, is creating the demand for various devices being utilized in aesthetic procedures. Hair replacement, liposuction, skin rejuvenation, body lift, bra line back lift, tummy tuck, thigh lift, breast augmentation, eyelid surgery, face lift surgery, brow lifts and chin surgery are some major aesthetic procedures being carried out globally. Aesthetic procedures are performed in order to enhance appearance and self-esteem of individuals with positive attitude and this garners immense confidence in people. Dermal fillers, light emitting diodes, dermal lasers, microdermal abraders, intense pulsed light devices and energy based devices are among the major equipment used in aesthetic procedures.

Delirium is a serious mental disorder, which can cause two most common type of behaviors, namely, hyperactive behavior, which is characterized by severe confusion, disorientation and disturbance in consciousness that fluctuates and hypoactive behavior, which is characterized by the sudden onset of withdrawal from interaction with the outside world. This serious mental disorder is mainly caused due to physical or mental illnesses, which is temporary and reversible in most of the cases. Major symptoms include clouding of consciousness, disorientation of thoughts, illusions, hallucinations, fluctuating levels of consciousness, dysphasia, dysarthria, tremors, asterixis in hepatic encephalopathy and uremia. Some major factors that cause delirium are withdrawal from alcohol or sedatives, drug abuse, chemical disturbances within the body, infections, strokes, dementia, poisoning and surgeries.

Neonatal care equipment are usually provided to preterm infants or newborn infants (upto 28 days) whose medical conditions are severe. Neonatal care equipment helps to supply oxygen, provide heat (in case of excessive heat loss) and help in monitoring vital parameters. Blood pressure monitors, cardiopulmonary monitors, bililights, endotracheal tube, incubators, nasal cannula, pulse oximeter, radiant warmer and ventilators are some of the neonatal care equipment.
