Acne is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease and perceived as a self-limited disease in adolescence. The start of acne vulgaris differs within the age groups and it more prevalent during the onset of puberty. This can continue to be a problem as its prevalence remains high in adulthood. Acne vulgaris in the teenagers is leading to depression and diminishing the quality of life. The beginning of acne vulgaris is complex and incompletely understood. A variety of factors increase the risk for acne vulgaris, out of which the four main factors that are responsible for the active acne lesions are excessive sebum production, bacterial growth and colonization, sloughing of keratinocytes and inflammation and immune system response.According to an article published in British Medical Journal, almost 90% of the teenagers affected by acne and around 50% of them continue to experience symptoms as adults. In addition, it is noticed that by age of 40 years, 1% of men, and 5% of women still had lesions formed because of acne.

Live cell imaging is the use of time lapse microscopy to study the living cells. The scientists use it to get a better understanding of the biological functions with the help of cellular dynamics. The live cell imaging technique is becoming increasingly popular in the healthcare industry.

Hormones are natural substances made by our glands in our body and the network of glands that make hormones is termed as endocrine systems. These hormones are carried through bloodstream and act as a messenger between one part to another part of our body. Hormone therapy is one of the major modalities of medical treatment for cancers which involves manipulation of the endocrine systems through exogenous administration of steroid hormones or drugs inhibiting or interrupting activities of specific hormones. Surgical removal of certain endocrine organs for instance oophorectomy can also be employed as a part of hormone therapy. In hormone therapy physician generally start with hormone receptor test that let caregivers to measure amount of cancer proteins or hormone receptors within a cancer tissue. By estimating the amount of hormones such as estrogen or progesterone the test either can be positive or negative. A positive test indicates growth of cancer cells with the help of hormones. In such cases physician divert the hormone therapy by blocking the interaction of hormones with the hormone receptor. Alternatively, in case of negative hormone receptor test which signifies null effect of hormones in growth and development of cancer cells other effective treatments can be rendered to cure cancer.

The capability of our body cells to cease blood loss following a vascular injury by forming blood clot is vital to sustain health. Coagulation or clotting is the process of converting the liquid blood into a gel like clot to cease bleeding. A number of coagulation or clotting factors are involved in the route that leads to the physiological procedure called hemostasis. Hemostasis is the mechanism of clotting involving activation, adhesion, and aggregation of platelets mediated by a number of clotting factors eventually leading to repairing of the injured tissue. Any problem or absence of any of these factors can potentially lead to a rare but serious blood clotting disease and excessive bleeding. Some of the major coagulation factor disorders are the hemophilias and Von Willebrand disease.

Urine sediment analysis is a method to predict the health status of renal and genitourinary functions. Urine analysis is one of the most commonly performed diagnostic procedure in clinical practices to detect the presence of chronic diseases. Urine sediment refers to substances such as bacteria, mucus, salt (calcium oxalate), calcium carbonate, magnesium phosphate and calcium phosphate, protein, and amino acid. The urine sediment can be obtained by centrifuging the urine sample using centrifuge equipment. Diverse medical conditions diagnosed with the help of urine sediment analysis are urinary tract infections, presence of kidney stones, and other metabolic disorders such as diabetes. Conventional urine sediment analysis methods such as analysis under coverslip or in a chamber are hectic, uncertain, and time consuming procedures. Moreover, manual urine analysis requires well-trained and experienced staff. The automation of technology in the urine sediment analyzers has helped in the reduction of time and labor required for urine sediment analysis. Image-based automated urine sediment analyzers are able to isolate, identify, and characterize particles on the screen. Hence, the increasing adoption of automatic urine sediment analyzers is propelling the market growth of urine sediment analyzers. Technological innovations are creating new market opportunities for key players. However, high cost of automatic urine sediment analyzers is restricting the growth of the global urine sediment analyzers market.

The inhalation therapy had been practiced by ancient civilizations in Egypt, India, Greece, and China. Proven records of use of the therapy for thousands of years are available. In order to resolve respiratory issues, the pulmonary method of administration has been effective in terms of confined and systemic supply of several drugs and biopharmaceuticals. The only reason for the lack of desired outcome or an unfavorable effect is inappropriate utilization of devices and improper training for handling of devices. At present, inhalation therapy is considered the best solution for lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and cystic fibrosis. The therapy permits the use of smaller doses and reduces systemic side-effects. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is ranked by the World Health Organization (WHO) as one of the most prevalent long-term conditions in the world. The global burden of COPD is projected to rise in the near future, particularly in developing countries, due to increasing elderly population, growing habit of smoking, and rising pollution. Rising incidence of pulmonary diseases across the globe is a major factor fueling the global inhalation systems market.

Pneumonia is a type of lung infection caused by microorganisms such as bacteria, virus, fungi and parasites. Streptococcus pneumonia is one of the most common causes of pneumonia among children, others are Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hob) and Pneumocystis jiroveci. It is characterized by symptoms such as short breathing, fever, chest pain, nausea and vomiting. In pneumonia the air sacs of lungs called as alveoli are filled with fluid or pus that causes inflammation. The treatment of pneumonia depends on severity of symptom and types of pathogens. Usually, antibiotics are given to treat pneumonia caused by bacterial infection while to treat pneumonia caused by fungi, antifungals are prescribed.
