This type of cancer is high among the geriatric population, smokers, those with urinary tract infections, and workers in chemical industries. One of the most important and effective methods of eliminating urinary tract cancer is early diagnosis and studies have shown that nearly 75%-80% of cancer patients survive if the disease is diagnosed at an early stage.

The research suggests that the opportunity of the global parenteral nutrition market will be worth US$6,874.1 mn by the end of 2023 from US$4,097.4 mn in 2014. The market is expected to expand at a steady CAGR of 5.7% from 2015 and 2023. On the other hand, Asia Pacific will the key geographical segment as it will expand at a CAGR of 7.3% in the forecast period due to growing cases of chronic diseases such as cancer and AIDS. The parenteral lipid emulsion nutrient segment will grow at the highest CAGR of 6.2% during the same forecast period, leading the overall nutrient segment.

According to TMR, the global oral contraceptive pills market is expected to be worth US$22.9 bn by 2023. On the basis of type, the position of combination oral contraceptive pill segment remains undisputed and is estimated to be worth US$18 bn by 2023. The segment is also identified as the fastest growing segment within the market. On the basis of category, the generic oral contraceptive pill segment will lead in the market. The segment will also witness highest growth rate in the forecast period, said a TMR analyst. On the basis of geography, North America shall continue to have a dominant hold over the market within the period from 2015 to 2023. However, Asia Pacific will expand at the fastest rate and emerge the most promising regional segment within the oral contraceptive pills market. High population and growing awareness among the people about the availability of oral contraceptive pills as an easy method to control birth will be key reasons behind the growth of this market.

The global market for non-small cell lung cancer therapeutics is expected to be worth US$15.1 bn by 2023. On the basis of geography, Asia Pacific will emerge as the most lucrative regional market on account of growing awareness about cancer and increasing number of government projects supporting lung cancer treatment. On the basis of drugs, the angiogenesis inhibitor segment is estimated to lead on account of the efficacious nature of this drug and rise in the adoption of targeted therapy in the U.S., Japan, and European markets, says TMR. The angiogenesis inhibitor segment is predicted to be worth US$ 2,020.4 mn by 2023.

Smart insulin pens are insulin injection delivery devices that can be connected with computers and smartphone apps. Diabetes management with conventional insulin pens is time consuming and difficult to maintain dosage data. Technological innovations and advancements have brought about major changes in the diabetes management industry in the last decade. Large technological advancements in diabetes management, particularly in connectivity of devices with mobile, smart insulin pens with timing and memory function have greatly improved the quality and efficiency of insulin pens. This connected device helps to track insulin dosage data, send dosage reminders, and manage data. These devices are either connected via standard Bluetooth technology or via USB connection. Manufacturers are focusing on introducing insulin injection pens with smart connectivity. The first generation of smart pens comprised only smart reusable insulin pens. However, several manufacturers are focusing on the development of disposable smart insulin pens.

Influenza, commonly known as flu, is an infectious disease caused by the influenza virus. Three varieties of this virus affect people: type A, type B, and type C. Influenza spreads through infectious respiratory secretions caused by aerosol formation due to direct contact with an infected person. This virus can cause seasonal epidemics with high levels of morbidity and mortality. According to WHO, these epidemics were estimated to result in about 3 to 5 million annual cases of severe illness, and about 250,000 to 500,000 annual deaths worldwide. In 2009, a pandemic of influenza A, which spread quickly to many countries, gained the attention of scientists to focus on better diagnosis of the virus.

According to the research report, the global veterinary ultrasound scanners market is likely to be worth US$179.4 mn by the end of 2025 from US$ 103.0 mn in 2016. During the forecast period of 2017 and 2025, the global market is poised to surge at a CAGR of 6%.

A DNA gene chip, also called as DNA microarray or DNA chip can be resembled with a computer chip. The difference between the two is that a computer chip is composed of electronic circuit whereas a DNA gene chip is composed of DNA molecules. It can also be stated that DNA gene chip is a collection of DNA spots that are embedded on solid surface. A DNA gene chip is about the size of a postage stamp. This technology has become very popular in drug discovery and medical research sector as it significantly brings down research time. DNA gene chip plays a vital role in helping medical researchers to simultaneously measure the expression levels of several thousands of genes. The spiraling popularity of DNA chips has prompted many new players to enter the market and profit from their growing demand. In view of these aspects, the market for DNA gene chips is projected to show double-digit growth during the forecast period. This technology is used to measure the expression levels of thousands of gene together at the same time.

Shahinian cannula (also known as shahinian lacrimal cannula) is an ophthalmic instrument used for irrigation and probing of the lacrimal duct. Irrigation and probing is a procedure used to evaluate the structure and functional status of the lacrimal drainage system. In case of trauma, the procedure is useful to look for the presence of canalicular injury. It is also used for overflow tearing, known as epiphora, due to either overproduction of tears or inadequacy of the lacrimal drainage system. Shahinian cannula is used in lacerations of the canalicular system. Canaliculi are several small ducts in the eye through which the tears drain. Irrigation and probing is performed whenever the analysis of the lacrimal drainage system is indicated.
