Superdisintegrants are added to drug formulation in order to facilitate the dissolution of tablet or capsule content into reduced particles. It is usually used in lesser quantities in the solid dosage form, typically ranging from 1-10% by weight, which is relative to the total weight of the dosage unit. Some of the widely used products include crospovidone, croscarmellose sodium and sodium starch glycolate.

Defibrillation is a treatment for ventricular fibrillation and nonperfusion ventricular tachycardia. These episodes can cause Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA). Almost 50.0% of the cardiovascular deaths can be attributed to SCA.Due to imbalance in the electrical system of the heart, the heart rhythm is affected, which leads to arrhythmias. This condition may lead to SCA.

2016 witnessed a continued increase in contract manufacturing operations with an objective to cut back on in-house costs and capacity while maintaining the product quality and timelines. With growing pressure of biopharmaceutical demand and R&D costs, CMOs/CROs have significantly grown to gain ground in biopharmaceutical industry.

“Regenerative medicine” is an emerging scientific and medical field that offers therapies to treat diseases by regaining and/or restoring structure and function of damaged organs, tissues and cells. These medicines regenerate body’s ability to restore the functions and structure as a part or whole treatment protocol. Strong pipeline of products for the treatment of cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, oncology, and rare genetic disorders exists. Ability to cure the incurable diseases reflects high market potential over the coming years.

Plasma-rich platelet (PRP) treatment is being highly touted as one of the most successful procedures for management of orthopedic diseases and sports injuries. Adoption of this therapy is now gaining momentum as it is becoming the preferred choice of treatment for reducing wrinkles, scars, or even dark circles, owing to the treatment’s benefits.

In the current scenario, technological advancement in large-scale downstream bioprocessing systems is an ever-increasing trend in biotechnology. Popularity of single-use bioprocessing instruments, advancements in existing separation & purification techniques are expected to drive growth in the near future. 

Point of Care (POC) diagnostics are tests that are designed to be used near the patient site which do not require a dedicated permanent area and are conducted outside clinical spaces. The major drivers of this market include increased aging population, immediate test results and rising market penetration of EMR (Electronic Medical Records) and PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication Systems). Additionally, shortage of skilled staff at the diagnostics facilities is expected to aid POC market penetration and positioning. Out-care patient model which is an initiative taken by the governments to reduce stay in the hospitals along with homecare and other health care facilities are expected to help in promoting POC diagnostics. POC diagnostics have initiated a decentralized trend in the healthcare industry which facilitates patients to be catered at remote locations, get early diagnostics and reduce costs.

The microscopes market has been witnessing considerable demand due to rise in funding in emerging applications such as nanotechnology. A major driver for this market includes research and development in the field of nanotechnology in order to commercialize it, since nanotechnology has a variety of niche applications. Additionally, microscopes are used in semiconductors, life sciences and material sciences. Drivers for the market include research and development for advanced microscopes used in life sciences and the growing semiconductor market in the Asian and Latin American regions.

Excipients are common ingredients used in pharmaceutical formulations. They are added to active pharmaceutical ingredients either to bulk up the formulation, mask the taste, or enhance bioavailability of the formulation. They can be added to all forms of drugs, solid oral or liquid oral, and to formulations through various routes of administration. They can also influence drug delivery mechanisms.

Behavioral illness can be diagnosed by monitoring thoughts (abnormal), behavior, or feelings for a specific amount of time, which result in distress or other types of emotional and physical impairment. Depression and anxiety disorders are few of the leading causes of mental illness globally, hence, increasing the need for development of innovative therapies and medications in the near future.

The word “catheter” originates from a Greek word and it means to “to let or send down”. Urinary catheters have been in use since 3000 B.C. to relieve pain from urinary retention. Urinary catheters have wide application in cases where a patient is unable to empty the bladder and the functioning of the bladder is impaired.

The Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) market has been in existence since 2001 when the first device was introduced in August by Medtronic Plc.
