The women’s health issues are mainly increasing in emerging countries and need to be addressed by attention from caregivers. Thus, rehabilitation is essential for women to live a healthier life. 

Rising awareness toward reducing greenhouse emissions in the manufacturing sector is expected to play a crucial role in shrinking the market for synthetic-based chemicals. As a result, manufacturing units operating in the automotive, construction, packaging, and electronics sectors are expected to promote the usage of biopolymers including bio-based PET over the forecast period.

Carbon dioxide is an odorless and colorless gas. The gas is a naturally occurring chemical which is usually released by the actions of nature including hot geysers & springs, and volcanoes. Carbon dioxide is soluble in water and is also present in various water bodies including groundwater, ice caps, lakes, seawater and glaciers and rivers.

Globally, around 5.5. billions of gallons of glycols are produced every year and are growing at the rate of approximately 200 million gallons per year. North America consumes a fifth of the total production. Increasing demand from end-use industries, mainly for manufacturing polyester fabric and plastic bottles is boosting production of diols in the world.

Medical equipment sterilization is one of the most significant procedures in hospitals, laboratories, and other medical institutions. Hospitals are quite prone to various microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses that can cause serious health complications to patients. With usage of non-sterilized instruments, there is a very high chance of transmission of a disease from one patient to another, leading to various hospital-acquired infections.

Dialysis has been used since the late 1800s to help patients recycle the waste produced, thereby prolonging their lives. Since then, it has witnessed rapid advancements in technologies. However, it has been observed that there is higher market share for hemodialysis over peritoneal dialysis constantly.

According to research data & statistics, approximately 57% of new app developers are struggling to make an impact on the market. 

Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM) is used to reduce the morbidity during operative manipulations. It detects changes in the spine, brain, & peripheral nerves, which can be avoided before the damage is irreversible. It is also used for localizing anatomical structures aiding the dissection. Surgeons are trained to incorporate IONM in their procedures. Technologists also assist neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons during the surgeries.

Rising hospital-acquired infection is the major reason for mortality and morbidity in the developed nations. It was observed that the incidence of patient-to-patient cross-contamination is greater via use of 12-lead systems due to outbreak of Serratia marcescens bacteria in patients after cardiac surgery. The use of disposable lead wires (LWs) has a direct impact on the cost reduction associated with cross-contamination as compared to reusable LWs.

The tracking systems can be used for tracking medical devices, surgical instruments, and other surgical tools to ensure patient safety and inventory management. The number of retained surgical instrument cases is growing worldwide. There are different instruments such as needles, safety pins, knife blades, scalpels, scissors, and forceps that are left behind in a patient’s body during a surgery.

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.
