As visual impairment and blindness emerge as critical public health issues, a number of healthcare professionals and ophthalmologists are opening up to discussions on these aspects. As the world battles these scenarios, the focus remains on vision quality improvement with minimally-invasive procedures, bringing precise surgical instruments into the spotlight. While a lot is said and done about the surgical instruments used in the field of ophthalmology, improving the efficacy of these instruments remains paramount for manufacturers. In case of surgical instruments such as ophthalmic knives, smooth penetration and accurate incision remains paramount requirements that need be to be addressed.

Red blood cells are broken down in the reticuloendothelial system, primarily the spleen. The dead cells inside the spleen are converted to bilirubin upon removal of iron. This process accounts for about 80% of the bilirubin formed every day inside a human body. The bilirubin is transferred to liver in the form of indirect or unconjugated bilirubin. Conjugated bilirubin is excreted via the biliary system into the intestine, where it is metabolized by bacteria known collectively as stercobilinogen. The body produces bilirubin in the form of unconjugated and conjugated fractions. The bilirubin is elevated in hepatitis, cirrhosis, hemolytic disorders, several inherited enzyme deficiencies, and conditions causing hepatic obstruction. Rise...
Positive end-expiratory pressure valves provide ventilation, wherein airway pressure is maintained above atmospheric pressure at the end of exhalation by means of mechanical impedance. The PEEP valve increases the volume of gas in the lungs at the end of expiration in order to decrease the shunting of blood through the lungs and improve gas exchange. PEEP valves are used along with ventilators for acute respiratory failure syndrome and other respiratory disease patients. The function of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) valves is to provide positive airway pressure to change the blood and fresh inspired gas in the alveoli and the blood of alveolar capillaries. However, new developments in medical device technology for ventilators...
Cryosurgery, also known as cryotherapy, is a medical procedure which uses extreme cold produced by liquid nitrogen (or other gases) to destroy abnormal tissues. Cotton tip applicators and spray devices are used to destroy external tumors, while cryoprobes are widely used to destroy internal tissues. The guidance of MRI or other imaging device is essential to monitor the condition of the tissues. After cryosurgery, the treated tissue thaws, is either absorbed by the body (for internal tumors) or forms scab (for external tumors).
Surgical visualization systems can be defined as devices which provide surgeons with better visualization of the surgical site. These systems include two movable arms and a viewing platform mounted on the distal end of the first moving arm. The camera is configured accordingly to provide a surgical microscopic view of the surgery site which can be viewed by the surgeon at the viewing platform. Additionally, surgical visualization systems include a control system having electronics configured to receive input from the surgeon to adjust the orientation of the camera. Endoscopes are the major products employed for visualization which aid in inspection, examination, diagnosis, and treatment of various gastrointestinal diseases, diseases...
Vitamin D is considered to be a group of fat-soluble secosteroids that aid in increasing the intestinal absorption of calcium, phosphate, and magnesium. The major vitamin D compounds in humans include vitamin D3 (known as cholecalciferol) and vitamin D2 (known as ergocalciferol). Vitamin D deficiency has been one of the common problems in the past few years owing to less exposure to sun, attributed to sedentary lifestyles. Symptoms of vitamin D deficiency include muscle weakness and bone pain. Dietary vitamin D is administered to treat the deficiency. The recommended dosage, according to the Institute of Medicine, is 600 international units (IU) for age group 1 year to 70 years and 800 IU for adults aged over 70 years. Moreover, the...
