Human Genetics Industry: New Innovation & Perception
Human genetics includes study of the inheritance in humans. Human genetics is broad sector which include various sub-sectors such as cytogenetics, molecular genetics, biochemistry, linical genetics, and genetic counseling and others. These sectors helps in understanding the concepts of gene structure and organization, expression of gene, detection of mutation and its analysis, linkage analysis and genetic mapping, and physical mapping among others. The study of human genetics allows to understand genetically of complexes in a diseases and epistatic interactions such as ethical, legal and social issues.
Technological Advancements in Digital Pathology
The advancement is the field of the healthcare industry is driving to the players for more research and developments for the imaging devices and the required software for the digital pathology devices. The advanced systems helps labs and hospitals to add value to the testing services as this improves the performance to influence information technology. The advanced health information technology can be deployed within pathology labs and pathology groups specifically to meet the change of patient expectations, along with this it supports the needs of physicians for optimal workflow. For instance, Aperio ePathAccess of the Leica Biosystems is software which enables sharing of the digital pathology images and case data with the experts...
Explore the Potential of Teledentistry
Oral diseases cause a major burden for various countries and affect the people throughout their lifetime by causing pain, discomfort, and disfigurement. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), oral diseases have affected approximately 3.5 billion people globally in 2020. Moreover, the WHO stated that over 530 million children worldwide suffer from dental caries. Furthermore, according to the International Journal of Health Sciences, periodontal diseases affect approximately 20–30% of population in the developed and developing nations worldwide. According to the FDI World Dental Federation, approximately 2.3 billion people suffer from dental caries of permanent teeth across the world. The treatment for oral diseases...
Dialysis Catheters: To Surge In The Near Future
Dialysis catheters are special tunnel-type catheters as they are placed under the skin. These catheters are usually of two types that include cuffed and non-cuffed. Non-cuffed tunneled catheters are generally used for emergencies and for short periods. These catheters are artificial indwelling transcutaneous conduits that are used for accessing the intravascular space during renal replacement therapy.
Considerations with Health and Wellness Supplements
Dietary supplements were available to people for the first time in the 1940s. People lined up at what was then the ‘drug store’ to get their supplies of what deemed the ‘super pills’ boasting to improve health and wellness. That same philosophy carries over to today.
DNA Analysis in the Government Sector
DNA analysis is a forensic technique employed to identify individuals by characteristics of their DNA. It can be used to identify individuals in paternity testing, criminal investigations, disaster victim identification, archaeological research, and determining genetic links to diseases. In forensic DNA analysis, DNA is collected from blood, semen, vaginal fluid, nasal secretions, and hair with roots.
Breakthrough In Hemophilia Treatment
Hemophilia is a condition where blood does not clot, and this condition is normally inherited. The condition is caused due to defects in a gene of the X chromosome, which is a clotting factor. Generally, the diseases are widely seen in males as the X chromosome is inherited from mother to baby boy. The disease is widely treated with replacement therapy and gene therapy. The other treatment which is used is medication. However, there are ways to reduce the risk of the condition, which include regular exercise and others. The condition can be prevented by taking preventive treatment by injection of clotting factor VIII for hemophilia A, or IX for hemophilia B.
Troubleshooting Complications of Vascular Access Devices
The use of intravascular (IV) drugs and fluids has increased significantly in the past three decades due to their proven effectiveness in treating a wide array of diseases. This treatment modality necessitates long-term use of vascular access devices (VADs); however, maintaining vascular access throughout the course of treatment can be a challenge. Serious complications may develop or treatment delayed if vascular access cannot be maintained. Phlebitis and extravasation are other potential complications when smaller, more fragile blood vessels are used. Treatment often becomes a painful, dreaded ordeal especially for patients with limited or damaged blood vessels.
Vascular Bypass Revolution
A vascular bypass is a surgical procedure performed to redirect blood flow from one area to another by reconnecting blood vessels. Often, this is done to bypass around a diseased artery, from an area of normal blood flow to another relatively normal area. The other end is attached to an artery in your lower leg. The blood now flows through the graft, instead of through the section of the artery that was narrow or blocked. Improving the blood flow to your foot can relieve pain and help to heal any open areas (ulcers) on your foot. This surgery usually takes 3 to 4 hours.
Genetic Modification Therapies – Clinical Applications & Technology Platforms
Genetic modification therapies are changing the landscape of medicine. These advanced therapies have the unprecedented ability to offer a one-time cure for severe, debilitating diseases that were previously untreatable. BCC Research found that this industry is segmented by technology platform, delivery method (viral versus nonviral), and clinical application. This specialization enables companies to build significant barriers to entry and competitive advantage.
