Medical laser technology generates a specific wavelength and strong beam of light. It is used in applications such as cosmetic, diagnostic, surgical, and therapeutic. Besides, the technology is used in various areas such as ophthalmology, dermatology, urology, and cardiovascular diseases. Increasing eye related diseases and rising aging population are some of the major factors driving the growth of the global medical laser technology market.

Blood disorders are caused due to lack of blood components. These components include red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Anemia, leucopenia, and thrombocytopenia are some of the common blood disorders. Some of the common symptoms of blood diseases include fatigue, headache, weakness, fever, infections, and bleeding. Acquired orphan blood disease is a type of rare blood disorder, which occurs due to the presence of insufficient amount of red blood cells in the blood. This disease is characterized by the body’s inability to produce red blood cells. Moreover, improper functioning of bone marrow also leads to lack of red blood cells in blood, which in turn results in a decrease in platelet numbers. This decrease in platelet...

Human augmentation, also known as Human 2.0, refers to technologies that are used for bringing physical improvement in the integral parts of the human body. Technological advancements in IT have led to the introduction of a greater variety of implants and other technologies, which are used for human augmentation. In addition, genetic engineered human technologies also play an important role in the treatment of various diseases and disabilities.  

Medical implants are artificial devices or tissues, which are used to replace damaged biological structures or enhance an existing biological structure. Some of the implants are made from skin, bone, or other body tissues. Others are made from metal, plastic, or ceramic materials. Medical implants can be permanent or can be taken out when they are no longer needed. There are some risks and complications associated with medical implantation, such as infections, surgical risks, and implant failure. Medical implants are used in areas such as cardiovascular, orthopedic, neurological disorders, dental, and others. Rising aging population and increasing prevalence of chronic diseases are some of the major driving factors for the medical...

Dental imaging is a process of creation of a high quality images for the diagnosis of dental problems. Dental imaging technologies help dentists to diagnose dental diseases by providing actual and visual images of the dental problems such as hidden dental structure, cavities, bone loss, and oral malignant melanoma. Radiography is a valuable imaging modality and diagnostic tool that helps in clinical examination of dental problems. Radiographs are developed with image sensor technologies such as Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), panoramic, cephalometric, and intra-oral dental imaging. Dental cone beam computed tomography is a special type of X-ray machine, which is used instead of regular dental or facial X-rays. Technological...

Medical document management systems eliminate paper-based processes in health care organizations. These systems manage patient information and allow clinicians and administrators make well-informed decisions in treatment and hospitalization procedures. In addition, medical document management systems help health care organizations to automate admission forms, insurance cards, insurance claims, invoices, and laboratory results.  

Molecular weight markers are used to calculate sample molecular weights in the medical research arena. In addition, these markers play a vital role in the monitoring of the progress of an electrophoretic run in separation and analysis of macromolecules. Molecular weight markers include RNA, DNA, and protein markers. 

Crohn’s disease refers to long term inflammatory bowel disease, which causes inflammation of the lining of the digestive tract. It affects the large and small intestine and is generally diagnosed in persons within the age group of 20-29. It can have severe or acute outcomes. Signs and symptoms of Crohn’s disease develop slowly and gradually. Some of the common symptoms of this disease include abdominal pain and cramping, fever, fatigue, diarrhea, blood in stools, appetite and weight loss. Inflammation of skin, joints, and eyes, inflammation of the liver or bile duct, and delayed sexual development in children are some other symptoms associated with severe Crohn’s disease. 

Artificial organs, as the name suggests, are unnatural devices or machines that replace various human organs, which suffer from malfunctioning or the loss of entire functioning ability. Usually formed from the respective human’s stem cells and later grown in laboratories, artificial organs have been changing the face of the medical world since the past few decades. However, innovation and developments of new artificial organs are still progressing, offering an optimistic growth prospects to the global artificial organs market in the near future.

Patient handling comprises the lifting, lowering, holding, pushing, or pulling of patients. Patient handling equipments are mobility, disability, and rehabilitation equipments specifically designed to provide comfort and quality of sleep to hospitalized patients and cater to their other healthcare needs. These medical equipment provide flexibility and relaxation to the patient. The increasing prevalence of lifestyle diseases and the growing elderly population are the major driving factors for the patient handling equipments market in Europe. Healthcare organizations are increasing the adoption of patient handling equipment to avoid the injuries often caused by manual handling. Patient handling tasks includes transferring, lifting, and...
