  Pneumonia is a type of lung infection caused by microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Streptococcus pneumonia is one of the most common causes of pneumonia among children. Others are Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hob) and Pneumocystis jiroveci. It is characterized by symptoms such as shortness of breath, fever, chest pain, nausea, and vomiting. In pneumonia, the air sacs of the lungs called alveoli are filled with fluid or pus that causes inflammation. The treatment of pneumonia depends on the severity of symptoms and types of pathogens. Usually, antibiotics are given to treat pneumonia caused by bacterial infections. In order to treat pneumonia caused by fungi, antifungals are prescribed. It is quite difficult to diagnose pneumonia as its clinical symptoms overlap with many other diseases such as asthma, bronchitis, and common cold. The global pneumonia testing market is expected to expand significantly due to an increase in the aging population, rece...

  Klebsiella pneumoniae infections are usually hospital acquired and patients with compromised defense mechanisms are more prone to these infections. Klebsiella pneumoniae is a pathogenic strain of genus Klebsiella of Enterobacteriaceae and is present in the normal flora of the respiratory, intestinal, and urinogenital tracts of humans. Although this bacteria is essential for normal bowel health and functioning, serious infection occurs when it gets outside the gut. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 2 million patients suffer from nosocomial infections annually out of which 100,000 people die. Klebsiella pneumonia contributes to 8% of overall nosocomial infections. Normal pneumonia can be resolved effectively with medications, but Klebsiella pneumonia causes lung destruction and abscesses in many cases resulting into higher mortality rate. In Klebsiella pneumonia, the mortality rate is above 50% which increases to 90% in cases which remain ...

  The demand within the global   oxygen therapy devices market   is projected to increase as improved medical procedures make their way into the healthcare industry. Towards the end of last year, a group of high-school students became victims of gas poisoning across a large building in Suwon. The absence of proper medical equipment for oxygen therapy became a matter of regional outrage. In this review, Transparency Market Research (TMR) looks into the stellar need for inducting oxygen therapy chambers across regions, and its successive impact on market growth. Administration of hyperbaric oxygen therapy has become a key concern for the medical fraternity. Regional governments have taken multiple initiatives to improve hyperbaric therapy units in their administrative territories. Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) recently joined the league of companies that provide services in trauma and emergency care. The company has brought hyperbaric oxygen therapy to Qatar, and is expec...

  Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) attacks the immune system of the individual. The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a type of retrovirus that causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). AIDS refers to a set of symptoms and illnesses. It is one of the most widespread and incurable deficiency syndromes among humans across the world. HIV spreads through unprotected intercourse with a person infected with HIV. HIV can also be transmitted through transfusion of contaminated blood, from infected mother to child during breastfeeding and pregnancy, and due to sharing of contaminated needles and syringes. Some of the symptoms of HIV infection are swollen glands, headache, slight fever, fatigue, and muscle ache. At present, HIV infection can be treated by drugs that belong to classes such as nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), entry and fusion inhibitors, integrase inhibitors, and protease inhibitors (PI...

  The global market for influenza medication is displaying a highly competitive business structure, finds a new research study by Transparency Market Research (TMR). Daiichi Sankyo Co., GlaxoSmithKline plc, Natco Pharma, F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd., Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., Sandoz International GmbH (Novartis AG), Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. and Mylan Inc. are some of the prominent players operating in this market. However, only a few players have acquired the leading position, making the business landscape in this market moderately consolidated. The leading vendors of influenza medication are expected to take up strategic partnerships, states the market study. According to the research report, the  global influenza medication market  was worth US$1.69 bn in 2016. Expanding at a CAGR of 1.40% during the period from 2017 to 2025, the market is projected to reach US$2.01 bn by the end of the forecast period. zanamivir, oseltamivir, peramivir, amantadine, ri...

There are various types of disinfectant equipment, such as chlorine-based disinfectant and UV disinfectant equipment, which are used for commercial, residential, and industrial purposes. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in greater use of disinfectant equipment globally, especially in the healthcare industry in order to prevent the spread of coronavirus by sidestepping manual cleaning activities. Rapid transmission of the disease has further fueled the demand for disinfectant equipment and people are using disinfectant equipment regularly. Disinfection equipment provides a germ-free environment, are extremely fast in action, effective, reliable, and safe. Consequently, they are used extensively to kill infections resulting from poultry and leafy green produce. Wastewater treatment and food & beverage industries to ...

  Cobalt-Chromium Stent: Introduction Stent is a medical device that can provide scaffolding to organ walls and vessels to keep arteries open Stent is a tube-like, flexible, and small device. Stent is either made from polymer or metal. Stents are made-up of metals such as cobalt chromium, stainless steel, and nitinol Nowadays, cobalt-chromium is being used as stent material as it triggers activation of coagulation, platelets, endothelial cell dysfunction, and leukocytes Patients with peripheral artery disease and coronary artery diseases are receiving percutaneous coronary interventions with stent implantation for the treatment of the disease. However, stent thrombosis remains the major issue because of its adverse consequences. Advantages offered by cobalt chromium, such as strength, non-ferromagnetism, biocompatibility, and high resistance to corrosion and fatigue are expected to increase the usage of cobalt-chromium for making the stents to use in the treatment of cardiovascular...
