Seaweed includes various type of red, brown, and green algae. Seaweed can be used as food, medicine, fertilizer, for filtration, in cosmetics, and in industries. Seaweed extracts have been used as liquid fertilizers on various crops to promote growth and development. The most important benefit seaweed fertilizer can provide is that it boosts plant health and helps plants deal with environmental stressors such as heat, cold, wind, drought, and disease. Using seaweed as fertilizer also increases overall nutrition, including protein content. Seaweed for plants has been used by gardeners and a farmer for thousands of years. Liquid seaweed is ideal nourishment for plants but is different from most N P K (nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium) fertilizer treatments. In fact, seaweed only contains a little K – potassium. But it has many other minerals, vitamins, and enzymes that are natural growth stimulants. Many of these are not found elsewhere. These nutrients fuel the plant cells' growth, and this results in healthier, stronger, and more disease-resistant plants. Seaweed liquid fertilizers boosts increased uptake of nutrients from the soil, better resistance to frost and other stress conditions, increased resistance to pests, and increased yields. A crucial advantage of these liquids over solids is that it can be sprayed directly onto plant leaves for direct leaf uptake. Seaweed fertilizer can be used as soil treatment. Since most plants absorb their nutrients through the leaves, applying it with a foliar method will benefit the plant even more. As the plant absorbs sunlight, it will also absorb the nutrients in the fertilizer.

Engine oil additives are chemicals or specialty chemicals that are added or mixed with engine oil to enhance its performance and characteristics. Engine oil additives protect the engine form wear and tear and also improve the overall fuel economy. Engine oil additives are also referred as lubricant additives. Engine oil additives play three basic roles: (i) it enhances base oil properties, (ii) it suppresses undesirable properties, and (iii) it imparts new properties to base oil. These functions are carried out by different types of engine oil additives. However, engine oil additives improve the viscosity index of the engine oil. This is the major characteristic of engine oil additives. High viscosity imparts difficulty for easy flow of oil. On the other hand, less viscosity causes improper lubrication. The viscosity of the engine oil also changes due to temperature variations. Engine oil additives ensure maintenance of enough viscosity of the engine oil so that the engine functions without any lag.

High purity aluminum oxide is often termed as high purity alumina. It is a high-value, white, granular chemical produced commercially either by treating aluminum with specific chemicals or through use of other aluminous feed stock.

4-Nitrobenzoic acid is an organic compound and a precursor to 4-nitrobenzoyl chloride, the precursor to the anesthetic folic acid and procaine. 4-Nitrobenzoic acid has been prepared by nitration of polystyrene followed by oxidation of the alkyl substituent. 4-Nitrobenzoic acid is used as an intermediate for bulk drugs especially in the manufacturing of 3,5-diaminobenzoic acid, 4-aminobenzoic acid, dye intermediate and folic acid.

The global market for specialty fertilizers is displaying steadfast growth over the past couple of years. Across the world, rising demand for food to feed the rising population has necessitated to increase crop yield by means of modern farming practices. This is because agricultural produce that is obtained using conventional agricultural practices that employ regular fertilizers is insufficient to serve the food needs. Apart from this, research initiatives and investments for the introduction of novel specialty fertilizers is also stoking growth of specialty fertilizers market.

Truck-mounted concrete pumps are generally used in larger construction projects as these are capable of pumping concrete at high volume. In addition, truck mounted concrete pumps also help lower labor costs. These pumps involve a chassis system, power system, control system, hydraulic system, and a pumping system.

Genitourinary drugs are used to treat disorders affecting the kidneys, bladder, ureters, and urethra. Since long, patients suffering from disorders and infections related to genitourinary systems have been depending on steroids and immunosuppressants which are chemically synthesized and may reciprocate with some serious side effects such as insomnia, acne, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. As a result, patients are now turning to biological drugs that not only cause fewer to no side-effects, but are also more effective in the treatment of genitourinary infections.

Lymphoma is a kind of blood cancer which occurs when B or T lymphocytes and leukocytes grow abnormally. In addition, it also occurs if these cells survive longer than their normal life cycle. Lymphoma generally occurs in lymph nodes, bone marrow, spleen, blood and other organs which form a part of the lymphatic system. Lymphoma is of two types namely hodgkin and non-hodgkin. Hodgkin lymphoma develops in the lymph nodes of the lymphatic system. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is the most common type of lymphoma and develops in related tissues of the lymphatic system and lymph nodes. The common symptoms of lymphoma are swelling of lymph nodes, fever, weight loss, night sweets, anorexia, itching, dyspnoea and fatigue. The common tests applied for the diagnosis of lymphoma are immunophenotyping, FISH (Fluorescence in Situ Hybridization) testing and flow cytometry. Radiation therapy, chemotherapy and monoclonal antibody therapy are performed on the patients suffering from lymphoma. Among all these treatment options, the most common method to treat lymphoma is chemotherapy.

Despite the advances in brain and central nervous system disorders remains the world’s leading cause of disability. The delivery of drugs to central nervous system remains a challenge for the treatment of nervous system disorders. The major problem faced with drug delivery is the presence of blood brain barrier (BBB). The blood brain barrier (BBB) is an effective membrane that limits the passage of exogenous substance to the central nervous system. Drugs that are effective against CNS diseases must pass through the BBB. Therefore, many drugs developed for the treatment of CNS diseases have been unable to show significant therapeutic effects. Hence, the failure of systemically delivered drugs to effectively treat many diseases have surged the demand for development of drug delivery system.

Factor assays are mainly undertaken during prolongation of the Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT) and Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT) resulting in the deficiency of one or more clotting proteins. Overall a basic general principle is followed by all functional clotting factor assays that involves specific plotting/clotting time from either PTT or APTT depending on which factor it’s being assayed against sample dilution. A quantitative assay of an individual clotting factor is essential to identify inherited deficiency and to monitor replacement therapy and sometimes helps to distinguish acquired defects e.g. disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), vitamin K deficiency, inhibitors.

Dermatomycoses is a fungal infection of the skin commonly caused by yeast, dermatophytes or other groups of fungi (e.g. epidermophyton, microsporum and genera trichophyton). These organisms break down the keratin tissues of hair, epidermis, nails and are mainly characterized by colonization of the keratinized layers on the surface of skin. Dermatomycoses commonly refers as tinea or ring-worm infections due to its characteristic ringed lesions. It comprises various types of ringworm infections namely athelete’s foot, microsporosis, jock itch and trichophytosis. The possible route of entry for these organisms (i.e. dermatophytes) into the host body is by scars, burns and injured skin.

Ocular pain is also known as eye pain that occurs on the surface of the eye. Ocular pain is considered as a common medical condition that resolves on its own but, sometimes it creates emergency medical conditions. Possible causes for ocular pain includes corneal discomfort, pain in the sclera and discomfort in conjunctiva and pain in the iris. Moreover, few other etiology of ocular pain includes pain in extracellular muscle of the eye, burning sensation in nerves present in the eye and paining sensation on the eyelids. Sinusitis, migraines, traumatic events and glaucoma are considered as few of medical conditions that can cause ocular pain. possible signs and symptoms of ocular pain includes pain in the eye, partial loss of vision, light sensitivity, double vision, halos vision, severe headache, irregularly shaped pupil, bulging eye and blood inside the front of eye. Common test utilized for diagnosis of ocular pain includes slit-lamp exam, dilating drops test and tonometer test. Medications used for the treatment of ocular pain include antibacterial medications, antiviral medications and steroids.

Exanthema (exanthem) is rash that affects several areas of the skin. It is generally referred as viral exanthema more common in children. Determining of the exact cause of rashes is difficult as look similar in most of the cases. Hence, other symptoms (such as headache, severe abdominal pain, diarrhea vomiting etc), facilitate the physicians in identifying the type of virus responsible for onset of the disease. This condition is also termed as roseola infantum and is positioned as a sixth rash causing disease in children since, this condition is caused by human herpesvirus 6 (HHV 6). Similar condition is caused by other viruses as well resulting in development of rashes all over the body. These rashes are visible from head to toe and are red and blotchy in appearance. Infants suffering from common viral infections such as cold and sore throat are at the highest risk of acquiring viral exanthems. Several symptoms of exanthem such as severe abdominal pain, stiff neck, diarrhea needs timely treatment. Medication such as acetaminophen (tylenol), penicillin and tetracycline are prescribed for treatment of exanthema. However, certain temporary medications such as NSAIDs can be taken for pains, headache, and others. For instance, Acetaminophen and ibuprofen are prescribed against headaches, fever and body pain. Cool sponge baths are also recommended to reduce the fever to certain extent.

The World Health Organization states that in 2012, urinary tract cancer was the ninth most frequently occurring cancer type with a high reoccurrence rate. This type of cancer is high among the geriatric population, smokers, those with urinary tract infections, and workers in chemical industries. One of the most important and effective methods of eliminating urinary tract cancer is early diagnosis and studies have shown that nearly 75%-80% of cancer patients survive if the disease is diagnosed at an early stage.
