Spinal stenosis is narrowing of the spinal column and mainly occurs from a combination of aging and degenerative changes in the spine. This puts pressure on the spinal cord and the spinal nerve roots, and may cause pain, numbness, or weakness in the legs. Spinal stenosis mostly affects people above 60 years of age but can also occur in younger people born with the abnormal spinal canal. Lumbar spinal stenosis, cervical spinal stenosis and thoracic spinal stenosis are the three main types of spinal stenosis. About 75% of the cases of spinal stenosis occurs in the lower lumbar region. The primary symptoms associated with spinal stenosis are radiculopathy and myelopathy. Myelopathy is of greater concern as pressure on the spinal cord can lead to permanent spinal cord damage. Diagnosis of spinal stenosis involves the complete evaluation of spine. The most common diagnostic test for spinal stenosis are MRI scan and X-ray. In some cases CT scan can be conducted in order to diagnose the condition. Spinal stenosis treatment can be conservative or surgical depending upon the severity of the disease.

General herpes is a sexually transmitted infection (STI), caused by herpes simplex virus. It causes painful blisters on the genital organs and surrounding areas of both men and women. It also affects mucus membrane present in the body. Prevalence rate of genital herpes is high in women when compared with men. Genital herpes is a chronic condition and it is not having any cure, however, medication is available to reduce triggered symptoms of the disease. The viral infection is permanent in human body and will become active and causes painful blisters occasionally in first two years. The average rate of recurrence is five times in a first two years and the rate of recurrence will decrease in each time. Prevalence rate of this disease is high in population with age from 20 to 24 years. It also causes severe health problems in a pregnant women.

Due to the high risks with the consumption of these, people around the world are demanding for non-GMO food products. Sports drinks are a part of functional beverages, and are marketed differently. These help in replenishment of body fluids during exercise. There are three types of sports drinks available in the market.

An endoprosthesis is an artificial device which replaces a missing body part such as lower and upper body extremities and other organs or parts of the body. It is a science which deals implantation of mechanical devices within human skeleton, peripheral vascular system, cardiovascular system and nervous systems, and other body parts to assist the motor control lost by any disease or disorder. Prosthesis find its application as replace component in missing extremity, such as knee, femur, and wall stent endoprosthesis. Endoprosthesis needed for a variety of reasons, accidents, diseases and disorders, and congenital defects. Endoprosthesis market has huge potential in terms of revenue generation and it's fuelled by growing demand for novel technologies and treatment methods.

Liquid biopsy is minimally invasive diagnostic procedure alternative to surgical biopsies. Liquid biopsy helps in collection of a wide range of information about a cancer/tumor through a simple blood sample. The procedure can help in exact detection of mutations in epidermal growth factor receptors in cancers such Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NSCLC). Furthermore, identification of traces of the cancer's DNA in the blood could help in administration of precision treatments that could increase the probability of treatment effectiveness. Liquid biopsies are also helpful in residual cancer detection. This minimally invasive method can be performed with 5 milliliters of blood which would detect present state of metastases in various tumors. The liquid biopsy process is witnessing increasing adoption as it is easier to tolerate and much quicker than a surgical biopsy. The method is expected to emerge as a game changer in the field of oncology in the forthcoming years.

Currently, 3D Packaging using Through Silicon Via technology (3D TSV) is one of the hottest topics in the semiconductor ecosystem. 3D TSV is vertical electrical connection (via) passing completely through a silicon wafer or die. These short vertical interconnects are replacing the long interconnects of 2D packaging technologies including wire-bond and flip chips.

Radiation toxicity is an illness and symptom resulting from excessive exposure to radiations. Radiation exposure can occur as a single large exposure (acute), or a series of small exposures spread over time (chronic). Exposure may be accidental or intentional (as in radiation therapy). Exposure to high amount of radiation causes degradation of DNA and other key molecular structures within cells in various tissues. The destruction of DNA ultimately affects normal replication of the cells. Exposure to smaller dose of radiation results in symptoms such as gastrointestinal disturbances including nausea and vomiting. While exposure to higher dose of radiation reflects symptoms such as neuro damage and rapid death. Unfortunately, giving first aid to radiation victims may expose rescue personnel to radiation unless they are properly protected. Thus, the increasing level of radiation toxicity that harm to human health globally has grabbed the attention of pharmaceutical companies to invest into radiation toxicity market.

Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a viral disease of immune system caused by the infection of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a primary intracranial tumor occurs mostly in patients suffering from severe immunosuppression specifically AIDS. The pathogen responsible for primary CNS lymphoma is Epstein-Barr virus. AIDS associated primary CNS lymphoma diffuses large-cell lymphoma of B-cell which usually occurs in brain or spinal cord. Patients suffering from CNS lymphoma complain about lethargy, headache, neurologic symptoms and signs and changes in mental status. For diagnosing AIDS associated primary CNS lymphoma, Computed Tomography (CT) scan or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is performed. Biopsy diagnosis is also performed to confirm the results as the lesions reported in MRI and CT scan sometimes generate confusion between toxoplasmosis, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) lesions and lymphoma.

Graft versus Host disease occurs after a stem cell or bone marrow transplant. High dose treatment destroy cancer cells along with that it simultaneously destroys healthy cells. Stem cell and bone marrow transplant treatments are used in reconstructing damaged cells, surrounding cancer tumors. Normally after high dose treatment, patient receives bone marrow from a donor through drip which resumes production of blood cells. Graft versus Host Disease occurs when certain types of white blood cells. This is caused due to the transplanted cells (graft) see recipient's body (host) as exotic, thus transplanted cells attack the host body.

Hormonal contraception is type of pregnancy prevention techniques which act on the endocrine system. In this method various female hormones are used to prevent ovulation. Two forms of hormonal contraceptive formulations are available in combination forms such as estrogen and a progestin. However, progestogen is the only method which contains progesterone or any one of its synthetic analogues. In combination method the therapeutic effect is achieved by suppressing ovulation and thickening of cervical mucus, whereas progestogen only method decrease the frequency of ovulation.

Kinase Inhibitors are specific enzymes which oppose the process of cell division and growth in cancerous cells. It comes handy in treatment of cancer by blocking the signals that notify a cell to divide and grow. In last few decades, there has been significant progress made in the development of cancer treatment such as chemotherapy. However, these drugs used cancer treatment have a restricted therapeutic index, also the result are only unpredictable, partial, brief, palliative as well as uncertain. In contrast, kinase inhibitor therapy which has recently been introduced is specifically targeted towards cancer molecules and signaling pathways. Such targets are normally found in tumor cells, resulting wider therapeutic index and minimum adverse effect.
