Vertebroplasty & Kyphoplasty are minimally invasive, image guided surgical procedures performed to treat the Vertebral Compression Fracture (VCF). VCFs can lead to back pain, reduced physical activity, depression, loss of independence, decreased lung capacity, and difficulty sleeping. Bone cement is injected into the back bone (vertebra) to provide support to the broken bone. Due to osteoporosis, vascular malformatins or, less commonly, cancer fractures can be caused in the vertebra. Vertebroplasty & Kyphoplasty help the patient to regain the functional abilities and avoid further vertebral collapse. Kyphoplasty is an advanced version of Vertebroplasty which can stabilize the fracture, restore heights and reduce deformities.

Clinical information system (CIS) is a computer aided system that organizes, stores and double checks all the medical information of patient. Clinical information system is designed to provide and improve clinical quality and care for each patient every time. Clinical information system replaces the paper charts such as patient health history, prescriptions, doctor's notes and dictation and all other information of patient in the form of electronically preserved data. Clinical information system reduces the chance of errors because it is required to enter the accurate information of patient. Clinical information system are used in various forms such as electronic medical records (EMR), computerized physician order entry, laboratory information systems, pharmacy information systems, radiology information systems, and PACS. Apart from this clinical information system helps by computerization of repetitive tasks, providing high accuracy, automated recording of medical equipment's observations and results. Currently Clinical information system is integrated into ambulatory care records, mobile monitoring solutions, handheld devices for collecting and reviewing data, decision tools and support programs. Clinical information system also facilitates healthcare organizations to participate in Health Information Exchanges (HIEs) to share patient data between health systems.

Sterol ester is created when sterol and a fatty acid are synthesised (esterification). Sterol Esters is the heterogeneous chemical compound that can be found in small amount almost in every cell type. Plant sterol is called phytosterols which is a collective term for plant-derived sterols and stanols that are found in the fatty tissues of plants. When plant sterol is esterified with fatty acids then it is called as plant sterol ester. The proportion of the phytosterol strength is approximately 60 percent by weight of the ester and that of the fatty acid tail approximately 40 percent by weight. Commercially, Phytosterols are colleted from vegetable oils, for instance sunflower oil, soybean oil, and oilseed rape.

Automotive vehicles, in recent years, have become a necessary household entity rather than being a luxury as previously in the past.

Photo curing states certain way of radiation curing wherein several product formulations, including coatings, adhesives, inks and other materials can be cured, rather than using conventional methods which are usually energy demanding and produce harmful discharges. The photo curing technology, utilizes various multi-functional resins that are also called UV curable resins, by showing them to UV light are cross-linked. The UV light activates a photo initiator to generate the polymerization initiating species which very quickly alter the liquid resins to cross-linked coatings. The resins employed in the formulations can be largely classified as monomers and oligomers.

Pheochromocytoma is an efficient catecholamine-secreting tumor of the adrenal gland medulla. Catecholamines include norepinephrine, epinephrine, and their derivatives. Symptoms of pheochromocytoma include flank skin, elevated heart rate, elevated blood pressure, anxiety, sweating, headache, and weight loss. Within normal limits, norepinephrine and epinephrine hormones are responsible for regulating the blood pressure and heart rate. Excess production of catecholamine due to pheochromocytoma is a reason for high blood pressure with life-threatening and potentially serious difficulties such as stroke and heart attack. Pheochromocytoma occurs most frequently in adults aged between 30 and 60 years. Pheochromocytomas are not life-threatening mostly, but have 10% chances of being cancerous. High blood pressure is the most significant symptom; however, excessive sweating, light-headedness, a fast and pounding pulse when standing, severe headache, rapid breathing, and other symptoms may also occur.

Bio-implants are made from biological cells which are compatible with the human body cells. For instance, bio-implants are used in the treatment of skin burns or sores caused by surgeries. Eye bio-implants are used in the treatment of cornea sores or chemical damages in the eye.

Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery is performed to treat disease occurring in various parts of brain, spinal cord or skull base through a small opening. Diseased area may require repair, removal and in the worst cases replacement which is being done through neurosurgery. Neurosurgical device used for the visualization purpose inside the human brain or spinal cord is known as "Endoscope" which is kind of a small microscope inserted through minimal invasion. Endoscope helps in magnifying critical anatomical structure and assist the surgeon in the treatment. Endoscopic neurosurgery requires minimal incision thus it is also known as "Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery". Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery avoids complication post-surgery, leads to faster recovery, minimal scarring/pain and high accuracy. Recent advancement in endoscope design produced endoscopes that are compact, more efficient with improved resolution and better illumination than the earlier devices.

Unattended breakout of fire damages assets and endanger human lives. At industries or manufacturing plants, damaged machinery/assets are expensive to repair or replace. Most of the times due to fire hazards, businesses cannot continue with the operations, and the business downtime causes financial and goodwill loss. Automatic fire suppression system (AFSS) is used in industries to control and extinguish the fire without human interference. Automatic fire suppression system is largely used in industries to protect life, assets, climate & environment and to ensure business continuity.

Due to change in the temperature, all materials expand and contract. In industries, where pipes are exposed to the high temperature, the chances of pipe expansion increases. Unwanted expansion of pipes can be hazardous in the working environment, and thus to avoid such mishap, metal bellows are integrated in the pipes. As the pipe expands due to growing temperature, the job of the bellows is to resist the compression by the force.
