Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a relatively common form of kidney disease in children and adults, associated with ammasing of cholesterol and lipids in the glomerulus of the kidney. Hardening or scarring of tiny blood vessels inside the kidney is referred to as glomerulosclerosis. The key function of glomeruli is filtration of wastes in the blood and its excretion outside the body in the form of urine. Damage caused to glomeruli leads to a condition known as proteinuria, which involves leakage of blood protein into urine rather than its retention in the blood stream. Due to increase in the protein level of urine, patients develop a specific set of symptoms known as nephrotic syndrome.

 Active therapies are intended to facilitate re-establishment of innate repair mechanisms in the treatment of chronic wounds, which involve application of active biological agents such as growth factors, skin grafts, and skin substitutes, and other agents. Incidence of chronic wounds including diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, venous leg ulcers, surgical wounds, and burns is increasing across the world. Treatment of chronic wounds has been evolving with time and the products and therapies in the treatment of chronic wounds have evolved from traditional wound dressings to new and advanced wound dressings, wound care devices, and active therapies. Active therapies are the emerging therapies in wound care and considered to be the most promising in the treatment of chronic wounds. Wound care dressings have not been efficient in the treatment of chronic wounds, and devices used in the current modules of treatment also lack comprehensive data presenting the complete healing of wounds, especially in the hard to heal ulcers segment. Hence, various health care organizations across the world in collaboration with regional and national governments and other research universities are focusing on new and advanced active therapies in the treatment of chronic wounds by conducting various clinical trials.

Innovations in molecular diagnostics leading to automation of instruments are resulting in expanded applications of molecular assay beyond just identification purposes. The automated molecular assays having reduced handling errors and enhanced limits of detection and quantitation are leading to the usage of molecular assays in therapeutic monitoring and drug prescription selection with an objective of avoiding toxicity and other side effects. The shift in paradigm of clinical laboratory testing and medicine have led to improved pharmacogenomics and patient stratification. Innovations in the novel detection of pathogens and microRNAs are contributing to the continued expansion of the market by changing the landscape of personalized care. Advancements in automated molecular assays are resulting in the elimination of discriminatory testing necessities for patients.

Bones in our body are living tissue. They have their own blood vessels and are made of living cells, which help them to grow and to repair themselves. Bone is the substance that forms the skeleton of the body. It is composed chiefly of calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate. It also serves as a storage area for calcium, and playing a large role in calcium balance in the blood. There are 270 bones at birth time and the total number decrease to 206 in adulthood after some bones are fused together. The 206 bones in the body serve several purposes. They support and protect internal organs (for example, the skull protects the brain and the ribs protect the lungs). Muscles pull against bones to make the body move. Bone marrow, the soft, spongy tissue in the center of many bones, makes and stores blood cells. Smoking and alcohol consumption can lead to lower bone density and higher risk of fracture and this risk increases with age.

Thymus is an irregular shape gland which is located under the breastbone (sternum) in upper chest. The organ is divided into two halves known as lobes and is made up of many small bumps called as lobules. Thymus plays an important role in maintaining the body's immune system. During fetal development and childhood thymus gland is involved in the production and maturation of T lymphocytes (T cells). T cells are developed in the thymus and travel to lymph nodes throughout the body. These T cells are responsible for fighting against viruses, bacteria, fungi and various other infection causing agent. Thymus gland is fully developed at the age of puberty but gradually the gland shrinks and becomes inactive. However, the gland continues to produce T cells until old age.
