Breast implants are medical devices that are used to augment the size of breasts, either for cosmetic applications or reconstruction purpose, following mastectomy or to correct a congenital abnormality. Breast augmentation, commonly known as breast enlargement, is a popular surgical procedure that improves the size and shape of the breast. The procedure involves the use of breast implants and fat, called as fat transfer breast augmentation, in order to enhance and improve the size of the breasts. In clinical terms, breast augmentation is referred as augmentation mammoplasty. According to a statistics by American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the average cost of a breast augmentation surgery was US$ 3,708 in 2014. Socioeconomic status is a primary factor creating a high demand for breast implants globally. The primary customer base for breast augmentation are women belonging to middle- and high-income families. The World Bank estimates that the global annual disposable income per capita for women is expected to increase at a CAGR of approximately 6% in the next few years, driving the expansion of the aesthetic market globally. Additionally, significant rise of the world's middle-class population over the last few years, resulting in increase in purchasing power and discretionary spending, is indicative of the stability and growth of the global breast implant market. It has been estimated that much of this growth in purchasing power is likely to come from emerging markets, which is attributed to rising disposable income.

Artificial disc replacement is an emerging procedure that replaces the function of a damaged or diseased spinal disc. It is as an alternative to spinal fusion for the surgical treatment of severe disc problems. Herniated disc, bone spurs, spondylosis, or radiculopathy are to relieve pinched nerves causing pain that has been unrelieved by conservative measures. Spinal columns are replaced with artificial devices in the lumbar (lower) or cervical (upper) spine. During the procedure, the damaged disc is removed and the area around the bone is cleaned of any debris. The bone is also filed to make room for the artificial disc. The disc is then inserted into the space. Once secure and the soft tissues of the neck are in place, the incision is closed. The procedure is used to treat chronic, severe low back pain and cervical pain resulting from degenerative disc disease.

Bone cement is commonly known as polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) and is widely used for implant fixation in various orthopedic, dental, and trauma surgeries. Bone cement has no intrinsic adhesive properties; however, it relies on close mechanical interlock between the irregular bone surface and the prosthesis. Commercially, bone cement is available as calcium phosphate cement (CPC) and glass polyalkenoate (ionomer) cement (GPC). CPC is bioabsorbable and biocompatible, used primarily in cranial and maxillofacial surgeries due to its low mechanical strength. The use of various bone cements have evolved over the past century. Research to develop clinical applications and reduce the adverse effects associated with its use in surgery still continues.

Drug-eluting stents (DES) are placed inside blocked or narrowed coronary arteries, where they slowly release the drug to inhibit cell proliferation. Introduced in 2003, DES comprise a mesh-like tubular structure of thin wire; the drug and drug carrier which is a polymer or a mixture of polymer. Biostable or biodegradable polymers could be used to make the DES. Cytostatic drugs such as sirolimus or a cytotoxic drugs are used in these stents. DES have proven to be very successful in treating acute myocardial infarction, atherosclerosis, angina pectoris, and multiple vessel disease with reduced restenosis, allergic reactions, etc. compared to bare metal stents. These stents have almost eliminated the risk of restenosis, negative vessel remodeling, early stent thrombosis, and other side effects that occurred frequently due to the use of traditional bare metal stents (BMS). Post its discovery and approval to be utilized in coronary arteries, these stents have replaced BMS in the treatment of various cardiovascular disorders.

Asthma is a chronic disease of airways of the lungs and characterized by various symptoms such as bronchospasm, and pulmonary airway obstructions. The symptoms of asthma include coughing, chest tightness, wheezing, and breath shortness. Asthma is considered to be caused by a combination of environmental factors and genetic factors. The few environmental factors include exposure to allergens and air pollution. The symptoms can be prevented by avoiding exposure to allergens and irritants. In asthma, the pulmonary airway muscles get swollen, which in turn cause symptoms leading to bronchospasm and airway obstruction. Some healthy people can develop asthma symptoms during physical activity or exercise. This condition is called exercise-induced asthma (EIA). Patients with family history of asthma and allergies are more prone to developing asthma. It has been proved that there is no cure for asthma, but it can be controlled by early and effective asthma treatment. The medications in treatment of asthma includes corticosteroids, long acting beta-agonists (LABA), anti-inflammatory agents, and leukotriene modifiers. Asthma patients are at great risk of developing infections such as pneumonia and influenza and hence are vaccinated annually. Asthma mimicking symptoms have been found in a host of diseases in children. Hence, diagnosis and treatment of asthma in children has remained a challenge. Asthma-related fatalities in children are mostly preventable through proper education and awareness and timely treatment. Hence, spreading awareness about treating asthma in children presents an opportunity for asthma drug manufacturers.

Hepatitis A is a liver disease caused by hepatitis A virus that can lead to mild to severe illness. The hepatitis A virus (HAV) is spread through direct contact with an infectious person or through ingestion of contaminated food and water. Most patients recover fully from hepatitis A with a lifelong immunity. However, a small number of people with hepatitis A could succumb to the disease. Rise of hepatitis A infection is linked with poor sanitation & hygiene and lack of safe water. Hepatitis A occurs periodically and in epidemics globally, with a propensity for cyclic reappearances. The hepatitis A virus is one of the common reasons for foodborne infection. An effective and safe vaccine is available to prevent hepatitis A. Safe water supply, food safety, improved sanitation, and hand washing could also be effective ways to combat hepatitis A.
