Duchenne muscular dystrophy is an X-linked disease, which generally affects the male population. It is characterized by progressive muscle degeneration and weakness. The disease is caused due to mutations in the dystrophin gene, which result in the lack of production of dystrophin (a protein essential for maintaining healthy muscle function) in individuals. The lack of dystrophin weakens muscle function, causes loss of ambulation, harms the respiratory and cardiac function, and ultimately leads to death. The main symptoms of this condition appears in childhood and includes delay of motor functions; progressive muscle weakness; muscle contractures in legs; and muscle weakness in arms, neck, and more severely in the lower half of the body. The bones also develop peculiarly, causing skeletal deformities in the patient. Occurrences of pseudo-hypertrophy, cardiomyopathy, and breathing complications are some of the other symptoms of this condition.

Distributed data grids are data storage software. They represent a sub-segment of in-memory computing. Data grids store data in the RAMs of a set of multiple servers distributed across various locations, which can be managed centrally. Distributed data grids are versatile as they can store both structured as well as unstructured data. Distributed data grids have several advantages over traditional forms of data storage as the software avoids traditional input/output bottlenecks encountered in relational database structures by using object-oriented designs.

Bio-implant is medical device made up of biomaterials, which are used to replace, augment, or repair damaged tissues. There are two types of bio-implants: orthopedic and cardiovascular implants. The orthopedic implant includes replacement procedures for the hip, spine, knee, and other extremities such as the shoulder, wrist, elbow, and ankle. Cardiovascular bio-implants such as cardiac rhythm management (CRM), stents, and prosthetic heart valves are used to maintain the functions of the heart.

Biometrics was introduced in the latter half of the twentieth century, with the emergence of computers. It is based on the behavioural and physiological characteristics of an individual that are difficult to replicate. Biometric technologies include voice recognition, palm geometry recognition, DNA identification, gait recognition, fingerprint matching, facial recognition, iris recognition, signature verification, and vein recognition. Also, biometric technologies are considered to be more reliable compared to physical devices and numeric codes. In addition, biometric traits cannot be lost or forgotten by an individual. Biometrics use verification and identification to authenticate an individual. Verification is a one-on-one process that matches the biometric traits of an individual against a particular template. However, identification is a process where the biometrics traits of an individual are matched against all templates in the database.
