The goal of palliative care is to provide patients with relief from side effects and stress

Palliative Care

 

  Palliative care is a type of care that aims to improve the quality of life of patients and their families who are dealing with life-threatening illnesses. Palliative-care services help to prevent and relieve suffering by detecting and treating pain as well as other physical, psychological, and spiritual disorders early on. Palliative-care also employs a collaborative approach to help patients and their careers. This includes addressing practical needs and providing a support structure to help patients live as active a life as possible until they die. A wide range of chronic conditions, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic lung disease, diabetes, kidney failure, chronic liver disease, and others, require palliative care.

  The rise in the geriatric population, the increased demand for palliative care services in hospitals and clinics, the increase in the number of qualified physicians for palliative-care, public awareness of life-threatening diseases, adoption of a sedentary lifestyle, increased use of palliative-care for homecare, and technological advancements in the healthcare industry for remote monitoring are the major factors driving the growth of palliative care.

 

What does palliative care have to offer?

Palliative-care has the potential to be a high-value alternative in the treatment of advanced cancer. Palliative-care not only saves money but also improves the quality of care. In patients with critical illnesses, it has been demonstrated to increase the quality of life, patient satisfaction, caregiver burden, and survival.

 

  The rising prevalence of life-threatening conditions like cancer, cardiovascular disease, and infectious diseases is expected to be the primary growth driver for worldwide palliative care. Other factors contributing to the rise in global palliative-care include an increase in the number of palliative care centers worldwide, an expansion of homecare applications, an increase in the number of qualified physicians for hospice and palliative-care, an expanding aging demographic, and so on. However, the high cost of treatment can be a major impediment to global palliative care. Less expansion of medical care facilities for the elderly in the Asia Pacific and the Middle East region, reimbursement scenario, and less private or public funding to hospital facilities and other medical care centers all act as global restraints on overall palliative-care.

Total Disc Replacement complete details Of Competitive Landscape Executive Summary Development in next decade

Image
    Total disc replacement is a type of back/spine surgery in which an artificial replacement device is used to replace a damaged or degenerated disc in the lumbar or cervical region. A disc replacement, also known as an artificial disc, is a device implanted in the spine that performs the same function as a normal disc in the human body. A total disc replacement , as the name implies, is a procedure that involves the complete or partial exclusion of the disc tissue in order to implant a replacement device into the space between the vertebrae. The prostheses help to maintain spinal curvature and flexibility while reducing or possibly eliminating pain.   Cervical total disc replacement (CTDR) surgery is used to treat patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD). The most common cause of DDD in the cervical region of the spine is neck pain. For the treatment of DDD, a cervical disc replacement procedure is performed in which the degenerated disc is surgically removed and an artificial

Dengue Vaccines development and progress towards vaccine has increased over the past few years

    Dengue fever is a tropical disease spread by mosquitos that are caused by the dengue virus. 3 to 14 days after infection, symptoms appear. A high fever, headache, vomiting, muscle, and joint pains, and a distinct skin rash are all potential symptoms. In most cases, recovery takes two to seven days. In a small percentage of cases, the disease progresses to dengue hemorrhagic fever, which causes bleeding, low levels of blood platelets, and blood plasma leakage, or to dengue shock syndrome, which causes dangerously low blood pressure.   Dengue is spread by several Aides genus female mosquitoes, most notably Aides. The virus has five serotypes; infection with one type usually results in lifelong immunity to that type but only temporary immunity to the others. Subsequent infection with a different type raises the possibility of severe complications. . Dengue vaccines are a vaccine used to protect humans from dengue fever to confirm the diagnosis, a number of tests are available, includ

Non-Contact Torque Sensors Increase Fuel Economy, Improve Ride Comfort and Safety

Torque Sensors     In order to determine the most suitable torque sensor, it is necessary to understand the application and environment. Some applications may require underwater sensors, while others may only need a torque sensor. The type of mounting and assembly is also important. Some are mounted flange-to-flange, while others are mounted shaft-to-shaft. The torque sensors must be able to detect the rotational force in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions.   The most common design for a torque sensor uses bonded strain gauge technology. The strain gauges are bonded to a shaft with a 45-degree inclination. The application will determine the type of cross-section and materials used for the shaft. Depending on the application, a cruciform, square, or a circular cross-section is appropriate. Some torque sensors are made from a combination of these materials.   When selecting a torque sensor, make sure to consider its physical and environmental requirements. The temperature, hu
