The rhinitis is one of the short term and environment related disorders, which is identified by common symptoms, such as, runny nose, stuffy nose and post-nasal drip.
Among various types of rhinitis, allergic rhinitis is the most common disease. Allergic rhinitis, as the name indicates, occurs due to various allergy propelling factors, such as, pollen grains, dust, mist, fog, and other airborne allergens. When these allergens are inhaled by immune-sensitive person, it triggers the production of IgE (immunoglobulin E antibody). IgE triggers the histamine secretion, which leads to irritation and inflammation of mucous membrane. Perennial allergic rhinitis is the most common and frequently occurring type of allergic rhinitis.
The major symptoms of the disease include itching, sneezing, rhinorrhea, nasal obstruction and congestion. Sometimes, rhinitis may occur due to chronic diseases, such as, asthma, eczema and depression. The causes of the disease include pollens and airborne allergens of various natural origin, such as, trees, weeds and grasses. The disease is diagnosed by using Radio Allergo Sorbent Testing (RAST) blood test, skin test (patch test), skin prick test, and allergen sensitivity test.

Critical Limb Ischemia Treatment Market driven by rising incidence of CLI

Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is a kind of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in which chronic inflammation associated with atherosclerosis (progressive thickening of arteries lining) causes reduced blood flow to the extremities (legs, feet and hands), leading to severe pain and ulcers or sore. Some major risk factors for critical limb ischemia comprise aging (people aged 60 or over are at high risk of developing this diseased condition), diabetes, obesity, high cholesterol level, sedentary lifestyle, smoking and high blood pressure. Critical limb ischemia is associated with most common symptoms such as severe pain and numbness in the legs and feet when a person is in sedentary stage (rest pain), ulcers or skin sores and tissue necrosis (gangrene).
Critical limb ischemia being severe condition of PAD does not improve on its own and requires comprehensive treatment by a vascular surgeon. Treatment focuses on reducing the number of risk factors, relieving pain, reduction of blood pressure and cholesterol level, and to preserve the limb. However, there is no specific drug approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating CLI. There are many companies including Aastrom Biosciences, Biotronik AG, United Therapeutics and Sanofi that are striving to develop drug meant to cure CLI and PAD. Endovascular therapy is one of the common options in the care of CLI. Angioplasty, stents, laser atherectomy and directional atherectomy are some major endovascular procedures that are used to treat critical limb ischemia. Treatment may also involve surgical procedure for removing arterial blockage.
Worldwide increasing geriatric population, rising incidence of CLI and participation of a large number of companies to develop drugs supposed to treat CLI are among the major factors driving the market growth across the globe. Statistics released by the United Nations (UN) suggest that the global share of elderly population (aged 60 years and over) as a proportion of the global population has been increased from 9.2% in 1990 to 11.7% in 2013, and is expected to reach 21.1% by the end of 2050. In 2013, nearly 841 million people were aged 60 years and over which is likely to reach more than 2 billion by 2050.
As people age they are at high risk of developing CLI, therefore, increasing elderly population is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period. According to Vascular Disease Management, the prevalence of CLI has been estimated to be 300 per million inhabitants. In the United States, approximately 1 million people are affected with CLI. However, an analysis suggested by the Sage Group indicates that nearly 2 million people in the U.S. are living with CLI and owing to continuous rise in geriatric population the prevalence is expected to reach 3.5 million by 2020. Such high prevalence of people with CLI represents a favorable market for critical limb ischemia treatment market. In terms of geography, North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Rest of the World (RoW) are the four major markets for critical limb ischemia. Of these North America represents the largest market, followed by Europe, Asia-Pacific and Rest of the World (RoW).
Some of the major companies and research institution that are actively participating to develop medicines for treating critical limb ischemia include Aastrom Biosciences, Mahidol University, University Hospital Ostrava, MultiGene Vascular Systems Ltd. University of Southern California, Harvest Technologies, Seoul Veterans Hospital, GWT-TUD GmbH, Biotronik AG, United Therapeutics, Sanofi, Asklepios Kliniken Hamburg GmbH, Anesiva, Inc. and medac GmbH.

Blood Glucose Test Strips Market: New Business Opportunities & Investment Research Report 2019

Blood glucose or blood sugar refers to the sugar passed through the blood stream that is responsible for ensuring the energy supply to all the cells in the body. The regulation of blood glucose levels is essential in order to maintain the normal levels thereby maintaining hemostasis (maintaining a stable or equilibrium condition in the blood’s internal environment). The state of hemostasis is necessary for our bodies to ensure proper functionality.
There exist different types of blood glucose measurement tests performed such as fasting blood sugar test, postprandial blood sugar, oral glucose tolerance test, glycohemoglobin A1c testing and random blood sugar testing. Deviation in blood glucose levels from the normal range results in the development of disorders such as hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia. Hyperglycemia refers to a condition characterized by high levels of blood sugar than normal range whereas hypoglycemia refers to a condition characterized by lower blood glucose levels than normal range. Research studies have proved that higher levels of blood glucose levels lead to increased risk of developing cardiovascular diseases both in diabetic and non-diabetic population.
Blood glucose monitoring is referred to the regular testing of glycemia (testing the levels of glucose). Usually the blood glucose levels are monitored by either using a glucose meter comprising lancets, test strips and logbooks. In January 2014, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) proposed the new draft guidance for blood glucose test strips. The FDA has issued for the first time two separate guidance drafts for blood glucose test strips of which one is focused on point of care prescription meters (used in hospitals) and the other for over-the-counter (OTC) products.
The scope for allowable range of errors has been tightened from plus or minus 20% to plus or minus 15%. Similarly, the range of errors in case of point of care meters is also tightened. The other requirements would be the disinfection requirements and the packaged maters would contain the information about the accuracy results of the products. This would help the buyers to select the appropriate test strips. Another major requirement that FDA had added is that it would review the manufacturers test strips release lot that means there would be more stringent scrutiny for the clearance of test strips. Hence, these guidelines would ensure safety along with high reliability and accuracy and also reduce the probability of product recalls by the respective companies.
The market for blood glucose test strips can be segmented based on the test strips available for hospital use and over the counter products. Also, a detailed geographical landscape elucidating the market trends for four major geographies can be provided. The major factors favoring the growth of the blood glucose test strips market is consistent increase in the prevalence of diabetes along with increasing obesity and increased physical inactivity. As per the data enumerated by the International Diabetes Federation, in the year 2013 there are around 382 million people suffering from diabetes worldwide of which 37 million are Americans, 72 million people in South East Asian countries and around 56 million in European countries and others. In addition, rise in technological advances and increased awareness about diabetes is leading to increased diagnosis rates both at hospitals and at individual level.
These factors would in turn enhance the adoption of blood glucose test strips and drive the market growth. On the other hand, lack of accuracy, reliability, and increasing product recalls by several manufacturers would impede the market growth. Some of the key market players competing in this market are Abbott Laboratories, Bayer Healthcare AG, LifeScan, Inc., and F.Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd.

Epinephrine Market grows with increasing number of patient population susceptible to several allergic reactions

Epinephrine or adrenaline is a hormone secreted by adrenal glands in the blood stream. It is one of the two common hormones (the other being glucagon) that is responsible for glycogen breakdown. Secretion of epinephrine is characterized by the presence of extreme emotions such as anxiety or anger thereby resulting in elevated levels of blood pressure along with increased muscle strength and high sugar metabolism. Under strenuous conditions signals are transmitted to brain and brain in turn sends nerve impulses to the adrenal glands in the kidneys and result in the release or secretion of epinephrine. The presence of this hormone is essential for the body to maintain cardiovascular homeostasis as epinephrine can divert blood to tissues under stress. Epinephrine is used as a vasoconstrictor in shock, as a stimulant during cardiac arrest and as an antispasmodic and bronchodilator in bronchial asthma.
During cardiac arrest, there is a need for maximum amount of blood flow in the coronary artery and this is facilitated when epinephrine is injected into an intravenous solution. Epinephrine has effects on various parts of the body such as liver, skin, heart and lungs. For instance, in lungs epinephrine causes the relaxation of smooth muscles of lungs. Patients suffering from asthma have constricted lung passages that are prone to inflammation and swelling. This swelling result in coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath and due to inhalation of epinephrine in small doses causes the widening of the bronchial tubes thereby allowing the air to pass through and provides short term relief.
Epinephrine injections are commonly used against life threatening allergic reactions caused by medications, insect bites and stings. Epinephrine injections are available as prefilled automatic injection device with the hormone in the liquid form. Epinephrine is a class of medications called as alpha and beta adrenergic agonists and these medications work by tightening the blood vessels and by relaxing the muscles in the airways. The direction for preparing and use of the injectors is dependent on different brands available in the market. This injection is usually administered on the thighs and effects of this medication are fast and quick but not long lasting. Epinephrine has both mild and serious side effects such as high blood pressure, severe headache, blurred vision, chest pain, uneven heartbeats, dizziness, nausea and vomiting.
