Sport Medice Industry : Introductions,Models and Market

Introduction :

No matter how many precautions a sport person take and how much he thinks it won't happen to him but injuries are bound happen to sportsman or an athlete. As athletes have to perform on field they have to go through stress, pressure, etc. along with this they have to battle against heat, wind, collisions.  The human body no longer take such stress of that force and he became ill. If the athlete is injured or sick he may not able to compete.  And if the sickness stays for long time then it may harm his performance and might be his career. To prevent this a special field in medical diagnostics is Sport medicine is a branch of medicine which deals with physical fitness, treatment and prevention of injuries related to sports.

Most Common Sport injuries : 

  1. Ankle sprain
  2. ACL Sprains

Industrial athlete : In this approach overall study of an athlete has been done such as monitoring their hearts and lungs, strength/endurance, analyzing their diets and supplements they are taking. That means an ample amount of money had been spent to discover athletes strong and weak zones. Which help them to perform better and overcome sickness as possible as it could be.
  2.  Fast and effective return to participation : A typical athlete wants to get back to the game as soon as possible. They don't want to be in bed for 3 weeks or so. That's where the information of individuals is come into the picture and doctors can focus on problems and recover it as soon as possible.
  3. Self motivation : in the injury period athlete must not give up his self esteem because self esteem is the biggest part for fast recovery. so we have to maintain a positive and motivated atmosphere in such time.

Sport Medicine Model :

There are two main points of this model. First this model mainly focus on prevention , the athletic trainers work with their athletes so that they can prevent them form injuries.
Second point is when injury does occur the trainers quickly evaluates the severity of the injury and find outs the root cause is the most integral part of prevention plan. Along with the first aide that might be required the trainer assesses the scope of the injury. If the injury falls within scope of practice the trainer plans and implements quick  re-habitation program.

Introduction To Machine To Machine Market

Introduction To M2M Market :


Machine to machine (M2M) uses a devices such as a sensors or meters to capture an event such as temperature, inventory level, that is received and passed through a network such as wireless, wired or hybrid to a software program that translates the captured event into meaningful information.

In product restocking, for example, when a particular item is running low a vending machine can message the distributor. M2M communication is an important aspect of warehouse management, logistic services, supply chain management, fleet management and telemedicine,remote control, robotics, traffic control.  It forms the basis for a concept known as the Internet of Things.

Key components of an M2M system include sensors, RFID, a Wi-Fi or cellular communications link and autonomic computing software programmed to help a networked device interpret data and make decisions. The most well-known type of M2M communication is telemetry, which has been used since the early part of the last century to transmit operational data. Pioneers in telemetrics first used telephone lines -- and later, on radio waves -- to transmit performance measurements gathered from monitoring instruments in remote locations. The Internet and improved standards for wireless technology have expanded the role of telemetry from pure science, engineering and manufacturing to everyday use in products like home heating units, electric meters and Internet-connected appliances. Products built with M2M communication capabilities are often marketed to end users as being “smart.”

Currently, M2M does not have a standardized connected device platform and many M2M systems are built to be task- or device-specific. It is expected that as M2M becomes more pervasive, vendors will need to agree upon standards for device-to-device communications.

 

Market Of M2M Industry :


The global Machine To Machine market is expected to grow from $21.52 billion in 2011 to $85.96 billion in 2017 at a CAGR of 26.1% from 2012 to 2017.


The industry players present along the value chain are involved in initiatives such as alliances, partnerships, and joint ventures to achieve better market recognition and facilitate mobile operators to work directly with companies selling Machine to machine services. Some of the key players involved in the design, development, and supply of M2M solutions include Sierra Wireless (U.S.), Jasper Wireless (U.S.), Telit Communications (Italy), Numerex Corp (U.S.), NTT DoCoMo (Japan), and more.

Commercial Airport Lighting Market - Terminal, Airside and Landside from 2013 To 2018

 

Introduction :


The scope of Airport Lighting Market report is to identify the business opportunity that arises from new airports, terminals or any airport expansion/up gradation. The airfield lighting plays a crucial role at airports in order to enhance passenger experience. Airports have begun to install light emitting diodes (LEDs) on runway edge lights and taxiway lights, in hope to increase safety and to reduce the cost of runway operation.

 

An Airfield Lighting Market has three important divisions:

  • Majority of lighting solutions are present at Air side.
  • Followed by lighting solutions in the land side right from arrival of passengers to airport and right from disembarkation of passengers to exiting the airport.
  •  Lastly, the ground access areas that is parking pick up and drop points and so on.
Lighting is an important safety feature which is necessary at every airport to facilitate night flying. In general, the type of aircraft used in the airport, determines the type of lighting solutions necessary. One particular type of required lighting system is an edge-light system which is used to outline usable operating areas of airports during periods of darkness or low visibility. There are several edge-light systems that are currently available.

Among the key landing and ground-movement visual aids are those located in the pavement of runways and taxiways. These lighted aids can be needed for landing, roll-out, take-off, ground movement, traffic control and high-speed exits from runways and apron guidance for docking. Techniques can be constantly developed to make its installation compatible with paving requirements yet without compromising the integrity and function of the lights.

The latest Airport Lighting said to be very advanced and effective solution/systems for air side, land side and ground access. Many designs and modules have been developed by many consultants and the airport has the option to choose which module they can use for their airports.

 

Market Of  Airport Lighting :

 

Markets Covered : 


Airport Lighting Market segments the airport lighting market by:
  1. North America,
  2. South America,
  3. Europe (including Russia),
  4. Africa and
  5. APAC

 
Stakeholders Of Airport Lighting Market :
  1. Light manufacturers
  2. Hardware/service and solutions providers
  3. Airlines
  4. Technology suppliers
  5. Airport Lighting consultants
  6. Aviation regulating bodies
  7.  Airports
  8. Passengers  
 Airport Lighting accounts for approximately 25% to 30% of electrical use in most commercial buildings. At airports, this can increase up to 40%. With the addition of Operation and Maintenance, lighting holds the greatest prospective for saving energy at small airport terminals. Retrofits in lighting systems can have significant impact on the other, more costly infrastructure upgrades such as ventilation and boilers equipment owing to reduction in cooling loads provided by more efficient fluorescent fixtures. Lighting upgrades open up power for other systems or expansion of facilities. Airport Lighting improvements, coupled with other energy efficiency projects, eliminated the need to construct a new energy plant. Airport Lighting upgrades also has the potential to improve productivity and passenger experience by improving light quality and levels, improves more control by turning lights off or balancing levels with daylight, and reduce maintenance costs by increasing lamp life.

Lamp Fixtures


Extensive research says that the lamp and fixture retrofits as low-cost energy efficiency improvements that return noteworthy savings. It may also be noted that lighting improvements are one of the most noticeable ways to save energy, which, along with visual display upgrades. Screw-in incandescent fixtures to compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) are some of the change that is happening all over the world, which use up to 75% less energy and last significantly longer. The cost of CFL fixtures has dropped extensively in recent years making this upgrade even more affordable. Maintenance savings may also be found owing to reduced replacement frequency.

Although often distinguished as a high-efficiency lamp, fluorescents can be limited in lighting output comparative to other lamps, specifically high-intensity-discharge or HID. Areas where conversion from fluorescent to HID may be appropriate include exterior precautionary lighting on terminals and areas which can be surrounded by parking structures attached to the terminals.

Central Automated Lighting


Another type of lighting control system involves centralized control of all lighting fixtures within the terminal. By using central control, areas of activity that were not previously monitored and tracked will now be monitored and tracked, and ignored or crisis areas will be identified. In addition, some central controls can track total hours that lamps have been in service, supplying staff on duty with useful information with which they could schedule re-lamping programs. Another strategy that put forth is to plan lighting controls to periodical turning off the lights within a certain area of the building during the off-peak period. Lighting reduction during non-peak hours and utilization of central lighting control is a common practice followed by most of the airports.
According to a new market research report, "Commercial Airport Lighting Market (Terminal, Airside & Landside)(2013 – 2018)", authored by MarketsandMarkets , the total airport lighting market is expected to reach $244.3 Million by 2018 with a CAGR of 6.07%.

Global Ultrasound Devices Market statistics and forecast by 2017


The medical ultrasound devices market consists of devices that involve the projection of cyclic sound waves ranging between 20 KHz – 10 MHz. These waves create varying pressures on biological tissues, based on the level of frequencies used. Ultrasound has the ability to raise the temperature of a substance when directed in focused waves, and thus also finds therapeutic applications.

 

source:http://www.nydnrehab.com 

Medical application of ultrasound began post World War II in the 1940s, with the first diagnostic application being in cardiology and brain tumor identification. Today ultrasound has medical applications in every area of the body and gives accurate results regarding overall structural composition, based on the density and transmission of the sound waves through biological tissue. Along with the conventional black and white ultrasound imaging systems, the global market also has high potential for color Doppler and 3D/4D imaging systems. The imaging clarity and diagnostic abilities offered by recent ultrasound devices is predicted to give a thrust to the overall global diagnostic market; this will also support other imaging technologies such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Computed Tomography, and PET/SPECT.

Ultrasound frequencies ranging between 0.8 MHz - 3.3 MHz have found use in therapeutic application in ablation of tissue. The ultrasound energy focused and directed towards unwanted tissue is transmitted harmlessly through the upper layers of tissue and focused only on the target area. This raises the temperature of the tissue, as a large amount of sonic energy is deposited within. As living cells are not able to dissipate the heat created quickly enough, the temperature rises above the survival threshold and the cells finally die due to coagulation necrosis. Cell death is also caused by cavitation, which is the implosion of microscopic bubbles inside the cell, thus leading to destruction of the cellular wall.

The diagnostic and therapeutic ultrasound segments consist of highly advanced technologies used for imaging and treating a variety of medical conditions. The ultrasound imaging modality is a harmless non-invasive technique. There are no side-effects associated with its use, as researched in the past few years. Obstetrics and gynecology is the most popular application for ultrasound imaging; it has popularized ultrasound greatly and is one of the reasons people are familiar with the technology.

Although the current market is dominated by 2D, 3D & 4D ultrasound market is highly technologically driven, competitive and poised to become significant in size. The global market is driven by increasing application areas in oncology, cardiology and emergency medicine. The diagnostic market accounts for a much larger share since the technology is more mature than newly developed technologies such as HIFU.

Ultrasound also has other applications in movement detection for security, structural integrity of constructions, detection of wielding cracks, navigation and ranging in military and astronomy.

The 2011 global market is estimated to be at $5.6 billion and is predicted to grow at a CAGR of 6.2% to reach $8.1 billion by 2017.  Cart-based systems command the largest share of the ultrasound systems and are predicted to remain so for the coming decade. Devices such as Vscan (GE Healthcare), Acuson p10 (Siemens) and by other niche players such as Mobisante (U.S.) are expected to propel the growth of the hand-held segment of ultrasound devices. Meanwhile, the market such as High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) and lithotripters is driven by the increasing demand from changing trends in fields such as cosmetology, ablative procedures, and lithography applications in kidney stones, bladder stones and others.

The global diagnostic market is led by key market players such as GE Healthcare (U.K.), Philips Healthcare (The Netherlands), Siemens Healthcare (Germany), Esaote Group (Italy), Toshiba Medical Systems Corporation (Japan), HITACHI-Aloka Medical Corporation (Japan), SonoSite, Inc.

Pharmacogenomics And Pharmacogenomics Market By 2017

The basic aim of Pharmacogenomics is to develop a relation between drug therapy and genetic structure of human which helps to optimize drug therapy with respect to patients genetic structure to maximize efficacy and minimize side effects.
so sometimes it is referred as "Personalized Medicine".

we can define it as :

Pharmacogenomics is the technology that analyses how Drug responses to an individual according to their genetic structure.

It analyse the influence of genetic variation of individual to the drug response by correlating gene expression (the process which is used in synthesis of various functions on the basis of gene information ) or  single nucleotide  polymorphism with drug toxicity or efficacy.

Basically variations in genetic structure,lifestyle of individual,environmental conditions of particular region,severity and type of disease affect on the treatment by individual basis.So genetic tests assists to determine best possible deug therapies and treatment protocol.
there are two types of input can be used to provide pharmacogenomics based on recommendation for a given drug that are 

  1. Genotyping :  It is the process which determine the differences in the genetic structure of an individual's DNA sequence by comparing it with the reference sequence.
  2. genome sequencing : It is the symbolic linear depiction of organism's hereditary information.  

Basic Goals of pharmacogenomics 

  1. Focus On prevention not on reactions
  2. Enhance safety of drugs
  3. optimize Drug Therapy
  4. Improve compliance of patient
  5. Reduce Cost of healthcare

Applications:

  1. Pharmacogenomics has applications in various diseases like Cancer,depression,HIV,tuberculosis,asthma,diabetes,cardiovascular disorder,etc
  2. in cancer treatment these tests are used to identify which patients give best responce to which treatments.
  3. pharmacogenomic tests provide various tools for physicians better management of medicine and there side effects on individual basis.
  4. pharmacogenomic is also known as Companion diagnostics means tests are bundled with various drugs.
  5. Beside efficacy,pharmacogenetics can help to identify toxicities of drug.

Global Market Of Pharmacogenomics:
