Global Report on Sterilization Market - Industry Segment and Forecast, 2013 - 2019

The term sterilization refers to any procedure that helps in destroying all forms of microbial life and transmissible agents. Transmissible agents are bacteria, fungi, spore forms and virus. These micro-organisms and transmissible agents are present on the surface of medical instruments, contained in medication, fluid and biological culture media. Sterilization helps in making these culture media infection free by applying heat, pressure, chemical and filtration. This process disables the infectious protein like prions of the micro-organism and hence results in infection free medium.
Sterilization is achieved through various methods such as steam sterilization, heat sterilization, chemical sterilization, radiation and sterile filtration. In steam and heat sterilization, the artifacts which are to be sterilized are placed in a steel container and subjected to high temperature. These containers are incorporated with numerous parts that help in maintaining temperature and pressure inside the container. In chemical sterilization, various chemicals such as ethylene oxide, nitrogen dioxide, bleach, ozone, phthalaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, formaldehyde, hydrogen peroxide, peracetic acid, and silver are used. In radiation sterilization, rays like gamma, ultraviolet, electron beam and X-rays are used. These processes may sometime destroy liquid medium along with the micro-organism. To overcome this situation, sterile filtration is performed where the fluids are passed through very minute pores whose size ranges from 20 to 50 nm. These small pores do not allow the micro-organism to pass since size of these organisms is larger than the pores.
This market is expected to grow due to rise in safety processes of the various medical institution and research laboratories. In addition rise in number of surgeries and would consequently increase the demand of infection free instruments. In addition, drug preparations also require high sterile medium which would also augment the growth of this market. Moreover, the governments have made stringent rules for various medical institutes to sterile instruments after every use which would also trigger the growth of this market.
Some of the market players in this industry segment are Roche, Pfizer, Becton Dickinson, Advanced Sterilization Products, Belimed AG and bioMerieux amongst other significant players.

Measles also referred to as morbilli or rubeola is an infection caused by virus known as paramyxovirus which belongs to genus morbillivirus. Measles is an infection of immune system, respiratory system and skin. It is a highly contagious respiratory disease, typically occurring due to more than 90% of the household contacts and more than 50% contact in the day care centers or school. Measles is observed to be spread through respiratory contact with infected person’s nose and mouth fluid or directly through aerosol transmission. Initially patients infected with show symptoms such as cough, inflamed eyes, fever, sore throat, fever, runny nose, and red blotchy skin rash. Later, with the disease progression the patients show symptoms of diarrhea, pneumonia and spot like rashes that covers the entire body. Among all the measles case reported only 10% of the cases are complicated and for every ten children developing encephalitis measles die and up to four show permanent brain damage. Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE), which causes progressive brain degeneration is a late complication of measles and occurs in about 1 in 25,000 cases.
Measles is commonly a disease of children and in most of the developed countries children are immunized against measles by the age of 18 months. Measles vaccines are generally part of MMR vaccine (mumps, measles and rubella) vaccine. The vaccination is generally not prescribed before 18 months as sufficient amount of immunoglobulins are acquired by the new born through mother’s placenta. A second dose of vaccine is usually administered during the age of four and five, to increase the rate of immunity. Hence, in developed countries to control the prevalence of measles vaccination rate are high. However, in developing countries two doses of measles vaccination are prescribed at the age of six months and two months. In addition to vaccination, serological diagnosis is also performed for the identification of measles infection. In these test diagnosis of IgG and IgM antibodies is performed for the diagnosis of infection. The global market for measles testing can be segmented on the basis of diagnostic tests, instruments, technologies and end users.

The image guidance systems also help in seamless procedure planning, thus reducing chances of error and also minimizing procedure time. With image guided systems, overall productivity is increased and being minimally invasive, allows quick recovery and shorter hospital stay. The technique was initially developed for neurosurgeries, which is one of the most critical procedures. ENT surgeries still remain the main area of application of image guided surgery systems. Major indications where image guided surgery can be performed are sinus surgery, and treatment of diseases which critical areas of cerebrum where chances of error must be minimum. Oncology is a major area of application of image guided surgery, where various methods are tried and tested for efficient treatment. With the development of technology and optimization of procedures, image guided surgery is expected to be the main stay for neurological surgeries, especially in treatment of brain tumor.
Ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed topography (CT) are majorly applied in image guidance systems. Fluorescence image guided surgery is also becoming popular, as it cost effective as compared to other devices, but poor depth penetration is a restraint. Fluorescent dyes are used to stain the abnormal tissues and light with different filters is used for visualization. Indocyanine green and methylene blue are commonly used dyes for fluorescence image guided surgery. This technology has been further refined by combining it with endoscopy devices. Robot assisted surgeries have also helped in minimizing errors during surgery and have also helped surgeons to carry out critical surgeries effectively.
These robot assisted systems are also combined with image guided surgery systems. Brainlab manufactured Curve Image Guided Surgery Systems and MAKO manufactured MAKOplasty systems are few examples of latest technology robot assisted image guided surgery systems. Advent of high definition (HD) and three dimensional (3D) visualization systems have further revolutionized the image guided surgery systems by improving image quality and improving depth perception. Ergonomic and miniaturized devices have made procedures convenient to surgeons. These factors will increase the adoption of image guided surgery systems and hence assist market growth.
Statistics published by National Cancer Institute, U.S. indicate that there were more than 150,000 individuals diagnosed with some type of cancer of nervous system including brain cancer in the U.S. alone. The statistics also estimated approximately 14,000 new cases may arise by 2014 in the U.S. According to a healthcare website, MedIndia, primary brain tumor accounts for 20% of the cancers in pediatrics in India. Such high prevalence and ever increasing burden will increase the customer base for image guided surgery market globally.

2019 Strategies for Respiratory Syncytial Virus Diagnostic Testing Industry

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes infection of respiratory system (lungs and breathing passage). It may also affect heart and immune system resulting in more serious illnesses (e.g. tachypnea, cyanosis).Premature infants (30-40 days) and children (less than 2 year of age) are at the highest risk of this infection. According to the U.S. Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), RSV is the common cause of bronchiolitis or pneumonia in the children under one year of age in the United States. Each year 75,000 to 125,000 children are hospitalized due to RSV infections. This Infection can result from the direct (i.e. kiss, touch or shake hands with infected person) or indirect contact (i.e. contact with sneeze, cough or blows of infected person)with the infected person. Mild headache, runny nose, cough and sore throat are some of the common symptoms of RSV viral infections. Diagnosis of these infections is facilitated by specific tests like polymerase chain reaction assay, molecular probes, chest radiography. Physicians also administer intubation (breathing tube), mechanical ventilation or some antibiotics (like palivizumab) in order to treat the patients with RSV infections.
Increasing incidences of childhood pneumonia, acts as one of the major factors to drive the growth of RSV diagnostic testing market. According to the data enumerated by World Health Organization (WHO), in 2010, approximately 1.1 million people in the United States were hospitalized with pneumonia and 50,000 people died from this disease. In addition, crowded population and unhygienic environment (dirty premises, unhygienic eating places) may increase the chances of RSV infection thereby resulting in increased need and demand for effective RSV diagnostic tests. However, high number of other pathogens that may cause similar symptoms of respiratory illness and lack of availability of specific treatment options to curb this infection may restrain the growth of this market.
