Emergence of Covid-19 Increases Cases of Mania and Depression, Thereby Boosting Demand ... - 0 views

  •  
    Anti-suicide drugs are the most commonly used pharmaceuticals that are prescribed for the treatment of schizophrenia and other mood disorders. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved these medications in 1970. They are usually called antipsychotic medications. Although they are very helpful in controlling both the mania and depression, this medicine can prove to be very dangerous if taken in high doses even without an anesthetic. These medications are meant for temporary use only, therefore, care should be taken when using it so as not to cause any harmful side effects on the patient's health. Hence, people who have other illnesses should avoid using these medications. Antidepressants such as Clomipramine and Anafranil (Anafranil or Elavil) are some of the most commonly prescribed medications in the treatment for acute and chronic pain. They are effective in relieving the patient's discomfort and can also help him to come up with his life. However, there are reported cases where patients have experienced severe side effects such as confusion, hallucinations, drowsiness, dizziness, agitation, insomnia, and pupil contraction. Some patients may also experience headache, upset stomach, nausea, and diarrhea. Although these medications are very effective, they also have a number of side effects on the patient's health such as irregular heartbeat, blurred vision, and chest pain. Medications such as Carbamazepine, Lamotrigine, and Phenytoin are also known anti-suicide drugs. These medications act in a different way from other types of drugs. They work by altering the protein structures of neurons in the brain. Because of this, the patient's level of consciousness also differs from the patient who takes conventional antidepressant medications.

Biosimilars and Impact of Covid-19 Pandemic That Led To Manufacturing Disruptions and D... - 0 views

  •  
    Biosimilars, also known as biologic products, are currently the fastest growing category of medical products in the United States, with sales estimated at more than $40 billion dollars annually. When prescribed by doctors, these products may provide more effective treatment options for patients suffering from a chronic disease or condition. In late August, the FDA held a forum on biosimilars. The topic was "biosimilar medications - what are they, how do they work, and are they safe and effective." Representatives from the FDA, pharmaceutical companies, and biotechnology organizations attended the forum. The forum included individuals who are leading the charge to register biosimilar products for clinical trials. According to the FDA, the agency will begin accepting applications for biologic drugs in late fall of 2020. In Japan, various manufacturers are focused on developing pipelines that contain biosimilar candidates aimed at treating various therapeutic conditions for patients in Japan. For instance, in December 2020, Alvotech and Japanese pharmaceutical company Fuji Pharma agreed on an extension on their exclusive strategic partnership for the commercialization of four biosimilar medicines in Japan.

Emergence of Covid-19 to Offer Lucrative Growth Opportunities for Players in Protein A ... - 0 views

  •  
    Protein A colorimetric resins are the most extensively used affinity purifiers in bio-manufacturing and other industries. Protein A colorimetry is a robust, high-throughput chromatography method and is used primarily as a capture step because of its inherent precision. Approval and launch of new biosimilars is expected to propel growth of the protein A resin market. For instance, in December 2020, Sandoz Canada Inc., a generics and biosimilars manufacturer and a division of the Switzerland-based multinational Novartis AG, received Health Canada authorization for Hyrimoz (adalimumab injection, reference biologic drug: Humira) on November 4, 2020 for marketing in Canada. Hyrimoz, the new biosimilar, has been approved for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, adult Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, hidradenitis suppurativa, psoriasis and adult uveitis. Moreover, high prevalence of chronic diseases is also expected to aid in growth of the protein A resin market. For instance, according to the American Cancer Society, in 2019, there will be an estimated 1,762,450 new cancer cases diagnosed and 606,880 cancer deaths in the U.S. Read more @ https://coherentmarketinsights-blog.blogspot.com/2020/12/emergence-of-covid-19-to-offer_23.html

Emergence of Covid-19 Adversely Impacts API Production, Thereby Leading to Short Supply... - 0 views

  •  
    A pharmaceutical drug is a chemical substance that is used to cure, diagnose, treat, or protect disease. Some pharmaceutical drugs are sold in pharmacies and some are sold over-the-counter or as over-the-counter medications. Prescription drugs have many different applications, including the treatment of certain illnesses, but they also come in various forms that range from capsules, tablets, liquids, and lotions. One of the most popular and major types of pharmaceutical drugs is the oral form. These are drugs that can be taken by swallowing, which means that they need to pass through the stomach into the upper intestines where they are metabolized and digested into other substances. It is important to note that a certain amount of stomach acid is normal in the intestines and it helps digest food. Another popular type of pharmaceutical drug is an injectable. These are available as intravenous fluids and can be injected into a vein or through a catheter to deliver drugs to the body. Many people opt for these drugs because of their convenience and ability to be delivered right to where they need it. There are also synthetic drugs that can be used to treat many of the problems faced by the body. These drugs are sometimes more expensive than the ones prescribed from a doctor but are considered to be safer since they do not have as many side effects. Also, some of these drugs are more reliable than the prescription medication provided by a doctor.

Single-use Medical Device Reprocessing is Witnessing Massive Boom with the Outbreak of ... - 0 views

  •  
    Single-use medical device reprocessing refers to cleaning, disinfection, testing, sterilization, and remanufacturing of a used medical device to be put in service again. The reuse of single-use medical devices first began in the late 1970s. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), around 20 to 30% of the U.S. hospitals reported having reused at least one type of single-use device. The reuse of single-use devices involves ethical, regulatory, legal, medical, and economic issues, which have faced controversy in the last two decades. The reuse of single-use medical devices has increased typically due to the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. In general, there are two categories of products that can be reused: active and inert. Active products are required for making new products, while inert products are used for making old products stronger, newer, longer-lasting, and more effective. The useful products that are generated are called inert products. These are products that have a certain amount of value because of their function. They are available in different forms like paper, paperboard, metals, plastic, etc. These products can either be reclaimed from the environment, or produced by industries and used for manufacturing purposes. The mobile devices that need to be recycled for single-use medical device reprocessing include diagnostic devices, sterilization equipment, biopsy instruments, blood glucose analyzers, blood pressure monitors, disposable gloves, medical imaging devices, and many more.

Sterilization Equipment and Disinfectants Gaining Significant Traction Due to Ongoing C... - 0 views

  •  
    The process of sterilization and disinfection has always been crucial in maintaining optimum hygiene in any given setting. However, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has heightened the importance of these processes. Sterilization refers to any process that removes, eradicates, or kills all forms of life particularly, fungi, bacteria, viruses, spores, etc. Sterilization equipment and disinfectants are crucial in modern medical care as patients come in contact with syringes, surgical tools, and bandages all time. These medical devices eliminate any foreign particles, pus, blood, and dirt left behind that could create complications for the next patient requiring surgery. Besides, it decreases bioburden and prevents corrosion of expensive and highly precise tools. There are different sterilization processes performed including steam sterilizing, flash sterilizing, low-temperature sterilizing, hydrogen peroxide gas plasma, ethylene oxide gas sterilization, peracetic acid sterilization, etc. Many regulatory authorities have issued guidelines on how to sterilize medical equipment. The hospitals refer to it as a germ warfare strategy and it is done in a specific order. The first step is cleaning followed by disinfection which involves using liquid chemicals to kill non-spore-forming bacteria. The final step is sterilizing where several methods are employed to kill disease-causing microorganisms and also eradicate transmissible agents such as spores and bacteria.
