These devices help with the expansion of the lung and clear the accumulation of excess mucus thereby allowing the patient to breathe properly. The use of various forms of airway clearance devices is expected to see a rise with the widespread high prevalence of cystic fibrosis.</p><p></p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8028317460,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8028317460,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="8028317460?profile=original" /></a></p><p></p><p>Improvement in healthcare policies in different countries has increased the affordability for various medical and treatment facilities, which in effect has improved people's life expectancy. The burgeoning aging population would boost the number of people diagnosed with asthma and COPD. The overall treatment of asthma and COPD after age 65 is highly crucial and troublesome. People over 65 who have been diagnosed with asthma and COPD cannot take liquid medication.</p><p></p><h2><strong>What are airway clearance systems?</strong></h2><p><a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/airway-clearance-system-market/">Airway clearance systems</a> are physical or mechanical methods to simplify the elimination of tracheobronchial phlegm by external or internal airflow control and phlegm removal through coughing. These products release the thick, sticky mucus of the lung so that coughing can clear it. Clearing the mucus from the airways helps to reduce diseases in the lungs and improve lung function. These airway clearance systems are used to treat various conditions such as emphysema, cystic fibrosis, neuromuscular, bronchiectasis, and others.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Types of airway clearance systems:</strong></h2><h3><strong>Positive Expiratory Pressure (PEP)</strong></h3><p>PEP therapy is intended to help open narrowed airways with air pressure. PEP therapy requires a mouthpiece or mask attached to a regulator, where the patient is advised to breathe naturally, but to remove the air more vigorously than they would usually do, helping to bring the mucus out. Adjunctive treatment using a supportive expiratory pressure (PEP) system increases the duration of hospital stays in patients using acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD).</p><p></p><h3><strong>Intrapulmonary Percussive Ventilators</strong></h3><p>Airway clearing methods are frequently suggested as part of the management of chronic obstructive airway diseases. Intrapulmonary percussive ventilation (IPV) is used as an airway clearing procedure in patients affected by unnecessary lung secretions.</p><p></p><p>Intrapulmonary percussive ventilation (IPV) is the product of high-frequency percussive ventilation, which was originally used to treat respiratory distress following smoke inhalation or burns. It is a pressure-limited, time-cycled, high-frequency ventilation mode that delivers sub physiological tidal volumes. After its conception, IPV has been increasingly used in patients affected by prolonged respiratory secretions or for the treatment of atelectasis.</p><p></p><h3><strong>High-Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation (HFCWO)</strong></h3><p>The HFCWO technology is used to produce a fast-repeating air pulse, alternately gripping and relaxing the upper body. Each squeeze simulates a "mini cough," which helps to remove the mucus from the walls of the airways and then move it to the wider airways where it can be coughed out. The device is designed to optimize convenience and ensure ease of use.</p><p></p><p>Like any treatment, the aim is to ensure the quality of life and so we have uniquely built a single hose system that lets us handle a smoother start and an accurate inflate and deflate. This technology increases the patient's comfort. The soft-start allows patients to properly acclimate to therapy so that they are not given a quick hard 'hug' and the aggressive inflate and deflate acclimates the patient to therapy by allowing the clothing to contour the chest cavity.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Airway clearance systems applications:</strong></h2><h3><strong>Airway clearance systems for emphysema</strong></h3><p>Emphysem is a lung disease that causes shortness of breath. Airbags in the lungs (alveoli) are impaired in people with emphysema. Over time, the inner walls of the airbags are cracking and breaking — creating wider air gaps instead of much smaller ones.</p><p></p><p>A portable system facilitates flexibility for patients who are more mobile and who want to maintain mobility. Patients will wear the device when cooking, going to the garage, gardening, and planning for the day. The benefit of a mobile product is that it lets the user perform therapy when doing everyday life activities. The program helps patients achieve a higher quality of life when dealing with chronic conditions such as COPD.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Airway clearance systems for bronchiectasis</strong></h3><p>Bronchiectasis is an incurable respiratory disease characterized by excessive swelling and enlargement of the bronchi and bronchioles, the larger airways of the lungs. Effective treatment of this disorder may increase the quality of life of a patient and the related symptoms, and respiratory therapists (RTs) may play an important role in the care of patients with bronchiectasis.</p><p></p><p>Airway clearance systems can have positive effects on patients with bronchiectasis. Airway clearance treatment is a vital aspect of the routine control of bronchiectasis, improving the opportunity to clean up secretions and reduce respiratory problems during the day. Both results help reduce the risk of contracting a person's chest infection and increase the likelihood of sustaining a successful workout and activity regimen that encourages a healthy respiratory reserve.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Airway clearance systems for neuromuscular applications</strong></h3><p>Respiratory dysfunction is the leading cause of morbidity and death in patients with neuromuscular and neurological disorders and elderly patients with decreased lung capacity due to the weakening of the respiratory system along with natural aging. Although the normally stable elderly patient is typically asymptomatic, their pulmonary capacity is often weakened in difficult conditions such as chemotherapy, infection, or exacerbation of a comorbid condition.</p><p></p><p>The failure to remove effectively stored secretions and to resist aspiration leads to this compromise. While no secretion-management treatment has been established as having particular relevance to the elderly, physicians must be vigilant to consider the needs of the elderly to avoid the creation of respiratory compromises. Patients with the neuromuscular disorder are often unable to generate effective cough to stimulate and evacuate secretions.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Airway clearance systems technology advancements and industry trends</strong></h2><h3><strong>Increasing prevalence of Lung diseases such as COPD</strong></h3><p>Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic life-threatening lung disorder that causes breathlessness (beginning with exertion) and predisposes to aggravation and severe disease. In 2016, the Global Burden of Disease Study revealed a prevalence of 251 million COPD cases worldwide. Globally, it is estimated that the disease caused 3.17 million deaths in 2015 (that is, 5 percent of all deaths worldwide in that year). In low-and middle-income countries, more than 90% of COPD deaths have been recorded. Exposure to cigarette smoke is the leading cause of COPD. Many risk factors include exposure to air pollution indoors and outdoors, and occupational dust and fumes.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare to improve cystic fibrosis treatment</strong></h3><p>About 100,000 individuals worldwide have cystic fibrosis (CF). People born with a disease have an estimated life expectancy of just 40 years. CF is a genetic disease that affects the body's various organ systems. Nonetheless, it's generally a lung condition that shortens life expectancy. Mucus covers the airways in the lungs, providing a perfect condition for infection and inflammation. Such processes of infection and inflammation eventually destroy the lungs to such an extent that transplantation is the only treatment alternative.</p><p></p><p>Optimal clinical treatment of inherited genetic disorders, such as cystic fibrosis (CF), involves a complex solution such as artificial intelligence. Technology updates treatments to meet the changing nature of the disease and to customize medications and dosages for specific patients. The chronic progressive nature of CF and variability among patients have contributed to difficulties in designing optimal regimens. Adaptive individualized treatment offers a method as a way of meeting these goals.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Airway clearance systems demand during the coronavirus pandemic</strong></h3><p>A coronavirus strain that has just been detected is called SARS-CoV-2. The disease it causes is called Coronavirus Disease 2019; or COVID-19. Although the virus was first detected in China, it can, like other viruses, be transmitted to and from anyone. Common colds are caused by coronaviruses, as is the case for many respiratory disorders that have been seen in the past, including SARS and MERS. The virus is thought to spread through contact between those in close contact with each other, or respiratory droplets while a person is coughing.</p><p></p><p>Transmitting the virus from a contaminated surface might be possible, although this is not thought to be the primary way the virus spreads. The number of confirmed COVID 19 cases has been increasing over the last few days and there is no doubt it will continue. As someone with such a chronic lung disease and a weakened immune system, considering the introduction of airway clearance systems has become important for humans. With the spread of such a virus and many other forms of flu, a regular airway clearance becomes necessary.</p><p></p><p><strong>Free Valuable Insights:</strong> <a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/news/airway-clearance-system-market/">Global Airway Clearance System Market to reach a market size of USD 774.7 million by 2025</a></p><p></p><h2><strong>The bottom line</strong></h2><p>In most chronic lung disease cases, their health relies on the continuous removal of airway secretions. As such, emerging technical advances in this field are important for healthcare practitioners to optimize patient satisfaction and outcomes, improve respiratory safety, and reduce costs. Recent developments, such as moving towards home healthcare, have shaped these new technologies and will continue to impact the industry in the future.</p></div>Deep Brain Stimulation Devices For Brain Disordershttps://globalriskcommunity.com/profiles/blogs/deep-brain-stimulation-devices-for-brain-disorders2020-05-07T09:41:14.000Z2020-05-07T09:41:14.000ZKBV Researchhttps://globalriskcommunity.com/members/KBVResearch<div><p>Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has emerged as a surgical procedure used to treat several disabling neurological symptoms — most commonly weakened motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD), such as tremor, stiffness, stiffness, slow motion, and walking problems. The treatment is also used to treat critical tremor, dystonia, and focal epilepsy (epilepsy that originates in just one part of the brain). At present, the treatment is only used by people whose symptoms cannot be sufficiently managed by medicine. However, only persons who develop to any degree after taking Parkinson's medications benefit from DBS.</p><p></p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8028317671,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8028317671,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="8028317671?profile=original" /></a></p><p></p><h2><strong>What is the deep brain stimulation technology?</strong></h2><p><a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/deep-brain-stimulation-devices-market/">Deep brain stimulation</a> uses a battery-operated, surgically implanted medical device called an implantable pulse generator (IPG)—similar to a cardiac pacemaker and around the size of a stopwatch — to deliver electrical stimulation to different areas of the brain that regulate movement, thus suppressing irregular nerve signals that trigger symptoms. There are three components of the DBS system: the lead, the extension, and the IPG.</p><p></p><p>The lead (also known as an electrode)—a thin, insulated wire — is threaded through a narrow gap in the skull and implanted in the brain. The tip of the electrode is located within a particular part of the brain. The extension is an elastic wire that runs through the skin of the head, back, and shoulder, linking the lead to the implantable pulse generator. The third part is the IPG (the battery pack), which is usually inserted underneath the skin near the collarbone. It can be inserted lower in the chest or below the skin over the abdomen in some cases.</p><p></p><h2><strong>How does deep brain stimulation work?</strong></h2><p>DBS uses electrical stimulation to monitor electrical signals in neural pathways to and from specified regions of the brain to enhance movement symptoms. Thus, if DBS causes undesirable side effects or newer, more successful treatments evolve in the future, the implantable pulse generator can be removed and the DBS process can be halted. Also, stimulation from the IPG is conveniently adjustable — without more surgery — if the state of the individual improves. Some people label the pulse generator adjustment as "programming."</p><p></p><p>DBS involves minor permanent surgical changes to the brain. While minimally invasive, DBS is a surgical procedure with some associated risk. There is a slight risk that the stimulator can cause bleeding or infection in the brain. Complications can involve bleeding and inflammation of brain tissue, hallucinations, epilepsy, and temporary postoperative pain.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Deep brain stimulation for various disorders and diseases:</strong></h2><h3><strong>Essential tremor</strong></h3><p>Essential tremor (ET) is a movement disorder commonly known by an uncontrollable tremor in various areas and on various sides of the body. Areas often affected include arms, hands, head, tongue, chin, and other parts. The lower body is affected in rare cases. Tremors can be caused by a number of other disorders or lifestyle influences. The timing of the tremor is what separates them. Minimally invasive approaches, like deep brain stimulation, can help to "deactivate" the part of the brain where there is a major tremor.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Parkinson’s disease</strong></h3><p>Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative condition in the United States after Alzheimer's disease. Most patients diagnosed with PD are 60 years of age or older, although an additional 5 to 10% of patients with PD are diagnosed before the age of 50. Approximately 500,000 Americans are diagnosed with PD, but considering that many people are undiagnosed or misdiagnosed, the real figure is estimated to be much greater. Some analysts claim that as many as one million Americans have PD.</p><p></p><p>Despite the progressive nature of PD-associated disorders, the disorder affects thousands of mothers, husbands, children, and other caregivers. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) can reduce tremor, fatigue, fatigue, and increase mobility. However, a lot of work remains to be done. These treatments have drawbacks, despite their many achievements. There is no effective treatment that delays the progression of the underlying condition or effectively relieves a wide variety of symptoms in patients with more severe PD.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Epilepsy</strong></h3><p>Epilepsy is a brain disorder characterized by various types of seizures. Seizures occur due to disruption of normal electrical activity in the brain, with varying results. Epilepsy may be as subtle as someone looking blankly into space for a brief time. And it may include losing control, collapsing to the ground, and getting body-shaking convulsions. Only what it means to have a seizure varies greatly. Several forms of seizures, including signs and severity, are related to epilepsy.</p><p></p><p>Deep brain stimulation has been used for several years to relieve the tremor and weakness of Parkinson's disease, although this is a new therapeutic option for epilepsy. DBS is used to control epilepsy when seizures have not responded to certain methods of treatment. This is a procedure in which a wire is continuously inserted in the brain and receives electrical signals from a pacemaker-like system embedded in the abdomen. For certain patients, deep brain stimulation does not entirely stop seizures, but can substantially reduce seizures.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Emerging technologies for improved deep brain stimulation</strong></h2><p>Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective therapy for certain movement disturbances and has been used to modulate neuronal activity by delivering electrical stimuli to main brain structures. The long-term efficacy of stimulation in the treatment of disorders such as Parkinson's disease and severe tremor has encouraged its application to a wide range of neurological and psychiatric conditions. Nonetheless, the use of DBS remains minimal, even in Parkinson's disease. Recent unsuccessful clinical trials of DBS in severe depression and positive treatment results in dementia and epilepsy are promoting further progress.</p><p></p><p>These advancements concentrate on interaction with disease circuits through complementary, spatial, and temporally specific approaches. Spatial specificity is encouraged by the use of segmented electrodes and field guidance, and temporal specificity includes the transmission of pattern stimulus, often guided by disease-related feedback. Such advances underpin fundamental research into brain structure-function relations and aberrant circuit patterns, including modern approaches for determining and improving the therapeutic effects of stimulation.</p><p></p><h2><strong>To conclude</strong></h2><p>One of the most important drivers of market growth for deep brain stimulators is the increased population demand for minimally invasive surgeries. DBS is a minimally invasive, controlled surgery commonly used to treat dystonia movement disturbances, Parkinson’s disease, and critical tremor.</p><p></p><p><strong>Free Valuable Insights:</strong> <a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/news/deep-brain-stimulation-devices-market/">Global Deep Brain Stimulation Devices Market to reach a market size of USD 2.3 billion by 2025</a></p><p></p><p>Minimally invasive procedures offer many benefits over conventional surgical methods, such as faster periods of recovery, smaller incisions, decreased scarring, and pain. Hence, these procedures are in high demand due to various patient benefits. Furthermore, less invasive surgery often shows a higher rate of precision relative to conventional surgical procedures in some cases.</p></div>Sleep Apnea Devices And Technology Trends For Treatment Of Sleeping Disordershttps://globalriskcommunity.com/profiles/blogs/sleep-apnea-devices-and-technology-trends-for-treatment-of2020-05-06T10:39:34.000Z2020-05-06T10:39:34.000ZKBV Researchhttps://globalriskcommunity.com/members/KBVResearch<div><p>Sleep apnea devices have become an evolving technology, especially in the last few decades. The prevalence of sleep disorders is growing, and sleep centers are growing to address the needs of hospitals and the private care environment. Sleep medicine provides evidence-based recommendations for diagnosing and treating sleep disturbances. Nevertheless, the number of sleep centers and caregivers in this field is not enough. Many new technologies have been created for recording sleep and diagnosing sleep disorders.</p><p></p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8028316892,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8028316892,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="8028316892?profile=original" /></a></p><p></p><h2><strong>Sleep apnea disorder and the therapeutic technologies</strong></h2><p>Several <a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/sleep-apnea-devices-market/">sleep disorders</a> are chronic and need continuous treatment and therapy success monitoring. Cost-efficient technologies for initial diagnosis and follow-up of treatment are critical. It is precisely here that telemedicine technology can meet the requirements of diagnostic and therapy follow-up studies. Wireless recording of sleep and associated biosignals facilitates diagnostic tools and follow-up treatment to be easily accessible conveniently available.</p><p>In addition, sleep research requires novel technologies to explore underlying sleep control mechanisms in order to further explain the pathophysiology of sleep disorders. Home recording and non-obtrusive recording with telemedicine methods over extended periods support this research. Telemedicine enables the monitoring of minor subject activity under normal and experimental life conditions.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Therapeutic sleep apnea therapeutic devices:</strong></h2><h3><strong>Oral devices</strong></h3><p>Oral appliance therapy is used to treat snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. It includes keeping a removable oral appliance in your mouth when you sleep. The device fits like a sports mouthguard or an orthodontic bracket. The oral appliance stops the airway from closing either by holding the tongue or by keeping the jaw in the forward position. Over-the-counter devices are not used as medical options for snoring or obstructive sleep apnea.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Chin straps</strong></h3><p>The chin strap, usually made of stretchy neoprene, helps hold the jaw and mouth shut and enable the snorer to breathe freely through the nasal passage. Chin straps are also used for sleep apnea. Studies using chin straps alone as a snoring and sleep apnea therapy was far from systematic. An anti-snoring chin strap comes with a lot of advantages. Most significantly, this proves to be a non-invasive treatment choice. Many devices, such as TSDs and MADs, need to be put into the mouth. This means constant cleaning and the ability to disturb sleep patterns.</p><p></p><h3><strong>PAP devices</strong></h3><p>Positive airway pressure machines, used in a number of breathing masks, are the most commonly available treatments for mild to extreme sleep apnea. The mask, worn snugly over the nose, or occasionally over the nose and mouth, during sleep, provides pressurized air that flows constantly or intermittently through the sleeper's throat. The increased air pressure stops the airway of the sleeper from collapsing.</p><p>Pressurized air is provided by a transparent tube from one of several types of machines: CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure), BiPAP (bilevel positive airway pressure), VPAP (variable positive airway pressure), and so on. Studies of the impact of PAP therapy suggest that patients with sleep apnea who regularly use their devices feel better and, as a result of decreased apnea and hypopnea symptoms during sleep, experience fewer problems with the disease.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Here’s how artificial intelligence is aiding in the treatment of sleep disorders</strong></h2><p>Artificial intelligence has already shown its potential in a number of ways, performing tedious, repetitive tasks in a dynamic world, enabling businesses to improve productivity and more. Today's routine lives are completely influenced by technology because it allows people a new opportunity to do their work. AI also offers healthcare professionals the ability to administer essential treatments with ease. Technology may now be leveraged to increase efficiency and accuracy in the treatment of sleep disorders, resulting in better care and enhanced patient outcomes.</p><p>As sleep centers gather large quantities of data, sleep treatment can be enhanced by AI and machine learning. These technologies can provide more reliable diagnoses, prevent disease and treatment predictions, classify subtypes of diseases, reliably scoring sleep, optimize and personalize sleep treatments. In this regard, AI can be used to automate sleep calculation when new information can be extracted from sleep information. The integration of AI into the practice of sleep medicine is based on transparent contact, testing on new information, and integration in the laboratory.</p><p></p><h2><strong>What’s trending in sleep apnea devices technology?</strong></h2><h3><strong>Home sleep apnea testing</strong></h3><p>The high prevalence of sleep apnea was an early trigger for the development and application of portable devices to allow HSAT. Sleep and waking, orona airflow, ventilation effort, oxygen saturation, and position of the body are distinct. While cardiorespiratory polysomnography remains the diagnostic standard, modern models of portable sleep apnea measuring devices with increased sensitivity and particularities have become increasingly accurate.</p><p>These are currently the first diagnostic methods for the treatment of sleep disorders. There are several different systems available and polysomnography validated. High sensitivity and high precision are important to test the accuracy quantitatively. Today's devices allow sensors themselves to be used at home by patients. When the patient enters a consultation, then the sleep physician or the sleep nurse has to clarify the management of the device, and then the patient may record the procedure at home.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Telemedicine methods in sleep medicine defined</strong></h3><p>The telemedicine applications available are to be used to a lesser extent in diagnostic procedures and a much greater extent in the evaluation of patient progress for sleep apnea therapy. Therefore, the area of telemedicine in sleep medicine is also seen as a very focused and limited area of use for telemedicine technology, which occupies only a very small part of the broad concept of "telemedicine" as "remote medicine."</p><p>Telemedicine is considered a therapeutic procedure and a tool. The implementations include wireless sleep tracking and sleeping activities, wireless breathing analysis, wireless data sharing for data processing, sleep and sleep apnea assessment using mobile devices, and telemedicine monitoring of therapeutics compliance for sleep apnea treatment patients. Device applications are often discussed briefly and the device is used as an alternative means of medical imaging and therapy. Additionally, consumer goods, typically based on smartphones or tablets, are commonly available to track or modify sleep.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Summing up</strong></h2><p>Sleep apnea devices market is going through an exponential growth due to the high incidence of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and increasing geriatric population. Sleep apnea is particularly prevalent in the elderly, however, it affects people of all ages and is one of the most common sleep disorders worldwide. The health effects of sleep apnea are very significant but under-recognized. Worldwide statistics show that sleep apnea affects more than 936 million people worldwide, which is almost 10 times greater than previous estimates.</p><p></p><p><strong>Free Valuable Insights:</strong> <a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/news/sleep-apnea-devices-market/">Global Sleep Apnea Devices Market to reach a market size of USD 8.8 billion by 2025</a></p><p></p><p>The global sleep apnea patient pool is also expected to expand in the coming years, with rising obesity worldwide. Changing habits also contribute to a rise in obesity prevalence across the globe, which is likely to lead to a substantial increase in the pool of patients with sleep apnea. This growing pool of patients provides the sleep apnea devices industry with high growth opportunities.</p></div>Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) Technology And Ongoing Trends Of The Industryhttps://globalriskcommunity.com/profiles/blogs/leak-detection-and-repair-ldar-technology-and-ongoing-trends-of2020-05-05T10:01:55.000Z2020-05-05T10:01:55.000ZKBV Researchhttps://globalriskcommunity.com/members/KBVResearch<div><p>Leak detection and repair (LDAR) regulations have been instituted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) due to the amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and volatile hazardous air contaminants (VHAPs) released by leakage equipment such as valves, pumps, and connectors in industries such as petroleum refining and chemical manufacturing.</p><p>To reduce emissions, the EPA has developed regulations and compliance programs. LDAR managers and technicians must follow simple LDAR protocols, such as Method 21 testing methods and configuration protocols for analysers, in order to keep their LDAR systems in compliance.</p><p></p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8028320882,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8028320882,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="8028320882?profile=original" /></a></p><p></p><h2><strong>All about the leak detection and repair (LDAR) technology</strong></h2><p>The <a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/leak-detection-and-repair-market/">leak detection and repair system</a> is a framework of procedures used by the facility to locate and fix leakage components, including valves, pumps, connections, compressors, and agitators, in order to reduce the emission of fugitive volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). The EPA is performing investigations and enforcing compliance measures in the petroleum refining and chemical processing sectors to check the minimization of VOC and HAP emissions. As a result of this EPA system, facilities of all sizes have been inspected.</p><p>Entry into enclosed spaces or areas where explosive or poisonous gasses can be present allows a gas monitor to be worn. Many areas present the same repetitive problems with regard to these gasses that need to be weighed, usually explosive gas, like LEL (lower explosive limits – methane, ethanol, etc.), loss of oxygen, carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulphide. Nonetheless, sometimes solvents or Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are present and a combination of standard sensor technology combined with PID technology can handle a much wider range of gas detection and provide higher levels of safety.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Leak detection and repair technologies:</strong></h2><h3><strong>VOC Analyzer</strong></h3><p>The new innovation in VOC measurement is the development of miniature PID sensors. A Photo Ionisation Detector in the Series 4/'A' Class Gas Sensor shell allows PID technology to be applied through a wide range of portable and fixed gas detection technologies. Incorporating the proprietary Fence Electrode Technology to improve resistance to moisture and corrosion, this system is now increasingly being used in portable confined space gas detectors.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Acoustic leak detector</strong></h3><p>Water leaks and main breaks are on the rise due to the degradation of the water infrastructure left unregulated. On average, these leaks run undetected for more than six months before they surface. As a result of undetected leakage, up to 15–30 percent of filtered drinking water is lost by leakage. Fortunately, water leak detection companies can detect leaks using a range of non-invasive acoustic leak detection technologies. These technologies allow utilities to identify leaks in difficult pipe types cost-effectively and efficiently without breaking ground or disrupting service — providing significant water-saving potential.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Optical gas imaging</strong></h3><p>Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) cameras can help in easily, reliably, and safely detection of methane, sulphur hexafluoride, and hundreds of other industrial gases, without shutting down systems. With OGI cameras, individuals can easily search large parts of equipment and survey areas that are hard to reach with conventional contact measurement devices. OGI cameras can also detect leaks from a safe distance, showing such invisible gasses as clouds of smoke.</p><p>Infrared (IR) thermal imaging cameras have been used for a range of oil and gas applications for decades, including electrical/mechanical inspections, tank level inspections, and even inspection of pipe integrity inside process equipment. In recent years, modern optical gas imaging (OGI) technology has been developed that can 'see' hydrocarbon gasses and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are venting or escaping into the atmosphere.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Ongoing industry trends and new technologies</strong></h2><h3><strong>The advent of smart water leak detectors</strong></h3><p>Smart water leak detectors are electronic sensors designed to detect water leakage and reduce the risk of water damage. Water leakage is one of the most common causes of damage to properties. Smart water leak detectors are small, soap-sized white boxes mounted on the floor near a water-bearing fixture, typically operating on long-lasting batteries, similar to a cigarette or CO2 detector. These sensors are internet-enabled devices, usually coupled with GPS chips and the Geographic Information System to detect and report water leakage and damage to end-users. They will send alerts directly to the user's phone when the sensor senses water or changes in temperature.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Advancements in pipeline monitoring and oil leakage detection technologies</strong></h3><p>Pipelines are commonly used for transporting hydrocarbon products for millions of miles around the world. The pipeline systems are designed to withstand a variety of environmental loading conditions in order to ensure a secure and efficient delivery from the point of production to the shore or to the delivery depot. Nevertheless, leakage to pipeline networks is one of the major causes of countless losses to pipeline operators and their existence.</p><p>Incidents of pipeline failure will result in serious ecological disasters, human casualties, and financial losses. In order to prevent this hazard and maintain a secure and efficient pipeline network, significant research efforts have been made to introduce the identification and location of pipeline leaks using a variety of approaches. Several methods for the identification of pipeline leaks have been developed over the last decades, using various working principles and approaches.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Developments in oil and gas pipeline infrastructure</strong></h3><p>In order to meet the increasing demand for oil and gas, pipeline infrastructure is being extended and new pipeline ventures are being built. In addition, a rise in offshore operations, such as deepwater and ultra-deepwater production and construction, is increasing the demand for oil and gas pipelines. Compressor stations play a significant part in the manufacturing and distribution of goods that travel into the pipeline. The growth in imports of crude oil has boosted over time the use of oil and gas pipelines.</p><p>Increased competition for and use of natural gas on a wide scale has also generated competition for these pipelines. There has also been a rise in global demand for oil and gas. The rising demand for an increasing population is projected to be a significant driver of the development of the oil and gas pipeline industry. Moreover, numerous technical developments have been made, which have further expanded the demand for oil and gas pipelines over the forecast period. It can be thus concluded that the growing market of oil and gas pipeline, followed by constant developments in the infrastructure, would boost the growth of the LDAR industry over the coming years.</p><p></p><h2><strong>To conclude</strong></h2><p>Fortunately, new technologies have enabled companies to detect leaks without the hassle and cost of digging your house. Using advanced leak detection technologies, the end-users can find the leak without doing any damage to property. The newer technologies are non-invasive and non-destructive, which means they ensure minimal mess post the entire detection and repair process. Leak detection systems don&#39;t just find the general area of the leak— they detect the precise location.

The standards for cleanroom technology products and processes are constantly evolving. Technological advancement leads to ever-shorter developments that make individual cleanroom solutions possible. Today, more and more businesses and industries are benefiting from development under clean-room conditions. Technological solutions for cleanroom technology must be often tailored to new processes.</p><p></p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8028316861,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8028316861,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="8028316861?profile=original" /></a></p><p></p><h2><strong>What is cleanroom technology?</strong></h2><p>Cleanroom technology requires both technological and operational measures to avoid the potential risk of contamination of products. A cleanroom is a controlled space of small amounts of contaminants such as dust, airborne bacteria, aerosol spores, and chemical vapours.</p><p>The cleanroom has a controlled level of contamination that is determined by the number of particles per cubic meter at the defined particle scale. Outdoor indoor air in a normal city setting produces 35,000,000 particles per cubic meter, 0.5 microns, and wider in diameter, equivalent to the cleanroom ISO 9 at the lowest point of cleanroom quality.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Cleanroom technology equipment:</strong></h2><h3><strong>Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning System (HVAC)</strong></h3><p>Heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) is a general term for indoor environmental comfort that produces indoor air quality (air change per hour, CFM, temperature, and humidity). HVAC means a lot more than convenience when it comes to clean rooms. The HVAC cleanroom monitors the temperature and humidity at an acceptable degree of accuracy, similar to the normal HVAC.</p><p>In addition to comfort, cleanroom HVACs differ from conventional systems by their increased air supply, airflow patterns, the use of high-efficiency filters and room pressurization. The increased air supply brings more air changes per hour with new HEPA filtered air flowing through the cleanroom many times per hour. Cleanroom HVAC projects shall include knowledge of laws, instructions on the degree of cleanliness, ventilation, room pressurization, temperature control, humidity control, and internal accounting.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Air shower and diffuser</strong></h3><p>A cleanroom air shower is designed to operate as a kind of portal device between a cleanroom and the rest of the world. When properly used, air showers can reduce the vast majority of possible toxins and help ensure that the product stays clean and uncontaminated. Today, air showers have become fairly widespread due to their benefits and relatively low costs.</p><p>A cleanroom air shower offers an additional layer of protection for the product and employees from any dangerous chemicals or pollutants that may find their way into your cleanroom. One case of too much particulate matter will result in a contaminated batch of pharmaceuticals or a malfunctioning piece of electrical equipment. Air shower functions to avoid these major issues from occurring. They are also a reminder to employees of the value of being free of particulate matter. And if the employee is not as careful as they would have been when contributing a suit, an air rinse will help ensure that all excess particulates are scrubbed away until they reach a pollutant-free room.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Laminar airflow unit</strong></h3><p>Clean rooms use chemical hoods and biological safety cabinets to maintain environmental requirements for laboratory environments. These systems are also part of the overall HVAC network located in the cleanroom area. Although proven to be very effective, fume hoods and safety cabinets can be expensive for installation and maintenance. The ductless laminar airflow hood is an affordable alternative to the hoods and cabinets equipped with costly exhaust systems.</p><p>Laminar airflow units do not have external connections outside the power cable, making it convenient to switch from room to room in a house. Portable flow hoods can be relocated in minutes where the HVAC ducted hood system may be inoperative for weeks due to relocation procedures. Freestanding space enclosures are vertical laminar structures designed to shield installations from air pollution in the space. These units saturate HEPA clean air tests, making them suitable for pipettes, equipment needing a clean environment, and clean rooms for product sampling in warehouses.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Cleanroom technology for various industries:</strong></h2><p>Cleanrooms are used in almost every industry where small particles can adversely impact the production process. They vary in size and complexity and are widely used in industries such as semiconductor manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, biotech, medical devices, and life sciences, as well as in critical process manufacturing common to aerospace, optics, military and energy departments.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Cleanroom technology for the medical device industry</strong></h3><p>Cleanroom technology design and performance play a significant role in the reliability and safety of the manufacture of medical devices. Medical device suppliers are under pressure to achieve both performance and high-quality specifications. Medical device producers must get their product into the market as soon as possible but cannot skimp on quality, as products must be completely compliant and licensed by the FDA before they can be put on the market. New inventions and more complex products — including nanotechnologies and system miniaturization — will pose new obstacles for manufacturers in the near future.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Cleanroom technology for the biotechnology industry</strong></h3><p>Biotechnology is growing as an industry and is of crucial significance to our ever-changing world. It is also an area where quality management is a key. Biotechnology Cleanrooms are tightly regulated, usually in compliance with ISO Class 5 or better regulations.</p><p>Biotechnology includes clean rooms and regulated environments that can precisely monitor the concentration of airborne contaminants as well as temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure. There are several biological Cleanroom applications in this field, including but not limited to: laboratories, production facilities, bio-exclusion zones, and animal breeding amenities.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Cleanroom technology for the pharmaceutical industry</strong></h3><p>There are several developments worth covering in the field of pharmaceutical cleanroom technology: both technological and regulatory developments. They are supported by a continuing trend towards universal international standards, not only on pollution and bio-contamination techniques but also on relevant issues such as air filtration.</p><p>The attempts to control micro-organisms, so competently handled by the pharmaceutical industry and clean-room equipment, are beginning to expand – and this is again a trend – to other fields of human efforts, such as hospital hygiene. Cleanroom technology is crucial to the manufacturing of sterile pharmaceutical products, as it guarantees not only the avoidance of medication contamination but also the health of operators when handling highly potent drugs.</p><p></p><h2><strong>The big picture</strong></h2><p>The cleanroom technology market is witnessing a rapid prominence due to a wide range of factors. These include technological innovations, strict regulatory standards, and growing demand for quality products by pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies. Cleanroom technology and superior image go hand in hand.</p><p></p><p><strong>Free Valuable Insights:</strong> <a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/news/cleanroom-technology-market/">Global Cleanroom Technology Market to reach a market size of USD 4.5 billion by 2025</a></p><p></p><p>The advanced mode of operation in cleanrooms makes for extremely profitable business opportunities, which eventually contribute to long-term customer loyalty. The fact that all big players in the medical, pharmaceutical, and semiconductor sectors are using cleanroom technologies is a testament to this. As innovation and development continue to increase, the cleanroom technology market will continue to expand, making it a must across all types of industries.</p></div>All About The Secure Web Gateway Technology And Ongoing Trendshttps://globalriskcommunity.com/profiles/blogs/all-about-the-secure-web-gateway-technology-and-ongoing-trends2020-05-01T07:06:54.000Z2020-05-01T07:06:54.000ZKBV Researchhttps://globalriskcommunity.com/members/KBVResearch<div><p>Secure web gateway has become increasingly popular, as cybercriminals in relatively insecure or qualified websites have become more advanced in integrating threat vectors. These false websites can exploit the company when users access it and unleash malicious code and unauthorized user-friendly access. Fake, criminal websites can be very persuasive.</p><p></p><p></p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8028316677,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8028316677,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="8028316677?profile=original" /></a></p><p></p><p></p><p>A secure web gateway provides security protection against risks to information online, by applied security policies and real-time Internet malicious traffic filtering. A secure web gateway at least provides URL filtering, web server tracking, and malicious code identification and filtering. Features of data leak protection are also significant.</p><p></p><h2><strong>What is a secure web gateway?</strong></h2><p>A <a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/secure-web-gateway-market/">secure web gateway</a> is a cyberbarrier or control point that stops malicious traffic from accessing the network of an enterprise. The traffic that is governed by a secure web gateway is in line - all incoming and outgoing data is placed between the gateways. It prevents transmission or access to malicious websites, viruses, and malware by companies. Only approved secure websites can be reached through the web gateway – all others are blocked. A more detailed web gateway feature may prevent entering the website (also known as the exfiltration) of a company with classified material (such as intellectual property, data, and confidential documents).</p><p></p><h2><strong>Features of a secure web gateway:</strong></h2><h3><strong>Real-Time Traffic Inspection</strong></h3><p>In real-time, a secure web gateway monitors web traffic, analyzes content against company policies, and blocks all inappropriate or contradictory content. The majority of secure web gateway solutions are designed to enforce the templates of common safety policy directly outside the shelf and to set policies that meet the business model or compliance needs.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Protection for Off-Grid Workers</strong></h3><p>As employees are more distributed, security solutions are required to provide protection anywhere, every day on every computer. A secure web gateway allows mobile users to easily authenticate and to use the same protection protocols as in the office on their devices. The result is that all internet traffic is secure, everywhere they operate, and absolute tranquility is guaranteed.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Time and Content-Based Access</strong></h3><p>Whether you have to limit internet access at specific times or choose to manage access to different site content, you have the freedom to customize your secure web gateway according to your appropriate use policy and enforcement. Time quotas or plans that guarantee optimum efficiency or even permit access to websites specific to their work positions can be assigned by individual users.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Data Leak Prevention</strong></h3><p>As the name suggests, data breach prevention stops the leakage or stolen from a third party of the corporate data. Using a web security gateway with data loss prevention tools can provide very effective coverage against both internal and external attacks by detecting ordinary business conditions such as payment card industries (PCI) number patterns and phrases and personally identifiable information.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Why do we need the secure web gateway technology?</strong></h2><p>As networks are more decentralized as more people link directly to the web from any location or computer, securing the customers, network, and the data accessed is important. A secure Internet gateway (SWG) blocks user access to malicious Internet and cloud traffic that could corrupt their computers and negatively impact the company's internal network. It also guarantees that consumers navigate the site in keeping with the regulatory policies of the company.</p><p>The number and sophistication of internet-borne threats are growing. Organizations must take into account the very real risk of their data, reputation, and fundamental values and implement the right security measures. A secure web portal is key in this process, preventing the breach of your network and data and allowing you to stay in line with the legislation concerning your business line and your data.</p><p></p><h2><strong>What’s new in the industry?</strong></h2><p>The cloud movement is by far the most influential trend for gateway security. Companies have in the past few years been very worried about cloud safety. In addition to on-site solutions, many now recognize the advantages of cloud-based security. Users chose to move to the cloud completely. Furthermore, several web security portals in the cloud are as functional as on-site implementations.</p><p>Services operating on the cloud can offer benefits. For certain cases, latency and performance are lower. In particular, end-user locations are used and installed near remote areas and are placed in a way so that they can enable device accessibility. The chances are that new technology portal roll-outs are in the cloud. Companies will keep their current stable Internet portals on site until they eventuate, so it is not clear that there will be substantial development in that part of the market.</p><p>The secure web gateway is now allowing the users to decode SSL data with about half of all attacks and malicious data using cryptography. However, some technological issues do have to be solved, for this system to work properly and stay flexible and provide a reasonable value in dual-rental environments.</p><p>Web isolation is another trend where the use of a web browser in an isolated environment to protect the app from risky and unknown websites. Web isolation can also extend to all high-profile blogs, for example, the CEO or CFO, which are frequently targeted. In the read-only context, for example, possible phishing e-mails are accessed to protect users from unintended exposure to identifying information.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Summing up</strong></h2><p>The secure web gateway market is growing exponentially with high dependence on the internet, increasing demand from companies to prevent and defend end-customer data from ransomware attacks and breaches of information. Furthermore, productivity monitoring is also driving the industry at a rapid growth rate. </p><p></p><p><strong>Free Valuable Insights:</strong> <a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/news/secure-web-gateway-market/">Global Secure Web Gateway Market to reach a market size of USD 11.5 billion by 2025</a></p><p></p><p>Indigenous and persistent attacks have been a major concern for industries like BFSI, healthcare, and government departments, raising the need for an appropriate and integrated security solution. This provision is expected to give the secure web gateway industry more opportunities. The market expansion, on the other hand, has been further constrained by the lack of awareness and demand in customary firewalls.</p></div>Dairy Protein Products And Their Extensive Applicationshttps://globalriskcommunity.com/profiles/blogs/dairy-protein-products-and-their-extensive-applications2020-04-30T10:19:46.000Z2020-04-30T10:19:46.000ZKBV Researchhttps://globalriskcommunity.com/members/KBVResearch<div><p>Dairy products have succeeded in riding the wave of various food trends worldwide. Overall, dairy producers have stayed ahead of the curve on increasing consumer demand for safer, more accessible products, capitalizing on their intrinsic bone and digestive health halo, and meeting market expectations for more protein and clean label goods with new product creation and innovation.</p><p></p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8028318695,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8028318695,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="8028318695?profile=original" /></a></p><p></p><p>Consumers are much focused on the mainstreaming of protein not just on the nutritional value but also on the taste and feel of the food products they purchase. This forms a large part of the buying decision. Companies are concentrating on creating better-taste and textured ingredients in the wider variety of high-protein items consumers are searching for today, including ready-to-drink beverages (RTD) and bars.</p><p></p><h2><strong>What is dairy protein?</strong></h2><p><a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/dairy-protein-market/">Dairy proteins product</a> are an essential part of dairy products but also one of the food industry's most commonly used proteins. Milk contains two protein types: whey (20%), and casein (80%). According to science-based rating scales, both are high-quality proteins and both contain all important amino acids in amounts adequate to serve the various protein functions in the body.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Types of dairy protein products:</strong></h2><h3><strong>Whey</strong></h3><p>Whey proteins make up around 20 per cent of the proteins in milk and remain stored in the whey throughout the processing of cheese or casein. Whey Protein Powder is a whey concentrate that is produced by using ultra filtration to make whey concentrate reduced in lactose. This concentrate is further condensed by evaporation, followed by drying spray into a powder. Whey protein concentrate is available with 40-90 per cent whey proteins, also known as WPC.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Milk protein concentrate</strong></h3><p>Milk Protein Powder is a concentrate of skim milk that is processed by the use of ultra filtration to make skim concentrate reduced by lactose. This concentrate is further condensed by evaporation, followed by drying spray into a powder. Milk protein concentrate is available in 40-90 per cent milk protein, also known as MPC.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Casein and derivatives</strong></h3><p>Caseins are a dairy product made by drying up a curd to a powder. Casein production occurs by curdling and straining when rennet (leading to rennet casein) or an edible acidic material (leading to acid casein) is added. The curd is dried to casein powder, normally on a roller dryer or extruder. By reacting with a hydroxide such as sodium or calcium hydroxide, Caseinate is modified acid casein, which has excellent emulsifying capability.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Dairy protein uses:</strong></h2><h3><strong>Nutrition</strong></h3><p>Milk is a rich protein source — providing about 1 gram of the nutrient in each fluid ounce (30 ml), or 7.7 grams in each cup (240 ml). Milk proteins can be classified into two classes, based on their water solubility. Insoluble milk proteins are called casein, while whey proteins are classified as soluble proteins. All of these milk protein classes are considered high quality, with a high proportion of essential amino acids and better digestibility.</p><p></p><p>Epidemiological evidence suggests that the intake of dairy products is associated with a decrease in the prevalence of metabolic related disorders, whereas experimental studies have shown that dairy protein is a dietary component that can help prevent type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Poor metabolic health is a common feature of overweight, obesity, and aging, and is the cause to T2DM and cardiovascular disease (CVD) and a growing global health concern.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Food and beverages</strong></h3><p>Food and beverage manufacturers have integrated whey proteins into dressing and sauces, snack coatings such as popcorn or almonds, and regular customer favorite breakfast foods such as pancakes due to their wide variety of features.</p><p></p><p>Breakfast bakery products reflect a particularly valuable opportunity for dairy fortification. Usually breakfast foods contain less protein than lunch or dinner meals. Spreading protein more uniformly all day long optimizes the synthesis of the muscle proteins.</p><p></p><p>Most breakfast foods are also made from wheat, and wheat is low in essential amino acid lysine. A healthy source of lysine is both the milk and whey proteins. The supplementary nutrition helps fortified bakery goods producers to refine nutritional claims about the protein content of their products.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Personal care and cosmetics</strong></h3><p>In terms of beauty, the perks of dairy protein products often go overlooked from within claims. But it's important to understand how the modern consumer demands play a role in this tried and tested source. Naturally, the dairy ingredients offer beauty benefits by vitamins, calcium and full proteins.</p><p></p><p>The proteins derived from dairy products, especially casein and whey, are also essential components for maintaining skin health. Casein indirectly improves the health of the skin by increasing the absorption of important minerals, such as calcium, when ingested. Casein makes up 80 percent of the milk protein, but is also isolated and marketed as a protein on its own. Thanks to its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant activity, whey protein is additionally beneficial to skin care by dietary intake.</p><p></p><h2><strong>What’s trending in the industry?</strong></h2><h3><strong>Flavor Experimentation</strong></h3><p>Growing demands for pleasant, fresh, interesting flavors among consumers, particularly the younger generation, are expected to impact innovations in dairy products. A recent NZMP study was reflective of adventurous consumption as global developments such as multiculturalism are opening up dairy opportunities.</p><p></p><p>Alcohol-infused ice creams, flavored butter, and spicy marinated cheese are only a couple of the kinds of flavor experiments we’ve seen so far this year in the dairy industry. With the plant-based alternative dairy protein industry is now rising exponentially, competition is higher than ever and dairy companies have to think beyond the box and experiment with flavors to stand out.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Consumers Drive High-Protein Dairy Trend</strong></h3><p>It's easy to see why dairy processors turn to plants to give a protein boost to their products, despite all the positives. The challenge is settling on the right protein solution. Protein claims are based on whole proteins: those protein foods which contain all the essential amino acids that are needed. A "good" source contains five grams of complete protein, and 10 grams of "excellent" source. Many plant-sourced proteins, nevertheless, are incomplete proteins, indicating that they do not contain all the essential amino acids in the correct proportions. Protein digestibility considerations in determinations of protein content often further complicate the calculation.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Clean and Sustainable</strong></h3><p>Consumers associate dairy with being safe and the industry as a whole is forced to be involved in cleaning up labeling for dairy products. One such movement is for GMO-free milk and dairy products, part of the push toward clean labeling and organic foods and beverages.</p><p></p><p>This clean label supply of milk is rising worldwide due in part to renewed consumer interest in items such as grass-fed butter, a favorite among keto diet followers, popular in many parts of the world. The lack of E-numbers or food additives is another way in which dairy proteins help make dairy products healthier. By leveraging Kerry's advanced dairy proteins, our scientists help customers extract some or all of the E-numbers from milk, ice cream, and other dairy products, such as carrageenan and guar gum.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Amid the ongoing trends, here’s what is bringing a slowdown to the dairy industry:</strong></h2><p>Coronavirus outbreak is causing a huge stir in the entire dairy supply chain. The effect on the dairy industry cannot be ignored because the future impacts on the global dairy product industry cannot be ignored. Even the situation is dynamic. In an effort to curb the epidemic stricter road traffic restrictions are being used. This causes inter-provincial logistics disturbances across China, and even within provinces, impacting shipments of raw milk in different regions. Apparently, small and medium-sized farms are more impacted than large farms, leading to some milk dumping.</p><p></p><p><strong>Free Valuable Insights:</strong> <a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/news/dairy-protein-market/">Global Dairy Protein Market to reach a market size of USD 13.4 billion by 2025</a></p><p></p><h2><strong>To sum up</strong></h2><p>Dairy proteins are unique in their role to nutritionally attach to low protein food items. Dairy protein producers in North America are seeking ways to provide more choices for customers, and are creating innovative products that integrate dairy proteins into different snacks, baking mixes, drinks, sports nutrition products, and more. Whey protein-based products, for example, are increasingly being used in the sports nutrition market. It includes products like whey protein bars, powders, and drinks.</p></div>Healthcare CRO Services and Pharma: A Bird Eye’s Viewhttps://globalriskcommunity.com/profiles/blogs/healthcare-cro-services-and-pharma-a-bird-eye-s-view2020-04-29T10:31:41.000Z2020-04-29T10:31:41.000ZKBV Researchhttps://globalriskcommunity.com/members/KBVResearch<div><p>Healthcare CRO services industry found its initial foundation when pharmaceutical companies were able to do all of their in-house R&D, but were often faced with capacity issues, and it was this occasional need for excess capacity, where resources were limited, that led to the creation of the first CROs. By then, for many other reasons, sponsors have opted to outsource R&D operations, including obtaining resources that are not available in-house, achieving a decrease in fixed prices, and benefiting from greater global scope.</p><p></p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8028316253,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8028316253,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="8028316253?profile=original" /></a></p><p></p><p>The industry has been witnessing the emergence of a large number of new drugs and the rise of the smaller biotech market. These two factors, combined with the increasing cost of drug production, helped to shift the competitive relationship between pharmaceutical and CROs, providing the impetus for CROs to expand their services and market. The healthcare CRO services industry has been gradually rising in recent years.</p><p></p><h2><strong>What are healthcare CRO Services?</strong></h2><p><a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/healthcare-cro-services-market/">Contract research organizations (CROs)</a> usually provide discovery and development services to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical devices (often referred to as sponsors) industries, but may also support foundations, academic agencies, and universities.</p><p>Through planning and performing clinical trials to test the new molecule in humans, CROs organize and perform tasks in the R&D process. Being independent organizations, they provide in the clinical setting an unbiased evaluation of a potential drug and, being they work with other firms, usually provide greater expertise than if the sponsors conducted the trials themselves. CROs derive much of their revenue from sponsor R&D budgets, with work being carried out in the form of outsourced contracted services that are short or long term.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Here’s why pharma companies are using CRO services progressively:</strong></h2><p>Pharma can have access to skills and knowledge that are not otherwise available within the organization. They can also move from xed to variable cost model to reduce the internal resource utilization. Healthcare CRO programs will give patients greater global scope and access. In addition, they are often of high quality, ensuring more effective implementation along with reducing criteria for oversight. The companies include lower capital costs, quicker timelines for growth and a faster route to market.</p><h2><strong>Healthcare CRO services trends:</strong></h2><h3><strong>The emergence of R&D marketplaces to streamline contract research offering</strong></h3><p>A major trend in outsourcing pharmaceutical research is the rise of new marketplace types that link pharmaceutical sponsors with CROs, academic institutions, and biotech start-ups through advanced digital infrastructure. Research marketplaces allow sponsors to search for different R&D service providers, participate in a transaction, manage projects, arrange payment schedules and automate the entire cycle of R&D service sourcing. In my own experience, I consider those marketplaces to be extremely useful in curbing overhead management.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Rising demand for specialized testing services</strong></h3><p>Many pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies are currently focused on building a diverse product portfolio and developing new molecules, both small and big. Delivery devices, combination products, and reformulated or re-engineered drugs are being developed by firms to meet unmet requirements.</p><p>Pharmaceutical industries focus on a variety of specialized testing services, such as liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/ MS), gene expression analysis, RNA sequencing, compendia raw materials wet chemistry analysis, Inductively Coupled Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) trace metal analysis and several others. Pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical firms tend to outsource these advanced research facilities to CROs in order to save the expense of equipment and labour.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Biotech start-ups drive big pharma’s innovation</strong></h3><p>Biotech start-ups and small pharmaceutical companies are starting to have a significant impact on the medical research environment in general, and the CRO industry in particular — with a 103% rise in the number of new molecular entities (NMEs) identified by small pharmaceutical firms, which accounted for 63% of all new prescription drug approvals over the past five years. Many such companies develop research collaborations with big pharma to further advance their technologies or provide advanced skills, services and resources in research.</p><p>Large drug makers' strategic role is now to extend or acquire external R&D collaborations with smaller innovators — 2019 has been a productive year for M&A operation in the pharmaceutical industry. While acquiring tiny, emerging companies is a long-standing strategy for big pharmaceuticals, the M&A landscape will heat up due to an increasingly diverse market of advanced technologies and inventions, and a rising competitive interest in biotech M&As from the side of big CROs and recent newcomers to the pharmaceutical industry — tech giants.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Healthcare CRO services and Machine Learning</strong></h3><p>Advancements in the efficiency of clinical trials equal savings. For example, an ML platform may enable pre-clinical trials to be performed to allow early detection of populations that are most likely to react to a drug and to identify biomarkers showing the most potential for patient response, thereby refining the compound and the design of the trial.</p><p>Predictive analytics based on ML are used in the recruiting, retention and interaction of patients. Identifying and hiring the right applicants for example speeds up the timelines for R&D. Patient interaction during the trial is becoming increasingly essential as clinicians extend their use of Health IT including health management applications and wearables.</p><p>Real-world data can also be used to build a "digital twin" alongside multi-omic mapping of the patients receiving a research product. It is a reflection of a single person representing over time their physiological and molecular status as well as their lifestyle. For example, digital twins might be used to explain what would have happened to the patient had they been given placebo or the standard of care. Clinicians may use this model to assess various treatment strategies by comparing potential results to the patient, without any real risk.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Summing up</strong></h2><p>As sponsors face rising regulatory scrutiny, high marketing costs, and patent expirations on key blockbuster products, they are increasingly turning to outsourced specialist providers to lower costs and speed up market time. In addition, CROs' growth has increased over the past few years, with factors including rising spending on R&D, growing penetration outsourcing and the need for more nuanced clinical trials to promote overall market development.</p><p></p><p><strong>Free Valuable Insights:</strong> <a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/news/healthcare-cro-services-market/">Global Healthcare CRO Services Market to reach a market size of USD 57.1 billion by 2025</a></p><p></p><p>We expect the significant amount of M&A activity seen in previous years to continue with a favorable M&A climate and sustained development in the CRO sector.

It reduces the consumption of surplus energy.</p><p></p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8028314686,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8028314686,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="8028314686?profile=original" /></a></p><h2><strong>What is the variable frequency drive (VFD)?</strong></h2><p>Variable-frequency drive (VFD) is a type of adjustable-speed drive used in electro-mechanical drive systems that helps to control AC motor speed and torque by varying engine input and voltage. VFDs are used for applications ranging from small devices to massive compressors. Currently, 25% of the world's electrical energy is used by electric motors in commercial applications. Systems that use VFDs can be more effective than those that use fluid flow control throttling, such as pump systems or ventilators. However, the global market share for all VFD applications is comparatively limited.</p><p>The advent of advanced microprocessors allowed the VFD to act as an extremely flexible system that not only controls the speed of the engine but also protects against overcurrent during ramp-up and ramp-down conditions. Newer VFDs also have braking methods, power boost during ramp-up, and a range of controls during ramp-down. The greatest advantage the VFD offers is that it will ensure that the engine does not draw excess current as it starts so that the total demand factor for the whole plant can be managed to keep the energy bill as small as possible. This feature alone may provide reimbursement above the VFD price for less than one year after purchase.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Variable frequency drive (VFD) industry applications:</strong></h2><h3><strong>Variable frequency drive for the food and beverages industry</strong></h3><p>Variable frequency drives (VFDs) have effectively replaced other conventional methods for operating the equipment used in the food and beverage industry. In addition to reliable process control and dramatically increased energy efficiency drives also help machine manufacturers achieve the necessary safety requirements and reduce system complexity.</p><p>The reliability of modern drives has been used as an integral part of the safety program.Its dedicated safety features, they are an increasingly critical factor in helping the food and beverage industry to strengthen its safety record and at the same time maximize its competitiveness and profitability.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Variable frequency drive in the pharmaceutical industry</strong></h3><p>Electric motors in the pharmaceutical industry use significant amounts of electricity; they are estimated to account for around two-thirds of all production. Just a small air conditioning device, costing a few hundred pounds, can be expected to use several hundreds of thousands of pounds of energy in its useful life. Variable frequency drives can help to allow substantial energy savings by regulating the speed of the motor.</p><p>Energy prices are low, but energy efficiency and sustainability are crucial for many sectors of business. Maintaining a stable supply of energy allows both businesses and people to spend less and this is just what variable frequency drives will help process industries do. Clearly stated, variable frequency drives can be used as a form of protection against potential energy price rises. They minimize the bill in proportion to its actual scale and boost the long-term economic plan of the energy sector by raising the probability that it will be able to help the Government achieve its energy-reduction targets.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Variable frequency drive for oil and gas industry</strong></h3><p>Large compressors and pumps are the foundation of the oil and gas industry. Compressor devices are used in applications such as gas pipeline booster stations, refrigeration trains at liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants, and a range of applications in petrochemical plants and refineries.</p><p>VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) has made it possible to use electric motors up to 100MW. Since then, large VFD electric motors have started to substitute gas and steam generators for massive compressors. Despite the power, speed, and fuel advantages of turbines as prime movers, the trend towards electric motors and VFDs is accelerating, and this paper explores some of the reasons why the transition makes economic sense.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Key trends that are driving the industry’s growth and innovations:</strong></h2><p>In order to reduce commissioning time, VFDs are designed and built for individual industries. Out-of-the-box VFDs are configured with industry-specific terminology, default parameters are modified, new functions are developed and unneeded features are removed. VFDs are also equipped with industry-specific setup wizards to direct the installer through the usual steps required to operate the drive.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Energy efficiency</strong></h3><p>In a typical compressor setup, the compressor is operated by a motor directly connected to the power supply. Irrespective of the compressor requirements, the engine operates at a constant speed, consuming a lot of energy. The motor rotation can be modified according to the requirements of the compressor by using a variable frequency drive. Therefore, depending on the output quality, the input may be modified, resulting in energy savings.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Saving space</strong></h3><p>The open-type and NEMA 1 VFD enclosures are still the staples of VFDs produced in the Americas. They are usually mounted on a panel, a wall device, or connected to another enclosure with a higher environmental protection value. Nevertheless, NEMA 12 (IP54) and NEMA 4/4X (IP66) VFDs are rapidly gaining popularity, especially in ventilator and pump applications where application controls are now based on VFD software rather than external logic.</p><p>They are smaller and weigh less than the VFDs mounted in a separate enclosure. They also reduce the total number of components by minimizing cable, terminal blocks, and additional cooling. Engineered drive packages with branch circuit safety, power conditioning, and control input/output (I/O) systems still have a firm position in the industry, but the enclosures will continue to be more advanced and cost-efficient.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Mitigating harmonics</strong></h3><p>The current harmonic requirements have become the focus of the Pacific Coast States and have slowly moved eastward. Mitigating current harmonics reduces maintenance costs from the point of view of the owner of the equipment; the cost savings come from the power utility's side. Reducing current harmonics has become so critical for utilities that many give incentives to help reduce higher VFD costs. This is perhaps the area of greatest improvement in the VFD industry over the last five years.</p><p>Conventional low-harmonic topologies, such as 18-pulse rectifiers and harmonic filters, are being replaced by a wide range of active switching topologies that are more powerful, use less space, and are easier to mount. VFD manufacturers are improving their products and introducing a multitude of features, but the primary aim of VFD is to save the owner money. The markets will continue to be dominated by VFDs that tend to reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO).</p><p></p><h2><strong>Taking everything into account</strong></h2><p>The variable frequency drive market is expected to witness a boom in its growth due to progressive applications across various industries. Currently, the VFD is possibly the most common form of output or load for the control device. When applications become more complicated, the VFD can control the speed of the engine, the direction of the shaft of the engine, the torque of the engine, and all other motor parameters that can be identified.</p><p></p><p><strong>Free Valuable Insights:</strong> <a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/news/variable-frequency-drive-market/">Global Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) Market to reach a market size of USD 31.3 billion by 2025</a></p><p></p><p>Newer VFDs have a range of parameters that can be controlled by a number programmed in or downloaded from another microprocessor-based device, such as a programmable controller (PLC). These VFDs are also available in smaller sizes that are cost-effective and take up less room. Nevertheless, the emerging coronavirus outbreak is shifting demand trends for major semiconductor end markets. Notwithstanding continuing quarantine, shelter orders, and other strict measures, COVID-19 has continued to spread.</p><p>The semiconductor industry, which has traditionally been a significant source of high-tech employment, is among the many sectors that have had to change their production plans and operations as COVID-19 changes demand new semiconductor end applications.</p></div>Ambulance Services Are Gaining Huge Demand With Advancements In Emergency Serviceshttps://globalriskcommunity.com/profiles/blogs/ambulance-services-are-gaining-huge-demand-with-advancements-in2020-04-27T10:51:07.000Z2020-04-27T10:51:07.000ZKBV Researchhttps://globalriskcommunity.com/members/KBVResearch<div><p>With a significant rise in the number of emergency cases, the need of the hour is to transport the patients to the nearest hospital as soon as possible. <a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/ambulance-services-market/">Ambulance services</a> provide an ambulance that is medically equipped and transports patients to care centers, such as hospitals. In certain cases the patient is given out-of-hospital medical treatment. Emergency services hire ambulances to respond to medical emergencies. In general they are equipped with flashing warning lights and sirens for this purpose.</p><p></p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8028319481,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8028319481,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="8028319481?profile=original" /></a></p><p></p><p>They can quickly transport paramedics and other first responders to the scene, hold emergency medical equipment and transfer patients to hospital or other final treatment. Most ambulances use a van or pick-up truck based design. Others take the form of motorcycles, cars, buses, boats and planes.</p><p></p><h2><strong>What are ambulance services?</strong></h2><p>Ambulance services are the emergency response for critically injured or sick patients that also ensure that healthcare workers provide appropriate attention. Outpatient programs contribute to prompt medical care for victims of injuries or patients with chronic illnesses. Ambulance services play a significant role in the health care sector.</p><p>The ambulance services industry comprises private and public providers offering air or surface transport services to seriously ill patients, along with primary medical care. These vehicles are equipped with healthcare practitioners operating life-saving devices. For many countries, private ambulance services have emerged to provide ambulance services, particularly in rural areas that lack the necessary funds to provide free ambulance services and also due to state monetary issues.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Types of ambulance services transport:</strong></h2><h3><strong>Ground Ambulance Services</strong></h3><p>Ground transportation leads the segment because it is the most reliable and safe way to treat patients in an emergency. Its flexibility and easy availability are also expected to fuel segment growth as compared with other transport systems. Ground ambulance includes trucks for van or pick-up, car/SUV, motorcycle, bicycle, all-terrain, golf cart, and bus.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Water Ambulance Services</strong></h3><p>Ambulance boats are boats that provide emergency medical assistance and facilities to remote areas surrounded by a bodies of water. These ambulance boats are very close to the conventional ambulances and are fitted with all the necessary gadgets including ventilators, surgical equipment, a paramedics team and other necessary equipment for providing assistance to the victims. Many lifeguard vessels or lifeboats can also be used as ambulances for transporting victims or casualties in emergencies.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Air Ambulance Services</strong></h3><p>Air ambulance services is a broad concept that includes the use of air or helicopter transport to carry patients to and from healthcare facilities and accident scenes. During aeromedical evacuation or rescue operations onboard helicopter and propeller aircraft or jet aircraft, personnel provide extensive prehospital and emergency and critical care to all types of patients.</p><p>The use of air transport to provide medical evacuation on the battlefield dates back to World War I but its role was significantly expanded during the wars in Korea and Vietnam. Aircraft also began to be used by the civil emergency medical services. In particular for major emergency incidents, helicopters may carry medical care to the scene and transfer patients to medical hospitals. Fixed-wing aircraft are used for long distance transportation.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Recent trends in ambulance services industry</strong></h2><h3><strong>Advanced life support</strong></h3><p>Advanced Life Support (ALS) is a series of life-saving procedures and skills that expand Basic Life Support to further assist circulation and include an open airway and adequate ventilation (breathing). ALSs key algorithm, which is invoked when actual cardiac arrest is identified, depends on monitoring of the heart’s electrical activity on a heart monitor.</p><p>Defibrillation is applied, and medication is provided, depending on the form of cardiac arrhythmia. Oxygen is given, and endotracheal intubation may be tried to protect the lungs. The treatments effect on heart rhythm, as well as the existence of cardiac output, is periodically assessed.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Air ambulance demand rising amid the coronavirus outbreak</strong></h3><p>The outbreak of an infectious lung disease triggered by the Coronavirus has raised alarm worldwide. The virus can be transmitted between humans by contact with bodily fluids (e.g. by coughing and sneezing). Therefore, the disease is extremely contagious. A patient with suspected or confirmed coronavirus is not permitted to travel on a scheduled flight because of the high risk of contagion. For these situations, only an Air Ambulance is sufficient.</p><p>An experienced flight doctor on board an air ambulance takes care of the patient, using devices identical to the machines in a typical intensive care unit. Air ambulances are available from around the world. We can use not only the large commercial airports but smaller regional airfields as well. We can then transport the patient near the admitting hospital, so that only a short transport on the ground is necessary. An air ambulance will generally be made available on the same or the next day.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Internet of Things (IoT) in ambulance services</strong></h3><p>Emergency care is a critical field of medicine whose outcomes are determined by contextual knowledge time, quality and accuracy. Furthermore, the effectiveness of emergency treatment depends on the quality and accuracy of the information received during the emergency call and of the data obtained during the emergency transport.</p><p>Emergency doctors often lack the health records of patients and base the medical care on a set of information gathered including details given by the patient or his family. Consequently the provision of emergency treatment is more patient-centered than patient-centered knowledge. Wireless body area network and IoT (Internet of Technology) enable accurate data collection and are increasingly being used in medical applications.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Summing up</strong></h2><p>Modern ambulance today contains the most modern and advanced technologies. The medical equipment used today can easily provide hospital-like treatment to the patient when in transit and make their journey very comfortable and simple from one facility to the next. Governments have been under constant pressure to significantly improve emergency treatment, including the treatment received by ambulance services.</p><p></p><p><strong>Free Valuable Insights:</strong> <a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/news/ambulance-services-market/">Global Ambulance Services Market to reach a market size of USD 31.8 billion by 2025</a></p><p></p><p>The government reports resulted in the development of guidelines in ambulance construction about the internal height of the area of patient care (to enable a caregiver to continue to care for the patient during transportation), and the equipment (and therefore weight) that an ambulance needed to carry, and many other factors.</p></div>Thermal Scanners Industry Witnesses a Boost as Coronavirus Spreadshttps://globalriskcommunity.com/profiles/blogs/thermal-scanners-industry-witnesses-a-boost-as-coronavirus2020-04-24T10:14:43.000Z2020-04-24T10:14:43.000ZKBV Researchhttps://globalriskcommunity.com/members/KBVResearch<div><p>Millions are locked down at home due to the coronavirus pandemic, but many others still have to go to work in industries such as food preparation, shipping, and manufacturing, particularly medical equipment. FLIR, which manufactures thermal cameras for capturing and tracking military intelligence, claims they've seen an "exponential" rise in sales to industrial customers who want to scan workers for a fever — a primary symptom of COVID-19.</p><p></p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8028315267,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8028315267,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="8028315267?profile=original" /></a></p><p></p><p>Whether it's a medical company that needs this test before you enter a clinic or a hospital, whether it's other sectors that are vital to handling the delivery of products, and so on, they've got to hold a huge workforce, etc., they're ordering thermal cameras like never before.</p><p></p><h2><strong>What are the thermal scanners?</strong></h2><p><a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/thermal-scanners-market/">A thermal scanner</a> is a detection device that detects non-contact infrared (heat) energy and transforms it into electrical signals. It then generates thermal images and display temperature values and can measure temperature values. The thermal scanner&#39;s task includes inflammation inducement, prompting of peripheral nerve disease, early tumor warning, testing of other extreme diseases, and efficacy monitoring.</p><p>A new type of coronavirus infection has recently occurred in Wuhan, Hubei, and in many other regions. The developed mobile infrared thermal imaging screening systems can instantly screen for high fevers that may be caused by influenza and pneumonia in crowded areas. Its main features include non- contact quick body temperature screening, large area detection, long-distance, smart alarm, high-temperature measurement accuracy, fast response, infrared, and visible image overlay measurement analysis.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Thermal scanners applications:</strong></h2><h3><strong>Thermography</strong></h3><p>Examples of the science of infrared imaging are infrared thermography (IRT), thermal imaging, and thermal video. Thermographic cameras typically detect radiation within the electromagnetic spectrum's long-infrared range (approximately 9,000–14,000 nanometers or 9–14 μm) and produce images of that radiation, called thermograms. Since, as per the black body radiation law, infrared radiation is emitted from all objects with a temperature above absolute zero, thermography allows one to see one's surroundings with or without visible illumination.</p><p>The amount of radiation released by an object increases with temperature; hence thermography allows one to see temperature variations. Warm objects stand out against cooler environments when viewed through a thermal imaging camera; humans and other warm-blooded animals are readily visible against the climate, day or night. Thermography is also of special interest to the military and other users of surveillance cameras.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Security and surveillance</strong></h3><p>Currently, CCTV professionals experience the task of ensuring that video footage is accurate 24/7, 365 days a year. Thermal security cameras help to see intruders and other threats in complete darkness and bad weather to your building. The thermal scanners are available in high-resolution formats, completely activated for control and service over digital and analog networks. Thermal security cameras let see intruders and other threats in complete darkness and bad weather.</p><p>There are several devices used to help identify potential intruders in the night. There are also combinations of different technologies to establish a protected perimeter. Closed-circuit television (CCTV) systems with or without active infrared lighting or old-fashioned light bulbs, radiofrequency intruder detection (RAFID) systems, thermal imaging cameras, and/or walking patrols can be used to complement the fences.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Research and rescue</strong></h3><p>Search & rescue thermal scanners are increasingly becoming a critical resource for first responders, firefighters, FEMA & military personnel to identify victims in distress and extract them from the way they harm. As a regular element of their work, coast guard and search and rescue teams face dangerous conditions every day. At night, and especially when the weather is stormy, efforts to save people in the water can easily become a nightmare scenario simply because they cannot be seen.</p><p>Handheld thermal cameras will save precious minutes by displaying the location of people that have been washed overboard and are in potential danger of drowning to search teams who mean the difference between life and death. These cameras show pictures that are based on heat differences, not light. This is what makes them invaluable for employees working throughout the day to save lives.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Thermal scanners technology adoption due to the coronavirus pandemic</strong></h2><p>The need for thermal scanners to screen temperatures of workers is growing as factories and companies are planning to return to operations while seeking to keep COVID-19 from spreading. Two of the biggest suppliers in the industry — Flir Systems Inc. and close-held Seek Thermal Inc. — say they are struggling to satisfy demand. Before the COVID-19 outbreak, shipments of thermal scanners were primarily for use in border checks by the military and government authorities. Thermal cameras are expected to be used more commonly as a monitoring tool for major gatherings such as sporting events, factories, and entertainment facilities like Broadway movie theaters.</p><p>Thermal scanners for detecting whether a person is running a fever need to be close to the skin to operate, either installed in a kiosk that a person looks into or in a handheld scanner to capture an accurate sample of a person's face, very close to the eye. When it reaches an elevated level, the scanner will then sound the alarm. Although a slightly higher temperature does not necessarily indicate that a person has COVID-19 and, however, not having a temperature is not an indicator that anyone does not have the disease, it offers a data point that may help businesses scan for the virus employees.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Industry in a nutshell</strong></h2><p>The thermal scanners market is witnessing a growing demand among the security and monitoring applications throughout private and public environments. The days where thermal imaging was used primarily by the military and governments are long gone. For an infinite range of applications, the last few years have shown how thermal is reaching the public sector. While this technology progresses exponentially, regulatory authorities around the world will continue to enforce and implement new legislation to protect the rights and safety of everyone, and the integrity of their state.</p><p></p><p><strong>Free Valuable Insights:</strong> <a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/news/thermal-scanners-market/">Global Thermal Scanners Market to reach a market size of USD 6.7 billion by 2025</a></p><p></p><p>Thermal imaging in the context of electro-optical devices has become a norm and a variety of groundbreaking technologies are being produced by industry by constant sensor research and development so that soldiers can see efficiently under different circumstances. These devices are a vital part of the military inventory, organizations gathering intelligence, and law enforcement entities. The future will only include its use in surveillance and combat as the military expands its efforts around the world to retain a fighting edge over its adversaries.</p></div>The Physical Vapor Deposition And The Major Use Cases Of This Industryhttps://globalriskcommunity.com/profiles/blogs/the-physical-vapor-deposition-and-the-major-use-cases-of-this2020-04-23T10:24:51.000Z2020-04-23T10:24:51.000ZKBV Researchhttps://globalriskcommunity.com/members/KBVResearch<div><p>Technological advancements are a significant growth factor for the global <a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/physical-vapor-deposition-market/">physical vapor deposition</a> (PVD) industry. The increasing need for highly sophisticated surface-related properties such as super-plasticity, magnetic, optical, electronic and catalytic properties, advanced mono-structured coatings also contributes to the growth of this market. The rising performance and environmental benefits provided by these coatings are combined with the fast-growing manufacturing sector in developing markets.</p><p></p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8028313856,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8028313856,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="8028313856?profile=original" /></a></p><h2><strong>What is physical vapor deposition?</strong></h2><p>Vapor deposition is a technique used in the manufacture of thin films and coatings. It is characterized by a cycle in which the substance moves from the condensed phase to the vapor phase and back to the condensed phase of the thin film. Several products like microelectronics, storage devices, cutting tools, medical equipment, solar panels, etc. are coated with thin protective film in the coating procedure.</p><p></p><p>There are two kinds of physical vapor deposition- evaporation and sputtering. Materials that get vaporized through high temperatures, such as refractory oxide compounds and refractory metals, also need a higher temperature of the targeted electron beam source (E-B). Nearly any substance that can be evaporated by RH may be evaporated by E-B. However, the power (high voltage) of fluoride compounds must be reduced to avoid dissociation. Metals like aluminum, gold, and copper have lower evaporation temperatures as compared to dielectric and RH, which is used more commonly.</p><p></p><p>Thermal evaporation uses heating of a material to create a vapor that condenses the coating over a substrate. The heating process can be carried out by various methods, such as electrical resistance, hot filament, electron or laser beam, and electrical arc. Sputtering requires electrical plasma generation between the coating species and the substrate. Ion plating is simply a variation of thermal evaporation and sputtering.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Various use cases that have made the physical vapor deposition technology prevalent:</strong></h2><h3><strong>PVD aluminum metalized finish in automotive applications</strong></h3><p>The accelerated demand for microelectronics in various applications, such as the automotive industry, plays a major role in driving market growth. PVD Aluminum Metallic Finish refers to the process of evaporation of aluminum coating to a non-metallic substrate. The layer must be vacuum-compatible. Tool materials, brass, glass, steel, zinc and ABS and polycarbonate plastic are most common.</p><p></p><p>PVD aluminum coating is a good alternative for applications that require very thin functional coatings. The PVD coating process deposits a layer of high-density material and that is only a few microns thick. When applied, it is hardly possible to remove the coating and do not wear it. This provides the aesthetic look of metal parts thereby lowering costs. It’s safer than any other process. Vacuum metalizing does not require the mixing of hazardous chemicals. The purest method reduces the risks of chemicals that cause human problems.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Functional PVD coatings improve medical device performance and life</strong></h3><p>Whilst the medical device sector keeps growing rapidly, manufacturers are more prone to facing a variety of challenges if they are to distinguish products in a highly competitive market. With this in consideration, greater emphasis is placed on functional coatings applied to stainless steel, titanium and other necessary medical equipment, ranging from implants to scalpels, needle drivers, bone saws, as well as reamers.</p><p></p><p>When manufacturers first started coating tools, their primary objective was to improve instrument appearance and to enhance identification during surgery. Titanium nitride, with its easily identifiable color of gold, rapidly became the coating of choice for this purpose. Nevertheless, OEMs are now striving to move beyond aesthetics by adding titanium nitride and other revolutionary physical vapor deposition (PVD) coatings to enhance wear resistance, minimize galling between sliding parts, increase lubricity as well as help to retain sharp edges on cutting instruments.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Aerospace industry turns to PVD coatings to replace hard chrome</strong></h3><p>A key supply chain focus for aircraft manufacturers has been the need for a suitable substitute for hard chrome in aerospace components. This may be attributable to observed health risks to staff and the environmental impact of exposure to hexavalent chromium. It is a carcinogen that emerges during the chromium plating process and is the most toxic type of chromium. As a result, chromium is a highly regulated chemical in major sectors of the world.</p><p></p><p>PVD defines a variety of methods of vacuum deposition that can be used to manufacture thin coatings. PVD is usually used to paint components at a relatively low coating temperature of 160-500°C (212-932°F). Such temperatures are suitable because they are below the temperature of the steels, which helps to prevent alteration of the fundamental properties of the material.</p><p></p><p>Among many of the PVD options, several carbon-based coatings will provide a rare combination of extreme surface durability, low friction, and anti-corrosion properties. For example, BALINIT C from Oerlikon Balzers, a manufacturer of coatings, has drawn the attention of some of the world's leading aerospace manufacturers, including Airbus.</p><p></p><h2><strong>To conclude</strong></h2><p>The physical vapor deposition market is driven primarily by increasing demand for reliable and durable coatings in medical equipment, especially from developing economies. As a result, the application category of medical devices is projected to have a strong growth potential over the estimated time period.</p><p></p><p><strong>Free Valuable Insights:</strong> <a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/news/physical-vapor-deposition-market/">Global Physical Vapor Deposition Market to reach a market size of USD 25.5 billion by 2025</a></p><p></p><p>Other applications for PVD may include aluminum tracks, ceramic resistors for electronic circuitry, optic coatings, plastic coatings as well as coatings to avoid wear on machines and press tools. Thin-film applications are comprehensive and can also be used where anti-corrosive, anti-fogging, stain-repellent, non-stick, electrically insulated, low friction and wear-resistant properties are needed.</p><p></p><p>PVD materials are wonderful elements that reflect people's daily lives in many ways. The process will continue to play a key role in how and why products are developed. With a nearly infinite variety of unique properties, it is always possible to imagine a whole new world of applications.</p></div>Wearable AI Trends In Healthcare Amid The COVID-19 Outbreakhttps://globalriskcommunity.com/profiles/blogs/wearable-ai-trends-in-healthcare-amid-the-covid-19-outbreak2020-04-21T07:31:24.000Z2020-04-21T07:31:24.000ZKBV Researchhttps://globalriskcommunity.com/members/KBVResearch<div><p>Since the advent of wearable technology in healthcare, data collection and the leverage of predictive health analytics to improve patient service has been increasingly easy for healthcare companies. By using data generated by wearable devices, companies can monitor the exact problem areas and offer treatment as required. <a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/wearable-ai-market/">Wearable healthcare technology</a> is helpful to both professionals and patients and a technical change of the healthcare industry is said to be initiating.</p><p></p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8028317864,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8028317864,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="8028317864?profile=original" /></a></p><p></p><p>The year 2020 has already begun with an outbreak of a dangerous COVID-19 virus, which has proved deadly to a large number of people. In these scenarios, advanced data analytics will help healthcare companies keep a close track of a patient's conditions. Whereas common wearable healthcare devices, such as Fitbits and Garmins, are very successful at measuring a variety of usable physiological metrics like heart rate, body temperature, blood pressure, sleep, activity, and even oxygen saturation levels; they provide a distinct lack of actionable information. Only when these results are combined and cross-referenced will we create a better profile of our overall health.</p><p></p><h2><strong>What is wearable AI technology?</strong></h2><p>The wearable AI industry is expected to see significant growth due to the growing demand for high-quality and wider displays in Smartwatches. Increasing consumer awareness of the advantages of better-aligned OLED technology and excellent contrast is one of the key drivers accelerating the development of OLED display. As a result, it stimulates the development of the AI-enabled wearable device market. The further increase in demand for AI assistants, the growth of operations in the healthcare sector, the emergence of IoT and the introduction of wireless technology and the advancement of wearable device technology are driving the market growth.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Types of wearable AI products:</strong></h2><h3><strong>Smart Watch</strong></h3><p>Once used to count steps and tell time, smartwatches have now developed into scientifically viable healthcare devices. Smartwatches allow consumers to perform activities that they usually do on their phones-read updates, send simple messages, make phone calls - while still providing some of the advantages of fitness trackers' workout and wellness monitoring. Biosensors are up and coming wireless medical devices and are completely different from smartwatches and wrist trackers.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Smart Eyewear</strong></h3><p>Healthcare smart eyewear has recently been released to the public and has created significant awareness among healthcare professionals as demonstrated by the clinic and hospital adoption. Initially, smart eyewear from Healthcare was used to popularize the time spent communicating with electronic health records and broadcasting activities. Medical smart glasses are also used to facilitate teaching by residents. Various companies are actively designing new tech solutions for smart medical glasses that allow smooth documentation for interpretation of patient records, video conferencing, and consulting or second opinions.</p><p>Healthcare smart glasses help solve challenges by having a dedicated screen for the surgeons and complete control of image manipulation. Medical smart glasses can be verbally regulated by a series of defined and modifiable voice commands. In medical smart glasses, the speech recognition software is preprogrammed to identify those vocal commands that need to be learned before using the device.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Wearable AI trends making their way into the healthcare sector amid the coronavirus pandemic:</strong></h2><h3><strong>Sweat-analyzing patch could help spot biomarkers linked to COVID-19</strong></h3><p>When you think about wearable technology, chances are your mind would go to a device like the Apple Watch long before the smart patch created by Epicore Biosystems in the Band-Aid-style is finished. But the company, which spun out of the Querrey Simpson Institute for Bioelectronics at Northwestern University and the laboratory of Professor John A. Rogers, has been working hard to develop sweat-sensing smart patches that can be used to help quantify sweat components in athletes and several other individuals. It may also have potential applications for medical use to help keep tabs on critical biomarkers for patients suffering from COVID-19.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Healthcare and fitness</strong></h3><p>The emerging trends in wearable technologies are getting smarter by the day. Activity trackers and health data captured on wearable devices have now been recognized as a perfect way for people to monitor their progress in health and alert their physicians if any anomalies happen.</p><p>In addition, many industry startups are experimenting with strategies to revamp and develop wearable healthcare technology and monitoring tools to increase connectivity between customers and healthcare professionals. In the near future, there will be several new technologies that will replace certain complicated medical procedures. These devices can, however, have to meet several legislative challenges. But the ability to adapt will increase gradually.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Wearable sensors</strong></h3><p>Wearable respiratory monitoring systems, such as wearable sensors and chest straps, constantly monitor the breathing of patients and other vital signs. It helps health departments to monitor and supervise COVID-19 patients who are either quarantined or mildly ill while reducing unnecessary hospital visits and eliminating coronavirus exposure.</p><p>Resmetrix is an Israel-based company that manufactures a comfortable chest strap with a proprietary sensor to monitor a patient's breathing habits and other safety parameters continuously. The sensor connects wirelessly to a mobile app and provides patient and clinician real-time access to respiratory and vital signs. The wearable device from Resmetrix enables monitoring of degradation and change in respiratory patterns.</p><p></p><h2><strong>To sum up</strong></h2><p>The wearable AI market is expected to see significant growth due to the growing demand for high-quality and wider displays in Smartwatches.

Fire protection engineers, fire officials, and building owners have obtained a new appreciation for the cost-effective role fire alarm systems play in protecting buildings and their residents from fire. Recent advancements in <a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/fire-alarm-and-detection-market/">fire alarms technologies</a> include human sensitivity adjustment for smoke detectors,</p><p>Recent technological advancements in fire detectors include modification of the sensitivity of the individual smoke detector, compensation for drift, and notification required for maintenance. These features minimize these systems' nuisance warnings, while at the same time shortening the time alerts are required to detect real fires. Innovation in the fire alarm system technology has been slow in comparison to other smart devices with high demand.</p><p></p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8028317688,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8028317688,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="8028317688?profile=original" /></a></p><p></p><h2><strong>What are the fire alarm and detection technology?</strong></h2><p>Fire detectors are designed to detect one or more of the three fire-smoke, heat, and flame properties. Further than this, any fire warning device must have manual call points (break glass), so that it can be of immediate help in the case of a fire.</p><p>The Fire Alarm System is programmed to alert us of an emergency, and we can take measures to protect ourselves, staff and the general public. Fire alarms are used in schools, warehouses, and public buildings, they are part of our everyday life, but they are still ignored before an emergency happens at which point they could just save our lives.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Types of technologies provided through this industry:</strong></h2><h3><strong>Fire detectors:</strong></h3><h4><strong>Smoke</strong></h4><p>A smoke detector is a device that detects smoke usually as a fire indicator. Commercial security devices transmit a signal to a fire alarm control panel as part of a fire alarm system, while household smoke detectors, commonly known as smoke alarms, typically transmit a local audible or visual alarm from the detector itself or several detectors if several smoke detectors are interconnected.</p><p>Smoke detectors are stored in plastic enclosures, smoke detectors are usually shaped like a disk or square about 150 mm in diameter and 25 mm thick, although shape and size vary. Smoke can either be detected optically (photoelectric) or by physical process (ionization); detectors can use one type or both. Sensitive alarms may be used to detect smoking, and therefore discourage it, in places where it is forbidden. Smoke alarms are typically powered by a central fire alarm device in large commercial, industrial, and residential buildings, and is operated by the building power with a battery backup.</p><p></p><h4><strong>Flame</strong></h4><p>A flame detector is a sensor designed to detect and respond to the presence of a flame or fire, which enables the detection of flames. Responses to a detected flame depend on the system, which may include sounding an alarm, deactivating a line of fuel (such as a propane or a line of natural gas), and activating a fire suppression. When used in applications such as industrial furnaces, their role is to assure that the furnace is operating properly; in such situations, no further action is taken besides notifying the operator or control device. A flame detector can also respond faster and more accurately than a smoke or heat detector because of the flame detection mechanisms it uses.</p><p>The range of a flame detector is determined by the location of the mount. In reality, one can assume in what the flame detector "sees" when projecting. A thumb rule is, that the flame detector's mounting height is twice as high as the largest point in the field of view. Also, leading to maintenance and/or upgrades the accessibility of the flame detector must be taken into consideration. For this reason, it is recommendable to have a rigid light-mast with a pivot point. In outdoor systems, a "roof" on top of the flame detector avoids accelerated emissions. By mounting a second flame detector in the opposite direction of the first detector, the shadow effect can also be minimized.</p><p></p><h4><strong>Heat</strong></h4><p>A heat detector is a fire alarm system designed to respond when a fire's conveyed thermal energy raises heat-sensitive element temperature. The element's thermal mass and conductivity control the heat rate influx into the element. Both heat detectors experience this thermal lag. Heat detectors have two primary working classifications, "rate of rising" and "fixed temperature." The heat detector is used to help in property damage prevention. As temperature changes, it is triggered.</p><p>It is the most prevalent form of heat detector. Fixed temperature detectors operate when the heat-sensitive eutectic alloy reaches the eutectic point which shifts from a solid to a liquid state. The thermal lag slows the accumulation of heat in the sensitive part so that a fixed-temperature system reaches its operating temperature sometime after the surrounding air temperature exceeds that. For electrically linked heat detectors the most common fixed temperature level is 58°C (136.4°F). Technological advances have enabled detectors to be developed that activate at a temperature of 47 ° C (117 ° F), improving the reaction time and protection margin available.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Fire alarms:</strong></h3><h4><strong>Audible alarms</strong></h4><p>Audible alarms create a loud noise to alert a safety hazard to staff and other surrounding individuals, announce an incident such as a shift change, page employees, or broadcast alerts. These are found in commercial applications of compatible surveillance systems, intercom systems, or fire alarm systems.</p><p></p><h4><strong>Visual alarms</strong></h4><p>Visual alarms are blinking lights and are used as signal fire alarms. Among the fire protection community, the terms visual alarm alert, visible signaling system, and visible signaling system are used relatively interchangeably; the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) calls them visual notification systems. No practical distinction is made between the visual signal and a visible signal.</p><p></p><h4><strong>Manual call-points</strong></h4><p>Manual Call Point is an alert initiation device for manual initialization. Usually, manual fire alarm triggering is accomplished by using a pull station or call point, which then sounds the evacuation alarm for the corresponding building or zone.</p><p>Manual activation of the fire alarm involves human intervention, as distinct from automated activation of the fire alarm such as that provided by using heat detectors and smoke detectors. However, call points/pull stations can be used as part of integrated fire detection and alarm system, following automatic warning.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Ongoing trends in the fire alarm and detection industry:</strong></h2><h3><strong>IoT Enabled Connected Detectors</strong></h3><p>The marketplace has a range of leading companies selling connected smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors for residential use. These connected detectors may interact with the Thermostat and, in the case of a fire or carbon monoxide, can shut down the furnace. The detectors can be reached via mobile apps everywhere. The detectors can sound a local warning in case of an emergency, as well as submit alerts on the cell phone. Nowadays, Nest and Ring are among the most common smart detectors on the market.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Advancements in Central Alarm System Technology</strong></h3><p>Both detectors are attached to a central controller in a central alarm network and transmit the signal directly to that controller. The controller continuously tracks several locations and it activates warning devices such as alarms, strobe lights, and speakers as it receives sensor data from the monitoring systems to alert the occupants. Today more and more integrated and intelligent features are coming to central alarm and evacuation systems as well.</p><p>Today, in case of an emergency, mass notification systems provide a paging feature for transmitting live audio orders across the building. Most mass notifications now days often include support for different forms of emergency warnings, such as inclement weather alarms, security warnings, amber alerts, etc. Advanced features of mass notification systems include the ability to transmit updates to selected recipients via SMS, text, email, pop-up, app update and push notification, thus helping to build quick and effective awareness.</p><p></p><h2><strong>The big picture</strong></h2><p>Global manufacturers concentrate on designing high-return products, especially ones that connect customers to rapidly changing lifestyle patterns. Although fire alarm systems aren't necessarily at the cutting edge of technological development, innovative companies are designing new approaches for fire-related threats and gas threats.</p><p>Collisions can't be prevented entirely, even with the latest available technology, but more can be done to mitigate the damage and save human lives. Connected products and technologies such as smart detectors, alarms, and notification systems will allow easily gathering critical alerts and preparing emergency scenarios better. Users will evaluate these connected technologies and implement them to improve safety.</p><p></p><p><strong>Free Valuable Insights:</strong> <a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/news/fire-alarm-and-detection-market/">Global Fire Alarm and Detection Market to reach a market size of USD 57.4 billion by 2025</a></p><p></p><p>While safety technology has gone a long way, technology alone is not enough, and possibly will never be. Often, disasters occur not due to faulty equipment or lack of appropriate infrastructure, but due to lack of proper implementation and poor planning. If the technology is properly implemented and managed, the deployment of advanced security technology does not help improve protection. Relevant regulations, policies, and procedures should be in effect and must be rigidly adhered to.</p></div>How Are Cancer Registry Trends Driving The Cancer Registry Software Market Growthhttps://globalriskcommunity.com/profiles/blogs/how-are-cancer-registry-trends-driving-the-cancer-registry2020-04-17T10:00:00.000Z2020-04-17T10:00:00.000ZKBV Researchhttps://globalriskcommunity.com/members/KBVResearch<div><p>The cancer registry software simplifies data collection for national and state registries and also helps to monitor the effectiveness of different treatment strategies. Cancer is among the main causes of morbidity and mortality. Population Based <a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/cancer-registry-software-market/">Cancer Registries</a> (PBCRs) plays a crucial role in the creation and evaluation of cancer prevention plans. As cancer grows more and more, the cancer registry is of great importance as the center of cancer prevention systems, and numerous software has been developed for that purpose.</p><p></p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8028313467,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8028313467,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="8028313467?profile=original" /></a></p><h2><strong>What is a cancer registry software?</strong></h2><p>Cancer registries compile, store, track, and interpret data on cancer patients. They develop and maintain a monitoring system for cancer incidence, act as an information tool for cancer research and provide information for officials and agencies in the field of public health aid. For instance, to be able to identify it sooner, doctors need cancer data to learn more about the causes of cancer. Data from the cancer registry also helps to assess the estimated percentage of people who will still be alive from diagnosis within a given time span.</p><p>Cancer registrars are qualified to collect reliable, total, and timely data. There are three forms of cancer records: hospital records, state records, and special cancer documents. Because of the importance of cancer registry in cancer prevention and control; and improving patient care, the need for cancer registry software evaluation, and the lack of an evaluation model for such software, the researchers are trying to provide a detailed evaluation model for cancer registry software evaluation.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Emerging trends in the cancer registry industry</strong></h2><h3><strong>Population-based cancer registry</strong></h3><p>A population-based cancer registry (PBCR) records all new cancer cases in a given population and over a specified period of time. PBCRs are a key component of the cancer prevention strategy which provides population-based information on cancer incidence, prevalence, which survival rates as the only accurate means. It measures the effect of cancer screening and specific therapies in targeted communities, and compare the quality and results of cancer care in different areas and groups. PBCR is the cornerstone of cancer epidemiology which can support genetic therapy programs for cancer which offers follow-up for risk groups.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Growing prevalence of cancer and favorable government initiatives</strong></h3><p>Traditionally, despite the significant and rising health burden, cancer received increasingly little attention from global policymakers and donors. Approximately 8.8 million people die of cancer each year, which amounts to one out of six deaths worldwide and far exceeds the number of HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis deaths combined. The burden of disease is highest in low-income and middle- income countries (LMICs), where 75 percent of deaths from cancer occur and the number of cancer cases is increasing most rapidly.</p><p>It is estimated that the global cancer burden has risen in 2018 to 18.1 million new cases and 9.6 million deaths. One in five men and one in six women develop cancer in their lives, and one in eight men and one in eleven women die of the disease. Worldwide, the total number of people living within 5 years of being diagnosed with cancer, called the 5-year incidence, is estimated at 43.8 million. The rising burden of cancer is attributable to several factors, including population growth and aging, as well as the evolving incidence of certain cancer causes linked to social and economic development. This is particularly true in fast-growing economies, where there is a shift from poverty-related cancers and infections to cancers more typical of industrialized countries associated with lifestyles.</p><p></p><div id="om-cyleseddvagssksuvew3-holder"></div><h3><strong>The growing use of cancer patient registry data for post-marketing surveillance</strong></h3><p>Upon approval of a medication or device by a regulatory authority, the product is commonly used by larger and more diverse audiences than is normally tested in clinical trials leading up to approval. Subsequently, the post-approval period is a significant phase for recognizing and understanding product safety issues relevant to both acute and chronic use. The need for post-approval (also known as post-marketing) safety assessment as it exists today was originally born out of well-publicized product safety problems that were initially identified by clinicians that noticed a pattern of rare serious events.</p><p>In comparison to clinical trials, where inclusion criteria are typically narrowly focused and stringent by design, registry populations are usually more representative of the population currently using a product or undergoing a procedure, as inclusion criteria are generally broad and can theoretically include all patients exposed regardless of age, comorbidities or concurrent treatment. Data collection may lead to insights into prescription practices or off-label use by providers and data about the potential for testing new indications within the expanded patient population.</p><p></p><h2><strong>To conclude</strong></h2><p>According to cancer growth theory, cancer has its roots in a single cell. The cell continues to divide and expand inside the originating organ, spreads to adjacent tissue or drainage areas of the regional lymph node, and then spreads to distant organs or structures. Cancer will spread through the bloodstream directly from the originating organ into distant organs without affecting neighboring organs and regional lymph nodes. Staging is a popular language created by medical professionals to pass on cancer knowledge to others.</p><p></p><p><strong>Free Valuable Insights:</strong> <a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/news/cancer-registry-software-market/">Global Cancer Registry Software Market to reach a market size of USD 90.8 million by 2025</a></p><p></p><p>It determines the magnitude of the cancer of a person depending on the extent of the original tumor (the "site") and the degree to which cancer has spread. Staging cancer is important for a variety of reasons. It helps medical professionals accurately determine the severity of cancer and identify the most effective treatment for curing the disease, reducing the tumor burden or relieving symptoms. Staging is also used to predict the prognosis for the patients themselves.</p></div>Over The Air Transmission Platform Trends That Shape The Broadcasting Industryhttps://globalriskcommunity.com/profiles/blogs/over-the-air-transmission-platform-trends-that-shape-the2020-04-16T09:36:41.000Z2020-04-16T09:36:41.000ZKBV Researchhttps://globalriskcommunity.com/members/KBVResearch<div><p>The broadcasting industry is evolving its television channel platform through the implementation of advanced technology transmission systems, alongside advancements in the technology. The broadcasting sector has experienced a lot of changes in transmission technologies over the last few years. <a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/over-the-air-transmission-platform-market/">Over-the-Air (OTA) transmissio</a> is also one of the television industry&#39;s new technology platforms.</p><p></p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8028316878,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8028316878,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="8028316878?profile=original" /></a></p><p></p><p>The introduction of 5 G technology and the increase in trend of online/on-demand content services are projected to raise profitability from the broadcasting industry in the coming years. The air service providers are thus looking for big opportunities in these disruptive technologies, and therefore investing in digitizing their current transmission platforms.</p><p></p><h2><strong>What is an OTA transmission platform?</strong></h2><p>OTA is a platform for wireless transmission in the broadcasting industry. It is widely used for wireless broadcasting of channels in television and radio platforms. The media industry is evolving its broadcast channel framework alongside technological advancements by implementing advanced technology transmission platforms. ARTC 3.0 is a next-generation transmission platform that utilizes advanced error correction for the physical layer and emerging technologies to produce wireless data through an IP delivery system. It is also known to be a crucial technology used on the OTA transmission platform.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Some of the popular OTA transmission platforms:</strong></h2><h3><strong>Radio</strong></h3><p>Over-the-air (OTA) transmission can also include TV and radio broadcasts that are transmitted and received over the air. OTA is most commonly used to contrast TV channels that are broadcast over the air with those that cable service providers sell. OTA channels are local channels that can be accessed using a conventional antenna called the "bunny ears." These channel forms are free and require no monthly subscription. Most cable providers offer digital versions of OTA channels that are unique to the area of each customer.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Television</strong></h3><p>Over-the-air (OTA) provides access to all users even though they don't have a subscription to cable or satellite television. Cord cutters and cord shavers are one of the best things to happen, as it gives them free TV through a digital antenna. Further, they're having even more channels for free with the move to digital broadcast a decade ago — and in better HD quality.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Mobile</strong></h3><p>OTA signals used to program, upgrade, configure and distribute hardware devices are known collectively as OTAP (Over-The-Air Programming). One example is over-the-air activation (OTAA), which allows the users to unlock a new mobile phone wirelessly by simply entering a code or following specific steps. This automated service that most mobile providers have will save a trip to a mobile phone service location when they purchase a new phone. OTA transmissions can even submit updates to approved devices, such as new carrier settings and even OS updates.</p><p>Another example is the over-the-air service provisioning (OTASP), which is used for remote activation and configuration of various devices for a particular community of users, such as radio handsets. OTASP messages are usually sent from a central server and can be encrypted to safeguard personal data. OTAA and OTASP all are OTAP subsets.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Trends that would shape broadcasting over the coming years</strong></h2><p>Staying relevant is difficult but necessary for long-term survival with the rapid shift in the audience from television to digital. Broadcasting television isn't gone — but it's changing rapidly, so there's a need for change to prevent irrelevance.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Quality and Timeliness of Information </strong></h3><p>The broadcast media industry is rapidly evolving. With plenty of weather and news available to all at their disposal, the focus is likely to turn to information quality and timeliness. The most effective media outlets would be those capable of providing reliable, local and up-to-the-minute updates. For example, weather forecasts which are as old as a few hours and which are too broad for areas will probably no longer be important.</p><p>New creative ways of disseminating content, like CBSN, a news service that streams 24 hours a day, will become even more useful. Improvements in weather technology and modeling will be crucial in ensuring the delivery of reliable, local information that people now crave and anticipate.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Making Connections for and with Users </strong></h3><p>A phenomenon that distinguishes the important broadcasters from the fading ones as the sector continues to grow rapidly: engaging with their customers and communicating with their customers. Broadcasters are pouring out more content in both volume and variety, but some are more effective at making it catch on than others. It's not that what the winners generate is naturally better than the others.</p><p>In this era of knowledge abundance, there is a dizzying number of dots to bind. Broadcasters tend to be keen on presenting the information accurately but avoid connecting the dots. Growing numbers of broadcasters are distilling weather information to consider the real needs of users, which is where broadcasters have to go to remain relevant in the everyday lives of users.</p><p></p><h3><strong>More Powerful Consumer Smartphones</strong></h3><p>Lastly, it's a huge change that few speak about, but it's going to make a major difference for us in broadcasting and especially for the rich weather content. Through leaps and limits, the mobile apps themselves are getting stronger. A modern smartphone's GPU computation cycle is similar to the GPU power required to do the real-time rendering. </p><p>All of the technological transitions reflect major changes in broadcasting for users. But what's much more important is the fact that all of these developments collide at the same time. Major technological changes in television used to happen every 5-7 years in increments. The broadcasting industry is at the turning point where, in every 6-9 months, these major changes will layer.</p><p></p><h2><strong>To sum up</strong></h2><p>The over-the-air (OTA) transmission platform market is growing among broadcasters as manufacturers of television & streaming devices have introduced ATSC 3.0-capable televisions worldwide. As more users switch to OTA, the content at very low CAPEX & OPEX will be made available locally. Customizing content at station level will offer major benefits to TV networks, and promote creativity in ads.</p><p></p><p><strong>Free Valuable Insights:</strong> <a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/news/over-the-air-transmission-platform-market/">Global Over-the-Air (OTA) Transmission Platform Market to reach a market size of USD 124.3 million by 2025</a></p><p></p><p>For example, graphics appearing on ads can be personalized with a local number that the viewer can contact. It will not only allow the television advertiser and television station to provide more specific customer service but also to assess data on regional ROI as well as creative efficiency.</p></div>What’s Trending In The Healthcare Supply Chain Management?https://globalriskcommunity.com/profiles/blogs/what-s-trending-in-the-healthcare-supply-chain-management2020-04-15T08:30:00.000Z2020-04-15T08:30:00.000ZKBV Researchhttps://globalriskcommunity.com/members/KBVResearch<div><p>Healthcare supply chain management can be a daunting job due to its fragmented nature. It is where control of the supply chain of healthcare is essential for organizations. Supply chain management in healthcare includes planning, designing, implementing, monitoring and tracking the movement of products and services.</p><p></p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8028317854,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8028317854,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="8028317854?profile=original" /></a></p><p></p><p>This allows greater net value to be generated, supply to be matched with demand, sustainability to be achieved with efficient logistic force and performance measurement. <a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/healthcare-supply-chain-management-market/">Healthcare supply chain</a> software streamlines the sourcing of medical equipment, inventory control and the control of total spending. The software also encourages and facilitates accountability among primary care providers, ancillary care providers, and non-acute care providers in the types of services and procedures they offer patients.</p><p></p><h2><strong>What is the healthcare supply chain management?</strong></h2><p>Supply chain management is similar to all others in the healthcare sector. It's supply management from one place to the next. The supply chain for health care begins at a supplier of medical supplies, where items are manufactured and sent to a distribution center. The product will be scanned, processed, or sent out from the distribution center and then sent to the right organization or hospital. The hospital is responsible for managing its supply chain to healthcare from there.</p><p>The healthcare supply chain management allows stakeholders such as manufacturers, distributors, and retailers to ease the ordering and receiving of medical services and goods. Using this program, doctors, nurses and medical professionals can automate activities related to the manual, time-consuming supply chain, utilize workflows and business intelligence to reduce costs, and eventually enhance care delivery. Additionally, tools for the healthcare supply chain allows hospitals and physician practices to adhere and provide value-based care.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Recent developments in the healthcare supply chain management technology</strong></h2><h3><strong>RFID Tags</strong></h3><p>RFID is progressively advancing to asset monitoring, inventory control, and supply chain management in the sector such as health care and pharmaceutical. Inventory management, in particular, uses RFID technology to monitor the displacement of medication, medical supplies, along with reducing mistakes and ensuring better patient safety. RFID believes that people support this idea of a smart cabinet to get a better solution for medical treatment.</p><p>Hospitals can send their requirements directly to retailers, suppliers, and distributors with help from Radio-frequency identification technology. It provides superior consistency in the supply chain process. The approach also offers an adequate system that can allow for a safer healthcare service.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Barcodes</strong></h3><p>Healthcare supply chain management barcodes illustrate their true power through their function in allowing common formats and promoting data centers to exchange reliable, real-time information between trading partners. Advanced supply chain companies today use a mix of RFID tags and readers, barcode labels and handheld long-range scanners to improve the speed and ease of data collection to track inventory.</p><p>By integrating barcode and RFID data capture methods with relational database software, supply chain organizations can increase the efficiency and precision of their operations, including identifying, retrieving and paying for everything that moves inside or outside the facility.</p><p>Supply chain companies using mobile barcode and RFID technologies will increase turnover and maximize inventory, as well as enhance the efficiency of their manufacturing, ordering and/or shipping operations. If productivity is substantially increased, resources can be re-allocated to tasks of higher value or more critical areas.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Healthcare supply chain management industry trends</strong></h2><h3><strong>A Clinically-Integrated Supply Chain</strong></h3><p>A supply chain called "clinically integrated" is key to success. Professionals in the supply chain and physicians work closely together, sharing information, comparing outcomes and making educated decisions. Physicians use a supply chain professional partnership to provide feedback on price points, conditions, and alternatives.</p><p>Automation reduces order errors which cost suppliers and providers through inaccurate invoices, payments, and products. An automated process helps providers and manufacturers to easily spot inconsistencies, resolving issues in real-time. In the supply chain, we can only control about 20 percent of the cost without the participation of the clinicians. The relationship between physicians and the supply chain practitioners directly affects the supply chain in promoting patient care.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Healthcare Supply Chain Management and AI</strong></h3><p>Artificial intelligence has the capacity for massive transformation in the healthcare industry. Far from making computers make decisions about diagnosis or treatment options, however, other future advancements address the more basic aspects of managing health care facilities and personnel that affect one of modern medicine's greatest problems — cost control.</p><p>Artificial intelligence holds the potential for a monumental transformation of the healthcare industry. Far from having computers make decisions about diagnosis or treatment options, however, other horizon advances tackle the more basic aspects of managing health care facilities and personnel that impact one of the main challenges in modern medicine — cost control.</p><p>The primary use for artificial intelligence in healthcare is to collect data from the real-time supply chain, exploit the knowledge to create insights for predicting what might happen in the future, and then administer solutions for those anticipated events. Predictive analytics will notify when preventive maintenance is needed for a medical vehicle in your fleet. This could raise concerns about potential storage of materials as well as weather-related or even political disruption.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Supply chain and customer service — adapting to patient expectations</strong></h3><p>As consumers pay greater shares of health-care costs, price transparency has increased in value. Supply chain executives are constantly focusing on customer service to connect and interact more directly with patients about their healthcare. Additionally, when trying to reach out to societies, telehealth is becoming a more prevalent method.</p><p>Telehealth services are increasing patient access to treatment in several different ways. Telehealth is also a way for hospitals to access data, beyond accessing patients remotely. Technology plays an important part in the consumer experience. From a supply chain viewpoint, the legacy systems and old data cannot be integrated into modern technologies.</p><p>Leaders in the supply chain must adjust to the changing healthcare climate to help move their organizations forward. Strong leaders will continually look ahead to what patients and caregivers need to ensure the highest quality of care.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Healthcare supply chain management: In a nutshell</strong></h2><p>Healthcare supply chain management automation enables market innovation that has never been seen before. Automation allows a product to be tracked through individual patient results from its roots. The data generated by tracing all of that information is essential to cost reduction. Advanced data analytics helps healthcare providers to make better operations management decisions and to forecast demand accurately.</p><p></p><p><strong>Free Valuable Insights:</strong> <a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/news/healthcare-supply-chain-management-market/">Global Healthcare Supply Chain Management Market to reach a market size of USD 3 billion by 2025</a></p><p></p><p>Annually, hospitals can save millions of dollars simply by strengthening their supply chains. The rapidly evolving healthcare sector has encouraged companies to create supply chain models that can satisfy the demands for pharmaceutical and medical devices. This allows companies to improve the management of the healthcare supply chain and exploit its advantage to transform speed, flexibility, quality, and durability across the entire value chain to outsmart the competition.</p></div>All You Need to Know About the Contrast Mediahttps://globalriskcommunity.com/profiles/blogs/all-you-need-to-know-about-the-contrast-media2020-04-14T08:52:01.000Z2020-04-14T08:52:01.000ZKBV Researchhttps://globalriskcommunity.com/members/KBVResearch<div><p>Contrast media enhance and boost image quality (or pictures), so that the radiologist (a medical doctor qualified to analyze the pictures and give a written report to the patient's physician or medical) may report more reliably on how the body functions and whether there is any illness or abnormality present.</p><p></p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8028312866,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8028312866,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="8028312866?profile=original" /></a></p><p></p><p></p><p>Contrast media, also called contrast agents, are used for blood enhancement and tissue perfusion.

The development of ionic contrast media-enabled radiologists has helped to visualize vessels and organs on various imaging studies. Some have a degree of toxicity, however, and the advent of non-ionic media resulted in less adverse reactions. New contrast media are low ionic, iso-osmolar, and gadolinium-based media.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Types of contrast media products</strong></h2><h3><strong>Iodinated</strong></h3><p>Iodine-containing contrast medium (ICCM) is a chemical material used in medical X-ray imaging, also called a contrast medium or contrast medium. When inserted into the body, ICCM reveals what happens within the body's hollow parts (such as the blood vessels, the liver, the intestine or even the fluid around the spinal cord) on X-ray images or videos. When inserted into a blood vessel that can be either an artery or a vein, it not only reveals the interior of the blood vessel but it can also provide details about how the organs supplied by that blood vessel function. The liver, the brain, and the lungs are perfect examples of this.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Gadolinium-based</strong></h3><p>Gadolinium-based contrast medium can cause a condition known as systemic nephrogenic fibrosis (NSF) in patients with severely reduced function of the kidneys. A blood test called an approximate glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is typically used to assess significantly reduced function. Whether your eGFR is 30 mL/min or below, whether you are severely unwell and your kidney function is rapidly worsening, you have a marginally higher chance of NSF by using these contrast agents.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Microbubble</strong></h3><p>Composed of a gas core with a stabilizing shell, microbubbles (MBs) act as contrast agents for ultrasonic imaging. Each MB has a diameter of a few microns, and can, therefore, be safely injected intravenously. MBs are strongly echogenic at frequencies that correspond to the spectrum of clinical ultrasound due to the impedance mismatch between the MB and the surrounding tissue and their near-resonant oscillation.</p><p>This oscillation generates a powerful echo returned from an incident ultrasound pulse, with single MBs detected in vivo inside vessels. MBs are also used widely for ultrasound imaging1 and, more recently, for images with super-resolution. Microbubble contrast agents are commonly used in ultrasonic imaging and therapy, usually with MHz frequencies in the transmission center.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Contrast media applications</strong></h2><h3><strong>Neurological disorders</strong></h3><p>Neurological conditions are increasingly recognized by patients, their families, and society as one of the most common diseases with a high burden. Neurological disorders are increasingly recognized as one of the most prevalent disorders with a high burden to the patients, their families, and society. The iodinated contrast media&#39;s capacity to amplify X-rays depends on the number of iodine molecules present in the tissue to be pictured and it is inversely proportional to the X-ray energy used for imaging. Thus, the type and amount of contrast media used for a given purpose often depend on the imaging characteristics required.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Cardiovascular disorders</strong></h3><p>Cardiovascular disorders (CVDs), consisting of ischemic heart disease, stroke, heart failure, peripheral arterial disease, and a variety of other cardiac and vascular conditions, are the leading cause of global mortality and contribute significantly to a decreased quality of life. CVD caused an estimated 17.8 million deaths globally in 2017, leading to 330 million years of life loss and another 35.6 million years of handicapped living. Taken together with data on CVD and the incidence of the risk factor, these overview safety indicators can be useful to cardiologists, other physicians, and specialists in public health.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Musculoskeletal disorders</strong></h3><p>Musculoskeletal disorders are the world's leading contributor to the impairment, with low back pain being the single leading cause of global impairment. Musculoskeletal conditions and accidents are not just older-age disorders; they are common throughout life. About one in three and one in five people (including children) live with the condition of musculoskeletal pain.</p><p>Musculoskeletal disorders dramatically impair mobility and dexterity, resulting in early retirement from employment, decreased accumulated wealth and reduced social roles capacity. Musculoskeletal conditions account for the greatest proportion of non-cancer chronic pain conditions. MRI uses a strong magnetic field, radio waves and a computer to produce detailed pictures of joints, soft tissues, and bones. Usually, it is the safest option for body evaluation of fractures, tumors, and degenerative disorders.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Cancer</strong></h3><p>Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide, according to the World Health Organization, and is responsible for an estimated 9.6 million deaths in 2018. Around one in six deaths worldwide occur due to cancer. In low- and middle-income countries, nearly 70 percent of cancer deaths take place. Around one-third of cancer deaths are due to the five main lifestyle and dietary risks: high body mass index, poor consumption of fruit and vegetables, lack of physical activity, use of tobacco, and alcohol use.</p><p>Among low- and middle-income countries, cancer that induces infections such as hepatitis and human papillomavirus (HPV) is responsible for up to 25 percent of cancer. Presentation in late stages and inadequate diagnosis and care is normal. In 2017, just 26 percent of low-income countries reported having general public sector pathology services. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasingly the choice of imaging tool for the identification and treatment of both benign and malignant tumors.</p><p></p><h2><strong>What’s trending in the industry?</strong></h2><h3><strong>Preload Contrast Protocols</strong></h3><p>Power injectors with normal, preloaded media contrast protocols help to make images more accurate, irrespective of the technologist or radiologist who is using the device. Several years of work have been invested in these protocols by major academic centers to support CT users with the improved capabilities of their newer imaging systems. It is especially important for centers that use various types of scanners, where various protocols are required depending on each type of scanner and multiple examination factors such as the parameters of the contrast media, injection rate, length, type of organ being imaged and weight of the patient.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Key Differences in Injectors</strong></h3><p>CT devices use a dual-head injector with two syringes during the imaging for initial and follow-up dose comparisons. Injectors used in angiography of the cath lab are single-head injectors that use one syringe. Another major difference is where the contrast is added. Both CT-systems use venous access. Air embolism is not a big concern, because any tiny bubbles inserted into a vein are being expelled into the lungs. Angiography devices inject contrast into arteries where the extreme risk of an air embolism can be present. Several cath laboratory injectors have detectors of air embolism, warning of bubbles in the line before they enter a patient.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Workflow Improvements</strong></h3><p>Several injector systems are provided to manage data. These provide data for calculating efficiencies in the process, quality of the imaging and patient health. The systems will implement multi-detector CT protocols that are preprogrammed. PACS informatics solution that combines the CT contrast-injection record of each patient with the relevant clinical image collection stored in the Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS). When studies are conducted it simultaneously records and preserves parameters of contrast injection in the protected database electronically. The program provides access to Web-based information from all over the hospital and remote locations.</p><p></p><p><strong>Free Valuable Insights:</strong> <a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/news/contrast-media-market/">Global Contrast Media Market to reach a market size of USD 6.3 billion by 2025</a></p><p></p><h2><strong>To sum up</strong></h2><p>The contrast media market is still in its development phase but will evolve in the years to come. Various factors such as the rise in acceptability for contrast agents and the increasing number of diagnostic centers that have expanded diagnostic imaging services contribute to the growth of the market. Several advanced methods, such as the technologies used in MRI imaging is a gas microbubble, are likely to boost the market growth. Factors including growing investments in the contrast media market and the changes in the radiopharmaceuticals and healthcare sector are fueling the market growth.</p></div>Walking Aids Market And Mobility Industry Trendshttps://globalriskcommunity.com/profiles/blogs/walking-aids-market-and-mobility-industry-trends2020-04-13T10:32:37.000Z2020-04-13T10:32:37.000ZKBV Researchhttps://globalriskcommunity.com/members/KBVResearch<div><p>A lot of people with disabilities have a major problem with mobility. Mobility aids such as electric wheelchairs, lift vans, and rollers have been developed by technology. Mobility aids are used for people with diabetes, MS, Parkinson's disease, back pain, cerebral palsy, and many other physical restricting conditions for people with disabilities and/or health problems also called Ambulation aids.</p><p></p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8028317652,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8028317652,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="8028317652?profile=original" /></a></p><p></p><p>Mobility aids help walk or travel from one position to another whether they're disabled, old, or injured. Mobility aids include items such as walkers, canes, crutches, motorized scooters, and manual and electric wheelchairs. Walking aids are devices designed to help walk or enable mobility.</p><h2><strong>All about walking aids</strong></h2><p><a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/walking-aids-market/">Walking aids</a> are often called rehabilitation aids. A walking aid is one of the aids that can be provided by a patient to enhance their walking pattern, balance or health when independently mobilizing. These can also be a way of moving weight from the upper limb to the bottom, in situations where the lower limb is needed to minimize weight-bearing.</p><p>A mobility aid is a tool intended to help people with a mobility disability walk or otherwise improve mobility. Various walking aids can support walking and wheelchairs or mobility scooters for more serious disabilities or longer journeys that would otherwise be performed on foot. The white cane and guide dog have a long tradition of use for individuals who are blind or visually impaired. Other aids may help with mobility or move within a house, or where level changes are taking place.</p><p>The term "mobility aid" was initially referred mainly to mechanical devices with low technology. The term also appears in official records, dealing, for example, with different kinds of tax concessions. It refers to those tools whose usage allows for a similar freedom of movement to that of unassisted walking or getting up from a chair. Technical advances can be expected to significantly expand the reach of these devices, by using sensors and auditory or tactile feedback.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Rollators</strong></h3><p>Studies have found a decline in quadriceps use during the stance process due to a decrease in knee extender movement. Due to the increased forward trunk bending, there is also an increase in hip flexion in the stance process. During roller-walking, the reduced knee flexion may probably explain the reduced ankle joint dorsiflexion found in this case.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Canes</strong></h3><p>Canes are similar to crutches, as they bear the weight of the body and help transfer the load from the legs to the upper body. These take less weight off the lower body, though, than crutches and put more pressure on the hands and wrists. The white canes are specifically designed to support visually disabled people. White canes are longer and narrower than conventional canes, enabling the user to spot items along the way. They even inform others if the individual is blind or visually impaired.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Walkers</strong></h3><p>A walker is a walking aid that has four contact points with the ground, and typically has three sides with the patient's closest side being accessible. This has a larger support base than a walking stick and is hence more used to stabilize patients with weak balance and mobility. Having a caregiver and being unable to walk faster than one meter per second has been correlated strongly with the use of walking frames.</p><p>Paradoxically, the use of walkers or frames was associated with an increased risk of falling in both neighborhood residents and residential care residents. Using a walker can also increase metabolic and musculoskeletal demands, so medication and education are important to help the consumer maintain their balance, reduce their risk of falling and improve their level of exercise.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Growing trends in mobility technology</strong></h2><h3><strong>Peripheral nervous system interface (PNS) control</strong></h3><p> Prosthetic control at the upper extremity is difficult because of both the number of potential movements to be controlled and the restricted number of locations for conventional control interfaces. An advantageous option is to operate a prosthetic arm or hand from the same nerve that once held afferent and efferent information between the arm and the brain. This approach would potentially be more accessible for the consumer and would include a means to provide sensory input.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Improved user-technology integration</strong></h3><p>The solutions found for improving integration can be narrowly divided into three non-mutually exclusive areas including improvements in the functionality of assistive technology; improvements in the physical interface of user technology; and enhanced shared control between the consumer and the machine. Improvements to the mechanics of technology require developments in hardware and software.</p><p>Improvements to the physical interface usually centered on better exploiting user's ability to use the system and providing more intuitive control of devices. The panel noted a move towards improved incorporation of user-technology into four main technologies: powered wheelchairs, prosthetics, practical electrical stimulation, and exoskeletons robotics.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Prosthetic limb control</strong></h3><p>The complexities of prosthetic development include replacing both the efferent nervous system (i.e., motion) and the afferent nervous system (i.e., sensory feedback). Once all efferent and afferent mechanisms are properly replaced, adequate prosthetic limb function is achieved.</p><p>In Europe, three innovative methods were found to better interface with the patient and their prosthesis. his included improved computer vision control, which is an example of enhancing both the unit and the shared control system; peripheral nervous system interfaces, an example of improved interfaces; and kinematic/ kinetic-based control, a mechanism that enhances limb mechanics through software and offers better interface. The first two methods target the prosthetic function of the upper limb, and the third target the lower limb.</p><p></p><h2><strong>To conclude</strong></h2><p>High proliferation of osteoporosis & arthritis and increased awareness; adoption of canes, crutches & walkers are projected to drive walking aids market growth over the forecast period. In addition, factors such as technological advances, an increasing number of initiatives and funding from governments and international organizations, and a growing number of post-surgery rehabilitation programs are expected to contribute to market growth.</p><p></p><p><strong>Free Valuable Insights:</strong> <a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/news/walking-aids-market/">Global Walking Aids Market to reach a market size of USD 3.3 billion by 2025</a></p><p></p><p>Although all walking aids do have the same purpose effectively, it is clear that there are several different approaches to achieve improved mobility and businesses are going their separate ways to do that. And while dealers can guarantee that walking aids are going to be sold, being on board with the correct suppliers and products is crucial to producing a successful end-user outcome, a strong margin and repeat business.</p></div>Human Growth Hormone Applications and Key Market Trendshttps://globalriskcommunity.com/profiles/blogs/human-growth-hormone-applications-and-key-market-trends2020-04-10T06:38:46.000Z2020-04-10T06:38:46.000ZKBV Researchhttps://globalriskcommunity.com/members/KBVResearch<div><p>Growth hormone (GH) treatment has been a prevalent treatment for children with severe growth hormone deficiency (GHD). Nevertheless, today, with an excess of recombinant <a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/human-growth-hormone-market/">human growth hormon</a>(rhGH), it is also used to treat a wide range of other conditions. RhGH may be used to treat short-term GH deficiency (GHD), insufficiency, and other disorders leading to poor growth.</p><p></p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8028317072,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8028317072,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="8028317072?profile=original" /></a></p><p></p><p>At present, it is also used in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF), Prader Willi syndrome (PWS), Turner syndrome (TS), small gestational age (SGA) with no upward development of 2 years, idiopathic short stature (ISS) and some short-term dysmorphic syndromes. Through the growth hormone therapy, many children can attain adult heights better than expected- on the basis of their growth pattern of pretreatment.</p><p></p><h2><strong>All about human growth hormone</strong></h2><p>Growth hormone (GH) is an ancestral hormone in the anterior pituitary and is episodically secreted from somatotroph cells. The physiology and control of GH have been a significant area of research interest in the field of endocrinology since the discovery of its numerous and complex effects.</p><p>The human growth hormone has a broad variety of roles in physiological functions. HGH primarily affects cell development, metabolism, and differentiation by influencing the GH-IGF1 development axis promotes protein synthesis, and accelerates fat and mineral metabolism to develop bones, viscera, and muscles. This may also influence the role of the immune tissue, brain tissue, and the hematopoietic system.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Human growth hormone applications</strong></h2><h3><strong>Prader-Willi Syndrome</strong></h3><p>Prader-Willi syndrome is a complex genetic disorder involving multiple body parts. In infancy, this syndrome is characterized by low muscle tone (hypotonia), difficulties in eating, slow development, and delayed development. Beginning in puberty, the individuals affected grow an insatiable appetite that contributes to chronic overeating (hyperphagia) and obesity. Some people with Prader-Willi syndrome often develop type 2 diabetes (the most common form of diabetes), especially those with obesity. Recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) therapy in children with PWS improves symptoms, and early diagnosis results in more favorable outcomes.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Idiopathic Short Stature</strong></h3><p>Short stature may either be a natural growth type or can be caused by a disease. Beyond the first year or two of life, the most common causes of short stature are family (genetic) short stature and delayed (constitutional) growth, which is natural, non-pathological variants of development. A common reason for referral to a pediatrician is shorter stature or poor growth. In children with causes such as dietary deficit, short family size, constitutional development and puberty delay, chronic systemic disease or malabsorption (including celiac disease), hypothyroidism, growth hormone deficiency needs to be addressed. </p><p></p><h3><strong>Turner Syndrome</strong></h3><p>Turner's syndrome is a chromosomal condition that affects female growth. Turner syndrome's most prominent characteristic is short stature, which becomes evident at about age 5. It is also very normal to have an early loss of ovarian function (ovarian hypofunction or premature ovarian failure). The ovaries typically develop at first, but generally egg cells (oocytes) die prematurely and most ovarian tissue degenerates before birth. Many affected girls do not undergo puberty unless they are treated with hormone therapy, and others are unable to conceive (infertile). By young adulthood, a small number of females with Turner syndrome maintain normal ovarian function.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Human growth hormone trends that shape the industry growth</strong></h2><h3><strong>Human growth hormone for Mucopolysaccharidoses and growth hormone deficiency</strong></h3><p>Treatment with recombinant human growth hormone in Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) affected patients is considered if a concomitant diagnosis of growth hormone deficiency is demonstrated. Due to the normal development of disease-related skeletal malformations and the lack of patients treated, the short- and long-term effects of recombinant human growth hormone in this selected population are still debated. Recombinant human growth hormone appears to have effectively reversed the deceleration of growth experienced by patients with growth hormone deficiency diagnosed with MPS, at least within the first 12–24 months of treatment.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Human growth hormone for weight training and bodybuilding</strong></h3><p>The human growth hormone is very common among bodybuilders and athletes due to the many benefits it offers. Besides burning fat, it is also very effective for muscle building. Because of a possible muscle growth and strength benefit, bodybuilders and athletes who have been tempted to take performance-enhancing drugs and supplements such as steroids have taken HGH to achieve an athletic advantage, or for rapid, aesthetic muscle growth. Because digestion can break down HGH taken orally, it is injected when it is used as a supplementary drug. The bodybuilding industry was the first to find that HGH wasn’t just some drug to help growing children. This industry was also the first to quickly understand HGH’s anabolic properties and it could help them in achieving their only goal of a huge, youthful, well-ripped body.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Human growth hormone to slow down the aging</strong></h3><p>Some define the human growth hormone as the secret to stopping the aging process. Growth hormones drive childhood development and help keep tissues and organs healthy. It is formed by the pituitary pea-sized gland — located at the base of the brain. However, beginning in the middle ages, the pituitary gland gradually decreases the amount of growth hormone that it releases.</p><p>This natural slowing has sparked an interest in using synthetic human growth hormone (HGH) as a way to stave off some of the changes associated with aging, such as diminished muscle and bone mass. Limited and inconsistent reports of healthy adults taking human growth hormone are. While human growth hormone appears to be able to increase muscle mass and reduce the amount of body fat in healthy older adults, the increase in muscle does not translate into increased power.</p><p></p><p><strong>Free Valuable Insights:</strong> <a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/news/human-growth-hormone-market/">Global Human Growth Hormone Market to reach a market size of USD 7.1 billion by 2025</a></p><p></p><h2><strong>To conclude</strong></h2><p>The Human Growth Hormone Market is witnessing a surge in its adoption majorly due to the growing rate of the geriatric population. Among others, the aging population is more vulnerable to health problems like cataracts, arthritis, dementia, cancer, and CVDs, which require ongoing medical care, driving vast demand for elderly health facilities. According to W.H.O., from 900 million in 2015 the world’s geriatric population, 60 years of age and older, is expected to exceed 2 billion by 2050.</p></div>Medical Devices Advancements Bring New Trends For Medical Imaging Workstationshttps://globalriskcommunity.com/profiles/blogs/medical-devices-advancements-bring-new-trends-for-medical-imaging2020-04-08T08:11:52.000Z2020-04-08T08:11:52.000ZKBV Researchhttps://globalriskcommunity.com/members/KBVResearch<div><p></p><p>Advanced medical imaging offers improved image quality, fewer doses, and faster process timings. <a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/medical-imaging-workstations-market/">Medical imaging workstations</a> have evolved dramatically over the past few years, which have compelled businesses to focus more on improving technology and provide public access to the software.</p><p></p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8028315484,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8028315484,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="8028315484?profile=original" /></a></p><p></p><p>The application of workstations and IT in medical imaging is developing rapidly. Integration, however, is not yet in its final stages. While monitoring and interpreting the trends is difficult, it is important to make decisions to recognize the advantages of these systems and to make the transition from analog to digital imaging possible.</p><p></p><h2><strong>What are medical imaging workstations?</strong></h2><p>There are 2 different types of workstations. The first type is called Workstation "thick client." Such high-performance, high-resolution workstations are where radiologists spend much of their time and make the bulk of their choices. In comparison, there are "thin client" workstations that can be found on the clinic floor, on a physician's desk or in his or her home office, or as part of a portable system most recently. Such thin client workstations have Web browsers that are specially designed.</p><p></p><p>The thick client workstations are very similar to the common platforms of gaming. The gaming devices are fitted with high-performance computing capabilities and computer graphics equipment, all powered by local software. Similar to how we use thick client workstations in radiology, the gaming systems can run autonomously. Image sets can be downloaded to these workstations and they can also be operated locally (that is, without the need for a remote host machine to control the images).</p><p></p><p>The thin client portals are display stations such as those that you may have on your office or home desk or a wireless computer, such as a Web-enabled mobile phone or personal digital support. Such thin client displays use a remote collection of host computers to provide computing services. Imaging Web services are now everywhere to be found, particularly in a modern hospital or medical center.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Different kinds of modalities:</strong></h2><h3><strong>Computed Tomography (CT)</strong></h3><p>Giants in the deep learning field are developing advanced full body technology that can use AI to process CT scans. AI-powered medical imaging technology can show any suspicious findings on the medical scan of a patient so that radiologists can examine them. The AI systems seek to provide support for radiologists who focus on areas such as the chest, abdomen, spine, and head.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)</strong></h3><p>The new advancements in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology were on the software side, allowing for quicker contrast scans, significantly simplifying cardiac imaging workflows and enabling lung MR scans. In recent years, advancements in medical implant technology have significantly expanded the number of patients with these instruments, which has complicated MRI scanning of these patients. MR-conditional procedures include knee and hip replacements, spine procedures, pacemakers and cardioverter (ICD) implantable defibrillators.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Mammography</strong></h3><p>This cancer detection technology allows the breast tissue to be replicated in three-dimensions (3D), which can then be viewed across the breast as sequential slices. This new technique eliminates error and allows even dense tissue to be studied in detail. Tomosynthesis helps detect minute lung nodules and chest pathologies which can go undetected using traditional methods. This 3D imaging helps outline the anatomy of cancer in patients and more specifically assess the stage of the disease.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Medical industry trends that outline the advancements in medical imaging workstations market:</strong></h2><h3><strong>Virtual Reality & 3D Imaging</strong></h3><p>The medical imaging workstations industry is flooded with the Virtual Reality (VR) technology right now. Not only are VR and 3D imaging technologies useful for entertainment but they do have important consequences in the medical imaging industry. As amazing as MRIs and CT scans are, their presentation in 2D actually allows physicians to use their imaginations to mentally sew a complete image of the part of the 3D organ or body together. Now, modern virtual reality technologies, such as EchoPixel True 3D, have allowed radiologists or physicists to take slices of MRI images and produce a 3D image that physicians can view with 3D glasses, a VR headset, or even print using a 3D printer and special plastic.</p><p></p><h3> <strong>Automated CT Scanners</strong></h3><p>The diagnostic imaging market has seen major technological developments in the field of computed tomography over the last decade, including the advent of low-dose, automated CT scanners. These instruments deliver high image quality, with increased spatial resolution and low patient and surgeon sensitivity to radiation. These advanced CT devices have a simple screen, provide ease of operation and provide minimum space requirements for affordable installation. These factors drive the acceptance of these products by health care practitioners and researchers across major global healthcare markets.</p><p></p><h3><strong>AI as a supplemental lens for medical image analysis</strong></h3><p>Over several years, Artificial Intelligence dominated session tracks and names at picture conferences and industry headlines. Although it has the potential to significantly alter medical imaging in the long term, there are currently few FDA-cleaned requirements for the use of AI in DR; and overall acceptance in the healthcare sector has been sluggish.</p><p>AI would play a role as a supplementary lens for medical image processing in the near term by detecting subtler changes in scans while reducing the preparation time for care by analyzing large quantities of data. AI also has a lot of potential to improve operational performance, freeing experts from boring and repetitive tasks. Using AI and switching to 3D imaging complement each other because the images provide a vast amount of information that could be processed by a computer and shown to the radiologist or referring doctor.</p><p></p><h2><strong>To sum up</strong></h2><p>Although several innovations influence healthcare, this year AI dominated, with a smaller emphasis on 3-D imaging and printing. Other areas like cybersecurity are also starting to appear in radiology, and the protection of patient information is also an essential subject in radiology. The medical profession is no longer following prototyped practice, diagnosis, or treatment lines. This is a revolutionary development, as it has helped to improve many medical technologies.</p><p></p><p><strong>Free Valuable Insights:</strong> <a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/news/medical-imaging-workstations-market/">Global Medical Imaging Workstations Market to reach a market size of USD 6.2 billion by 2025</a></p><p></p><p>In healthcare IT, ideation has become the norm of the day.

The prosthesis has to be a precise combination of appropriate materials, alignment, design, and construction to fit the individual's functional needs. These requirements are dynamic and differ from the upper and lower extremities.</p><p></p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8028311093,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8028311093,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="8028311093?profile=original" /></a></p><p></p><p><a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/prosthetics-and-orthotics-market/">Lower limb prostheses</a> may tackle standing and walking mobility, shock absorption, energy recovery, and return, aesthetic appearance and even exceptional functional needs associated with running, jumping and other athletic activities. Upper limb prostheses may tackle reach and grip, common job difficulties such as hammering, painting, or weight lifting, and everyday life tasks such as eating, writing, and dressing.</p><p></p><p>Orthotics requires precision and ingenuity in the design and manufacture of external braces (orthoses) as part of a recovery method for a patient. The orthosis serves to regulate a physically disabled person's damaged or deformed regions of the body. Orthoses can be used in various body parts, including upper and lower limbs, cranium, or spine.</p><p>Popular orthotic treatments include scoliosis spinal orthoses, HALOs used in life-threatening neck injuries, and ankle-foot orthoses used in the rehabilitation of cerebral palsy children. More recently, orthoses were developed to radically realign the skull bones in children with positional plagiocephaly.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Recent developments in prosthetics</strong></h2><h3><strong>Consciously controlled limbs</strong></h3><p>The prosthetics and orthotics industry is at the peak age of artificial limbs with brain-controlled prosthetics available. This technology is only in the early stages, with the user having to use a brain implant to monitor his leg. But work is advancing quickly, and in the very near future, we may see regulation of the next generation of prosthetic limbs without a brain implant.</p><p>They aim to build wearables using the same brain functions that are used to regulate movement, bringing cognitive intelligence into the actual prosthetics, allowing for complete integration without intrusive brain operations.</p><p></p><h3><strong>3D printing</strong></h3><p>3D printing has become a trend not only in the field of manufacturing and construction but also in the whole of the prothesis culture. Throughout the world, 3D printing allows cost-effective development of working, prosthetics, enabling both children and adults to use lightweight, futuristic limbs in daily life.</p><p>That's even saving lives in some countries. In countries like Sudan, where children are recruited into rebel forces, wounded by weapons, landmines, and competing gangs, these 3D prosthetic limbs give these children and adolescents the chance to recover some normality in developing countries. As technology progresses we should expect to see more increases in the complexity of these 3D-printed limbs.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Microprocessor controlled prosthetics</strong></h3><p>Microprocessor-controlled prosthetics provide some typical prosthetic issues with a cutting-edge approach and are already available to the public. Mechanical prosthetics were used before the microprocessor. The mechanical edition, though still helpful, does not permit imitation of the way body parts work.</p><p>Activities such as standing, walking, and ascending stairs require a complex biological network of joint, tendon, bone, and muscle movements. The microprocessor can imitate these gestures, suit the walking gait of the person, and provide smoother, more natural motions through this development of the technology used in prosthetics.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Recent developments in orthotics</strong></h2><h3><strong>Computed Tomography</strong></h3><p>Computer tomography (CT) is an efficient tool for diagnostic facilitation and surgical preparation. The recorded images typically are in the axial or transverse plane. Modern scanners currently record images along different planes, allowing for volumetric reconstructions for 3D representations. Several studies have applied CT for orthopedic product manufacture.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Rapid prototyping technologies for orthotic devices</strong></h3><p>The combination of CAD and CAM is a well-known technique that is gaining growing attention in the field of orthotic devices to replace conventional craft practices. Customized development by RPT requires 3D anatomical surface scanning, 3D surface reconstruction, CAD modeling, stereolithography (STL) conversion, and finally machining using a computer-controlled special rapid prototyping machine (i.e. a 3D printer). RPT provides advantages in custom-fit orthotic system manufacturing processes, in terms of greater design flexibility, ability to build functional components, improved precision, and cost-efficiency.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Increasing prevalence of osteosarcoma</strong></h3><p>The growing prevalence of bone-related diseases like osteosarcoma, osteoporosis, and osteopenia would accelerate the growth of the global market. The increased geriatric population will also drive market growth. Osteosarcoma is the most common malignant bone tumor in the body.

SDR is a radio communication system where communication is carried out with software on an embedded system or personal computer. It eliminated the use of any hardware like amplifiers, filters, detectors, mixers, and modulators. <a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/software-defined-radio-market/">Software defined radio</a> can transmit and receive a broad frequency spectrum.</p><p></p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8028315100,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8028315100,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="8028315100?profile=original" /></a></p><h2><strong>What is the software defined radio technology?</strong></h2><p>Software-defined radio continues to evolve technologically as it can transmit and receive high-frequency, long-range signals. This provides many benefits while dealing with problems related to spectrum limits and wireless communications. In addition, technologies have matured to now support wide-bandwidth SDR implementations and provide high-quality service. Military modernization efforts in several countries such as the U.S., Japan, South Korea, Germany, and Australia, with a focus on improving their communication systems, are projected to drive SDR demand over the forecast period.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Software defined radio for various industry verticals:</strong></h2><h3><strong>Commercial aviation</strong></h3><p>A software-defined radio (SDR) system is identical to a front end radio frequency (RF) device. Previously hard-wired features such as modulation/demodulation, and encoding/decoding are not programmable. A benefit of SDR, relative to traditional radios, is the ability to reduce life-cycle costs. If additional capacity is needed once the radio has been delivered, this capacity can be added via software in most cases, thereby reducing the need for physical hardware change. SDR has seen deployment for combat troops among ground-based radio systems and is beginning to be employed in military avionics.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Public safety</strong></h3><p>In general, SDRs have software control of the operating parameters of the radio frequency, such as modulation preference, frequency transfer, bandwidth and transmit power level. An SDR framework can include multiple layers in the OSI hierarchy, but it includes mainly the physical link and sometimes part of the network layer.</p><p>When it comes to public safety, some main principles and strategies must be implemented in SDR. First responders must be effective because every second can be vital to life. This includes a stable, interoperable, efficient, scalable, and secure communications network. Currently, there are many various public safety departments that are constrained by incompatible radio systems operating on different frequency bands and/or using different protocols, requiring ad-hoc bridges between networks.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Telecommunication</strong></h3><p>Standards for commercial wireless networks are evolving constantly, from 2G/3G to 4G and 5G. These modifications create issues for customers, wireless network providers and suppliers of equipment; because consumers are forced to purchase new handsets when a new generation of network standards is introduced.</p><p>On the contrary, wireless network operators face problems, due to the existence of various subscribers, during network migration from one generation to the next. Each time a new standard is introduced in the market, the subscriber must purchase a new handset. Only SDR chip incorporation in mobile handsets will solve this migration problem, as only software upgrades will be necessary to solve the entire problem.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Software defined radio trends and industry insights</strong></h2><ol><li>In April 2019, BAE Systems has launched the new general software-defined radio assembly for industrial high-reliability and space applications from the Department of Defence. The SDR incorporates RAD5545 Single Board Computer (SBC) of the company with advanced Field Programmable Gate Array-based transceivers for versatility, on-orbit reprogram ability and improved signal processing capacity. The software's special, upgradable SpaceVPX architecture specified radio (SDR) can accommodate an alternative transceiver or design upgrade while maintaining assembly integrity.</li><li>Huawei released a Single Run device named 3G/2G Software Defined Radio (SDR) in November 2019. This product allowed mobile operators to move from 2 G to 3 G, or use both at the same time, providing operators with a total cost of ownership savings. The solution is built-in either 2G, 3G or mixed mode to allow operators to make considerable savings on CAPEX and OPEX, as they only need to install a single base station on the Radio Access Network compared to the costs of two independent 2G and 3G networks.</li><li>The demand for next-generation IP systems is growing, as one can increase profitability by providing consumers a variety of IP network products across the networks that bring new technologies to the market more rapidly, reduce transaction costs, and improve end-user experience. Highly mobile front- line communications of the next generation generally move away from the high-power single line of touch methods to a low power mesh network.</li></ol><p> </p><p>In this network, more operators are connected together through a multi-node mesh system. These networks are less vulnerable to single failure points and are designed to be self-healing so that the communications packets find the right route to the destination depending on traffic levels and available system bandwidth.</p><p></p><h2><strong>To sum up</strong></h2><p>The software defined radio market is witnessing a rapid adoption of IoT and wireless devices. Innovations in the technology for cellular infrastructure have undergone innovations such as changes in RF amplifier technology. Smartphone designs, for example, have foreseen the adoption of technologies like Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) and Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW).</p><p></p><p><strong>Free Valuable Insights:</strong> <a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/news/software-defined-radio-market/">Global Software Defined Radio (SDR) Market to reach a market size of USD 34.6 billion by 2025</a></p><p></p><p>Due to the low power filter requirements and restricted fractional bandwidth, the price factor for these has also been fairly narrowed. On the other hand, the drawbacks of using SDR technology include designing SDR, an expensive hardware and software platform.</p></div>Liver Health Supplements Market to Promote the Idea of a Healthy Liverhttps://globalriskcommunity.com/profiles/blogs/liver-health-supplements-market-to-promote-the-idea-of-a-healthy2020-04-02T11:39:56.000Z2020-04-02T11:39:56.000ZKBV Researchhttps://globalriskcommunity.com/members/KBVResearch<div><p>The human body is almost always vulnerable to the toxic materials that are in the air because of a lot of recent environmental changes. However, the body can effectively fight these toxins with a healthy lifestyle and a healthy liver. <a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/liver-health-supplements-market/">Liver health supplements</a> help to support and promote a healthy liver. This, in turn, leads to the overall health of the physical health. Some of the pills consist of milk thistle. Milk thistle is mainly used for a component known as silymarin, which is a major antioxidant and an anti-inflammatory component. Silymarin is also especially important in the fight against toxins in the environment.</p><p></p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8028316484,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8028316484,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="8028316484?profile=original" /></a></p><h2><strong>What are liver health supplements?</strong></h2><p>Liver health supplements are products that people eat or drink to supplement things like vitamins, minerals, enzymes, etc. Many additives come from natural sources, including plants. They come in all kinds of powders, from tablets of tonics. Many additives to liver health claim to cleanse and detoxify the liver. Regardless of treating liver disorders, some of these drugs simply make matters worse.</p><p>The liver is an organ performing over 500 functions inside the body, one of which is detoxification. It disrupts or interferes with its detoxification process by adding artificial substances to the liver, which is why people consuming them should be careful of what they eat or drink.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Types of liver health supplements</strong></h2><h3><strong>Herbal Supplements</strong></h3><p>Some of the on the market liver supplements contain a combination of three herbal ingredients called artichoke leaf, thistle milk, and root dandelion. Milk thistle has been used for more than 2,000 years to treat liver disorders. Silymarin is the active agent in milk thistle, which is composed of many natural plant chemicals. Artichoke leaf has antioxidant characteristics. While dandelion has been used to treat hepatic ailments, there is scant evidence of its benefits. There is a need for much more work to decide whether it is safe and efficient for that reason.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Vitamins & Minerals</strong></h3><p>Vitamins and minerals are responsible for keeping the body and bloodstream healthy and clear of old or damaged cells, producing proteins and helping to filter the blood. While a diet free of refined sugars and other foods and high in vitamin-rich whole ingredients can aid, the following vitamins can also give this vital organ an extra boost. Some of these are marketed in their pure form, whereas other supplements are extracted from entire plants offering a variety of benefits for hepatic boosting. We suggest instituting at least some of them in your daily schedule today, regardless of the choices you select.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Key trends that compel customers to consumer liver health supplements progressively</strong></h2><p>Non-alcoholic fatty liver, also known as NAFL or basic fatty liver, is also on the increase with the rising levels of obesity. This is a disease in which the excess fat builds up in the liver. NAFL alone does not necessarily mean liver cell damage or inflammation, but it is one of the most likely causes of liver disease in the US according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Growing awareness about the effects of herbal nutraceuticals</strong></h3><p>Herbal products have provided a storehouse of remedies in order to cure chronic and acute diseases. The awareness of herbals has accrued over thousands of years so that today they have many successful means of providing health care. Various nutraceuticals are present as key components in medicinal herbs. Herbal extracts such as b-sitosterol, cernilton and pygeum africum (African plum) are clinically studied for use in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Common herbal treatment involves the use of Echinacea to help prevent and treat colds and flu.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Increased health concerns in developed countries</strong></h3><p>Increased alcohol consumption across the globe has led to various health problems, including liver problems. In addition, the reduced quality of food and food products due to increased adoption of chemical fertilizers and adulteration of food products affect the function of the liver. The increasing prevalence of chronic disorders is a major driver of the market for liver health supplements. Various novel agents have shown improvements in clinical trials like obeticholic acid, thiazolidinedione and vitamin E for the treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Progressive benefits of consuming Vitamin K for liver health</strong></h3><p>Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin formed in the intestine, with excess amounts contained in the liver. Individuals with viral cirrhosis due to diseases such as hepatitis C are at higher risk of developing liver cancer. Nearly 80 percent of people with hepatocellular carcinomas have cirrhosis. The level of chronic hepatitis C infection is difficult to determine due to the level of undiagnosed infection.</p><p>After aging, disease severity and treatment adjustments, researchers found that women receiving vitamin K supplementation were almost 90% less likely to develop liver cancer. It is unclear how vitamin K can prevent cancer of the liver, but previous findings have shown that vitamin K2 can play a role in regulating cell growth. Vitamin K2 has a key role to play in the prevention of hepatocellular carcinoma in women with viral cirrhosis.</p><p></p><p></p><p><strong>Free Valuable Insights:</strong> <a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/news/liver-health-supplements-market/">Global Liver Health Supplements Market to reach a market size of USD 926.1 million by 2025</a></p><p></p><h2><strong>To conclude</strong></h2><p>The liver health supplements market is expected to grow due to obesity, diabetes, contaminants, and intakes of medicines. The demand for such products is particularly tough and involves expertise in the bioavailability of ingredients and durability in user-friendly forms. Businesses are taking advantage of the opportunity to launch a product in time to gain an advantageous position, get ahead of rivals, yet not rush production or risk mistakes that could harm the brand image.</p></div>Telecom Analytics And The Emergence Of Big Datahttps://globalriskcommunity.com/profiles/blogs/telecom-analytics-and-the-emergence-of-big-data2020-04-01T11:51:20.000Z2020-04-01T11:51:20.000ZKBV Researchhttps://globalriskcommunity.com/members/KBVResearch<div><p>The rapid growth in the usage of smartphones and other connected mobile devices has caused a spurt in the amount of data that flows through telecom operator networks. The operators must process, store, and extract information from the available data. By helping to optimize network use and services, improve customer experience, and improve security, Big Data analytics will help them increase productivity.</p><p></p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8028314056,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8028314056,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="8028314056?profile=original" /></a></p><p></p><p>Research has shown that telecom companies have significant potential to benefit from Big Data analytics. However, Big Data's potential presents a challenge as to how does a company leverage data to raise revenues and income around the value chain, covering network operations, product creation, marketing, distribution, and customer support.</p><h2><strong>What is telecom analytics?</strong></h2><p><a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/telecom-analytics-market/">Telecom analytics</a> is a form of explicitly applied and packaged business intelligence to meet the diverse needs of telecommunications organizations. The goal of telecom analytics is to lower operating costs and increase revenues by increasing revenue, reducing fraud and enhancing risk management. Telecom analytics solutions typically go far beyond what traditional business intelligence tools provide for monitoring and reporting, and can include sophisticated multidimensional analysis and forecasting.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Telecom analytics has a diverse range of applications:</strong></h2><h3><strong>Network management</strong></h3><p>The reliability of the network remains a vital aspect of performance for communications service providers. Downtime seconds can lead to millions of missed sales, increases in customer service calls and the need for fast diagnosis and remediation. IT workers need to have a network management system to navigate with so many unknowns.</p><p>When increasing amounts of rich content are being transmitted between devices, applications, and users, capacity demands on service providers have continued to increase in size and scope. Driven by convergence, M2M and the Internet of Things (IoT), both the complexity of distributed networks and the traffic rates continue to increase. Network providers provide some of the biggest, most diverse networks, serving geographically scattered facilities-from core to connection, head-end to outdoor facility, wired to wireless, and satellite. IT and network staff must provide remote access to these essential business infrastructures under all circumstances.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Customer management</strong></h3><p>The telecom industry is undergoing an explosion of competition and a period of hyper consumerization. The most immediate impact was a rise in consumer turnover. As a result, telecom companies are spending more on customer acquisition and maintenance. Nonetheless, the price point of delivering services to those consumers has remained the same, resulting in declining revenues. It's a tricky situation because consumer demand for multi-play services — such as broadband, cable TV, IP TV, mobile wallets, data, and content — can potentially improve sales if consumers can be kept.</p><p>The solution to both problems, consumer retention and improved Average User Revenue (ARPU), is the same: delivering outstanding Customer Experience (CX). Although in the last decade or so the industry has had a positive "customer first" management approach, customer expectations and perceptions are rapidly evolving. Operators need to take major technical steps to keep pace. Thankfully, the incentives to develop CX have also expanded with the rise in touchpoints.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Workforce management</strong></h3><p>Telecom workforce management is transforming as the so-called "gig economy" begins to enter the market. When operators focus more on raising their costs of building network infrastructure, an increasingly "hybrid" contract labor force and full-time workers are emerging. More and more telecommunications companies are taking a much more aggressive mixed workforce approach to have small-cell technology research done in the field and also within the conventional telecom sector work that involves boots on the ground.</p><p>Despite more emphasis on small cell installations and revenues that do not keep up with the mobile data traffic boom, operators are looking to cut labor costs. Technologies related to delivery are also keeping pace. Test vendors, for example, have spent the last few years introducing onto the market more instruments that have integrated capabilities and are often built for ease of use so that field techs can do some of the research that engineers used to do.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Role of big data in telecom analytics</strong></h2><h3><strong>Improving customer experience</strong></h3><p>The key use case for Big Data and telecom predictive analytics is optimizing customer service. For example, telecommunications marketing departments use clustering and unsupervised machine learning to segment the audience and then target individual clients.</p><p>Developing a library of more than 50 offers and then setting up a system to easily launch and evaluate relevant initiatives, telecommunications will minimize churn by 10–15 percent over the next 18 months. Telecom contact centers can also use predictive analytics based on customer records, technical reports, internal articles of expertise, service tickets and expert advice to speed up call resolution and enhance the customer experience.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Reducing fraud</strong></h3><p>Telecom fraud is a major reason why the telecom industry lost its income. For example, the annual cost of telecommunications subscription fraud is projected to reach $12B, although others expect that it would be between 3 and 10 percent of the gross revenues of the operators. Telecoms use fraud detection systems based on data mining algorithms to identify fraudulent customers and suspicious activity in near real-time to tackle this issue.</p><p>International revenue share fraud (IRSF) is another extremely harmful fraud in the telecoms market. For instance, according to the Communications Fraud Control Association (CFCA), the telecommunications industry has lost about $4B to fraud involving foreign revenue shares (IRSF). IRSF is triggered by artificial traffic inflation or traffic pumping up to the world's premium-rate levels. The fraud is conducted by traffic-generating hackers or fraudsters and PRN (Premium Rate Number) aggregators who acquire a list of fraudulent premium-rate numbers.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Network operations monitoring and management</strong></h3><p>One of the strategic use cases for mobile network operators (MNOs) is the monitoring and management of network operations. M According to Thractica research, monitoring, and management of network operations is expected to account for 61 percent of AI spending in the sector between 2016 and 2025. And it is only rational because predictive analytics helps to forecast traffic flows and routing peak times, and thus helps to ensure the smooth operation of networks.</p><p>Telecoms, for example, can predict the phases of the heaviest usage of the network arising from video sharing and reduce congestion at those times. As a result, telecommunications will reduce their expected capital investment by 15 percent. It also helps to forecast weather effects on the environment (for example, AT&T has developed a special method for assessing climate change). What's more, it goes a long way to directing workflows, managing technician distribution and delivering real-time network alerts.</p><p></p><h2><strong>The future of telecom analytics is with big data</strong></h2><p>Since a telecom company has to keep up with new technological breakthroughs, stay ahead in one of the most competitive industries in the world, and adhere to a slew of regulations, the function of telecom data analytics is to provide businesses with the easiest way to extract insights from all of their data. Using a solution for telecom data analytics that can help a company obtain deeper insights would produce more revenues.</p><p></p><p>Every department generates tons of data at a telecommunications and media service provider. Other departments can gain insights into the data from each other without a centralized data analysis. In addition, the data would sometimes vary from those of other departments without a centralized solution, contributing to uncertainty and even frustration.</p><p></p><p><strong>Free Valuable Insights:</strong> <a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/news/telecom-analytics-market/">Global Telecom Analytics Market to reach a market size of USD 8.7 billion by 2025</a></p><p></p><p>All the data departments merge into one unified structure with a centralized data analytics solution.

Businesses are heading towards high performance within a linear scaling architecture that is the primary target of hyper-converged technology with ever-increasing digital data and diversified sources. As the hyper-converged architecture has evolved from conventional workloads on servers such as web servers, standard applications, research & development to mission-critical workloads like SAP, SQL, and Oracle, the industry has achieved high adoption rates that have a positive impact on market growth.</p><p></p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8028316270,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8028316270,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="8028316270?profile=original" /></a></p><p></p><h2><strong>What is hyper-converged infrastructure?</strong></h2><p>Hyper-converged infrastructure provides simplified and versatile solutions as an effective replacement for the legacy ones. The technology integrates storage systems, servers, and networking switches that are managed under a single system. It also has in-built management functions that ensure ease of usability. Besides, software-defined storage has great potential for bringing in better scalability and resource efficiency.</p><p>Many companies around the world are moving their entire IT infrastructure into the cloud as it offers a high degree of flexibility. Several financial institutions have faced regulatory barriers or compliance issues about the cloud storage of their data. This has prompted companies to look at the hybrid cloud model while some find it suitable for the on-premises model. Hyper-converged infrastructure technologies are rapidly emerging as the perfect alternative to public cloud services such as Azure and AWS, as these systems are easy to administer and help reduce costs associated with conventional data center systems.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Hyper-converged infrastructure applications:</strong></h2><h3><strong>Data Center Consolidation</strong></h3><p>A key part of the modern IT infrastructure is data centers. Either business create their facilities, collaborate with a third-party data center, or use a public cloud provider to meet their data needs, virtually every company relies on data centers to lay the groundwork for today's increasingly interconnected global economy.</p><p>Datacenter consolidation refers to innovations and approaches allowing for more effective IT architectures. This can mean consolidation of multiple data centers physically, or simply making a single large data center operate more effectively with fewer resources. The consolidation of data centers is one of the most important ways of raising the cost of IT operations. Larger data centers, on a per-unit basis, are more cost-efficient. The trend towards consolidating data centers has evolved in the last three years.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)</strong></h3><p>Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) is described as hosting a central server to desktop environments. This is a type of desktop virtualization since the actual desktop images run on virtual machines (VMs) and are distributed over a network to end clients. PCs or other tools, such as tablets or thin client terminals, may be such endpoints. Businesses who implement WVD will have their applications running on cloud desktops.</p><p>Businesses are progressively moving towards this completely cloud-hosted experience, which would eventually compel industries to switch to online operating models. Cloud migration has been a phenomenon for years. M ore hybrid cloud models are being witnessed during this transition (some systems are hosted locally, others on the web, or in WVD). To compensate for these hybrid systems, other VDI providers and third-party applications may have to change their functionality.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Virtualizing Critical Applications</strong></h3><p>Moving devices to the cloud are one aspect of a technology journey that is taking millions of companies around the world today. The process involves transferring the files to the cloud, then devices, then desktops. All of the experience will be delivered in the cloud and supported.</p><p>Virtualization technologies are the central enabler for many applications in computer engineering, ranging from cloud computing to real-time embedded systems. Unlike cloud computing, there is a need for unique frameworks in CRTES production that guarantee and implement program execution to meet timing and safety requirements. Several techniques have been built over the years to abstract physical resources in virtual form, from classical full-virtualization and para-virtualization to more recent virtualization at the OS level.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Hyper-converged infrastructure for various industries</strong></h2><h3><strong>Banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI) sector</strong></h3><p>Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) has seen a significant increase in demand in the financial services sector. This is hardly surprising as it can require seamless device communication, bulletproof data security, and dramatically increase agility, as well as reduce overall associated costs.</p><p>Specifically building societies today turn to HCI as a key enabler of their digital transformation strategies. They are grabbing the potential benefits that it can offer with both hands, not least because the rising use of the Internet of Things (IoT) is driving the growing need for edge computing systems by organizations.</p><p>Cloud advantages are well-publicized and have already been leveraged to some degree by most financial companies, whether from an on-premise, centralized or public cloud platform, or more generally a variation of each (i.e. hybrid cloud). HCI will almost always be introduced alongside other network technologies as a completely functioning virtualization tool, as well as combined with cloud computing. For example, a hyperconverged network approach can be expanded into the cloud for a seamless management interface through nested virtualization in cloud platforms.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Manufacturing industry</strong></h3><p>More and more importance is applied to finding the best way to turn IT infrastructure in the manufacturing sector, mainly to meet the need for efficient operations and rising demands of customers. To meet these demands, the manufacturing industry is pursuing hyper-convergence for the potential benefits it can offer and allow its growing use of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and its need for more powerful edge computing systems.</p><p>The definition of hyper-convergence has changed over time but it was a converged network approach in its earliest days that included the virtualization hypervisor. This is a vital distinction because it has clear consequences on how to design architecture on greater simplicity and efficiency in storage. Hyperconverged infrastructure is economizing energy. The storage can be architectured and integrated directly with the hypervisor by using a native hypervisor, removing redundant storage protocols, filesystems, and VSAs.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Education</strong></h3><p>Educational organizations now more than ever need powerful data centers as their infrastructures realize the growing weight of emerging technology integrations, data analytics initiatives and the rising number of customized apps. The solution may be the hyperconverged infrastructure. Hyperconvergence has seen a marked rise across industries as IT administrators are searching for ways to juggle network speed and security at a low cost of infrastructure.</p><p>Hyperconvergence has already reached higher education and is starting to come down the pipeline to K–12 schools as city leaders realize that data center automation will offer financial and physical benefits. Major technology companies are beginning to see the benefits, too. Windows servers are now designed for data centers that are hyperconverged. Such activity around hyper-convergence now makes a timely transition for schools to make.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Hyper-converged infrastructure trends across the globe</strong></h2><h3><strong>The hybrid, multi-cloud has found a foundation that will continue to solidify</strong></h3><p>For many, hyper-converged infrastructure is already the foundation on which to reach the multi-cloud environment. HCI is well suited to most data center workloads, with flexible economics and increased operating efficiency. There has been a trend in recent years towards differentiating HCI solutions with a more platform-centric approach. For instance, Nutanix is now positioning its HCI solution as the hub of a larger framework that extends out into the public cloud, introducing some of the public cloud goodness to on-premise environments. This involves offering ways for consumers to handle these conditions more efficiently and reduce costs.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Backup and disaster recovery use cases for HCI will continue to expand</strong></h3><p>That's one more safe bet. Storage demands never cease to increase. Backups and recovery from disasters are rising together with them. Even though this is an obvious point, it is worth remembering still. Increasingly, HCI solutions provide some form of backup and recovery, to varying degrees. Several solutions provide unique services and others have strong relationships with more conventional providers of backups. The built-in backup and recovery capabilities are more than enough for many and will continue to be so. This effectively lowers the solution's total cost of ownership. But it's not for everyone; if HCI is only one aspect of a wider technology setting, then the company may prefer to incorporate HCI in its overall plan for data security.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Edge and micro data centers will soon quadruple</strong></h3><p>This is an understatement but the complexity revolves about how the word data center is described. Edge proliferation shows no signs of slowing down and HCI is the perfect option for a certain form.</p><p>There are a variety of explanations for this, including compactness and user-friendliness. Many HCI vendors are already pivoting toward branding themselves as edge computing system suppliers. We also see some betting the company on the edge, like Scale Computing, and building vast HCI-centric ecosystems that are quickly stamped out of the factory and deployed.</p><p></p><h2><strong>To sum up</strong></h2><p>The hyper-converged infrastructure market is becoming the backbone of the multi-cloud world. The highly automated design of the HCI offerings helps to reduce the risk of downtime associated with typical life cycle management activities such as hardware updates and system refreshments. The scale-out, software-defined design of hyper-converged offers helps remove the need for complicated and comprehensive forklift upgrades which are still very common in data centers. The growing use of artificial intelligence and hyper-convergence makes the data center smarter and more streamlined in the tracking and control of assets and risks.</p><p></p><p><strong>Free Valuable Insights:</strong> <a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/news/hyper-converged-infrastructure-market/">Global Hyper-Converged Infrastructure Market to reach a market size of USD 27 billion by 2025</a></p><p></p><p>Hyper-converged infrastructure deployments at the edge will ramp up in the coming years.

The technology is a comprehensive process that creates policies and rules to maintain the integrity of production. It also ensures that every employee, equipment, or system works in a streamlined manner. As the technology innovates at a breakneck speed and businesses thrive to work at a parallel pace, manufacturing operations managers play an increasingly important role in carving out a cutting edge.</p><p></p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8028310495,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8028310495,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="8028310495?profile=original" /></a></p><p></p><h2><strong>What is the manufacturing operations management software technology?</strong></h2><p>Manufacturing operations management (MOM) software works on various systems that are used for controlling end-to-end manufacturing processes. The primary objective of the software is to maximize the efficiency of manufacturing operations. Thus the demand forecast for MOM applications is driven by major factors such as increased robotic process automation (RPA) implementation.</p><p>Manufacturing execution systems are designed for scheduling and dispatching, quality control, and data collection, and when modified to take advantage of the new technology such as IoT. They can now, for example, capture data and act on it in real-time, which provides enormous benefits. If a transaction makes it into the network within a couple of hours or by the end of the transfer, it is good enough for the general ledger, but not quite good enough for data and controls from the plant floor.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Industries that are progressively deploying MOM software technology:</strong></h2><h3><strong>Automotive</strong></h3><p>The automotive industry is now fully automated. Nevertheless, OEMs and manufacturers are under immense transformational pressure. Autonomous driving, e-cars, networking, and increasing consumer behavior are pushing automakers to transform into providers of mobility products. The portfolio is topped out by automotive-specific approaches from engineering to digital exchange and connected mobility services. It includes applications for in-vehicle digital infrastructure, over-the-air updates, and the creation and implementation of flexible, scalable systems–e.g. autonomous driving.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Healthcare</strong></h3><p>Healthcare is a diverse sector that involves institutions and professionals offering programs for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of injury, illness, illness and other physical and mental disabilities. There is a wide range of specialties focusing on different treatments.</p><p> Healthcare consists of primary, secondary, and tertiary care. The social and economic circumstances influence access to health care in significant measure, as do the policies and resources management. Required factors for a healthcare system to operate effectively include adequate support, a well-trained and well-paid staff, reliable information from which policies can be based, and well-maintained and efficiently operated health facilities.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Food and Beverages</strong></h3><p>Keeping up-to-date with the newest technologies is not high on the priority list for many food and beverage manufacturers, particularly for mid-size companies that don't have a lot of money to spend. The idea of incorporating technology into their business not only seems costly but also overwhelming. Nonetheless, taking the massive, scary step often makes it simpler in the long run.</p><p>A fit-for-purpose manufacturing execution system (MES) may be used by food and beverage manufacturers to change the corporate culture towards one of continuous improvement and action. The incorporation of an MES solution into the activities of your business should be managed with care. Cost, enforcement and the overall learning curve that comes with any technology deployment of this nature are normal, and the hope is that all workers will ultimately be able to assimilate without becoming overwhelmed and feel confident.</p><p></p><h2><strong>Manufacturing Operations Management Software Trends</strong></h2><h3><strong>Manufacturing ecosystems are achieving higher levels of connectivity and transparency</strong></h3><p>The smart factory is a bridge for partner and customer interaction in a linked digital ecosystem with API requirements. When the ecosystem provides new data services with the product, the necessary data exchanges go beyond purchase order, shipping, and warranty data. For example, if a company offers a digital twin product as an additional service, it must be ready to render 3D and simulation models of the product, along with the specific as-built and operational data of each device, available to the ecosystem and customer.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Advanced planning and scheduling software</strong></h3><p>Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) software has become a must for today's manufacturing operations due to consumer demand for improved product diversity and quick delivery combined with downward cost pressures. APS can be combined easily with an ERP / MRP program to fill holes where consistency and precision are lacking in the planning and scheduling of these systems. Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) helps planners save time by making the updating of ever-changing goals, development schedules and inventory planning more agile.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Data-backed performance measurement and employee analytics</strong></h3><p>Solid performance data gives companies the insight they need to make improvements from growth and production to customer service areas. However, 79 percent of managers agree that they lack the right resources to evaluate and act on this data. Business leaders will make more informed decisions about business practices going forward with metrics solutions that offer detailed measurements.</p><p>Taking the temperature of internal communications and operations management is just as critical as monitoring the output of external websites and on-site revenues because they can also home in on the effectiveness of your staff and the quality of your contact with the workforce. Mobile communication apps allow companies to see which workers are actively engaged in collaboration and which may need support or assistance by monitoring real-time usage and participation.</p><p></p><h2><strong>The future of manufacturing operations management software industry</strong></h2><p>Through shifts in customer demands, management processes of both production and service organizations have grown enormously over the years. The manufacturing operations management software market has become global, making enterprise operations compelling to keep up. The use of information technology/information systems (IT/IS) and outsourcing in operations management has greatly changed the operations management (OM) landscape approaches, procedures, and technologies. Health and health consciousness also encourage businesses to look at their approach to OM and production from various viewpoints.</p><p></p><p><strong>Free Valuable Insights:</strong> <a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/news/manufacturing-operations-management-software-market/">Global Manufacturing Operations Management Software Market to reach a market size of USD 14.6 billion by 2025</a></p><p></p><p>Today, manufacturing companies are using a variety of digital services to manage their operations. Software solutions have assisted these companies with more than 70% of the analysis and monitoring of their routine processes. The introduction of sophisticated software-based solutions like MOM has accelerated to combat technical errors. In addition, MOM plays a key role in integrating information systems on the shop floor and business systems in corporate offices.</p><p>This contributes to the resultant elimination of conventional paper-based systems. As a result, these benefits provided by MOM software are projected to draw significant demand during the forecast period.</p></div>Radio Frequency Components: Upcoming Trends, Applications, and Prospectshttps://globalriskcommunity.com/profiles/blogs/radio-frequency-components-upcoming-trends-applications-and2020-03-26T12:24:47.000Z2020-03-26T12:24:47.000ZKBV Researchhttps://globalriskcommunity.com/members/KBVResearch<div><p>The broad spectrum of high-quality <a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/radio-frequency-components-market/">radio frequency components</a> is founded on the varying requirements of in-building or distributed antenna networks and applications for railway, test, and measurement. The parts are compatible with each other and have very high-quality stable characteristics. This high-quality standard is the culmination of many years of radio frequency device development and production experience.</p><p></p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8028315669,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8028315669,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="8028315669?profile=original" /></a></p><p></p><p>Radio frequency (RF) refers to the oscillation rate of electromagnetic radio waves between 3 kHz and 300 GHz, and the alternating currents that carry the radio signals. This is the frequency band used to receive and broadcast communications. Although RF is the wave oscillation frequency, it is synonymous with the term "radio," or simply wireless communication.</p><h2>What is radio frequency?</h2><p>Radio frequency is used in many areas, yet it refers to the frequency band in which wireless telecommunications signals are received and transmitted in the sense of information and communications technology. The frequency band is divided into various parts, which are then allocated to different industries of technology. This is known as the radio spectrum.</p><p>For instance, for FM radio, TV broadcasts, and amateur radio and its counterparts, the VHF (very high frequency) band, which ranges from 30-300 MHz, is being used extensively. The ultra-high frequency (UHF) band is used for many electronic communication devices. This is the space used by mobile phones, wireless LAN, Bluetooth, TV, and land radio.</p><p>Radio frequency is generated by oscillating current a given number of times and then radiating it off a conductor, which is referred to as an antenna, into space as electromagnetic radio waves (this refers to space occupied by air rather than solid objects and does not refer to outside space). RF signals are emitted and received by conductors through the phenomenon called the skin effect. Wherein, RF current latches itself and flows through the conductors' surface instead of penetrating and flowing through them as with other non-conducting solids. This influence is radio technology's heart and base.</p><h2>Different kinds of radio frequency components</h2><h3>Antenna Switches</h3><p>Antenna Switch Modules (ASM) support smartphone and other network-connected wireless devices with telecom-related features. Such modules support multi-band connected wireless devices. These components combine the individual transmission and receiving routes of one or multiple Long-Term Evolution (LTE) antennas, Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE), Universal Mobile Telecommunications Service (UMTS), Code-Division Multiple Access (CDMA), and Global Mobile Communications System (GSM). Using the Low-Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (LTCC) technology, these small-package antenna switch components have embedded high-powered capable switches and passive function circuits like GSM-LPF.</p><h3>Power Amplifier</h3><p>Radio frequency power amplifier is an electronic amplifier that can be transformed into a low-power radio frequency signal into a higher-power signal. RF power amplifiers usually drive a transmitter's antenna. Gain, power output, bandwidth, power efficiency, linearity (low signal distortion at rated output), matching impedance input and output, and heat dissipation are often the crucial parts of design goals.</p><p>The RF power amplifier's basic applications include driving a transmitting antenna, driving to another high-power source, and exciting resonators for the microwave cavity. Driving transmitter antennas is more well-known among these applications. The transmitter-receivers can be used not only for voice and data communication but also (in the form of radar) for weather sensing.</p><h3>Filters</h3><p>The RF filters were designed to be able to work easily on frequency ranges varying from medium to extremely high, i.e. megahertz and gigahertz. It is most widely used in devices like wireless communications, broadcast radio, and television, due to its operating features. In general, most RF filters consist of coupled resonators, the value variable of which can determine the filtering rate within the RFs.</p><p>RF filters are used to arrange the frequencies of the signal. Simply put, the RF filters may filter out the noise or minimize the external signal interference that may affect the quality or efficiency of any communication system. The lack of proper RF filters in place could result in a toll on signal frequency transfers that could ultimately affect the communication process.</p><h2>The future of radio frequency industry</h2><p>The radio frequency components market is becoming omnipresent more rapidly than ever before. This has been observed majorly due to technological evolution in the field of wireless communication and advancements in materials used for manufacturing RF components.</p><p>The demand for radio frequency components and radio frequency technology upgrades continue to help drive the world throughout many public and private sector applications. But technology is advancing so rapidly, it is sometimes difficult to predict how the world will look in just a few years.</p><p>In 2027, we should expect that 5G networks will be up and running for some time, and consumer expectations of mobile speed and performance will be significantly higher than they are today. With more and more people adopting smartphones around the world, data demand will continue to rise, and traditional bandwidth ranges below 6GHZ are simply not going to be enough to meet this challenge.</p><p></p><p><strong>Free Structural Data:</strong> <a href="https://www.kbvresearch.com/news/radio-frequency-components-market/">https://www.kbvresearch.com/news/radio-frequency-components-market/</a></p><p></p><p>The need for advanced RF solutions for satellite communications (SATCOM) will also increase in both the military and commercial sectors. One particularly ambitious project that requires advanced RF engineering is SpaceX's global Wi-Fi project, which will require more than 4,000 orbiting satellites to beam wireless internet to people around the world, using 10-30 ghz frequencies in the Ku and Ka-band range-and that's just one example. From smartphones to satellite service, GPS and more, RF technology is a modern-day innovation that's so omnipresent that many of us just take it for granted.</p></div>Automated Guided Vehicle: What’s trending in and around the industry?https://globalriskcommunity.com/profiles/blogs/automated-guided-vehicle-what-s-trending-in-and-around-the2020-03-25T11:10:30.000Z2020-03-25T11:10:30.000ZKBV Researchhttps://globalriskcommunity.com/members/KBVResearch<div><p>Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) have come forth as a widely-demanded technology due to its unavoidable benefits.
