Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) – Market outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape and Market Forecast Report – 2020 To 2030


 Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) is a rare infection of the cornea that, difficult to diagnose and treat properly, can be a sight-threatening disease. Acanthamoeba is currently divided into twenty-two different genotypes (T1–T22) based on 18s rRNA gene typing. Based on genotypes variations clinical presentation and response to therapy vary. The pathogen is transmitted through corneal contact with a contaminated substance. Most cases seen in humans seem to be associated with contaminated water, soil, or trauma to the eye. The progression of Acanthamoeba keratitis occurs in two main phases. An initial phase where infiltration is limited to the corneal epithelium, and a second phase where the parasite invades the underlying stroma. Once in the stroma, extensive damage to the collagen matrix occurs which provokes intense inflammation.

The estimated incidence of cases of Acanthamoeba keratitis with soft contact lens wearers ranges between 4.5 to 7.8 cases per 100,000 population.

Acne Vulgaris – Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2022 To 2032

Image
  Acne vulgaris, a prevalent pilosebaceous unit inflammatory skin disorder, follows a persistent course. Typically presenting as papules, pustules, or nodules, it primarily occurs on the face but can also impact the upper arms, trunk, and back. The development of acne results from the sebaceous glands' heightened sensitivity to normal androgen levels, aggravated by Cutibacterium acnes (formerly known as Propionibacterium acnes), a bacterial species that triggers inflammation. The pathogenesis of acne vulgaris involves a complex interplay of factors such as the activation of sebaceous glands by androgens, imbalances in the pilosebaceous follicle microbiome, and cellular immune responses. Genetic predisposition and dietary influences also contribute to the condition's onset and progression. The initial stage is the micro-comedo, a small plug primarily composed of corneocytes in the lower follicular infundibulum. Microcomedones evolve into various acne lesions, including closed co...

Metabolic Syndrome – Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2023 To 2033

Image
  Metabolic syndrome refers to a clustering of multiple disorders that collectively increase an individual's susceptibility to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance, diabetes mellitus, as well as vascular and neurological complications such as cerebrovascular accidents. The underlying causes of metabolic syndrome typically include excess weight, obesity, a sedentary lifestyle, and genetic predisposition. This syndrome exerts detrimental effects on various body systems. Insulin resistance, a key component of metabolic syndrome, leads to microvascular damage, increasing the risk of endothelial dysfunction, vascular resistance, hypertension, and inflammation of vessel walls. Bariatric surgery is recognized as the most effective standalone therapy for metabolic syndrome. However, patients undergoing this procedure require long-term follow-up to mitigate potential surgical, nutritional, and psychiatric complications. Thelansis’s “Metabolic Syndrome Market Outl...

Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1D) – Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2023 To 2033

Image
  Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1D) is characterized as an autoimmune disorder resulting in the autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells. This condition necessitates life-long insulin replacement, administered through multiple daily insulin injections, insulin pump therapy, or an automated insulin delivery system. The absence of insulin can lead to the development of Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA), a life-threatening condition. The most common symptoms associated with this disease are polyuria and polydipsia. Effective management of T1D involves: Multiple daily insulin injections Insulin pump therapy An automated insulin delivery system in conjunction with glucose monitoring Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) is the preferred method. However, all individuals with T1D should be capable of performing Blood Glucose Monitoring (BGM) via capillary blood if CGM is not available. Acute complications of diabetes primarily include hypo...
