Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD) – Market outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2021 To 2032


 Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is a genetic disorder that primarily affects the muscles of the face, shoulder blades, and upper arms. Researchers identified two types of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD): type 1 (FSHD1) and type 2 (FSHD2) (FSHD2). The two types have identical signs and symptoms but differ due to their genetic cause. Initially, FSHD may cause weakness in the muscles of the face, shoulder girdle, and arms. Facial weakness can cause limited lip movements, making it difficult to whistle, use a straw, or pucker the lips. Affected people may develop a distinct "mask-like" facial appearance. Upper facial weakness may also result in an inability to close the eyes entirely during sleep. FSHD1 is caused by abnormal expression of the DUX4 gene, which is located on chromosome 4 in the D4Z4 region. The DNA in the D4Z4 area is typically hypermethylated and contains 11-100 repeated segments of DNA. For each pregnancy, the risk of passing the abnormal gene from the affected parent to the offspring is 50%. Males and females are both at risk.

 

FSHD has an estimated prevalence of 5 to 11 cases per 100,000 population in the USA. Approximately 95% of all cases are FSHD1; the remaining 5% are FSHD2.

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...
