  Period panties are a type of menstrual underwear (a new sanitary product) that can absorb ten times more than pads, tampons, and other regular products, giving protection to the women during menstrual flow. Period panties can also prevent odor and offer better leak-proofing in case of heavy flow. Furthermore, companies such as Relieved Gal (a trademark of Youngrowth Group Inc., located in the United States) offer period panties with kangaroo pockets where heating pads can be placed to get relief from cramps. Period panties in the market are mostly available through online distribution channels. Period panties can be used based on the flow or as a backup to menstrual cups. Period panties are designed with a special fabric to pull liquid away and traps it inside the underwear. It helps prevent liquid from leaking out onto clothing. The main benefit to these garments is that they help reduce menstrual blood flow, giving lighter, more comfortable periods. This is because the flow of

Home-grown tea drinkers have been patronizing the beverage for centuries. Today, the global marketplace for ginseng, Camellia Sinensis, catechins, and other herbal extracts continue to expand as consumers become more health-conscious. However, the aging population and the "baby boomer" generation are now also demanding more products with more health benefits associated with daily consumption. The aging process affects the liver, heart, kidneys, digestive system, and more, so more consumers are looking for healthier alternatives than traditional products. As aging individuals look to re-hydrate and reverse the aging process, the out of home tea market will continue to grow. As more people spend money on fast food and snacks, the desire to create a cup of home-made tea has become more pronounced. The increasing popularity of gourmet teas and convenience teas is likely to drive increased sales of gourmet and convenience teas in the coming years. OTC Tea companies are responding

  An offshore pipeline system is a buried pipeline that is dug beneath the ocean or in saltwater areas in close proximity to shore. The pipeline is constructed within an underground trench or under the ocean bed to protect the pipeline from the corrosive effects of the salty sea water. In some instances, the pipeline is completely on-land but at other locations it traverses water bodies, including large oceans, small rivers and even small straits. The majority of offshore pipelines are located in the U.S. although there are also many that originate in various foreign countries. For example, the largest onshore pipeline system in the world is the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System, which is located between Canadian and Alaska. An Offshore pipeline system can be a very useful method of transportation of both crude and natural gas. Offshore oil drilling and petroleum production on land have created many problems for the offshore oil industry. This method of production has caused many environm

The nasal cannula is a plastic tube with a thin metal cannula attached at its other end to form a puncture-like opening in the nasal wall. It is a small flexible tube that is often shaped like a long needle that is used to provide supplementary oxygen or greater lung flow to an individual or persons in need of respiratory assistance. This device is made up of a thin titanium tube that on one end fits into the nostril on either side or the other contains two small prongs that are inserted into the nostril and from there a mixture of oxygen and air flows into the patient's lungs. The prime function of nasal cannula is to deliver supplementary oxygen and in some cases may be used to stimulate breathing through the nose in severe cases, which may result in quick respiration. The use of this device has helped millions around the world who find it difficult to breathe on their own. In addition to using it for supplemental oxygen therapy, doctors may also use this device for patients

  CRISPR and CAS Gene editing is an innovative genetic engineering method practiced in different regions of the world including the U.S., U.K., and Italy, in molecular biology whereby the genetic codes of living things can be changed. It is largely based on a simplified form of the bacterial CRISPR and CAS Gene antiviral defense system. The method involves restriction enzymes that cause the change in the DNA sequence, and it is called genetic alterations because the modifications make the target organism less resistant to diseases. Since the insertion of genetic changes involves deletion of non-functional sequences or insertions of sequences with functional genes, it is termed transcriptomic or somatic gene editing. There are several applications of CRISPR and CAS Gene and most importantly these methods are being used for the research of the disease. Gene therapy using CRISPR and CAS Gene has been extensively used in the field of genetics. These methods can be broadly categorized in

Copper clad wire (CCS) is an abbreviation for copper clad steel wire, which incorporates both the physical property of steel (i.e., high tensile strength) and the electrical property of copper (i.e., its high electrical conductivity). In short, copper clad steel wires are steel wires covered with copper. The core material used to make copper clad steel wire is generally low carbon steels and is typically employed as either the internal or grounding conductor of coaxial and multilayer cables. Copper clad steel wire can be electroplated or manufactured with silver, nickel, gold, solder, and tin. The applications of CCS includes specialty resistors and capacitors, motors and magnetic assemblies, and intelligent pressure and temperature measuring instrumentations. The electrical resistance to electrical current passing through the cable when exposed to the electric field depends on the thickness of the outer layer of copper used in the wire. This layer is called 'coating' and its

  The most common cause of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is long-term exposure to various irritants which ultimately damage the lungs and airways. There are four types of the disease. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, or COPD; the result of emphysema or chronic bronchitis; Chronic Obstructive Respiratory Disease, or COPD; the result of emphysema or chronic bronchitis; and Recurrent Respiratory Disease, or RSD, is the result of someone having another condition which causes COPD. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease or simply COPD is a set of lung disorders (including chronic bronchitis and emphysema) that restrict airflow in the lung. This makes it more difficult to breathe. Many of the symptoms of COPD resemble asthma symptoms to some degree. The treatment for COPD is usually a program of antibiotics, special exercise, and medication. There are various Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Treatment available one is specialized medical treatment. In particular, hospit

  Bubble tea (sometimes called pearl tea, bubble tea, pearl milk tea, or simply pearl tea) is a popular Taiwanese tea-made drink made from leaves of the wild bee hank root. The leaves of the hank root are boiled and then ground into a fine paste for three to five minutes, enough for the mixture to become thick and syrupy in nature. After this, it's typically served hot and is often served with fruits and vegetables. Bubble tea has a light, fresh taste that some people describe as tasting like spring water. Due to its relatively limited availability, bubble tea can be difficult to find in many stores around the world. One way to get around this problem is to look to buy online. There are a number of companies that offer tea online, and most include a variety of bubble tea applications. The companies have different price points for their bubble products, but often the prices do not vary too much. It is important to remember that the companies do not have to maintain a huge invento

  Nucleic acid testing is a method of detecting the genetic material of a virus-typically RNA, a nucleic acid molecule. In this method, DNA samples from biological fluids are mixed with antirussian and streptavirus antigens and amplified by the use of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. After being mixed with samples of known pathogen, antibodies are produced that bind to the antigens. The amount of antigens binding to the antibody is detected and the titre can be assessed using a Computerized Identification System (CIS). Some of the DNA test kits include probe sets that enable the user to test for specific types of microbial, chemical or other infectious agents. A positive result indicates that a person is infected with a viral infection. This type of test detects the genetic material in a non-plaque blood sample, allowing researchers to determine the viral burden on various body organs. A specific DNA probe is used to identify the genetic material on a basis of the sequence of ba

  With the advancement of technology and new discoveries in biotechnology, the world is gradually seeing the birth of new medical technologies. Bioresorbable polymer material is one such breakthrough, which promises to revolutionize the way we use and take care of our bodies. These polymers, also known as biodegradable polymers, are polymer materials, which can be safely absorbed by the body. Natural biodegradable polymers include chitosan, collagen, chitin, alginate, and gelatin. Collagen is a naturally occurring substance in the body that serves as a structural tissue. As we age, our body produces less collagen leading to the deterioration of our joints. Biodegradable chitosan derivatives have the ability to substitute collagen in body tissues thus replacing joints damaged by age or disease. Bioresorbable polymers can replace damaged tissues so as to make it functional again. Biodegradable chitosan derivatives are majorly used in alternative medical treatments for the treatment of

  Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a very rare (0.1 in 10,000) cancer condition that results from the invasion of immature lymphocytes or leukocytes into the bone marrow during childhood. According to Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s 2018-2019 facts, the incidence of acute lymphoblastic leukemia was 7.8 (per 100,000) in children aged 1-4 years during 2011-2015. Italy, the U.S. Switzerland, and Costa Rica are the countries with the highest incidence of ALL. ALL most commonly occurs in young children and adolescents who have one unaffected parent who has an inherited thalassemia or anemia. Studies indicate that many of these children will develop an illness characterized by fever, generalized fatigue, or swollen lymph nodes and may even suffer from lymphedema. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia therapeutics generally begin with a combination treatment approach. This treatment usually involves combinations of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery, and targeted drug therapy. A combinat

  A cafe is a place where one can get good food, have a cup of tea or coffee, and relax. There are many types of cafes across the globe. Some of these types of cafes specialize in particular types of food, whereas others will cater to a wide range of people. Many cafes have a specific type of atmosphere. This atmosphere can be described in a Cafe Job Form. The requirements of a suitable cafe are usually dependent on the owner of the premises. A general manager is responsible for the day to day running of the cafe. He usually has general responsibility for the quality of coffee shop products and the performance of staff members. A coffee shop manager is in charge of the daily operations of each coffee shop. Depending on the size of a cafe, there can be different managers. The primary responsibility of a manager will be to oversee the daily sales and menu planning of each cafe, as well as any special projects that are underway. A manager also has some final responsibility for all staff

  A bicycle helmet is a type of headgear that fits over the top of a bicycle helmet. It provides protection from trauma and injury in case of an accident; it also acts as a cushion, reducing the deceleration force during an impact. While there are many reasons to wear a helmet, the most important is to reduce the risk of death or serious injury in case of an accident. It is estimated that around 900 people, involving over 200 children, are dying each year in bicycle-related accidents, and almost 60% of those deaths involve a serious head injury. A hard outer shell helps prevent external deceleration and provides a solid and comfortable foundation for the inner lining, which is made of soft polystyrene foam. Many feel that these inner liners provide the best protection, especially of an impact. Studies show that regular use of a cycle helmet reduces the risk of serious head injuries and brain damage by up to 90%. There are many different types of bicycle helmets available for cycling
