  Dimer Acid, also known as dicyclic amino acids, is diatomaceous earth compounds prepared by blending hexane and sulfur in the presence of a catalyst. The density of this compound is approximately four times that of water. Dimer acid is used in the synthesis of polyaramid polymers, low-density fiberboards, low-density insulation, and foam. Dimer acid has a wide range of commercial applications. It is widely used in the paper and thermal coatings industries to manufacture textiles and papers and increase the strength and stiffness of these products and in the manufacturing of lubricants and adhesives. It is also used to manufacture plastic materials, plastics bottles, and other similar products. Dimer acid is used to improve the resistance of many products to petroleum-based coatings such as oilskin and paint. In the context of cosmetic applications, it is widely used to improve the feel, color, and sheen of cosmetics and hair products, especially natural and organic skincare pr...

  What are eHealth Software and Services? EHealth is short for electronic health records. This is a revolution in the healthcare industry. This is because, with eHealth, medical practitioners are able to electronically file patient information such as demographics, diagnosis, treatments, and medication schedules electronically, making filing of patient records easier and less time-consuming. Electronic health records (EHRs) have been around for some time but now they are becoming more common in healthcare facilities. Some of the advantages of eHealth software and services includes: patient records are easier to access, more organized, and secure. The ability to electronically file these records means that health information no longer has to be stored on paper. This is also beneficial because there is less need for extra staff to sort through paper files and recover records. Another advantage is that it can make the exchange of health care information easier between different dep...

  Somatropin is a protein synthetic hormone that is commonly used in injecting it to the body to induce puberty. It is produced by the pituitary gland and the secretion of this hormone causes the enlargement of tissues and muscles. This hormone is found in higher levels during childhood and gradually decreases with the person's age. This allows the person to develop leaner and muscular muscles. It helps in improving bone strength and density and also helps in reducing fat. Production of somatropin is stimulated by the secretion of the hormone receptor cells, which are present both in the anterior pituitary gland and the anterior suprachiasmatic nucleus. Somatropin or growth hormone, also called human growth hormone in its pure human form, is basically a peptide hormone, which stimulates cell growth, cell repair, and cell metabolism in humans and many other animals as well. It is therefore extremely important in human growth and development. Somatropin has its own receptor call...

  Meningitis is an inflammation of the fluid and membranes (meninges) surrounding your brain and spinal cord. Some of the types of meningitis include, bacterial meningitis, viral meningitis, fungal meningitis, parasitic meningitis, amebic meningitis, and non-infectious meningitis. Acute bacterial meningitis is more prevalent in resource-poor than resource-rich areas. A wide variety of meningitis treatments are available for those that have this illness. Typically, most of these treatments involve the use of an antibiotic to treat the bacteria that cause the illness. Some of the medications used include amoxicillin, penicillin, amoxicillin-clavulanate, cephalexin, and gentamycin. High prevalence of meningitis is expected to boost demand for meningitis treatment worldwide. According to the study, ‘Global, regional, and national burden of meningitis, 1990–2016: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2016’ published in the Lancet in 2018, incidence of meningiti...

  Lysosomal Storage Disease is a medical condition where proteins, usually DNA, become deformed or lose their catalytic ability. The human genetic material, which is called DNA, is a highly dynamic and sophisticated part of our system. Due to a process called mutations, DNA becomes altered and either changes its directions or becomes a different size. In either case, the genetic information is then unreadable by cells known as enzymes. There are various types of lysosomal storage diseases including Gaucher disease, Fabry disease, Pompe disease, Niemann-Pick disease, Tay-Sachs disease, etc. Lysosomal storage diseases therapeutics aim at correcting these mutations so that the DNA can be read again by cells. Since the function of the human body is to produce new cells, any change in DNA is extremely dangerous. People with lysts have had to live with the lifelong threat of illness because even minor changes in their DNA structure could lead to serious illness. The human population a...

  Leishmaniasis is an infection caused by a group of parasites. It is not infectious, however, because the bacteria cause the disease, rather than the other way around. These parasites are called "spirochetes" and they live in the soft tissues of the skin, intestines, and intestinal tract. These are known as the Tinea species. Leishmaniasis can affect any area of the body. In Japan, over 300 visceral leishmaniases were reported. Some of the parts of the body are more commonly affected than others, although all areas are affected at one time or another. Some people will have a mild form of the disease, while others may have a more severe case. People may also experience symptoms of leishmaniasis in some other areas of their body besides the scalp. The main symptom of this disease is the development of dermatitis, which can result in scaly skin and irritation. It can also include bald spots on the head and patches of redness on the skin. Hair loss is also common for individua...

  An Indoor Positioning and Indoor Navigation (IPIN) system are a set of highly sophisticated devices that are used in regions such as the U.S., U.K., and Italy among others. These devices are used in conjunction with GPS/Global Positioning System satellites to locate objects or people where GPS and even other satellite technologies fail or lack enough precision, for example, underground locations, multistory shopping malls, airports, alleyways, and elevators. Such Indoor Positioning and Indoor Navigation (IPIN) systems are used primarily by law enforcement agencies, fire departments, emergency medical services, and the public to locate people and objects within the home or in the workplace. Indoor Positioning and Indoor Navigation (IPIN) systems can also be used in tracking vehicles, in locating people in dangerous situations, and in the military to locate or identify targets of the potential attack. In the home, Indoor Positioning and Indoor Navigation (IPIN) have become almos...
