Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of global morbidity and mortality, with reported cases having doubled since 1990. Today, CVDs account for 1 in 3 deaths worldwide, representing 32% of total global mortality, with heart attacks and ischemic strokes responsible for approximately 85% of these outcomes. The rising burden is stron...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an advanced non-invasive imaging technology that creates clear images of organs and structures inside the body. However, the claustrophobic narrow bore size design that causes patient anxiety during the scan and the stationary nature of the large machine hinder the optimal use of this technology, and low-quality ...

Measurement while drilling technology is a critical part of the oilfield drilling operations as it enables the driller to achieve precise well placement by efficient steering the drill bit in planned well path to reach the target in shortest possible time. Real-time formation evaluation measurements transmitted to the surface while drilling helps o...

The United Nations Environment Programme currently estimates that the building and construction industry accounts for 36% of the global energy consumption, and subsequently account for approximately 40% of the global carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. The increasing industrialization and urbanization activities will further increase the ...

Microbiome research is on the rise following technological advancements and significant cost reductions in microbiome analysis. Research has unlocked the potential of microbiome in medical use cases, yielding tremendous insights on its nature, interactions, and impact within a host and in an external environment. Advanced studies on the role of mic...

The primary focus of the global powertrain industry is to drive down emissions and improve fuel economy, irrespective of powertrain type. While improvements to IC engines are ongoing, vehicle electrification is the end target and on the rise. Each region has different powertrain priorities for lowering emissions and electrification, such as mild-hy...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications have captured the attention of enterprise and consumer segments. AI technology implementation has increased, and it is being adopted across industries and business functions worldwide driving operational efficiencies and creating strategic differentiation. In addition, with the recent disruption in the gene...

The concept of companion diagnostics (CDx) was developed when researchers realized that even potent drugs only had an efficacy between 25% and 60%, the lowest being in oncology. Therefore, a clinical pharmacogenetic assay became important to distinguish patients more likely to respond to a drug or at a lesser risk of associated adverse pathophysiol...

Additives form an integral part of the polymer recycling industry. They are extensively used to modify the properties of plastic products during the compounding and processing stages. This study includes discussion about the challenges associated with recycling and the demand for recycled polymers. Four additives—stabilizers, compatibilizers, impac...
