2014年伊始，医药上市公司延续了2013年的并购浪潮。多家上市药企因“筹划重大事项或重大资产重组”而密集停牌，拉开了马年并购重组“大戏”的帷幕，究其原因，产能过剩与标准提升是关键所在。特别值得关注的是，近期医药领域的并购热潮中有相当一部分比例集中于医疗服务和医疗器械两个板块。从短期来看，受益于行业整合和政策利好，医疗器械和医疗服务将迎来并购整合的高峰期。从中长期来看，鉴于医疗服务和医疗器械巨大的成长空间和市场开拓空间，这两大板块将进入黄金发展期。

高空作业机械的出现似乎成为了众多高空作业者的佑护神。高空作业车、高空作业平台以不同类型和功能呈现于中国市场，在过去近20年的发展中逐渐为人熟悉和接纳，并在近5年间获得更为广泛的关注和增长。有人说，在行业整体低迷的形势下，高空作业机械作为唯一保持快速增长的领域，代表着行业的生机和希望。然而也有人说，浪潮虽在，却是迷局，高空作业机械行业的上升拐点仍欠火候，需要各方力量的推动才能得以推广和普及。羁绊高空作业机械发展的障碍究竟在何处？其前景又将如何呈现？本文特别采访了北京京城重工机械有限责任公司、捷尔杰(天津)设备有限公司与特雷克斯吉尼公司等企业的市场负责人，对此进行探讨。

前2月，工程机械市场延续上年的温和回暖势头，低基数效应影响下，主要产品产销量均大幅增长，尤其作为行业风向标的挖掘机前2月产量和销量同比分别增长32.6%、26.1%。尽管如此，产能过剩、保有量庞大的局面依然存在，资金链依然偏紧，行业投资增速继续下滑；由于产品价格涨幅非常有限，而人力、资金、营销成本不断攀升，行业盈利能力难言提升。2014年，尽管基建投资增速趋于放缓，但铁路、公路、轨道交通、农田水利、环境治理、市政建设、保障房等领域仍有较大的投资空间，将对工程机械需求提供支撑。此外，小型工程机械销售持续“走俏”，节能环保新兴工程机械等逐步兴起，也将为工程机械市场带来结构性增长机会。因此，预计2014年工程机械行业仍将温和回升，销售收入将同比增长8.5%左右。

2013年1-11月，全国规模以上工业增加值继续保持增长态势，增加值同比增长9.7%.比2012年同期回落0.3个百分点，比2011年同期回落4.3个百分点。预计2013年全年累计同比增长率难以超过10%。分行业来看，黑色金属冶炼及压延加工业呈现下滑趋势，金属制品业、通用设备制造业、专用设备制造业保持稳定增长，汽车制造业增长幅度扩大。

Laparoscopy is a minimally-invasive surgical technique performed with the assistance of a video camera and several thin instruments. The devices used to perform laparoscopic surgery are called laparoscopic devices. The benefits of laparoscopic procedures are less postoperative discomfort, quicker recovery, shorter hospital stays, smaller external scars, and smaller internal scars. Laparoscopy is performed for surgeries related to the pancreas, liver, colon, bile duct, etc.

EDMs are used in the manufacturing process to obtain a desired shape by removing material from a work piece. During this process, a rapidly recurring current discharges between two electrodes separated by a dielectric liquid, resulting in the removal of material.

The Global Radiation Therapy Equipment market is growing steadily and is expected to witness an improvement in its growth rate and post a CAGR of 6.04 percent during the period 2013-2018. The majority of the growth comes from the Americas, followed by the EMEA and APAC regions. The majority of the market's growth is currently driven by the External Beam Radiation Therapy segment, and the Linear Accelerators segment is expected to make a significant contribution to the market over the next few years.

A cardiac pacemaker is a medical device used to supplement the normal electrical activity of the heart in people with cardiac disorders such as sick sinus syndrome, arrhythmias, atrial fibrillation, and atrioventricular blockages. The sinoatrial node, a group of cells in the heart tissue, is the natural pacemaker of the heart. In cases where abnormal electrical pulses are produced by the sinoatrial node, artificial cardiac pacemakers are used to prompt the heart to beat at a normal rate. Cardiac pacemakers also monitor and record the heart's electrical activity and rhythm. They monitor blood temperature and breathing rate and adjust the heart rate to changes in a person's activities. They can be temporary or permanent, implantable or external, depending on the requirements of the individual.

The Global Nebulizers market forms a significant part of the Global Drug Delivery Devices market. The Global Nebulizers market is growing at a steady pace and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.17 percent during 2013-2018. In terms of geography, the Americas dominated the market in 2013, followed by the EMEA and APAC regions. The US, which has the world's highest per capita healthcare expenditure, was the leading revenue contributor to the Nebulizers market in the Americas in the same year.

Precision farming refers to the use of advanced satellite communications technology such as GIS, GNSS, and GPS in farming to analyze factors such as soil, crops, yields, weed, requirement of fertilizers, and manure and provide better information. This type of farming uses several advanced sensors, monitors, and controllers to help farmers accurately move agricultural equipment. Precision farming provides precise information and data analysis, which helps farmers understand which areas are to be focused on and what requirements are needed for better yield. This type of farming increases crop yield and reduces pollution, making it a popular alternative among farmers. The Global Precision Farming Equipment market is currently growing at a steady pace and is expected to grow at 13.07 percent CAGR during the period 2013-2018. The demand for better yield and modernization of agriculture has recently gained momentum around the world, and these demands are expected to increase during the forecast period. In terms of geographies, the Americas led the global market in 2013, followed by the APAC and EMEA regions.
