全球糖尿病视网膜病变市场报告(2014-2018年)
DR is defined as an eye disorder that damages the blood vessels of the retina. The retina is the light-sensitive inner surface of the eye that acts as a film for the formation of an image. Longterm diabetes affects the retina as a high blood glucose level can damage the tiny blood vessels in the retina. DR is broadly classified as non-proliferative DR and proliferative DR. The treatment for DR is dependent on the stage of the disease and is directed at trying to slow or stop the progression of the disease. At present, three types of treatment exist for DR, namely: laser surgery, injection of corticosteroids or anti-VEGF drugs into the eye, and vitrectomy.

全球市场高胆固醇血症报告(2014-2018年)
Hypercholesterolemia is a condition characterized by very high levels of total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol in the blood. High cholesterol levels, in turn, can lead to CVDs such as atherosclerosis and stroke. The normal physiological range of total blood cholesterol is 140-200 mg/dL. However, blood cholesterol consists of various individual components such as LDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol. While LDL delivers cholesterol to the body, HDL removes cholesterol from the cells by reverse cholesterol transport to the liver. Owing to their distinct roles, these components are individually evaluated to determine the dyslipidemic status of an individual. FH is the inheritable form of hypercholesterolemia characterized by elevated levels of total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol. HeFH is the condition inherited because of the presence of one abnormal copy of the LDLR gene. HoFH is characterized by the presence of abnormal copies of both the LDLR alleles.

全球分子细胞遗传学市场报告(2014-2018年)
Molecular cytogenetics is the study of chromosomes using molecular biology to understand the role and functions of genes and chromosomes. It plays a crucial role in the early diagnosis of a disease, identification of genetic tendency to cause disease, and prediction of an individual's reaction to a drug. FISH and aCGH play a prominent role in molecular cytogenetic technology. They involve screening and diagnostic tests that are used for determining the complex interaction of genes and chromosomes to assess the status of a disease. In addition, molecular cytogenetics is mainly used in research laboratories for drug discovery, identification of biomarkers, and screening drug candidates that react to the biomarkers.

全球卵巢癌市场报告(2014-2018年)
Ovarian cancer is a malignancy formed by uncontrollable cell growth in the ovarian tissue. It is one of the major gynecological cancers worldwide and a leading cause of cancer death. It is difficult to diagnose ovarian cancer in the initial stages because of the lack of advance diagnostic tools. Moreover, the symptoms of ovarian cancer are similar to that of gastric disorders, which include bloating, abdominal discomfort, and difficulty in eating in the early stages followed by nausea, vomiting, constipation, and diarrhea in the later stages. Ovarian cancer can be treated by using chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and surgery. Though the market has a limited number of drugs for ovarian cancer, late stage pipeline molecules are expected to launch during the forecast period.

全球乳腺癌市场报告(2014-2018年)
Breast cancer is characterized by the uncontrolled growth of cancerous cells in the breast tissue. It occurs in both males and females; however, male breast cancer is rare. Histologically, breast cancer can be classified into ductal carcinoma, lobular carcinoma, nipple cancer, and other undifferentiated carcinoma. Ductal carcinoma is a condition where malignant cells are present in the lining of the milk ducts while in lobular carcinoma the cells are present in the milk glands of the breast. When breast cancer spreads from the site of origin to surrounding tissue, it is known as invasive breast cancer. Invasive ductal carcinoma is the most common subtype accounting for 70-80 percent of all the breast cancer cases. In women, breast cancer is the second most common form of cancer. GLOBOCAN reported that in 2012, breast cancer accounted for 11.9 percent of the total cancer cases and led to 522,000 deaths worldwide.

全球葡萄膜炎市场报告(2014-2018年)
Uveitis is defined as the inflammation of the middle layer of the eye i.e. the uvea, also known as the uceal tract. The uvea consists of the iris, choroid and ciliary body. Infections, injury and autoimmune disorders may be related to the development of uveitis, however the exact cause is often unknown. Various types of uveitis are: anterior uveitis, intermediate uveitis, posterior uveitis, and pan uveitis. The most common type of uveitis is an inflammation of the iris called iritis (anterior uveitis). Uveitis can be serious, leading to permanent vision loss.

全球年龄相关性黄斑变性AMD的市场报告(2014-2018年)
The macula is a small area in the retina that is responsible for the central vision. AMD is defined as the deterioration of the eye's macula. The exact etiology of AMD is unknown. There are two types of AMD: wet and dry. Wet AMD occurs when tiny abnormal blood vessels begin growing behind the retina, toward the macula, while dry AMD occurs when small, yellowish deposits called drusen begin accumulating beneath the macula. While a number of treatments are available for wet AMD, there is no treatment available at the moment for dry AMD.
