Infectious diseases are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Healthcare facilities across the world are at significant risk of cross-contamination, which can lead to hospital-associated infections (HAIs) in patients. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that around four million patients acquire HAI annually, which leads to around 40,000 mortality cases in patients. However, several advancements in surface treating technologies can help reduce patient exposure to harmful microorganisms.

The growing prevalence of diabetes worldwide is accelerating the demand for selfmonitoring blood glucose devices and test strips. For instance, around 10% of people are suffering from diabetes related complications in the US. Diabetes has been identified as the seventh leading cause of death in the US as it is known to cause cardiovascular conditions such as heart attacks, stroke, and blood clots. Other complications associated with diabetes include kidney-related diseases and amputation of lower limbs. Therefore, regular monitoring of blood glucose levels by diabetic patients and undiagnosed individuals is critical in effectively managing this chronic condition.

The healthcare sector is undergoing rapid changes with technological advancements and scientific breakthroughs to provide quality healthcare at an affordable cost. As a part of this, healthcare is adopting new technologies and is undergoing a digital transformation. One of the leading areas under this transformation is digital pathology, which is the digitalization of pathological operations. Digital pathology has been in healthcare and research since the introduction of photographic plates. But as technology is advancing, the tools used for performing pathological operations digitally are also advancing, with improvements in accuracy, ease of use, and connectivity.

Medication prescription is a formal communication method that physicians use to authorize a pharmacist to dispense prescription drugs or controlled substances to patients. For years, physicians have used hand-written prescriptions for communicating medication instructions to patients and documenting the drug requirements for pharmacists. Factors such as the rapidly expanding population and the growing need for health care services pose a significant challenge to the national healthcare systems worldwide. Also, the increasing use of medications to treat different ailments has resulted in a corresponding rise in the number of medication prescriptions and diversity in medication types.

Allergies or allergic diseases are caused due to hypersensitive reactions produced by the immune system to substances that are often considered harmless in general. Allergic diseases impact almost 20% of the global population. The prevalence of allergies is increasing with population, especially among children, opting to stay indoors. Hence, many researchers have started to refer to allergies as modern epidemic. This is mostly the case with food allergies that cause the highest anaphylaxis. Allergies occur when the body encounters specific substances and the immune system of the body recognizes it as a harmful substance. Such substances are termed as allergens. When allergen encounters the body through eyes, nose, skin, or ingestion, it produces an allergic response. Based on the mechanism followed during an allergic response, the allergic reactions are categorized as types I, II, III, and IV. The first three types of allergic reactions are caused by antibodies, whereas the type IV allergic reaction is caused by the lymphocytes.

In the 1840s, the introduction of ether, a surgical anesthetic, made surgical procedures more common. Initially, general anesthesia was given through a device that covered the nose and mouth of the patient. The concern for aspiration of gastric content was not appreciated, and postoperative pneumonia became a common problem. Trendelenburg (1869) designed the first inflatable cuff, a thin rubber bag that was fitted over the end of a tracheostomy tube. It created a tight seal to prevent aspiration during anesthesia. As an alternate method for tracheostomy, Macewen (1880) suggested passing an oral tube into the trachea to relieve an obstruction. Later, anesthesiologist Franz Kuhn used metal tubes and preferred the oral route over tracheostomy and popularized orotracheal anesthesia.

Ultrasonic flowmeters use ultrasonic waves to measure flow rate of fluids. The calculation is done from frequency shift of a transmitted ultrasonic signal that has travelled through the process fluid. The working principle of ultrasonic flowmeters is based on Doppler effect or Transit-time type. Although both these technologies are based on ultrasonic signals, there are major differences in the way the signal is transmitted and received. This difference makes them ideal for a wide range of fluids such as liquids, gases, and steam.

Over the past few decades, the pharmaceutical packaging panorama has seen a lot of changes and transformations. The launch of new technologies has lined the way for pharma packaging companies to discover more advanced solutions, enhance their procedures, and drive proficiencies across the supply chain. In the early days, glass medical and drug bottles were common and less costly to manufacture. However, plastic bottles were effective but very costly to produce on a mass scale. Eventually, with innovations, plastic became less expensive. As the production costs of these materials went down, they became the standard options for pharmaceutical packaging. At present, plastic bottles are everywhere in the pharmaceutical field, offering tamper-proof, child-safe options and resilience against water, heat, and impact.

In the modern era, it has become clear that environmental surfaces can easily be contaminated with infectious and disease-causing agents, and hence, disinfection plays a vital role in minimizing or reducing the chances of spreading infections. Disinfection is a process that includes physical or chemical means to control or destroy the harmful microorganisms that cause infectious diseases. The process of disinfection can be categorized into three levels in terms of the efficacy of disinfection. The chemical disinfectants are mainly categorized as per their chemical properties. These have different modes of action to destroy microbes, which include denaturing lipids or proteins, rupturing the cell wall, alkylation, or oxidation.

Nutrition is an essential part of life, and the need for nutrition is often amplified by acute or chronic illness. Several studies indicate an estimated 30% to 50% of patients hospitalized in the US show signs of malnutrition, which can occur due to an imbalanced diet, impaired digestion or absorption of nutrition, or other medical conditions when metabolic requirements exceed intake. Malnutrition is a global problem, and studies have indicated that 40% of hospitalized elderly patients in Canada and nearly 40% of hospitalized patients in Europe suffer from malnutrition, which, if left unmanaged, can worsen morbidity, mortality, and health complications, in addition to extending hospitalization.

World war II gave rise to many advances, including healthcare specialization. In 1948, now called the American Academy of Family Physicians created the first U.S. CME credit system, which required 150 hours of CME for re-election to the membership every three years. In 1968, the American Medical Association came out with its Physician Recognition Award Categories 1 and 2, followed in 1972 by the American Osteopathic Association establishing categories of credit. Then, in 1981, along came the Accreditation Council for CME, which was created by the other medical organizations to provide a form of professional self-regulation for now 2,000 accredited providers of CME.
