Fungal Endocarditis Market Up To 2023: Top Companies, Growth Factors Details And Regional Overview By Types & Application

Market Scenario
Fungal endocarditis is a rare and extremely enfeebling disease associated with high rate of mortality of around 50%. The condition is usually being diagnosed postmortem. The etiologic fungi more commonly observed are the Candida and Aspergillus species.
As per the study published in the International Cardiovascular Research Journal in 2014, it is found that Candida albicans, and Aspergillus species are the most frequent cause of fungal endocarditis. Candida albicans is found to be responsible for 24%-46% of cases of fungal endocarditis, and for 3.4% of the prosthetic valve endocarditis cases with associated mortality rates of 46.6%-50%. After Candida, Aspergillus species is the second most common cause of fungal endocarditis, accounting for nearly 25% of the cases of fungal endocarditis in cardiac valve prostheses and the great vessels.
With an increasing age, the incidence of Candida fungal endocarditis decreases whereas the incidence of Aspergillus fungal endocarditis increases. The affected cardiac sites in neonates is significantly different from the adults with the right atrium being predominant in 63% of neonates
The possible complications associated with fungal endocarditis are congestive heart failure, mitral and aortic valve incompetence, neurological complications, formation of myocardial abscesses, and metastatic infections. According to a study published in PLOS one in 2013, it is found that the incidence of hospitalization for fungal endocarditis in the United States is 12.7 per 100,000 annually.
Notably, rising awareness about fungal infections is the key factor driving the fungal endocarditis market. Nowadays, people are becoming more aware about the different types of fungal infections. Government and other different organizations have started educating people about the hygiene and infectious diseases. People are becoming more aware and conscious about the diseases.

The increasing incidence of musculoskeletal conditions and technological advancements in medical diagnostic devices are some factors responsible for the growth of the global neuropathology market.
The work of the neuropathologists includes examining biopsy tissue from the brain and spinal cord to diagnose a disease. The biopsy is usually performed if a mass is detected by radiologic imaging. In case of autopsies, the foremost work of the neuropathologist is to help in the post-mortem diagnosis of various forms of neural conditions such as dementia and other, that may have affected the central nervous system.
The number of patients suffering from cerebrovascular disorders has increased rapidly and has reached an all-time high in the past few years. There has been a significant rise in the number of surgeries associated with the treatment of such disorders. As the neurosurgeries and spinal surgeries are very critical, continuous monitoring during the whole procedure proves to be beneficial as the information about the electrical signals in brain and the nerves can be obtained in real time.
Biopsies primarily consist of the skin. The recently developed neuropathy test, the epidermal nerve fiber density testing (ENFD) in which the nerve fibers of the skin is analysed by performing a  punch skin biopsy to identify small fiber neuropathies. This pathology test is becoming available in selected labs as well as a few universities; it replaces the traditional sural nerve biopsy test and is less invasive. It is used to identify painful small fiber neuropathies.
There are many neuropathologists around the world who have made important clinical and research contributions toward our understanding of diseases that specifically affect the brain (degenerative diseases, multiple sclerosis, stroke, brain tumors, trauma and neuromuscular diseases). A majority of them are members of the International Society of Neuropathology (ISN).
The diagnostic samples comprises of aspirates and bone-marrow biopsies, lymph-node biopsies, body fluids, peripheral blood smears, and tissue resections from various CUMC units. Morphologic evaluation and studies, including flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, next-generation sequencing and cytogenetic analysis are performed in diagnostic laboratories.
The laboratory also analyses biopsies using histochemical and immunohistochemical methods to identify glycogenosis, lipid storage myopathy, mitochondrial myopathy, muscular dystrophy, and their inherited disorders. In appropriate cases, further biochemical and genetic analysis of muscle is performed by Laboratory of Personalized Genomic Medicine at CUMC.
According to the Labor Force Survey (LFS), about 553,000 cases were registered for all work-related musculoskeletal disorder out of the total of 1,243,000 cases.

Augmented Bone Graft Market Financial Overview, Swot Analysis, Key Development And Forecasts Till 2023

According to the British Editorial Society of Bone & Joint Surgery, bone is the second most common transplanted tissue after blood with an estimated 2.2 million grafting procedures worldwide annually as recorded in 2015. This development has been fuelled by the increasing cases of fractures and accidents around the world.
The Global Augmented Bone Graft Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of approximately 7.8% during the forecast period 2017-2023.
Augment Bone Graft is a combination drug/device product used for repairing the bone and reviving its regenerative properties. It is used as an alternative to autograft in arthrodesis of the ankle or hindfoot indicating the need for supplemental graft material. The use of augment bone graft eliminates the need for a second surgery to harvest autologous bone, thereby avoiding donor site morbidity. According to the National Health Interview Survey, in 2012, around 126 million adults were affected by this disease in the U.S. According to the Labor Force Survey (LFS), about 553,000 cases were registered for all work-related musculoskeletal disorder out of the total of 1,243,000 cases.
Allografts and bovine-derived bone graft products dominate the augmented bone graft market. These materials have variations in particle size which is their main drawback. The recent technological trend is to replace these natural materials with alloplastic bone grafts such as ceramics and polymers as they can be manufactured to the precise size and characteristics.
There has been increasing acceptance of bone grafting procedures which drives the market for augmented bone graft products. Many healthcare professionals have started using these bone grafts, especially in tertiary care centers and specialty hospitals which may promote and increase the demand for augmented bone graft. These bone graft works in a unique way to stimulate three key processes of early bone healing.
Various other factors such as, increasing advancement in technology, and rising adoption rate of new technology continuously contribute to the growth of this market. Despite these developments, high cost of surgeries and ethical issues related with bone grafting procedures may hamper the growth of the market. For instance, a study conducted by BMC Medical Ethics states that in a sample of 100 patients, about 20% of the patients refuse to accept allografts for their grafting surgery.
Additionally, stringent regulations obstruct the growth of augmented bone grafts market size and inadequate reimbursement policies for bone grafting also hampers the growth of global bone grafts market. Rapid product launches and increasing mergers and acquisitions between bone graft systems manufacturing companies are some of the major trends in the global bone grafts market.
