Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) refers to a developmental neuropsychiatric disorder owing to which a person loses control over her/his executive functions, including attentional and inhibitory control. As a result, it may lead to attention deficit, hyperactivity, or impulsiveness. Treatment for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder includes medications, lifestyle changes, and counseling. This disorder is more common in children below 12 years of age and the cause behind this disorder is still unknown. Common symptoms for attention attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder are difficulty in maintaining focus on one task, being easily distracted, missing details, forgetting things, frequent tendencies to switch from one activity to another, impatience, being constantly in motion, and having difficulty in doing quiet tasks or activities. Medications for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder may be classified into stimulants, nonstimulants, and others. The market for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder therapeutics is increasing at a significant rate due to increasing number of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder cases worldwide.

Coronary artery disease is a very common type of heart disease. It occurs when the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle harden and become narrow owing to the buildup of cholesterol and other materials on their inner walls. This results in insufficient blood and oxygen flow through the arteries to the heart muscle, hampering its normal functioning. This can lead to chest pain and heart attack. The major reason behind a heart attack is the sudden discontinuation of blood supply to the heart, which permanently damages the organ. Coronary artery diseases also weaken the heart muscle and contribute to heart failure and arrhythmias.

Organomagnesiums belong to class of organometallic compounds which contain carbon-magnesium and other halide bonds. Organomagnesiums are one of the major reagents used in organic synthesis, mostly used to transfer organic group through nucleophilic addition. Organomagnesium compounds should be handled only under inert gas environment for safety purposes. Inert gases like nitrogen or argon are usually used for this purpose. Addition of acids, water or any oxiding materials to organomagnesium compounds mainly due their high reactivity. Organomagnesiums find large number of industrial applications primarily due to their nature to bind with halogens and other halides through single electron transfer process. Organomagnesiums are commonly found as Grignard reagents like ethylmagnesium bromide phenylmagnesium bromide and several others. Phenylmagnesium bromide is a strong nucleophile as well as a strong base. It reacts with carbon di-oxide to give benzoic acid which has numerous applications such as precursor for plasticizers and sodium benzoate (for preservatives).The market for organomagnesium is largely dominated by the U.S, followed by Europe and then Asia-Pacific region. The organomagnesium market is largely affected by increased prices of raw materials and cheaper substitutes. The application in form of catalysts acts as a prime driver for organomagnesium market.

Leukocyte concentration, red cell concentration, plasma for transfusion, and platelet concentration, are some of the blood products, which are obtained from the processing of single donations of blood or plasma. In whole blood, red blood cells, leukocytes, and platelets are suspended within the plasma. Blood plasma is the liquid component of the whole blood, and makes up approximately 55% of the total blood volume. It is a complex biological material mainly composed of water with small amount of minerals, ions, nutrients, salts, and proteins in the solution. Human plasma is composed of protease inhibitors, protease, fibrinolytic proteins, coagulation factors, and anti-coagulant proteins. Human plasma is obtained through large scale processing steps known as fractionation, i.e. a sequence of process in which plasma is separated for medicinal use. Human blood plasma is obtained by separating the plasma from the whole blood or by apheresis.

Pyrogens are lipopolysaccharides, in which the lipid part is pyrogenic in nature and the polysaccharide part increases the solubility of the pyrogen. Pyrogens are fever-inducing substances and are the products of metabolism of bacteria and viruses. However, it is the gram-negative bacteria that produce the most potent pyrogen. Pyrogen contamination can occur due to environmental factors, and through contaminated solute, solvent, apparatus, and container. The human body is capable of fighting the bacterial toxins it is exposed to in the environment through the skin. However, when contaminated drugs are injected into the bloodstream, the toxins bypass normal defense mechanisms. In such a situation, the white blood cells present in the body start releasing another form of pyrogen that causes high fever, which in certain cases may lead to shock and death. Rise in body temperature, chills, body aches, rise in arterial blood pressure, and cutaneous vasoconstriction are some of the reactions caused in the human body following the injection of harmful pyrogens. Pharmaceutical companies use pyrogen testing to determine the presence of bacterial toxins in medical and veterinary products. This process helps to detect the presence of microbes or their metabolites in intravenous solutions during manufacturing operations. The most common and oldest form of pyrogen testing is injecting drugs into rabbits. During this process, the substance is injected into the rabbit's ear to determine if the fever occurs. The rabbit pyrogen test is commonly conducted to detect the possibility of pyrogen contamination in injectable pharmaceuticals. However, the rabbit pyrogen test has some limitations. Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) test, a bacterial endotoxin test, is also used to detect pyrogens. This test is carried out on pharmaceutical products used in parenteral dosage form, blood products and plasma fractions, vaccines, nebulizers used in respiratory therapy, and for the validation of dry heat sterilization. However, LAL test is more advantageous than the rabbit pyrogen test as it is less time consuming, more sensitive, less expensive, and easier to perform.

Hematology is the branch of medicine which deals with the study, diagnosis, and treatment of blood-related disorders. It diagnoses issues related to white blood cells, red blood cells, platelets, bone marrow, and lymph nodes. Hematology also deals with the liquid portion of blood known as plasma. Some blood-associated diseases are anemia, leukemia, myelofibrosis, blood transfusion, malignant lymphomas, and bone marrow stem cell transplantation. Hematology analyzers, coagulation analyzers, flow cytometers, and slide strainers are some of the hematologic instruments used to analyze blood and blood-related disorders. Hematology analyzers are highly specialized instruments used to count the number of white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. Hematology analyzers are made up of multiple analytical modules with unique sample preparation processes. They assist in the diagnosis of various diseases, such as infections, anemia, viruses, diabetes, genetic problems, and cancer. It also regulates plasma drug level for both therapeutic and illicit drugs. Fully automated hematology analyzers and semi-automated analyzers are the two types of hematology analyzer available based on the type of automation. Fatigue, pale skin, and shortness of breath with exertion are some of the common symptoms of blood disorders. Clinical testing laboratories, hospitals, and research institutions are some of the users of hematology analyzers and reagents.

Aspartic acid is an alpha amino acid with its carboxylate anion and salts of aspartic acid known as aspartate. Aspartic acid, when combined with glutamic acid is referred as an acidic amino acid. Two forms of enantiomers of aspartic acid are available in the industry: L-aspartic acid, which is directly incorporated into proteins, and D-aspartic acid, which is limited in nature. Most chemical synthesis tend to produce both form of enantiomers "DL-aspartic acid", also known as racemic mixture, as compared to enzymatic synthesis which would produce one or the other. As Aspartic acid does not come under essential amino acids, it can be synthesized from central metabolic pathway intermediates in humans. It is usually found in vegetable sources such as oat flakes and asparagus, animal sources such as oysters and sausage meat, and dietary supplements as salts or aspartic acid itself.

Bromine is a colorless soluble crystalline mineral halide salt which is extracted from brine pools.

Its end-user industries include water treatment, electronics, furnishing, automotive, agricultural, oil & gas, textile and construction among others.

Gemstones are elements of minerals which when polished and cut are used for making jewelry and other ornaments, as well as for decoration purposes. Certain rocks or organic materials that are not considered as minerals are also consumed in making jewelry products and are hence considered to gemstones as well. While most of the gemstones are hard in nature, certain soft minerals are used in making jewelry owing to their luster and other properties exhibiting aesthetic value. In addition to jewelry, hardstone carvings and antiquity gems have been major luxury art forms as well. They are usually treated in order to improve the clarity or color of the stone, and can affect the value of the stone depending upon the extent and type of treatment. Certain gemstones are produced to imitate other gemstones. Such gemstones include synthetic moissanite and cubic zirconia which is a synthetic diamond stimulant consisting of zirconium oxide. These gemstones replicate the color and look the original stone but don't exhibit their physical and chemical properties. Moissanite has a higher refractive index as compared to diamond and has more "fire" when presented with an equivalent cut and sized diamond.
