In addition to being one of the most important tissues in the body, blood has emerged as a key vector in the transmission of the world's deadliest infectious diseases. With the rising demand for transfusions in a variety of conditions such as anemias, trauma, and high-blood-loss surgeries, supplies have been stretched and the dangers of disease transmission have added significant cost pressures to maintaining a safe supply. One possible solution to ease the crunch, particularly in acute amergency care settings...Published: January 1, 2005 | Price: $3,500.00 – $7,000.00
This report covers clinical and drug discovery assay systems that use cells as the basic source material. Sources of the cells to be studied include peripheral blood, cord blood, bone marrow, urine, cerebrospinal and other body fluids and tissue samples. Cell analysis is not a new laboratory procedure. Clinical diagnostics using cells and tissues is one of the oldest disciplines in laboratory medicine. Histological study of biopsy samples, the complete blood count, and the enumeration of disease-bearing cells have been...Published: January 1, 2005 | Price: $3,500.00 – $7,000.00
The concept of nucleic acid-based therapeutics is not a new one. For a long time it has been thought that molecules similar to those that make up our genetic structure would make effective therapeutics. It is an idea whose time has come. There are six types of nucleic acid-based therapeutics that have been proposed. Some have made it to market, others are still in development, and some have been put on the back burner due to technical difficulties. The six...Published: November 15, 2004 | Price: $4,995.00 – $9,990.00

Gene and chromosome testing for inherited diseases currently represents the third largest molecular diagnostics testing segment in the U.S. Assays in this market address applications in genetic carrier and predisposition testing. Currently, most testing is for prenatal screening and for assessing clinically suspect newborns for various chromosomal abnormalities (e.g., Down’s syndrome, fragile X syndrome). Some testing is used for genetic counseling for couples planning to have children. Such diagnostics test for the presence of carrier states of diseases such as...Published: October 1, 2004 | Price: $995.00 – $1,990.00
Currently, the largest market application segment for molecular diagnostics is that for infectious disease testing. The segment is expected to grow at an annual rate between 7% and 8% over the next few years will present some excellent market opportunites for molecular diagnostic competitors. This summary report, extracted from Kalorama Information’s U.S. Market for Molecular Diagnostics, (2nd Edition, May 2004), focuses on the technologies and application of molecular diagnostics in the field of infectious disease testing. The major market effects...Published: October 1, 2004 | Price: $995.00 – $1,990.00
The field of pharmacogenetics promises to open up new opportunities for the diagnostic industry at the same time it opens the door to more effective therapeutics. Pharmacogenetics is based on the principle that the effects of a given medication when administered to a patient are determined, at least in part, by his or her genetic constitution. Differences in drug metabolism may lead to varying adverse events or more pronounced adverse events in different individuals, and differing metabolism may also lead...Published: May 1, 2004 | Price: $3,500.00 – $7,000.00
Molecular diagnostics are seen as being a major breakthrough in medical science. While the technology itself has broad applications to such areas as agricultural bioterrorism and environmental science, medical and medical research applications have provided the primary focus. As a result, great things have been predicted for the development and use of new therapeutics based on molecular testing approaches. The primary molecular diagnostics approaches are based on two major database sciences (genomics and proteomics) and their relationship to disease and...Published: April 1, 2004 | Price: $3,500.00 – $7,000.00
Changing demographics are spurring dynamic growth in the interventional radiology market. The angioplasty balloon, coronary stent, vascular closure, and other associated equipment markets will experience healthy growth over the next 5 years. Persons over the age of 65 will be a major segment of the population in coming years. Chronic diseases and unhealthy habits such as smoking, lack of exercise, and poor diet are resulting in an epidemic of obesity and concomitant cardiac conditions. These factors and others will drive...Published: April 1, 2004 | Price: $1,995.00 – $3,990.00
The recent terrorism events, in addition to the ease of travel that allows infectious diseases to spread, and technology developments drive the renewed interest in clinical and environmental infectious disease diagnostics. The combined public health and bio-terrorism markets of several bacterial and protozoan diseases are estimated to be nearly $100 million. This report, the final volume of the Diagnostics for Emerging Infectious Disease Threats series, focuses on diagnostic testing for 11 bacterial and protozoal diseases in clinical and environmental testing:...Published: March 1, 2004 | Price: $3,995.00 – $7,990.00
A host of new and old infectious diseases have emerged on the world stage, presenting familiar and novel challenges to public health officials. New strains of once controlled bacteria, new immunocomprimised patient populations, and new bioterror threats have spurred diagnostics companies to develop new tests and kits to meet the demand. Kalorama has assembled the vital data developers and marketers need to understand the competitive and commercial landscape in three volumes: Prion Disease; Viral Disease ; and Baterial & Protozoal...Published: December 1, 2003 | Price: $1,496.00 – $2,992.00
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), which was a new and unidentified disease when it first affected people, ripped through Asia and Toronto from late 2002 into the summer of 2003, before being contained for the season. Taiwan with just 346 reported cases performed 10,000 diagnostic tests. Three years after West Nile Virus (WNV) first appeared in the United States in 1999 with just 62 cases and 7 deaths, the U.S. Center for Disease Control reports thousands of cases and 150...Published: October 1, 2003 | Price: $1,496.00 – $2,992.00
Diagnostic testing for prion diseases has become more important as countries increase the number of tests to battle the potential public health problem. Academic, government, and industry organizations continue to develop diagnostic testing technologies and policies as preventative measures. The number of prion diagnostic technologies being used and developed for prion diseases primarily reflects the scientific and technical challenges of detecting prion proteins. Growth of prion testing will depend on these technology breakthroughs and the future prevalence of prion disease....Published: May 1, 2003 | Price: $2,625.00 – $5,250.00
