Tear duct plugs are small-sized, biocompatible medical devices that are inserted into the tear ducts to block the drainage. Tear duct plugs are also known as punctal plugs or lacrimal plugs. Tear duct plugs reduce the symptoms of dry eye by keeping the eye moist and healthy. Tear duct plugs provide a simple treatment option for chronic dry eye conditions. Dry eye is a very common condition wherein lack of sufficient moisture and lubrication on the surface of the eye leads to dry eye syndrome. The alternative medical terms used to describe dry eyes are keratitis sicca, keratoconjunctivitis siccan, and dysfunctional tear syndrome. Some of the symptoms of dry eye include blurry vision, burning, and scratchiness. Tear duct plugsblock the tear drainage channel located in the inner corner of the eye. Tear duct plugs are generally considered when prescribed eye drops fail to relieve the dry eye condition. Tear duct plugs are usually made of materials such as silicone and collagen.

Antibiotics are generally recommended by doctors for bacterial infections. While fighting the infectious bacteria, antibiotics kill the good bacteria present in the intestine as well, which results in diarrhea. As antibiotics kill the good bacteria, it disrupts the balance of the intestine and increases the bad bacteria resistant to antibiotics. Therefore, it can be said that Antibiotic-associated diarrhea is a side effect of antibiotics. It has been observed that, majority of the time, diarrhea ceases post the course of the antibiotic; however, it may become serious and lead to hospitalization in many cases. Probiotics such as yogurts and fermented products are advised as they help in the functioning of the digestive system. Antibiotics that commonly cause Antibiotic-associated diarrhea

Bell’s palsy is diagnosed by various blood tests to check the presence of bacterial or viral infection. MRI or CT is also used for the final diagnosis of Bell’s palsy by scanning the nerves of patients. Corticosteroids and anticonvulsants are used as the first line of treatment by physicians for the treatment of Bell’s palsy. These drugs are given in combination with anti-bacterial and anti-viral medications. Over-the-counter pain medications, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, can also be used by patients for temporary relief from Bell’s palsy. Moreover, eye drops and ear drops are also used along with these medications if the root cause of Bell’s palsy is ear or eye infection. Various home remedies are also used by patients to manage Bell’s palsy, such as facial massage, physical therapy exercises, a warm & moist towel over your face to relieve pain, etc.
Benign positional vertigo (BPPV) is a sensation of spinning, a form of dizziness. This sensation happens for a few minutes and stops automatically. Benign positional vertigo is related to the labyrinth system which is present inside the inner ear and is responsible for maintaining balance in the body. Sometimes, the free floating particles in the inner ear exert a force to cause benign positional vertigo symptoms

Cervical dystonia/spasmodic torticollis is the involuntary muscular contraction of the neck, which leads to head twist. It is a rare neurological disorder that affects all age groups and most often it affects middle-aged people. Women are more susceptible to cervical dystonia compared to men. Muscular contractions of cervical dystonia can cause the head to twist in different directions, e.g., the chin towards the shoulder, chin straight up, ear toward the shoulder and chin straight down. Most of the people with cervical dystonia experience neck pain and it can be radiated into shoulders. The cause of cervical dystonia is unknown and in few cases, it is considered as genetic. Presently, there is no cure for cervical dystonia and in few cases the treatment is not required. Botulinum toxin injection is used for symptomatic therapy to reduce signs and symptoms, whereas surgery is used in few cases. Botulinum is often used as a paralyzing agent to smooth facial wrinkles. Other treatments such as oral medication that includes anticholinergic agents and dopaminergic agents are used in combination. Oral medication is effective in generalized dystonia and mostly used in children.
Alopecia or hair loss is a chronic dermatology disease in which there is either partial or complete loss of hair from the scalp and other parts of the body. According to the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, approximately 6.8 million people in the United States and 147 million worldwide have developed alopecia at some point of time. A strong family history is one of the main reasons contributing towards pattern baldness or androgenic alopecia in both males and females. As estimated by the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS), more than 35 million men in the U.S. currently suffer from male pattern baldness
Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy is also called Kennedy disease. It is a disorder of the nerve cells that control muscle movement. These nerve cells are present in the brainstem. Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy mainly occurs in males, and is characterized by atrophy that usually arises in adulthood. Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy results in cramping and leg muscle weakness. The bulbar muscles are also affected, which causes disruptive problems regarding swallowing and speech. Fasciculation’s, unusual breast development
Veterinary catheters are the long slender flexible tubes used to deliver medications, fluids, blood, plasma transfusions and gases to the animal body. A catheter is used to drain waste fluids like urine from the body of animals. Veterinary catheters are usually inserted into the blood vessels, ducts, or body cavities. The process of inserting the catheter inside the body is called catheterization. Though catheter insertion is a moderately safe procedure; a trauma may be caused to the bladder occasionally. However, this discomfort caused by usage of catheters can be minimized using soft tip catheters and lubricants. The global veterinary catheters market is a well-established industry with a presence of large number of leading players. Inserting a catheter is considered as a well-tolerated procedure mostly in dogs and cats. A catheter can be placed within number of distinct peripheral veins with most common locations including the front legs and inner/outer side of hind legs. A catheter that is inserted intravenously has been reported to frequently cause nosocomial infection in hospitalized veterinary patients, thus a set of hygiene considerations have to be kept in attention to implement aseptic catheter insertion technique.
