Dupuytren's contracture is a condition in which there is difficulty in articulating the fingers of the hand due to formation of tissue knots beneath the skin. The fingers become permanently bent in a flexed position in severe condition. Dupuytren's contracture is not painful and most commonly affects the ring finger followed by the little and middle fingers. It has a higher rate in males over the age of 50. The exact causes of Dupuytren's contracture are unknown, however, the risk factors include thyroid problems, alcoholism, liver disease, smoking, diabetes, epilepsy, previous hand trauma, and family history. The surgery is performed when the proximal interphalangeal joint contracture exceeds 20 degrees or the metacarpophalangeal joint contracture exceeds 40 degrees. The less severe forms of the Dupuytren's contracture disease are treated with steroid treatment and physiotherapy.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
COVID-19 is an infectious disease that originated in Hubei province of the Wuhan city in China in late December. The highly contagious disease, caused by a virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is transmitted from human to human. Since the outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to almost 213 countries around the globe with the World Health Organization declaring it a public health emergency on March 11, 2020.
Pharmaceutical and biotech companies together with governments around the globe are working to address the COVID-19 outbreak, from supporting the development of vaccines to planning for medicine supply chain challenges. Currently, around 115 vaccine candidates and 155 molecules are in the R&D pipeline. Moreover, commonly used drugs such as hydroxychloroquine have witnessed a dramatic surge in demand for the management of COVID-19. Such high demand for these drugs has presented huge opportunities for manufacturers of COVID-19 management drugs, as many developed countries are facing shortage of these drugs. Thus, the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries are expected witness a significant growth in the future owing to the demand for vaccine and treatment drugs for COVID-19. This, in turn, is expected to have a significant impact on the Dupuytren’s contracture market.
