Abstract:
The present invention is to offer an oxygen bath system, which supplies highly concentrated oxygen and a mist of liquid at a predetermined pressure value into a chamber, thereby enabling to efficiently cause oxygen and the mist to be absorbed into the skin and the mucous membrane of a human organism. The oxygen bath system comprises a chamber 51 of accommodating a human organism; a gas supply means 11 of supplying gas containing oxygen of predetermined concentration; a liquid supply means 21 of supplying a liquid; a mist generating means 31 of generating a mist; a pressurizing means 41 of pressurizing the mist and gas containing 25 to 40% oxygen gas generated from gas supplied from the gas supply means 11 and air, and supplying them into the chamber 51; sensors of detecting measured values of air pressure, oxygen concentration, temperature and moisture within the chamber 51; and a control means 71 of controlling the environment within the chamber 51 to be within the ranges of the predetermined set values in response to the measured values detected by the sensors 61, thereby to promoting absorption of the mist and gas into the skin and mucous membrane of the human organism.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a passive trainer for incontinence treatment and rehabilitation. The trainer comprises an elongated effecter configured for being reversibly introduced entirely into the rectum via the anus; or into the vagina of a human patient; and, a stopper coupled to said effecter, said stopper being adapted to remain external and adjacent to said anus, for preventing slippage of said effecter deeper into said rectum or said vagina; wherein the treatment and rehabilitation are obtained passively without any application of external forces. The present invention further discloses a method of rehabilitating and treating incontinence.
Abstract:

The present invention has a compact structure, have a function of oxygen-supplying in addition to leisure or fitness, and it is suitable for family use and for public places such as entertainment sites, physical training centers or hospitals.
Abstract:
A method for regulating gas flows into and out of a patient includes repetitively forcing respiratory gases out of the lungs. Respiratory gases are prevented from entering back into the lungs during a time between when respiratory gases are forced out of the lungs. Periodically, an oxygen-containing gas is supplied to the lungs.

Abstract:
An air-blowing assembly for providing cooling air to the user of a spa, jetted bathtub or other heated water-containing member. The assembly has an air blower with an air blower inlet which received air from outside of the area of the spa. The blower conducts cooling air into a manifold. The manifold directs cooling air out of a series of vents on the upper lip of the spa. The air vents are adjustable in direction so that the user of the spa can direct cooling air to alleviate discomfort from an otherwise hot and moist atmosphere.
Abstract:
An improved respirator with a breathing circuit (100) and a corresponding process for operating the respirator are provided. Defined breathing gas volumes can be delivered to the patient and the current operating state can be reliably monitored despite a strong breathing gas volume flow being delivered in the breathing circuit (100). A gas delivery element (1) designed as a rotary compressor is connected on the inlet side to a reversible breathing gas reservoir (7) and on the outlet side to a patient connection piece (9) for inspiration via a first gas volume flow sensor (2) with a first nonreturn valve (11). A second gas volume flow sensor (5) is located in the connection line between the patient connection piece (9) and the patient being inspirated. The patient connection piece (9) is connected for expiration to a second nonreturn valve (10) via a third gas volume flow sensor (3) and to the reversible breathing gas reservoir (7) via a controllable shut-off valve (4). At least one measuring and control device (14, 15) is connected to the gas volume flow sensors (2, 5, 3), it receives their measured signals and sends control signals to the gas delivery element (1) and to the controllable shut-off valve (4).
Abstract:
This disclosure describes methods and systems for preventing, moderating, and/or treating brain injury. The methods herein may include obtaining a test result reflecting a condition of a brain in the subject, determining a stimulation parameter based on the test result, and stimulating a nerve based on the stimulation parameter, wherein stimulation of the nerve assists or causes contraction of a respiratory muscle in the subject. The systems herein may include a processor configured to: receive a test result reflecting a condition of a brain in a subject, and determine a stimulation parameter based on the test result; and a stimulator configured to stimulate a nerve based on the stimulation parameter, wherein stimulation of the nerve assists or causes contraction of a respiratory muscle in the subject.
Abstract:
A flow sensor system for ventilation treatment comprises a flow conduit configured to allow gas flow between a first region and a second region, the flow conduit defining a lumen for the gas flow; a flow restrictor disposed within the lumen of the flow conduit between the first region and the second region; a first absolute pressure sensor disposed adjacent to the first region of the flow conduit and configured to measure a pressure of the gas flow at the first region of the flow conduit; and a second absolute pressure sensor disposed adjacent to the second region of the flow conduit and configured to measure pressure of the gas flow at the second region of the flow conduit.
Abstract:
Methods of treating subjects may include assisting breathing of the subject via an external respiratory support device. The methods of treating subjects may further include delivering an electrical signal to a first nerve of the subject, wherein delivering of the first signal blocks a pain signal from a pulmonary stretch pain receptor. The methods may further include placing one or more electrodes proximate a first nerve, wherein the first electrodes are supported on an intravenous catheter.
