In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a process for electrochemical hydrogen production is provided. The process includes providing an electrochemical cell with an anode side including an anode, a cathode side including a cathode, and a membrane separating the anode side from the cathode side. The process further includes feeding molecules of at least one gaseous reactant to the anode, oxidizing one or more molecules of the gaseous reactant at the anode to produce a gas product and protons, passing the protons through the membrane to the cathode, and reducing the protons at the cathode to form hydrogen gas.

A feminine cooling pad configured for cooling a vulva and/or adjacent region. The cooling pad may include a non-adhesive outer liquid permeable layer configured to be oriented toward the pubic area during use. A liquid absorbent layer forming or adjacent to the outer layer absorbs bodily fluids or discharges during use. A cooling layer adjacent to the liquid absorbent layer provides cooling for at least about 15 minutes when the cooling pad is placed adjacent to the pubic area of a woman. An optional adhesive layer adjacent to the cooling layer can adhere the feminine cooling pad to an undergarment or clothing during use and maintain the cooling pad in a desired orientation. A feminine heating pad may include a microwavable material that becomes warm or hot when placed in a microwave oven. A feminine cooling pad can operate as a heating pad when heated instead of cooled.

An emergency management system having an ice water immersion bag capable of rapidly cooling an overheated individual's body through its combination of elements, apertures, and capacity. An overheated individual is placed within the ice immersion bag, yet the individual's body may still be accessed in the event of a medical emergency through the use of one of the many openings presented throughout the bag. The openings otherwise remain sealed and waterproof to prevent the ice water from escaping the bag, further effectuating ice water immersion to rapidly cool the overheated individual.

An insulated pouch with ice pack pockets is shown and described. The insulated pouch with ice pack pockets includes an insulated pouch having at least one layer. A first exterior layer, a second layer and a third interior layer. The second layer is comprised of at least an insulation. The insulated pouch is configured to have an interior with a volume capable of fitting a human body therein. An opening located at least at one end of the insulated pouch. A plurality of pockets attached to the interior of the insulated pouch. An ice pack located within each of the plurality of pockets. In one instance the ice packs are removable from each pocket.

A container including an opening in a top portion sized and adapted to receive water from a water source; one or more side walls and a bottom wall below the opening, the one or more side walls and the bottom wall forming at least one interior compartment; a plurality of apertures on the bottom wall; and one or more fasteners in the top portion above the opening, the one or more fasteners being adapted to attach the container to the water source, wherein the one or more side walls incorporate an insulating material and the at least one interior compartment is thereby adapted to contain a cooling substance for cooling the water received from the water source and to allow cooled water to exit the at least one interior compartment through the plurality of apertures on the bottom wall.

A non-pharmaceutical hiccup remedy device that makes use of known treatments for hiccups but in a novel way is described. The device is a drinking cup with an extension that applies a cold finger extension to the cheek of the hiccup sufferer user simultaneous to drinking from the cup. The device has been found by the inventor to provide rapid alleviation of hiccups without the discomfort of prior solutions and without the side effects of pharmaceutical treatments for hiccups. The device can be sized and/or, in some embodiments, adjusted for the particular user, from child to adult.

The present invention provides a scalp cooling device, including a covering part for wrapping a patient's scalp and a cooling part disposed within the covering part. This device can wrap around the patient's scalp and provide a cooling effect, causing the blood vessels in the scalp skin to constrict, reducing the blood flow to the scalp hair follicles, thereby reducing the intake of chemotherapeutic drugs by the hair follicles. Additionally, it lowers biochemical activity, thereby reducing the sensitivity of hair follicles to chemotherapy damage, and reduces the metabolic rate of the hair follicles, thus protecting the patient's hair follicles and preventing or mitigating hair loss caused by chemotherapy. Notably, the cooling part includes a gel-like coolant, which contains a moisture moderator and edible propylene glycol that maintains moisture and provides emulsifying and stabilizing effects, thus offering a long-lasting and stable cooling effect, enhancing the device's effectiveness in preventing hair loss.
