A face contact function includes a contact member comprising a first cutting line provided in the upper left end of the mask body to form a first fastening protrusion by an external force, a first fastening protrusion cutting line provided in the lower left end of the mask body and providing a space in which the first fastening protrusion is to be fitted so as to maintain a state that the upper end is in close contact with the lower end, a second cutting line provided in the upper right end of the mask body to form a second fastening protrusion by an external force, and a second fastening protrusion cutting line provided in the lower right end of the mask body and providing a space in which the second fastening protrusion is to be fitted.

The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods of killing cells in vitro or in vivo. In particular examples, the method includes contacting a cell having a cell surface protein with a therapeutically effective amount of an antibody-IR700 molecule, wherein the antibody specifically binds to the cell surface protein. In particular examples the antibody recognizes a tumor-specific antigen on the surface of a tumor cell. The cell is subsequently irradiated, such as at a wavelength of 660 to 740 nm at a dose of at least 1 J cm.sup.−2, thereby killing the cell. Also provided are wearable devices that include an article of clothing, jewelry, or covering; and an NIR LED incorporated into the article, which can be used with the disclosed methods.

This patent application describes a weighted, easily sanitized, pediatric dental garment that both shields children from biological fluids and helps them remain still during dental procedures. The garment is shaped like a traditional dental apron. Multiple layers comprise the garment; the outermost layers are made from vinyl or some other easily sanitized material. These layers are quilted into a plurality of cells. Each cell holds weighted disks or beads, which simulate a calming embrace. The garment also features a strap, straps, or pockets across the back, which the patient may hold and pull with varying degrees of force during the dental procedure to provide a stress outlet. These features help the patient to remain still and calm during the dental procedure.

A pair of tights specially designed for the wearer to self-adjust the waist for fit, adjust compression, adjust for waist training, adjust lower abdominal support, and adjust lower lumbar back support. The localized compression effect is configured and adjusted by a textile piece attached at the left side area of the back waistband that can cross the front of the abdomen to the left and a textile piece attached at the right-side area of the back waistband that can cross the front of the abdomen to the right. The two textile pieces that cross the body are anchored from the opposite side areas of the waistband creating a compression and opposite horizontal pull across the back and can be adjusted to attach across the front of the body. The configuration of the waistband and adjustable textile pieces allows a wearer to self-adjust the fit.

An article of clothing with magnets. The article of clothing with magnets is at least one material configured to receive a body part of a user, as well as at least one magnet disposed on the material. In various embodiments, the at least one magnet can be comprised of magnetic discs or magnetic strips. The article of clothing can cover the entire body, or various parts of an individual's body. In another embodiment, the at least one magnet is disposed on the inner layer such that it is in contact with a wearer's skin. In various embodiments, the at least one magnet is disposed at a plurality of meridian lines, a plurality of pressure points, a plurality of muscle groupings, a plurality of acupuncture points, or combinations thereof.

A wearable article is provided that includes embedded fidget elements that may be manipulated by the wearer. The fidget elements can be discreetly incorporated into various locations on the wearable article such as at hemlines, pockets, and other areas accessible to the wearer of the article of clothing. Incorporating fidget elements into a wearable article reduces distractions caused by using fidget elements while also maintaining benefits such as comfort, focus, concentration, reduced stress and entertainment that fidget elements provide to the user. The type and locations of the fidget elements on a wearable article may be customized to the needs and desires of the wearer of the clothing article, as are the properties of the fidget elements themselves.
