A method of treating meibomian gland dysfunction is disclosed. The method includes directing RF energy to an internal portion of a meibomian gland, selectively targeting an obstruction within a duct of the meibomian gland with the applied RF energy to melt, loosen, or soften the obstruction, and expressing the obstruction from the duct of the meibomian gland. An apparatus for treating meibomian gland dysfunction is also disclosed. The apparatus comprises at least one RF electrode configured to direct RF energy to an internal portion of a meibomian gland located in an eyelid of an eye, the at least one RF electrode further configured to selectively target an obstruction within a duct of the meibomian gland with the applied RF energy to melt, loosen, or soften the obstruction. The apparatus also comprises at least one expressor configured to express the obstruction from the duct of the meibomian gland.

A therapeutic burp cloth having at least one panel and at least one pocket. The therapeutic burp cloth is adapted to be worn by a caregiver while holding an infant. The pockets are adapted to receive heat pads, cold pads and therapeutic inserts for comforting the infant and the caregiver during use.

A thermal transfer device for providing thermal treatment to a patient. A patient support portion supporting and contacting the patient includes a first segment of a fluid flow path to receive a fluid from a fluid source. A flexible covering coupled and movable relative to the patient support portion defines a space therebetween that substantially conforms to the patient. The flexible covering includes a second segment of the fluid flow path. The fluid is circulated through an inlet, an outlet, and fluid flow path for supplying heat to or removing heat from the patient support portion and the flexible covering. A fluid circulation system with a controller may selectively adjust heat transfer from temperature zones defining the patient support portion. The thermal transfer device or a mattress cover may provide for controlling the microclimate, or conditions at or near the interface between the patient and the patient support portion.

Disclosed herein are targeted temperature management (“TTM”) systems, pads, and methods thereof for treating burn wounds. A method of a system for TTM can include a pad-connecting step, a pad-placing step, and a fluid-circulating step. The pad-connecting step can include connecting an inlet and an outlet of a pad to a hydraulic system of a control module. The pad can include a multilayered pad body having a conduit layer configured to convey a temperature-controlled fluid provided by the control module. The pad-placing step can include placing the pad on a wounded portion of a patient's body with a sterile, thermally conductive wound-healing layer of the pad body in contact with a burn wound of the wounded portion of the patient's body. The fluid-circulating step can include circulating the temperature-controlled fluid through the conduit layer to cool the wounded portion of the patient's body, thereby treating the wound to promote healing.

A thermal control unit controls the temperature of a fluid delivered to one or more thermal transfer devices (e.g. thermal pads) in contact with a patient. The thermal control unit generates thermal data while being used to treat the patient and is adapted to receive thermal history data previously generated by a different thermal control unit in the treatment of that patient. Both the current and previous thermal data are displayable on the thermal control unit currently being used, thereby giving the caregiver a complete picture of the thermal history of the patient. The thermal control unit may also be adapted to transmit its thermal data, as well as the thermal history data previously received from the other thermal control unit, to still another thermal control unit. The thermal history data transfer may take place via a cable, wirelessly, by a portable flash drive, or by other means.

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of heat, Momordicilin and antibiotics on Coronavirus. This study selected 12 individuals tested positive for COVID-19 which included two healthcare providers, one friend, a Massachusetts' family, and six family members in Florida including the inventor. All individuals were testing positive for COVID-19 excluding two individuals and inventor who didn't test. They had fever, mild headache, chest pain, cough and loss of appetite. All individuals were taking facial steaming(vapor) between 5-15 minutes for four consecutive days, a cup of Cerasee Tea with lime/lemon(Extracted-Momordicilin) three times a day for seven days and with or without any antibiotic as prescribed by their physicians. All patients felt relief immediately after taking the first dose of heat and Asosi Tea or antibiotic. All symptoms were gone in five days. After seven days, all individuals had no symptoms and re-tested. The results came negative for COVID-19. These results indicate that combination of heat, momordicilin and with or without antibiotic treat COVID-19.
