Fluid stimulation methods and devices for treating fluid overload
Methods for treating fluid overload in a subject comprise shifting fluids directly and non-invasively from an interstitial compartment of the subject to skin of the subject through controlled local sweating. Methods of the invention allow for removal of excess fluid from the interstitial compartment of the subject and treat fluid overload in the subject. Sweat stimulation systems comprise a chamber and first and second relative humidity sensors. The chamber is sized to fit around a body part of a subject, comprises an inlet and an outlet, and is configured such that air flows through the chamber from the inlet to the outlet. The first relative humidity sensor is operably located inside the inlet, and the second relative humidity sensor is operably located proximate the outlet.

SYSTEMS AND APPARATUS FOR APPLYING GAS AND PRESSURE THERAPIES
Apparatus, methods, and systems are provided for applying, or use with, a multibaric treatment protocol to a human limb. The apparatus may comprise a bag formed to surround at least a portion of the limb; a connection arrangement mounted to a wall of the bag in a distal portion of the bag, effective to enable therethrough a flow of a gas between the pressure-regulating device and an interior space of the bag; and a gas-permeable strip affixed to or integral with an interior surface of the bag.
Systems and methods for topical application of molecular hydrogen
A hydrogen-delivering system for topical application of molecular hydrogen is provided. The system includes a housing that comprises at least one dry chemical and a liquid composition sealed therein, and that is configured to be attached to a target area of a subject's skin. The dry chemical and the aqueous composition are separated within the housing until the system is activated and the dry chemical and the aqueous composition are mixed to generate molecular hydrogen. The molecular hydrogen passes through a skin-facing surface of the housing, which is permeable to hydrogen and not permeable to the dry chemical and the aqueous composition, and is delivered to the subject's body.
Medical treatment system and method of use
A medical treatment system including a treatment chamber, a source of an aqueous mist containing a medication, a source of an oxygen-enriched gas, and a control system adapted to alternately surround a human body part with a mist containing a medication and the oxygen enriched gas, which can be used to treat various skin disorders including infected lesions, bacterial infections such as acne (i.e. Propionibacterium acnes), fungal infections such as Athelete's foot (i.e. fungal genus Trichophyton), conditions associated with hair loss including alopecia as well as ulcerations and frostbite resulting from poor circulation. A method of treating skin disorders is also disclosed, that includes providing a mist containing a medication and enriched oxygen gas to the site being treated as well as providing oxygen to the patient during treatment.
