The invention is a method consisting of stimulation of specific new acupuncture points to prevent, detect, treat and heal specific types of neoplastic process in humans. The specific acupuncture points used in the method of the invention have not been previously disclosed for the treatment of neoplastic processes. The treatments can be carried out by accredited practitioners in a clinical setting or by the patient her/himself at home. The stimulation can be provided by any of the known techniques used for stimulation of controlling points, including, but not limited to, traditional acupuncture needles, auto-injector needles, electric acupuncture, acupressure, lasers, acupuncture lasers, UV radiation, infra-red radiation, heat, magnets, moxibustion, and a combination of two or more of these techniques, for example, the use of both needles and laser acupuncture simultaneously in a single treatment session. The method of the invention is also used for detection and prevention of neoplastic process.

A patient positioning device includes a planar sheet having removably connected padded substrates attached proximal to the patient's arms. The padded substrates are wrapped around the patient's respective arms to protect and elevate the arms from the underlying table or gurney. Leggings are also provided to protect the patient's legs. The padded substrates include splits to allow wires and cables to pass through without getting tangled. A secondary sheet is attachable to the device to cocoon the patient when the patient is rolled over. A shoulder strap is provided under the patients shoulders, wrapping around and over the shoulders at the trapezius and at the shoulder cuff and is secured to the padded substrates for additional protection and security. The device has a low friction bottom surface to ease transfer and positioning.

A medical hand and arm protection apparatus including a protective shell capable of receiving a patient's hand and arm. Connected to the protective shell is an attachment device to anchor the hand and arm protector in place, such as a clamp, slip cover or strap. The protective shell also has one or more flaps that allow the medical professional access to the interior of the protective shell to view the patient's IV sites and other medical equipment attached to the patient's hand or arm while the protective shell is anchored in place.

A medical support structure is disclosed, which comprising a framework having a main axis and comprising at least one supporting member and a plurality of leg members, and a top surface locatable atop the framework and adapted to support one or more refuse containers each having an aperture and a bottom portion. The supporting member is locatable intermediate the top surface and a lower portion of the plurality of leg members, and is adapted to support at least one medical waste container having an aperture and a bottom portion. At least a first longitudinal portion of the supporting member forms an obtuse angle relative to a second longitudinal portion of the supporting member so as to angle the or each medical waste containers in a position in which its aperture is higher than its bottom portion but not orthogonal to the top surface.

A hand cover includes a protective housing secured to an adjustment mechanism. The protective housing inhibits contact between the hand and the external environment. The adjustment mechanism secures the hand cover to the user. An optional upper access aperture provides air circulation and access to the hand. An optional lateral access aperture also provides access to the hand. An optional positioning mechanism helps maintain the hand cover in place. Attachment anchors for restraints or exercise bands may be provided and devices for orienting and securing IV lines may be provided.

A medical hand and arm protection apparatus and method of protection including a protective shell which is capable of receiving a patient's hand and arm. A sheet is attached to the protective shell, which is tucked under the patient to anchor the hand and arm protector in place. The protective shell also has one or more perforations that allow the medical professional access to the interior of the surgical arm protector to view the patient's IV sites and other medical equipment attached to the patient's hand or arm.
