Systems, devices, and methods for delivery of a topical substance, including medicaments and/or cosmetic formulas, with carbon dioxide to the surface of the skin. The systems regulate the pH, temperature and viscosity of the topical substance, which provides benefits to the treatment of the skin. For beauty treatments, the systems lessen wrinkles of the skin and hydrate at the same time. For medicaments with active ingredients, the systems enhance delivery and ionic state using pH adjustment. The systems include devices that contain a reservoir of carbon dioxide, which flows through a heat control path where the temperature of the carbon dioxide is adjusted to a desired setting. The temperature-controlled carbon dioxide then mixes with the topical substance in a chamber, which is pressed against or applied to the skin to achieve the benefits.

An improved face mask with a temperature monitored resilient, flexible face barrier to limit the face, eyes, lips, and oral tissues of the mouth of the user from direct exposure to heated air from the mask above threshold temperatures. The improved face mask and heat source conditions air drawn into the face mask before it is actually breathed and thereby supply heated or elevated higher temperature at a therapeutic air pressure to persons in need thereof, particularly to maintain a wearer's upper respiratory system at a further elevated high temperature, capable of inactivating viruses, such as the Coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV-2 virus), killing bacteria, (TB) fungi, biofilms, tumor cells, pre-malignant cancer cells, dysplasia cells and other pathogens, and to promote an immune-stimulatory response and to prevent or inactivate a virus in the respiratory system of the wearer of the heated face mask, in both ambulatory and hospitalization settings.

The present invention relates to an apparatus that provides therapeutic effects and a source of hydration. The apparatus includes a garment that has one or more compartments for storing a therapeutic element. The therapeutic element may include one or more herbs, essential oils, and combinations thereof. The apparatus also includes a portable drinking apparatus attached to the garment. The portable drinking apparatus includes a pouch having a liquid reservoir inserted therein and a drinking tube having a first end in fluid communication with the liquid reservoir and a second end having a mouth operated valve. Methods of use are also disclosed.

A method for invasive cardiac treatment, including inserting a catheter via a transvascular route into a beating heart of a patient who is anesthetically paralyzed and intubated for ventilation, and, after inserting the catheter, temporarily halting ventilation of the patient. The method includes moving the catheter between a plurality of locations of myocardial tissue of the heart while the ventilation is halted; and ablating the myocardial tissue of the heart at the plurality of locations while the ventilation is halted.

Methods and devices related to the fields of skin care, hair restoration and lip care wherein the systems may be used by an individual for infusing treatment media into skin or lips for cosmetic and rejuvenation purposes, hair restoration purposes or other therapeutic purposes.

Systems and methods are provided for portable and compact nitric oxide (NO) generation that can be embedded into other therapeutic devices or used alone. In some embodiments, an ambulatory NO generation system can be comprised of a controller and disposable cartridge. The cartridge can contain filters and scavengers for preparing the gas used for NO generation and for scrubbing output gases prior to patient inhalation. The system can utilize an oxygen concentrator to increase nitric oxide production and compliment oxygen generator activity as an independent device. The system can also include a high voltage electrode assembly that is easily assembled and installed. Various nitric oxide delivery methods are provided, including the use of a nasal cannula.

Methods of using a common delivery system to deliver an embolization device and provide a secondary treatment. The secondary treatment may include delivering a therapeutic agent or providing a treatment using a treatment instrument. The secondary treatment may be provided downstream of the embolization device. The secondary treatment may be provided using the inner body of the delivery system, while the inner body extends through the opening of the occlusion device.

Systems and methods for nitric oxide generation are provided. In an embodiment, an NO generation system can include a controller and disposable cartridge that can provide nitric oxide to two different treatments simultaneously. The disposable cartridge has multiple purposes including preparing incoming gases for exposure to the NO generation process, scrubbing exhaust gases for unwanted materials, characterizing the patient inspiratory flow, and removing moisture from sample gases collected. Plasma generation can be done within the cartridge or within the controller. The system has the capability of calibrating NO and NO.sub.2 gas analysis sensors without the use of a calibration gas.

Disclosed is a method of controlling a respiratory assistance apparatus delivering a flow of gas, particularly a flow of air, having the steps of measuring at least one parameter indicative of the flow of gas; converting at least one parameter indicative of the flow of gas into at least one signal indicative of the flow of gas; processing at least one signal indicative of the flow of gas in order therefrom to deduce at least one item of information relating to cardiac massage being performed on a patient in cardiac arrest; on the basis of at least one deduced item of information, automatically selecting a given ventilation mode from among a number of stored ventilation modes, and controlling the respiratory assistance apparatus by applying the selected ventilation mode. Respiratory assistance apparatus capable of implementing this control method.

Disclosed is a system that includes both an Airway and Ventilation device (AV) and an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) device. The system is provided with components for assisting only minimally trained persons to operate it in emergency situations involving respiratory failure and/or cardiac arrhythmias. The system includes one or both of a mask for applying non-invasive ventilation and a ventilation tube for applying invasive ventilation.
