A method of performing a surgical procedure comprises inserting a medical instrument into anatomy of a patient to reach target tissue within an anatomical cavity, disinfecting anatomy within the patient with the medical instrument and performing treatment of the target tissue with the medical instrument. A medical device for providing disinfecting to a surgical site, the medical device comprises an elongate shaft extending from a proximal end to a distal end, an imaging device located proximate the distal end of the elongate shaft, a lighting element located proximate the distal end of the elongate shaft, a working channel extending at least partially through the elongate shaft and a disinfecting system attached to the elongate shaft to deliver a disinfecting capability proximate the distal end of the elongate shaft.

An antimicrobial light dressing device, system and method for a percutaneous treatment that bathes a treatment region around the percutaneous insertion with an antibacterial illumination source for preventing pathogens around the insertion from entering via the dermal puncture created by the insertion. The antimicrobial light dressing device combines a circumferential body centered around the insertion, and an arrangement of LEDs around the body that focus the light around the insertion and onto a therapeutic region of the insertion. An opening in the circumferential body has an articulated protrusion for offsetting a medicinal vessel such as an IV tube off the skin surface to avoid blocking light to an area under the vessel.

A blood pressure lowering training device comprises a head frame unit corresponding to a user's head shape, an audio stimulation unit for broadcasting binaural beats with frequency following response to both ears of the user, a display unit including a display module for displaying a virtual image and blood pressure information and a blood pressure measurement module for measuring blood pressure, and a control unit electrically connected with the audio stimulation unit and the display unit, so that the hypertensive patient can perform a variety of adjustable blood pressure lowering training in one use process, and effectively improve the use intention of the hypertensive patient.

The present invention provides systems, methods, and articles for stress reduction and sleep promotion. A stress reduction and sleep promotion system includes at least one remote device, at least one body sensor, and at least one remote server. In other embodiments, the stress reduction and sleep promotion system includes machine learning.

A phototherapy or BRT process and apparatus is provided, which, using a pre-recorded bioresonance frequency or compilation of frequencies, causes an EMR emitter to emit within a biological window of a target organism to positively or negatively affect the organism. The EMR may be generated in one or more LEDs by a device connected to a controller of the EMR emitter which device provides the pre-recorded bioresonance frequency or compilation of frequencies to control the LEDs' emitted light in terms of its intensity and/or a frequency or flicker-rate.

A drug delivery system for injecting a medicament includes a housing defining a cavity, a container received within the cavity and configured to receive a medicament, the container comprising a stopper configured to move within the container and a closure, a drive assembly received within the cavity and configured to drive the stopper within the container, a needle actuator assembly received within the cavity and comprising a needle configured to be placed in fluid communication with the container, the needle moveable from a first position and a second position spaced from the first position, and a sterilizer received within the cavity and configured to sterilize at least one of the container, the drive assembly, and the needle actuator assembly upon activation of the drug delivery system.

The present disclosure describes a manual or automated face plunge comprising a water reservoir, and optionally a chilling apparatus comprising one or more thermoelectric coolers to chill the water, and a controller to electronically control the chilling apparatus. The disclosure further describes methods for chilling the face, triggering the central nervous system, promoting human health, promoting human beauty, and promoting aesthetic benefits to a human in need thereof, comprising immersing the face of the person in the face plunge in accordance to various immersion regimens. In various aspects, the face plunge comprises ice-cold water for the facial immersions.

A system for facilitating stress-adaptive virtual experience station includes a virtual display system and camera system coupled to a kinematic rig. An array of transducers coupled to the station interact with a user based on a feedback signal, configured for user health treatments, audio effects, or computational imaging techniques.

A fluid preconditioning apparatus used to pretreat fluids for an air disbursement machine. A first portion includes a first outlet for a treated gas, a second outlet for a treated liquid, a third outlet for a hose and a cover. A second portion includes a first inlet to receive a gas, a second inlet to receive liquid, a gas treatment chamber, a gas flow generator for moving the gas from the first inlet through the gas treatment chamber and the first outlet. The second portion also includes a liquid treatment chamber that connects to the second inlet, and a liquid flow generator for moving the liquid from the second inlet through the liquid treatment chamber and the second outlet. The gas treatment chamber treats gas by filtering and disinfecting the gas and the liquid treatment chamber creates the treated liquid by filtering and disinfecting the liquid.

A method for prophylaxis or treatment of a graft's rejection of a recipient, driven and adjusted by a microprocessor-based controller. Provided is a fluid circuit comprising a first container configured to receive a transplant component and a second container configured to receive an apoptotic component. Provided is a separator configured to associate with the fluid circuit and separate whole blood into a red blood cell component, a plasma component, and a white blood cell component. Whole blood is directed into the fluid circuit and the separator. The whole blood is separated into the red blood cell component, the plasma component, and the white blood cell component. A first portion comprising the transplant component of the white blood cell component is directed to the first container. A second portion of the white blood cell component is directed to the second container and the second portion is rendered apoptotic.
