摘要： A method for maintaining and/or increasing body temperature of a patient may involve delivering heat to a first location on a limb of the patient, delivering heat to a second location on the limb, apart from the first location, and applying intermittent compression to a third location on the limb, located between the first location and the second location. A device for maintaining and/or increasing body temperature of a patient may include a sleeve for positioning over at least part of one of the patient's limbs, first and second heat delivery members coupled with the sleeve, and an intermittent compression member coupled with the sleeve between the first and second heat delivery members.

摘要： Systems and methods for affecting metabolism, such as the treatment of metabolic syndrome are disclosed. A method for treating metabolic syndrome can include one or more of the steps including identifying a region of the patient comprising glabrous tissue; positioning the region of the patient comprising glabrous tissue into an enclosed chamber; adjusting the relative humidity of the enclosed chamber sufficient to create a physiologic metabolic effect; and activating a convection fan within the chamber to promote heat transfer from the glabrous tissue. The method need not involve altering the temperature within the enclosed chamber.

摘要： Methods and devices for preventing a change in the core body temperature of a mammal under cold conditions are provided. In the subject methods, a requirement for thermal energy input in said mammal is first detected. In response to the detection of this requirement for thermal energy input, a surface of a portion of the mammal is contacted with a warm temperature medium under negative pressure conditions for a period of time sufficient to introduce thermal energy into the core body of the mammal. The subject devices include at least a means for detecting a requirement for thermal energy input and a means for contacting a surface of the mammal with a warm temperature medium under negative pressure conditions. The subject methods and devices find use in a variety of applications, and are particularly suited for use in maintaining the core body temperature of a mammal substantially constant under cold conditions for an extended period of time.

摘要： A method for treating wounds, comprised of the application of reduced pressure to a wound site and alteration of the temperature over said wound. A system for wound healing, comprising: a substantial impermeable drape sized to cover and enclose the wound creating a reservoir and adapted to maintain reduced pressure at the site of the wound; a sterilizable porous cooling pad incorporated into a wound sponge adapted to provide localized cooling to said wound, said cooling pad located between said wound and said cover or over the drape; a reduced pressure supply mechanism capable of providing subatmosphere pressure over said wound site.

摘要： A cold and hot pack capable of being plasticized comprises: a bag member made of an impermeable soft sealing material; plural particle-like supporters disposed in the bag member, each of the particle-like supporters is formed with at least a pore; and a fluid filled and accommodated in the pores of the particle-like supporters, and a negative pressure status is formed inside bag member, thereby enabling the particle-like supporters and the fluid to be pressed and secured by the atmospheric pressure so as to prevent sag. The present invention is able to be applied in various fields such as a cold and hot pack, a sitting pad, a water bed, an anti-bedsore mattress and a temperature keeping pack, and provides better functions and quality comparing to prior art.
