Combined therapy of acute respiratory viral infections, including coronavirus infection, using a specialized mattress in the background

Background: Acute respiratory viruses are associated with lower respiratory tract diseases, providing an essential load on the public health system worldwide. Acute respiratory tract infections can be caused by many different viruses, and no approved vaccines or medicines exist for most of them. New approaches to respiratory infection treatment complement the molecular methods by focusing on improving the quality of daily life stages. One of the most important stages is sleep, which is associated with the overall organism restoration and, therefore, is critical to the recovery efficacy. We consider a specialized mattress with a bioactive vicuna cover as a facility improving the sleep quality and estimate its influence on the respiratory infection dynamics for patients under treatment by conventional medication.Methods: Data from 24 patients with the acute respiratory viral infection were collected in the 5 day period, during which they were treated with conventional medication and were sleeping either on the specialized mattresses or on regular mattresses. The patients were split into four groups depending on the mattress type and information that they had about that type, under the double-blind experiment setup. The data comprised the dynamics of several symptoms of the disease, including fever, headache, cough, mucosal hyperemia, and others.Results: Patients with the acute respiratory viral infection demonstrated faster recovery under conditions of sleeping on the specialized mattresses, as compared to the patients who were sleeping on regular mattresses. This difference in the recovery rate was observed for all considered symptoms of the disease, with the largest difference exhibited by nasal congestion (33% difference in the rate between the specialized and regular mattress groups), cough (25%), and rheum (25%). The control for the placebo effect did not reveal its essential influence for most symptoms.Conclusions: The specialized mattresses with the bioactive vicuna cover can effectively be used by patients with the acute respiratory viral infection in addition to conventional tools and medicine. Sleeping on these mattresses alleviate the dynamical state of patients with the disease and facilitates in relieving patients of the symptoms

The sleep quality of patients with insomnia under the influence of subtle energy fields

Background: The article evaluates the current state of insomnia treatment for patients without neurological, psychiatric, and somatic disorders. An important goal consists in developing non-drug therapies for insomnia, possessing no side effects. Following this research direction, we put a special emphasis on non-medicamental methods for correction of sleep disturbance in persons with psychophysiological insomnia.Methods: Authors propose a method of insomnia treatment in which patients sleep on the specialized Bio Velocity mattresses (the ‘activated mattress’ therapy). The conditions of patients before and after the treatment are assessed by clinical, psychophysiological, electroencephalographic methods, and by the Voll method, which studies the meridians of organs and systems, including the nervous system.Results: We show the effectiveness of the therapy by demonstrating improving psychological indicators, EEG data, and the Voll diagnostics data in a group of patients.Conclusions: The activated Bio Velocity mattresses can effectively be used by patients with the sleep disorders in addition to and, partially, as a replacement of conventional tools and medicine.

Breast state improvement by using the lymphatic drainage disposable bra pads

Background: The health and good esthetic conditions of the breast are important indicators of women’s life quality. One factor that negatively affects this quality is the breast ptosis, associated with the sagging of the mammary glands due to tissue stretching and the loss of tissue and skin elasticity. New tools and methods able to improve the shape and beautiful contour of the breast are highly desirable.Methods: We investigated how the disposable bra pads by BAE International Inc., having the lymphatic drainage effect for the breast, influenced the female breast state. We applied two methods, the ultrasound elasticity imaging and the pattern recognition of the nipples position, to monitor the breast state dynamics in two groups of females, the study and control ones.Results: Preliminary results showed that both the breast elasticity and the pattern of nipple positions improved for females wearing the bra pads as compared to females wearing regular bras without pads (P<0.05 for the difference between the two groups of females).Conclusions: Overall, the bra pads by BAE can be considered as an effective tool encouraging metabolism by improving the flow of blood circulation and lymph in the breast
