There are hot, too warm nights in summer when it is difficult to sleep and all you dream about is some coolness. Some people solve this problem using an air conditioner or a fan, other sleep on the balcony, the rest just bear the heat. The solution was found in Japan: Kobayashi Pharmaceutical company suggested a mattress which is a radiator. Its goal is to save the body from overheating and its price is much lower than the price of air conditioners. The mattress of 228 x 177 inches...

Uncomfortable shoes are one of the major causes of foot blisters, the big toe distortions and further deformation of other toes, ingrown nails, feet injuries, etc. Shoes with high heels are better to be put on only when it is required by the case. Walk more; do not stay in the same position for a long time. Put on comfortable slippers when you are at home, provide your feet with a rest. If your profession is such that you have to work in the standing position, after coming home lie...

I wish I had some kind of gel or hair spray that made my hair waterproof. This way I wouldn't need an umbrella or hat in rain or snow. It would be really great to have such a spray for outdoor winter work or recreation like hiking or skiing.

I wish I had some kind of an insulin doser inserted in my leg. The doser would check constantly my blood and deliver the right amount of insulin when needed. I would be able to recharge the doser with an injection to it. Such a device can definitely be used for almost any medicament.

How about a lotion that blocks cold temperatures from hitting our skin? You rub on the lotion and it keeps you warm :). The lotion will be of great help for people living in very cold climates. One could take it while hiking in the mountains or swimming in cold water without a wet suit. It can be also useful in emergency situations like when the power goes out in the winter and you cannot heat your house.

The idea to combine an office chair with an exercise chair is great. This is a good way for people who spend eight hours or more sitting at a desk or workstation to keep trim by exercising during the day. The chair is easy to be used... The user sits back on a stripped bungee seating system that can mold itself to the shape and size of the individual for a comfortably ergonomic fit. There are various handles and straps below the chair, which allow the user to undertake 16 core...

I want to create a new drug which may more effectively control chronic pain caused by nerve injuries. The drug will target specific parts of the brain and spinal cord associated with pain perception and block an enzyme known as type 1 adenylate cyclase (aka AC1), which is produced during nerve injury. Additionally, the drug is supposed to have a required dose at least 10-50 times lower than other drugs in the market.

Utilizing the body's own defense system may lead to less harmful ways of treating melanoma and other cancers. There is the study that involves a process known as adoptive t-cell therapy, in which immune cells are primed to seek out and kill cancer cells in the body. The results of the study are optimistic- out of nine patients, the cancer in four of them was rendered stable, and in one patient the disease disappeared, and has not returned even two years later. The method is...

Why not create an 'intelligent bed' able to help prevent bedsores on bedridden patients by imitating the movements of a healthy person during sleep? The bed will keep track of the patient's movements as they sleep, monitoring whether they stay in one position too long. When the bed determines that the patient should change position, a special mattress made of 'smart materials' on a joint-less, flexible slatted frame will be able to gently move them, without the delay often caused...

Genetically engineered spider's silk may be the next step toward creating artificial skin for patients requiring skin grafts, such as burn victims. Spider dragline silk is incredibly strong, much stronger than the collagen conventionally used to create artificial skin. By weaving the silk fibers of golden orb web spiders onto a steel frame it is possible to create a mesh scaffold on which human skin cells can thrive.
