1:30 am
a cross or emphasizing the award winning offer is available worldwide. every language level reading gentleman has chosen to go around the world, carl least are dying. mass bleaching events are growing ever more common driven by a record breaking each end forming ocean. if the planet warms by 1.5 degrees celsius, between 70 and 90 percent of re globally could di researchers. oh no rushing to map and inventory, the world's remaining corals. all that and more coming up on this edition of this sewing and show on dw, welcome to tomorrow. today the quarterly
1:31 am
based off the coast, due to booty in east africa, are famous for their beauty. but the unusually warm oceans of last summer had left behind patches of bleached stress. coral monitoring. those changes on a large scale isn't easy. but these researchers from the technical university and loads on switzerland want to change that. they've mounted ordinary underwater cameras on to a metal frame, which they bring with them on their dice. a reference rope and gps data will help the software program create a location map of the images. later in the lab, we meet the research team back and loves on a software program, analyzes their video material and turns it into a 3 d model. it also records the different types of corals and what condition they're in. so current carl monitoring cookies based on the method, so they're fairly labor intensive, then they're called for the budget. so we put
1:32 am
a square on the, on the corolla, end of the sketch, express to look at the pictures and thanks to this and methodology, we can now cut off and make a cover fee of the reef of hundreds of meters in uh, of sides, which was not possible before, just using cameras to the very simple other scientists around the world are also trying to monitor coral reef. but so far they've only been able to monitor smaller areas or unless detail gotten caught. you mean we're using a i to automatically identify carl's and carl species, and that allows us to quantify the areas where there are carlos and follow them over time and document the changes that are happening. don't you know, i think to, to design conservation strategist did that reflective decision makers. and the facts and dislikes need to be based on data and evidence that we can bring with this mythology. but they have a lot of work ahead of time. the team year to beauty are collaborating with
1:33 am
neighboring countries to set up an international monitoring network. scientists from florida and southeast asia are also interested in this new monitoring method to stay healthy. carl reeves depend on sea urchins which feed on algae that deplete oxygen. but in many oceans, despite the creatures are under threat from a deadly disease, along with their importance, the coral sea urchins are also vital to medical research. they've been used to study the mechanisms of cell division. in 2001, 3 scientists from britain and the u. s one to nobel prize for such discoveries, other marine preachers are also helping revolutionize medicine to make some very special miracle worms. low tide at 10 in the evening is the perfect time to hunt for a humble creature that could help revolutionize medicine. already call them
1:34 am
a renown, commonly known as the lug where it's an ancient species. hundreds of millions of years old, about as big as a finger and 40 centimeters long. mostly they're used as fish. great. the. but there are people who desperately need a substance. this marine warm could provide. it's a substance that carries live, keeping oxygen to the organs that needed a form of hemoglobin that's dissolved in the blood the for the last 20 years. well, waiting for something new, fun things i may improve according to you of the organs, and we didn't get anything, you know. so it's really huge at the beginning. every book, people think that while you going to talk about marine biology, we're and we're on the we are, we are a doctor. any going to to talking about war?
1:35 am
i mean, the hospital that was 25 years ago from thomas was studying animals that live in extreme environments and noticed something remarkable. i, i know is that it was a woman's, a beach cut off and you called, i'm not, you know, and this one was very interesting for me just to try to understand where i'm can breeze during low tide and i tied. so it was at the beginning just hold on with our research just maureen, biology question. and one i work on this question and iphones, that's a world stop to bruce some between the low tide. it was just bracing when he was on those who what they're like, fish, lug rooms, have gills and breathes under water, but they don't suffocate when the tide goes out. instead, they can survive for up to 6 hours without breathing. so i feel to my attention on the score, and i found this very special marker which has nothing to do on the red blood cell, which is don't type of blood typing,
1:36 am
which is very similar. also the sink to our was a, it's via from human tongue. so had discovered an extraordinary oxygen storage system. convinced that harnessing this love were him him a globe and could transform medicine. he left his position as a university researcher and launched his own company, marina. it was it like a really adventure to, to arrive, to date that so we can use these products for a full human use today. use biotech company as more than 40 employees, the substance they extract from leg when blood contains the supercharged human globe and protein. a single small bottle can replace an entire backup donated blood at the university hospital in the city of the west in western friends, jani klemmer specializes in kidney transplants. he's helping tests the effectiveness of this special love, warm he mcgue logan. this product is very important because it can deliver within
1:37 am
the tissue oxygen. and of course one of the 1st example is organ transplantation because we know that during the procedure of transportation, the over guns 0 guns you know, need oxygen. and then when you take canal gone from a efficient and before the trolls foundations, you have to preserve the oregon within a preservation solution. and today these preserver, swing solution are without oxygen a tour. so the rings disappear. you and these very critical patio and of course salvation the, the, the oregon. it may a prison some what we call it, excuse me, with diffusion injuries. but that is to say that the or gotten, we suffer from the lack of oxygen. so this product of course, is, is a great multitude you know,
1:38 am
and then cut that can get either oxygen directly to the, to the own gun. and in fact, we prove that the motor too was safe, but also ins. we add really some debt. does that prove that works? organ transplants are just one possible application in theory, the warm derived human globe and could be used wherever tissues in the body are starved of oxygen. lisa and amazing shows how it could work. human human globe and inside red blood cells getting hold for oxygen molecules at a time lug where mima, globin is dissolved in the blood and can transport almost 40 times as much oxygen the leg wherever human globin is, also much smaller than human red blood cells. so it can transport oxygen even when the blood vessels are narrowed or blocked. that could be helpful in treating strokes. it's already been successfully tested in kidney transplants. you know,
1:39 am
we can imagine a ben shaw citation jerseys auction guy, and you can see it's just coming from the buzz, the can the motor. what is that week, or we're having such a new decision carrier. we new object don't station to say ok, look one the to using as a blood substantial. but uh, i mean uh, even if the existing unit is only 16 in, in, in 12 o'clock it's, it's, it's in here which seems huge. i think he makes a huge nobility. it's very important from the sand to the operating room, the or rainy cold. the marina might hold the key to a medical revolution every year, more than 100000 people around the world receive them like saving organ transplants . but they're still a serious shortage of donor organs. in germany, some 8500 seriously young people are waiting for that gift of life.
1:40 am
this is what the lead of all it looked like. not all too long ago, though she was 19 months pregnant in her own words, her liver was failing, and fluid was collecting inhabitants. 15 years ago, had the titus had caused her own liver to fail have. she received a transplant, but eventually the donor liver also began to fail these days. she has to go to the university hospital in cuba once a week to have that fluid drain to come to you. i know its meaning that if you need to be living quarters to definitely affects your quality of life. you're not really part of things anymore. bombing html, if you're against them, you can't do things. most people do. i'm just confused because you're the actual i feel like i'm slowly losing touch with the rest of the world. thank you. i'm booked here and that's uh, heavier for i'm what i've already been lucky once and received
1:41 am
a donor organ. i don't know if i'll do that fortunate again. what is it? i hope i will be because i'm not really done with living. but of course i think about what will happen if i don't get one thing. i'll sort of a novel disability years of waiting for a donor live or have left their mark time for a bit of strength training and those funding. so there's no a good squeeze with your other hand of just talking elidah violet isn't ready to give up with our fluid back until she's come to the university hospital to speak to some high school students about organ donation. let's keep the mucus card mentioned . it's a way to help people, because at that point you don't need your organs yourself anymore. on his meal one, come on, i mentioned have many people don't realize that organ donations are a gift of life. the students here have never met anyone who is waiting for transplant as fish on toy. if it would be great if this were over in a good way, of course we'll get to them. then are there any questions? those at this point,
1:42 am
she didn't know that just 9 days later she'd be receiving that all important phone call. a donor, oregon had been found. it was an emotional moment for her. so if you mind kindergarten, i pictured my children crying. that was awful. i do, for me, the situation was simple. i was exhausted. i was glad to have a decision to make because i just couldn't go on anymore. but i was worried about what my children might have to deal with on scotch. the 2nd transplant went without a hitch. she spent a week in the hospital and now comes back for weekly check it. she doesn't know who gave her that 2nd gift of life. that information is confidential. good morning morning. how's it going? great, i'm doing great. the swelling has gone down in ultra sound, shows how the new liver is working. lead of us will have to take medication for the rest of her life to suppress her immune system. otherwise,
1:43 am
her body will reject the donor, oregon. that might, it's easy to use, but it needs to look on. when someone regains their quality of life, you'll see how amazing a transplant can be. i wish more people couldn't benefit from this, or it's in therapy that can give the gift of life quality of life. and mrs. valez is a great example of that teaching and all values. instead, this device time to celebrate with her 2 children and their partners. do you have 3 birthdays in your, you know, and lots of presents. elidah valez had already decided against a living donor transplant like from one of her children. because she didn't want to put their health, that was the 2nd transplant, was their last chance. the biggest interest i feel fabulous. and i that's really the only way to describe it. it's hard to express how happy i am and how great i feel. lucas has been on the course me gauge today, she can go for
1:44 am
a walk without the thought of death on the back of her mind. she's grateful to the donor who gave her another chance that life. and she's made a lot of plans for the future, leaving light to close this, looking to be my plan to make the most all life and the future. and if leaving, i'm determined to start over. i do. i don't want to keep living the way i did before, because none of these i want to embark on a new life without i'm far noise leading begin for now. she's decided to start looking for her dream home. and to finally do a bit of traveling again, embracing new experiences can be part of what makes us happy. find roy gland also plays a role because it helps regulate your body's hormonal balance. if you're feeling tired, depressed, or unmotivated and underactive, thyroid could be part of the problem. or if you were to close on
1:45 am
a from afghanistan, had a question about that. what happens if you haven't underactive thyroid gland? that's 1st check out what a firewood gland looks like. it's shaped like a butterfly and has to moves along with the storing iodine. it also produces hormones like fi. roxanne sinusoid hormones help control many processes in your body, including growth in children metabolism and regulating heat conservation and heat loss in your cells. thyroid hormones can dial lead to blood vessels, affect your blood pressure and even make your heart beat faster. they help prevent bone loss called osteoporosis. thyroid hormones also play an important role in kidney god and liver function. so the thyroid gland is a hard worker and decide where a disease can cause all sorts of problems. and underactive,
1:46 am
thyroid is generally caused by an infection. you dine deficiency can also we can the firewood as a result, it doesn't produce enough firewood hormones. their production is regulated by a hormone produced by the pituitary gland in the brain. if the thyroid gland is weakened, the pituitary gland tries to signal it to maintain normal thyroid hormone levels. but that only works to a point individually. the pituitary gland can no longer compensate. the a blood test can show whether you have an underactive, thyroid gland. certain medications can help treat in underactive cy, right? but they have to be taken every day to protect your thyroid gland. it's
1:47 am
a good idea to make sure you have enough time in your diet. iodized salt can help and so can dairy products, as well as cheap from such a salmon. if you start gaining weight, even though you're not eating more than usual, if you're constantly tired and fuel cold easily, your thyroid gland might be to blame. ready it might not be producing enough of those crucial hormones. let us read why you have a science question, then send it to us as a video, text or voice message. if we answer it on the show, we'll send you a little surprise. it's a thank you to come on. just ask more than a quarter of people in germany have foreign roots, a migration background. many of them feel they're not treated as well by doctors and in the hospital. racial bias can be
1:48 am
a problem and diagnosis to medical textbooks almost exclusively feature. why people so does medicine have a race problem? the missed diagnosis rate was higher when it came to doc has been told of patients . so not so with race. white people is still the reference point in medicine even today, and this has consequences in clinical practice in an emergency, you can see that a patients lips may have 10 blue redness or a rush can be assign of inflammation. these parameters can be hard to, to detect, and people with black skin when i'm in the emergency room and i can only look for things or a symptoms that i was taught, the consequences put could potentially be that i missed diagnose something that i, i'm the diagnose some things that means that i probably don't end up making the
1:49 am
right decisions when it comes to treatment. doctor. so notion crew wants to change that field of expertise, skin of color, metrology. when we look at our textbooks that i learned from them, you do see a presentation off lighter skin tone. the doctor works at the shirts. a hospital in berlin, just like highlights the hooley. he has loan being an advocate against racism and mets, and if you look on the media or, or the even the activities in social media. but even in the print major, that it's very frequent cheers that they used to deal with typing materials. and this was even with this, with adding to fiction to cease diseases such as monkey pokes are often shown on black skin. even in 2022. when the virus broke out worldwide, especially in europe,
1:50 am
in the us, affecting many white people. the virus is called monkey pulse because it was 1st discovered in a lap monkey in denmark. it can spread to humans as even most it's just like the corona virus. however, it's not monkeys, but shrews and rodents that is said to be the who's to animals. and in fact, other creatures and humans. even though the virus originates from west and central africa, it is long since spread world wide. many white people in europe in the us also felt ill, but the media shows almost exclusively photos of black people. according to the world health organization, the wood monkey pulse can be seen as racist and stigmatizing, especially among white people. it seems to produce stereotypical images that equate monkeys pokes in africa. the fact that only others are affected by the disease in the eyes of white people is
1:51 am
a phenomenon known as other ring in research. the w h o now recommends the abbreviation and pox. as we have not to under estimate the power of visibility because many of the things we learn are unconscious and based on pictures and visibility pallet severely has gained a lot of experience at the clinic. he says when patients don't understand jim and this often leads to misunderstandings and discrimination. and there's often a lack of training translators, the results to little information, incorrect treatment as if it didn't matter if the patients don't understand exactly what it's all about. i was even invited in many cases, to go to translations. i can speak very weak, more look, that's not the rhetoric. but i was invited to patients coming from iran
1:52 am
coming from i've got this done for breakfast because they believe i can speak all the foreign languages. and this something, what i mean desk is a part of it and says to chanel or organization or rest isn't our discrimination because you notice and you accept an inferior access to knowledge and this i think is enough them intelligence? if so, notion group, office information privately on social media for people of color and the clinics. she now also provides consultation. the skin of color metrology, uh, the 1st institution who does have a special space for am having patients with i'm diagnosed skin symptoms and we are really trying to do is just create a space where those people who are approaching you can come to and we would just do
1:53 am
the work up and, and the goal is to come to a proposal to come to a diagnosis. i just imagine you want to study mass, but can see all the formulas, diagrams, and graphics. people who are blind face that on a daily basis to overcome those barriers to studying math. the university of law book in germany is now working on making math education more accessible. but what is this, and what does an illustration? it's a high permeable, lloyd. oh, okay, i've never held one of these before. the people who are blind use their sense of touch to proceed complex geometric forms for years. now, if i click on has been providing support to visually impaired my students back when she started the hurdle scene huge. these are the help if you're blind. how can we work with the graphic or understand and perceive geometry or mentally visualize
1:54 am
a 3 d shadow cast by a body of rotation or the image and something flushed in 10 years ago. at the phillips university of my book in germany, a blind student asked her about adaptive learning resources for students with visual impairments. but she couldn't find anything. does it seem at the most of my to be on my student wanted to study math? so of course i'm not going to send him away. we decided to come up with something that was all graphic elements can't be depicted in braille. so she decided to get a tactile image printer. it uses an infrared lamp to heat up geometric shapes on sheets sensitive paper, creating a tac toe image that can be read with the fingertips. the image can also be placed on attack to know an interactive reader for people who are blind or visually impaired. and relate to a database which is supplied with information from the university lecture that allows line students to understand what the graphics are representing the piece.
1:55 am
and when you put your finger on a specific point, it reads the information linked to it because a lot of people who are blind and people who are cited collaborate on the project. it's taken off and meanwhile, get support from industry foundations. we have one and we want to create a portal, a database that contains all of our materials so that it can also be used at adapted by other universities to disclose, to income over time, they'll be importing and adapting important math textbooks so that they can be used by blowing students, it can be hard work, but it's exciting to try every problem. there's a solution, you just have to look for it and to take it step by step if somebody. and once it's in time for a quick break, they're close that team working on a project that matters to all of them.
1:56 am
that's all we have time for now, but thanks for joining us and hope to see you again soon on tomorrow, today by the the,
1:57 am
the green is hope safe. the world with allergy out, you know, because aiken waste materials and waste to extract nature with very light. i can also produce oxygen goals. i can find the c o 2 we exile, create to oxygen to the same time. coming up on d, w in good shape. the brains of green matter is super important.
1:58 am
it please am, need your role and how we develop our memory and learn. so how do we keep free matters in tip top shape, tip trip and insights to make learning easier in good shape? being the best email is d w. the discovery stories. hi irish. and i'm ready to dive into the hands of human to do you, have you have a one the need before you go to the spots and unexpected side supplies in
