was every single connection mapped out shows the geopolitical reality. the on the board is what makes things the way they are mapped out, navigating a changing world. now on youtube, the around the world hall rates are dined, mass bleaching events are growing ever more common driven by a record breaking each end forming ocean. if the plan at $151.00 degrees celsius between 70 and 90 percent of research 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
11:31 pm
based off the coast attribute in east africa, or stainless for their beauty. but the unusually warm oceans of last summer had left behind patches of bleached stress, coral. the monitoring, those changes on a large scale isn't easy. but these researchers from the technical university and those 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 methods that are very labor intensive, been difficult for the budget. so we put that a square on the,
11:32 pm
on the corolla, end of the sketch, expects to look at the pictures. thanks to submit to the elegy, 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 in less detail gotten caught, you mean we're using a i to automatically identify carlos 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 at the effective decision makers. and the facts and dislikes need to be based on data and evidence that we can bring with dismissed ology, but they have a lot of work ahead of them. a team year to beauty are collaborating with
11:33 pm
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, the 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. won the nobel prize for such discoveries. other marine creatures 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. a rainy cold, the marina,
11:34 pm
commonly known as the lug where it's an ancient species, hundreds of millions of years old, about as thick as a finger and 40 centimeters long. mostly they're used as fish. great. the what, there are people who desperately need a substance. this marine warm could provide. it's a substance that carries life, giving oxygen to the organs that needed a form of hemoglobin that's dissolved in the block, the for the last 20 years. well waiting for something new, fun things i may improve the quality of the organs. and we didn't get any sinking, so it's really huge at the beginning. every book, people think that while you're going to talk about the marine biology, we're and we're on the, we are, we are a doctor any going to to talking about warming hospital. that was 25 years ago from
11:35 pm
thomas was studying animals that live in extreme environments and noticed something remarkable. i, i know is that there is a warm of the beach cut off and you called, i'm not enough. 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 i phones, that's a world stop to greece some between the low tide, it was just bracing when he was on the water like fish, lug worms 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 is not include on the red blood cell, which is don't type of blood typing, which is very simular off of the 6 or was. busy hbo from human tongue. so had
11:36 pm
discovered an extraordinary oxygen storage system. convinced that harnessing this love, where i'm humor, globin could transform medicine. he left his position as a university researcher and launched his own company. marina. it was 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 lug when blood contains the supercharged hemoglobin protein. a single small bottle can replace an entire backup donated blood the at the university hospital in the city of blessed in western friends, jani klemmer specializes in kidney transplants. he's helping tests the effectiveness of this special love, warm hemoglobin. this product is very important because he can deliver within the
11:37 pm
tissue oxygen. and of course, one of the 1st example is organ transplantation because we know about the rings of procedure of transportation. your guns, no guns, you know, need for exclusion. and then when you take canal gone from a efficient and before the transfer alterations, you have to preserve the ongoing within a preservation solution. and today these preserver, same solution are without oxygen a tour. so the rings is po and these very critical tell you and of course of action the, the, the oregon may a prison. some, what we call is kimmie group f, as in injuries. then let's just to save up vio, gun we suffer from the lack of oxygen. so this product, of course, is a great multitude, you know, then got such gun denny, the oxygen diode key to the,
11:38 pm
to the on gun it. and in fact, we prove that the motor tool was safe, but also ins. we add reality some that prove that works. organ transplants are just one possible application. in theory, the warm derived team a globe and could be used wherever tissues in the body are starved of oxygen. these tend amazing shows how it could work. human human globe and inside red blood cells getting hold for oxygen molecules at a time. lug where am humid globin is dissolved in the blood and can transport almost 40 times as much oxygen the leg were in the human globe, and there's 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.
11:39 pm
you know, we can imagine a ben shelf i petition just results in kyle and you can see is just coming from the buzz the can. the motor was such because we're having such a new decision carrier. we knew i was its own station to say ok, look one the to using as a blood substantial. but uh, i mean, even if this really good 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, it's very important from the sand to the operating room, the already called the marina might hold the key to a medical revolution every year, more than 100000 people around the world receive a life saving organ transplants. but there's still a serious shortage of donor organs in germany, some 85 high 100 seriously ill people are waiting for that gift of lights.
11:40 pm
this is what lita valez 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, hepatitis had caused her own liver to fail, however, she received the transplant, but eventually the donor liver also began to fail. these days you have 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 leaving the 20th to definitely affects your quality of life and you're not really part of things anymore. bombing the food comes from you can't do things. most people do the chips confused physically the actual i feel like i'm slowly losing touch with the rest of the world. thank you. i'm perfect and that's uh, how do you know if i'm with i've already been lucky once and received a donor, oregon. i don't know if i'll be that fortunate again. what is it?
11:41 pm
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 another spanish ears of waiting for a donor liver have left their mark time for a bit of strength training in those funds. you know, 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 oregon donations are gift of life. the students here have never met anyone who's 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, she didn't know that just 9 days later she'd be receiving the all important phone
11:42 pm
call. a donor, oregon had been found. it was an emotional moment treatment focused taking when it came to mind, 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 any more. 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, but he develops will have to take medication for the rest of her life to suppress are immune system. otherwise her body will reject the donor, oregon. that might,
11:43 pm
it's easy to use, but it tends 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 new teaching and whole bodies. instead, this device don't time to celebrate with her 2 children and their partners. do you have 3 birthdays and you're, you know, and lots of presents. the elite of alice had already decided against a living donor transplant like from one of her children. because she didn't want to put their health at risk. the 2nd transplant was their last chance. you just because i feel fabulous, and 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
11:44 pm
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 lights you to call me my plan to make the most all life and the future. and if leaving, i'm to therapy 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 microphone on for noise meetings again. 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 and regulate your body's hormonal balance. if you're feeling tired and depressed or unmotivated and underactive, thyroid could be part of the problem. or if you were to close on a from afghanistan, had
11:45 pm
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 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. a sinusoid 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 we're a disease can cause all sorts of problems. and underactive side right is
11:46 pm
generally caused by an infection. iodine deficiency can also we can decide royd. 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 a good idea to make sure you have enough iodine in your diet. iodized salt can help,
11:47 pm
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 feel cold easily, your thyroid gland might be to blame. ready it might not be producing enough of those crucial hormones. why do 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 surprised. that's a thank you to come on. just ask the 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 a problem and diagnosis to medical textbooks almost exclusively feature. why people
11:48 pm
so does medicine have a race problem? the mist diagnosis rate was higher when it came to doc has dental patients. so what's up with race? white people are 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 detect and people with black skin when i'm in the emergency room and i can only look for us things or 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
11:49 pm
right decisions when it comes to treatment. doctor f. so notion grew, wants to change that field of expertise, skin of color, metrology. when we look at our textbooks that i learn from them, you do see a presentation off lighter skin tone. the doctor works at the sherry, it's a hospital in berlin, just like college said hooley, he has long been 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 media or that it's very frequent to that, they used to deal with typing materials. and this was even with this, with any of the fiction to cease diseases such as monkey pokes are often shown on black skin. even in 2022, when the virus broke out weld wide,
11:50 pm
especially in europe in the us, affecting many white people. the virus is called monkey pulse because it was 1st discovered in the lap monkey in denmark. it can spread to humans, as even most is just like the corona virus. however, it's not monkeys, but shrews and rodents, the sites to be the host animals. and in fact, other creatures and humans. even though the virus originates from west and central africa, it has long since spread world wide. many white people in europe in the us also felt ill, but the media showed almost exclusively photos of black people. according to the world health organization, the wood monkey pox can be seen as racist and stigmatizing, especially among white people. it seems to produce stereotypical images that equate monkeys parks in africa. the fact that only others are affected by the disease in the eyes of white people is a phenomenon known as other ring in research. the w h o now recommends the
11:51 pm
abbreviation and pox. and we have no to on the estimates, 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
11:52 pm
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 organizational risk is our discrimination. because you notice and you accept an inferior access to knowledge and this i think it's enough to me, it totally just if so, new shouldn't group offers information privately on social media for people of color and up the clinics. she now also provides consultation for skin of color metrology. uh, the 1st institution who does have a special space for i'm having patients with i'm diagnosed good symptoms. and we're really trying to do is just create a space for those people who are approaching. you can come to any which is through
11:53 pm
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't 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 my book in germany is now working on making math education more accessible. but what is this, and what does an illustration, or it's a high permeable, lloyd? oh, okay, have you ever held one of these before? the people who are blind use their sense of touch to proceed complex geometric forms for years now, i clicked on has been providing support to visually impaired my students back when she started the hurdle scene. huge either have been done. if you're blind, how can we work with the graphic or understand and perceive geometry or mentally
11:54 pm
visualize that 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. missing much indiana, my student wanted to study math. so of course i'm not going to send him away. we decided to come up with something which was all graphic elements can't be depicted in braille. so she decided to get a tactile image printer. it uses an infrared lamps to heat up geometric shapes and heat 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 blind students to understand what the graphics are representing the piece.
11:55 pm
it doesn't matter 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. the use of one, 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. you may not 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 in time for a quick break there, close my team, working on a project that matters to all of them.
11:56 pm
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,
11:57 pm
a life here in cub holly around this are, it has existed for almost 600 years with a labyrinth of shop windows, mouth and color. the dive into the fascinating world is coming up on d w. i'm very slowly and i'm a visual artist living in working in johannesburg. and this is
11:58 pm
my city. the parts metropolis, you, young creative, are separating their wings here and finding freedom. we join lady's told me to find out 30 minutes on d w, the west page. i mean obviously i know i might just do it and i'm hoping dw newport faster. thanks. trace amount, but it's actually about move. join us as we travel around your, facing the history of every day of that and that's something right around the wells . and i need to talk to you back, just a subscriber id. listen to paul. gosh,
11:59 pm
then we'll take too long for the right dw 416 volts. we, in fact, every day the world crashes are your texas to work for free because we can make the difference in w all the world and also on your info is and all the input u, v. w story. now, on to the dream of resolution in 1979, the hate to dictate is the most that was forced out of nicaragua. the people hoped for sarah's society and received international solidarity. i imagined we would change the world and for 1000 collins had to help with
