9:30 pm
the the around the world call the star died. mass bleaching events are growing ever more common driven by a record breaking heat and forming ocean. if the planet warms by 1.5 degrees celsius, between 70 and 90 percent of research globally could di researchers. oh no rushing to map and inventory once remaining corals. all that and more coming up on this edition of this sewing and show on dw. welcome to tomorrow. today. the quarterly based off the coast due to booty in east africa, or stainless for their beauty. but the unusually warm oceans of last summer had
9:31 pm
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 onto 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 materials and turns it into a 3 d model. it also records the different types of corals and what condition they're in. so current car, all monitoring cookies based on the method, so they're very labor intensive then they're called for the budget. so we put that a square on the, on the corolla, end of the sketch. express to look at the pictures that thanks to submit the
9:32 pm
village you. we can now cut off and make a cover fee of the reef of hundreds of me. there's a in the 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 you haven't caught image while you're using a i to automatically identify carl's and carlos 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 their effective decision makers need 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. the team near to duty are collaborating with neighboring countries to set up an international monitoring network. scientists
9:33 pm
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 creatures are also helping revolutionize medicines and 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 called them a re not commonly known as the lug where it's an ancient
9:34 pm
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 life, giving 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 fairly new 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 talking about warming hospital. that was 25 years ago from china was studying animals that live in extreme environments and noticed something
9:35 pm
remarkable. i, i know is that there is a warm on the beach cut off and you cut out money now. 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 a beginning just hold on to our research just marine biology question. and one i work on this question and iphones, that's a world stop to bruce some between the low tide. he was just bracing when he was on the water. like fish, lug rooms have gills and breeze 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 fell to my attention on the score and i found this very special like which is nothing food on the red blood cell, which is don't type of blood typing, which is very similar all to this. victoria was. busy age via from human ha saw, had discovered an extraordinary oxygen storage system. convinced that harnessing
9:36 pm
this love were him human globe and could transform medicine. he left his position as a university researcher and launched his own company. marina. it was it like a array adventure to, to arrive, to date that so we can use this product 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 hemoglobin protein. a single small bottle can replace an entire bag of donated blood at the university hospital in the city of the west in western friends, janik, limber specializes in kidney transplants. he's helping test the effectiveness of this special love, warm hemoglobin. this product is very important because it can deliver within the tissue oxygen. and of course,
9:37 pm
one of the 1st example is organ transplantation because we know about the rings of procedure of transportation. the oregon's 0 guns, you know, need oxygen. and then when you take canal gone from a efficient and before the trolls foundation, you have to preserve the oregon within the preservation solution. and today these preserver sing solution without the oxygen a tour. so the rings disappear. you and these very critical tell you, and of course of action the, the, the oregon may a prison some. what we court is kimmie group f, as in injuries. but let's cease to say that the organ we suffer from the lack of oxygen. so this product, of course, is, is a great motor to renew, then cuts that can get either oxygen directly to the, to the on gun that any and fucked with fools, that the motor too was safe,
9:38 pm
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. these animation shows how it could work. human human globe and inside red blood cells can 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 loved, wherever he mcgue logan 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, we can imagine a band shelf application, just use auction car. and you can see it's just coming from the buzz,
9:39 pm
the kinds of motor, what is that we call, we're having such an oxygen carrier. we new objects on station to say ok, look one but to using as a blood substantial. but uh, i mean, uh, even if the existing, any good is only 16 in, in, in 12 o'clock it's, it's, it's a huge st. george. 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 received them like saving organ transplants. but there's still a serious shortage of donor organs. in germany, some 8500 seriously new people are waiting for the gift of lights.
9:40 pm
this is what the lead of alice looked like, not all too long ago as though she was 19 months pregnant in her own words, her letter was failing and fluid was collecting in her abdomen. 15 years ago, hepatitis had caused her own liver to fail. she received the 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 drained to come to the i know its meaning that if you need to be leaving, cuz i need to definitely affects your quality of life. and 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 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 what 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? i hope i will be because i'm not really done with living. but of course,
9:41 pm
i think about what will happen if i don't get one think i'll sort of a novel, the spanish ears of waiting for a donor liver have left their mark time for a bit of strength training in those products. right now, a good squeeze with your other hand is talking elite as alex 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 on the scale shown to 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 at this point? she didn't know that just 9 days later she'd be receiving that all important phone call. a donor, oregon had been found of thought,
9:42 pm
it was an emotional moment for instruction. 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 the 2nd transplant went without a hitch. she spent a week in the hospital and now comes back for weekly check up. 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. lita valez will have to take medication for the rest of her life to suppress her immune system. otherwise her body will reject the donor, oregon. that might, it's easy to use,
9:43 pm
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, of the teaching and whole bodies and said this device time to celebrate with her 2 children and their partners. do you have 3 birthdays in your, you know, and lots of presence. 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. that was the 2nd transplant was her last chance. you just i feel fabulous. 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 people just make age. today, she can go for a walk without the thought of death on the back of her mind. she's grateful to the
9:44 pm
donor who gave her another chance that life and she's made a lot of plans for the future, leaving light to, to call me my plan to make the most, all life and the future. and if leading to therapy to start over, i do, i don't want to keep living the way i did before people's and 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 regulate your body's hormonal balance. ready if you're feeling tire and depressed or unmotivated and underactive, thyroid could be part of the problem. or if you weren't sure close on a from afghanistan, had a question about that. what
9:45 pm
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. 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 to cyber a disease can cause all sorts of problems. and underactive, thyroid is generally caused by an infection iodine deficiency can also we can
9:46 pm
decide right to 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 time in your diet. iodized salt can help
9:47 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 fuel cold easily, your thyroid gland might be to blame. it might not be producing enough of those crucial hormones is red. 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 surprised. that's a thank you to come on just that 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
9:48 pm
so does medicine have a race problem? the missed diagnosis rate was higher when it came to doc has been told patients. so not so with race. white people is still the reference point and mets and 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 a emergency room and i can only look for things or symptoms that i was taught, the consequences put could potentially be that i missed diagnose something that i'm to diagnose some things that means that i probably don't end up making the right decision, so when it comes to treatment, doctor. so notion crew wants to change that field of expertise,
9:49 pm
skin of color dermatology. when we look at our textbooks that i learned from them, you do see ever presentation off lights of skin tone. the doctor works at the sherry to 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, especially in europe in the us, affecting many white people. the virus is called monkey pulse because it was 1st
9:50 pm
discovered in a lot 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 western 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 a phenomenon known as the other ring in research. the w h o. now recommends the
9:51 pm
abbreviation and pokes 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, coming from a gun. this dawn from breakfast because they believe i can speak all the foreign
9:52 pm
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 should cru office information privately on social media for people of color and at the clinics. she now also provides consultation for skin of color metrology. uh, the 1st institution who does have a special space for am having patients with i'm diagnosed good symptoms and really trying to do is just create a space for those people who are approach and you can come to any which is through the work up and, and the goal is to come to a proposal to come to a diagnosis. i
9:53 pm
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 that illustrates? or it's a high parable lloyd. oh, okay. i've never held one of these before. the people who are blind to 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 had been done. if you're blind, how can we work with the graphic, or understand and perceive geometry or mentally visualize the 3 d shadow cast by a body of rotation or the image in something forced in 10 years ago. at the
9:54 pm
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 with 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 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. these doesn't mean when you put your finger on a specific point,
9:55 pm
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. 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 that 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 by step with you. and once it's in time for a quick break there, close that team working on a project that matters to all of them. that's all we have time for now,
9:56 pm
but thanks for joining us and hope to see you again soon, tomorrow today by the the
