it's not a myth the winter blues is scientifically proven. in our latitude about 10 to 15 percent of the population suffers from winter blues or winter depression and they complain of symptoms such as lack of drive a gloomy mood joylessness and increased fatigue frequently however they also complain about ravenous appetite and a strong need for sleep. it's no wonder have always been dependent on daylight back when we lived outside it was straightforward as long as the sun was shining we were active at night without sunlight we rested today we may have to get up when it's still dark and we spend most of the short right phase indoors we're living against the natural rhythm of daylight. even in winter time we should try to spend one to 2 hours a day outdoors to get enough light otherwise we feel dull and melancholy.
3:46 am
fortunately there's an alternative. an extra dose of light from a light therapy lamp. 30 minutes in front of one of these devices every morning can help drive away the winter blues. light stimulates us and makes us more attentive it promotes concentration it influences our energy metabolism which is the body to daytime rhythm and it also activates the immune systems. part of the visual system neurons in the eye known as retinal ganglion cells are particularly sensitive to blue light whether from the sun or a therapy lamp. these cells transmit the information about brightness directly to the brain they're the signal is not translated into images but influences the body's internal clock. it eventually ends up in the hypothalamus regulates hormone pradesh. this signal causes the release of hormones related to wellbeing

while levels of sleep or months are reduced. that's why light therapy is so effective in fighting with depression. you can expect to feel the effects after using it daily for one or 2 weeks but it's important to use it regularly. but remember strong blue light can damage the eyes so never look directly into the lamp just eat breakfast near it. no matter what kind of lighting you have winter evenings it's important to reduce the amount of blue light. candles or yellowish lamps then signal to us it's time to turn in. only used for mood disorders of depression it's also used for disorders but how can this

be because. too much light damages the skin it is true that from the doctor logical perspective might be both beneficial and detrimental because too much light exposure may provoke. beneficial because light suppress inflammation can suppress the. skin why it might be used chronic inflammatory skin disease might also help against it for which skin diseases can fota therapy help lead therapy may help topic eczema. but also for this is ongoing with like puharich or for example. where the skin becomes thick because of. however this does not mean. but going to the devil tonnages for example so how does a photo. actually work in our clinic patients usually treated with phototherapy

during a walk in clinic stay during the stave receive both intense topical treatment with creams and once foetal therapy and if required all sources to make medications the phototherapy are used very commonly for treatment of a topic x m r. v a 311 nanometer this is a way of flames especially suitable for treatment of these chronic inflammatory dermatologists. patients receive. protection of the eyes during the 4 to therapy they go into a 43rd pick up you and the 4 to therapy is 1st started with a few seconds dependent on the skin type and the photosensitivity and the dosage is increased day by day the treatment is repeated several times per week for a course of maybe 4 to 6 weeks so when should a patient with a topic eczema for example consider photo therapy patients with
3:50 am
a topic eczema should consider for therapy when they have a c.b.s. fly off their skin disease and when topic or treatment with creams and it's not sufficient in some patients for therapy helps to decrease the flare and the effect lasts for several weeks or months and in some patients with moderate atopic x. amount combination of topical treatment and phases of phototherapy is a very good choice in other patients who do not benefit long term from the foetal therapy and to experience severe flare asked after end of the fall to therapy one might consider systemic medications in form of tablets or syringes and what results can be achieved the thought of therapy for therapy suppresses immune reaction. and . in a topic eczema that inflammatory reaction might decrease thank you so much for this interesting talk thank you very much it was

a pleasure for me. so like in the right amount can be healing and even colors do have an effect on your body so what's your preference this might be due to your culture but it might be even due to your genes for instance red closing attracts attention red stands for energy and self-confidence but also full love that's why in traditional china couples marry and read in northern europe yellow stands for joy for optimism for idealism and humor whereas in russia yellow flowers symbolize betrayal and mourning yellow was also the color of grief in ancient egypt green means being reliable modest and generous in the arabic world green is holy color and the principal color in the qur'an people who wear blue know what they want the color conveys reliability. loyalty interest nullity but also emotional coldness in japan blue stands for life money and peace and rescue rhett

it's just totally cool. not only psychologists are interested in colors designers and architects too for instance when they design clinics. color plays a big role in the health industry pills for instance come in a variety of colors wind is mainly for pain killers. red or orange is used for stimulants and we all know what that little blue pill is for. but what about the color you see 1st thing in the morning may be red. blue. or green. could that influence your well being. it's a question being researched at his university hospital in germany. head of intensive care. and can expect acts of boys are convinced the color of

hospital rooms could have an immense impact on patients' health. and on common why not try it out in hospitals not make them excessively colorful but carefully we structure them using our knowledge of how colors affect us like in this role. this is kind of instead of sterile white hospital corridor was wards and workstations. and conducted a study to see what impacts color had in the intensive care unit. over a period of 24 months they tried out different shades the walls were painted in pastels and earth tones and the life was changed they asked patients before and after the renovation how they felt about their treatments nursed him and couldn't exclude the impact among his seriously ill patients 1st hand of the so called.

colors have had a real effect on our patients. you could say that the patients suffer less from delirium. so. they remain better oriented and generally feel better. delirium is a common problem in hospitals particularly among the most critically ill calare helped relax the patients they were less likely to suffer from disorientation and anxiety dr vic was skeptical at 1st but the evidence wasn't purely anecdotal she saw clear results in the medication used to treat delirium. most astonishing for me was the use of medication which was extremely. all 3 stations on average it was reduced by almost 30 on herself.
3:55 am
folk can expect to exit but it's no surprise that different hues could have such a strong effect on our health. on the perceived colors and that makes something happen in our bodies colors can directly influence our breathing even our blood sugar levels you may be familiar with that when you see a delicious looking color and feel like eating even though you're not hungry like when there's a pretty picture of a dessert on the menu. then our blood sugar goes down and i feel hungry and eat something although i don't need it all. and boys are continuing to work on the impact of color in the hospital's intensive care unit. in a king it can attend light they want to consider other practices as well such as sounds and smells they see a lot of potential for improving learning for patients. wasn't

4:02 am
president donald trump addressed frenetic fans in 5 different swing states on sunday visibly fighting the cold but with his usual self confidence. we are going to win 4 more years in that very beautiful white house. with your vote we will continue to cut your taxes cut regulations and ensure that bore products are made and raised and grown in the usa. with only a couple of days left to complain trump focused on crucial swing states like michigan and iowa before heading to georgia and florida. despite its breath at levi's in corona virus cases in the u.s. supporters packed into the rallies most of them not adhering to social distancing rules or wearing masks. that will very different scenes at
4:03 am
joe biden's compay in belize and pennsylvania most supporters stayed in their cars as the democratic candidate welcomed them president droppers terrified of what will happen to the president you know if the people president get that other say if you have your say he doesn't stand a chance biden also blasted trump for dividing the country and that's exactly what trump for trying to do for governor began dividing america based on race religion gender national origin it's wrong it's not who we are biden has a comfortable lead in most of the polls but he knows that election day turnout will be crucial in deciding the new president of the united states when joining me now is our chief political editor in washington d.c. and you know we're nearly there only 2 days until election day why are biden and trungpa visiting these states in particular. well because they know they
4:04 am
need 2 options of pasta was the presidency that is either the rust belt or the sun belt by the south now joe biden decided on the rust belt state of pennsylvania today where he really had to make a cause for getting him elected this is after his comments that are critical of a continuation of fossil fuels here in in the united states and that is something that could be seen as a job killer so he knows that he has to gain some ground there pennsylvania expected to be a key state and with donald trump heading for that southern roots more today but quite clearly he aims to be zigzagging the country to get that small monton to fight until the very last moment because although do biden is seen overall in the lead by the pollsters there individual districts also individual states where he is
4:05 am
within the error a margin and we all remember from 2016 what that could mean almost a major polling that shows biden currently ahead in all of the critical battleground states what difference if any is this last minute blitz going to really make in those key states. well it demonstrates commitment that's what trump is a banking on but at the same time we know that a lot of votes have already simply been cast more than $19000000.00 that translates into more than 70 percent of ballots that were actually handed in last time around a lot more postal balloting and this is actually a key issue because we see these candidates on the campaign trail still but a lot of this is likely to be fought in the courts we heard 6 donald trump today before his rally in north carolina say that he wants to see a result on election night that he thinks it's very bad as he put it that ballots
4:06 am
should be counted after election day and i have to add that that is something that is a common practice in states like pennsylvania who allow for postal ballots to be posted and handed in up until election day is the postal stamp that counts well he disagrees and here the republicans lost a key challenge in texas today where they had tried to get 130000 ballots declared invalid because they were cast through a drive in ballot box system and we expect to see a lot of that and we expect to see a lot of that on the election night so we might even see donald trump declare himself and that's what everybody is afraid of to have one because he feels winning means winning on the night but a lot of ballots will still have to be counted in the following days and as it looks a very significant chunk of those ballots cast. in washington d.c.
