to offer words of comfort and support to the country after washington in huge numbers close to his border, my guess is really the foreign minister, the nature of labor. what did he get out of the business? and what was the conflict? 60 minutes of d w. me the place was one of the 1st germans to contract over 1900 and she was one of the 1st to see that symptoms can remain even after the virus is gone. 5 months later, she was still experiencing difficulties. the, as you can see, moodle come on very tired, i can easily go to bed and fall asleep at 8 o'clock. that wasn't the case before. yeah. and that's the main problem. the tiredness,

it's really debilitating. some tend to 20 percent of those infected later suffer from long cove. it recent studies suggest to women are at greater risk than men. the lungs, heart, brain, or mental health can be affected and it is still not exactly clear what causes long cove it or what can be done to treat it. hello and welcome to are covered 900 special. because cobra, berlin being tired out of breath and feeling like the infection simply won't leave . long covert syndrome is grueling for patients and a challenge to medical professionals. now researchers in the german city of allying and might have taken an important step towards understanding more about the condition a single drop of blood. it's all that's needed for the examination. at the university long and mass monk institute in germany, scientists are looking for the causes of long covert or post covered 900 syndrome

in which patients suffer from lingering breathlessness tightness and the chest or fatigue. st associate. we've seen many different blood cells react very strongly, they get bigger and have a greater volume, some become more malleable, others become more rigid. these characteristics might have something to do with the sales, not passing through the capillaries as easily. and instead, getting stuck in the lungs, lantus come to sing along, stick to measure the cells. mellie ability, scientists have developed a so called chip which contains tiny holes finer than a human hair. blood is pumped through these canals and films with the high st camera. the result, healthy blood cells become rod shape infected one to remain around lunch alone. the finding that all blood cells change is very significant. and what we

then saw is that these characteristics revert back to normal in most patients, once they've got over the disease and made a full recovery. i've added to the test method from among them, provides doctors with yet another tool for better understanding cove at 19 and a long term. so there is some indication of what could be causing long coded symptoms, but a lot still needs to be figured out. let's try to unpack of what is known so far. with me is matthew bartels, professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation. and while you're a medical center in new york, welcome back to our program. matthew. as we just saw, the report abnormalities in the blood could be a cause of long could it, could this finding help and the prevention or even therapy of it. this is a very interesting finding because you know, we have not really to this point understood the exact causes of long coded and it

is a systemic type of disease and manifests in many ways as you have in your intro piece . the idea that something that for blood abnormality may contribute to a systemic diseases is not at all something that would be unusual. many people are familiar with sickle cell and although that's a genetic condition and very different having ever maladies of the blood cells, they are cause many effects, including central neurological symptoms of tea cause muscular skeletal complaints problems with the joints. so having something that is present all throughout the body like blood showing these long term abnormalities may be a very important step in understanding part of where we may be getting the cause of our long code. it. 10 to 20 percent of covert patients end up suffering from long covert symptoms like fatigue, shortness of breath, headache. how long do those usually last? well, that's a very good point. we don't really know. we are, you know,

at this point only a year and a half into the pandemic, but we are seeing in our own medical center and we have along with clinic numerous patients that a year out are still seeing symptoms. the fatigue seems to be one of the greatest ones. there are of course, patients who have long term lung damage that have come from having had the co, vague, and that causes scarring that we don't know if it's going to reverse. but it seems in very. ready severe cases unfortunately, that it persists and we're now starting to be concerned that may actually progress to the point where patients may actually require long transplantation. as the disease progresses and the neurologic symptoms, the many patients complain of a fogginess or a little bit of mental clouding that persists for a long time. we don't know exactly what the causes of these things are, but we do know that exercise and that having patients participate in our therapy

programs rehabilitation things that we would do for patients who have other causes of either neurologic or pulmonary or chronic fatigue or muscular skeletal symptoms do seem to have effect as well for this population, so we're having benefit and we're actually making them feel better. but we still have a problem with not understanding fully the long term time course because it's just too early for us to know the long term. ok, we know that high age being overweight and other symptoms at the risk of a severe covert infection. do these conditions also contribute to the risk of long coven? it appears that the folks who had a higher risk for having coven seemed to have more symptoms. but it's not just only those patients we have young, otherwise active and healthy patients who are presenting with long coded symptoms. and so it's pretty broad spread. but they do see,

it does seem to be that very severe patients seem to have more of a pulmonary and cardiac symptoms that persists. whereas we're very surprised to see a lot of patients who are never admitted to hospital and who were never in an intensive care unit or on a breathing machine who are presenting now with long coded. so they had a relatively mild initial course, but are still presenting with the fatigue and some of the mental clouding. and that is very interesting and kind of concerning because we don't necessarily have a handle to say, oh, you are definitely going to be free of this because it happens to everyone is the fact that we've just quote, unquote just been one and a half years into this pandemic, this fact make it so difficult to do. proper research on long calls it well, the, the research, there's some things that are progressing rapidly and because so many individuals have had long. this is a disease and have a good. we are actually getting

a much better categorization of for the long terms, the quello or the long term side effects of this condition. it's difficult for us to actually tell because we don't have a long term yet. so we don't know yet to say what will happen to people 51015 years from now. but the other challenge that we have is a lot of the symptoms with long coded overlap with symptoms that we can see from other kinds of syndrome such as chronic fatigue syndrome or from mild dimensions or from other kinds of metabolic conditions that may cause some brain abnormalities which cause people to have some confusion. and then as you resolve those underlying metabolic conditions, you can resolve the underlying problem. so we really, at this point are looking at such a constellation of so many symptoms that it makes it a little hard to focus in because it's not like long over it is just causing one thing. causes the whole constellation of symptoms which may actually be either

enhancer, worsened by other conditions, or may just be the other condition and we're thinking it may be long over. so it's a bit challenging for researchers to actually tie it, get it tied up into play bundle because we have so many complexities that are actually in there. but the knowledge that we're getting now is moving forward. if for example, the blood study that you just mentioned is one of these things we're now starting see the physiologic background, right? few bottles, professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation. thank you for your thoughts. thank you. and from the feeling that cobra had never left its now onto the worry of catching it again. here is one of your questions for our science correspondent williams. paul. i had coven 19 recently and recovered vin not long ago, found out i was exposed again. could i have been infected again? the data we have indicates that although it's not impossible it's,

it's highly unlikely. a lot of researchers have looked at this question and come to that conclusion. for instance, a recent large scale study involving over 25000 healthcare workers in britain showed that having had cobra 1900 once had a dramatic protective effect for at least 7 months after an infection. the strength of the effect was close to the one observed and people who had 2 doses of our most effective vaccines. additionally, this study showed that people who had cobit 19 then tested positive again for it a few months or weeks after convalescence. the chances of developing symptoms were also much lower than and those were infected with the 1st time. but if you have the disease and recovered, it's still doesn't mean that you can just sit back and relax completely. you still

really need to follow it up with the vaccination. that's because although recent studies into the robustness of long term immune response in people who got the disease, although they've been very encouraging, we still don't know whether that response might wayne over time. in fact, a growing body of research now indicates that people who recovered and were subsequently vaccinated, that they could very well have the best protection of all. some experts believe the immune response after that double whammy will be so powerful and so long lasting and those who recovered and then vaccinated that they might never need future booster shots. but for those of us who have only been vaccinated, a lot of experts expect a booster shot will be necessary at some point down the line. me. and that's all for this edition, of course,

away full time. my name isn't my much and i will have to use the the hello and welcome to arts and culture. well, after being deprived of live audiences for well over a year, the restart of cultural life is not without its challenges for some moral not. and also coming up target tv series, known as d r, breaking raising records all over the world from pakistan to chile. we looked into what makes them so successful? well, he called himself a musical maverick. and when he chose to become an organist american cameron

carpenter knew that he had to tread some new ground. so he decided designed a digital organ that he can take on tour to get it out of the church, so to speak. and his flamboyant an orthodox performances typically take large audiences by storm. but despite all that, getting back on stage, and berlin after months of lockdown has not been a cakewalk. the. he's one of the worlds fastest organist could. even cameron carpenter got slowed down by the pandemic. now he's awakened his digital turing, oregon from his lockdown slumber, and his once again playing live in an indoor venue before a small audience, ah, coming back to playing just now before the people after playing for thousands of people. i feel definite nervousness. and of course now i'm older, so we all are after good then demick really helps in the aging. so,

you know, of course now it's, it's not so nice to be feeling a little bit nervous about playing in front of people and finding myself a little shaky. oh, the location is not a concert hall, but a former mint in berlin. built in the 1930 during the nazi era, and in use up until the 2000 me. it's difficult for me to imagine it being an industrial room because i know this room by its acoustic and, and if you think about the hammering of 3rd right coins and discontinued smashing of metal. it's, it's of a thought which is so ugly to me that it's almost, it's almost foreign when i'm sitting here playing the organ, the complex is now a cultural center. at the start of this year,

a carpenter moved in as artist in residence. having lost his rehearsal space during the pandemic, sponsors covered the cost of moving and installing his tour in oregon. which carpenter consult designed? ah, i'm very lucky, and i'm in an unusual position both at this oregon. and then with my career in what it's been. and i probably still have more, more opportunities than the average bear. but even in my position it's, it's been totally destabilizing and i have to say, artistically destructive period that he tried to fight against them. in the summer of 2020, he taught through germany with a truck performing outdoor concerts including in front of nursing home. but that wasn't enough to maintain the skills needed to play such a highly complex instrument. it's a bit like being a high level athlete in a way, you know, if you don't need to compete at a very, very high level, it's impossible to maintain the level the

the carpenter is gradually returning to top form on his touring morgan. but he doesn't think it will be easy to restart the entire classical music business in general. ah, it's a battleship. it's very difficult to turn quickly. obviously, it's important to get as many people back to work as we can. but i think it remains to be seen what the public comfort level with engagement in many, many other issues down the down the economic and logistics tree. what those will be . the german carpenter is planning more like defense and even a new cd of compositions bypass. he's cautiously optimistic for the future.
