6:48 pm
but my life has changed completely and i've had to alter my diet for starters. i think one of you, the north that up it'll see moist already that i'm now very strict about particular foods. i can't eat any fat. hm. and i certainly can drink too much alcohol for that in his diary as a good gus in her sport used to be a central part of my life. i used to exercise almost every day, but now i can only exercise 2 or 3 times a week. i'm just too weak. i have to do it in small amounts, otherwise my body can't cope on the one, but on top of these physical effects and limitations on his life, there is also the financial impact. so far, his treatment has cost more than $18000.00 us dollars and he is one of the lucky ones. as a university professor, he has private health insurance, which covers the costs. blood transfusions are particularly expensive. so far he
6:49 pm

6:50 pm
knees. hundreds of people here are still suffering after effect from the illness, despite no longer testing positive for it. and 10 of the countries 24 federal states. the government has now set up centers offering after care for coven 19 patients. in which case, god bless you, we decided to specially trained some of our medical professionals homeless busy on this as in lemon, mainly specialists and pulmonary rehabilitation to be able to deal with the various long problems that occur in defeating it well so that they can recognize them and help treat them. it says using specific exercises for reactivating lung capacity up the web backup. i see that good more left this every i think this is for patients who have had coven, once or multiple times, will know what he has. this is called estefan. ron has another doctor's appointment
6:51 pm
. he comes here for a check up once a month. oh, oh. oh, how are you doing? i'm good. i'm doing much better than i was in love examiners. today's blood test is the 1st one without signs of anemia. we see a normal hemoglobin value of 15.6. the a check of your iron levels reveals that your serum iron is normal, mckellar, the hero you rosetti with them a little bit on your iron deposits are low though, so the hematologist may decide to give you another transfusion to top them up, but i do not know if it wasn't a good thing of school for a step on their own, there's light at the end of the tunnel. he can cycle through kito and he hopes that one day he'll be back to his previous fitness levels. one of the unsettling characteristics of long cove it is that there are no bio mach
6:52 pm
has to enable a clear medical diagnosis. that's where all 4 legged friend could come to the rescue. researches in hanover have discovered that specially trained sniffer dogs can detect a long caving infection. this is barling, and this is polly. like all dogs, they have an incredibly sensitive sense of smell until the 5th. research is at the university of veterinary medicine. hanover, are training the 2 dogs under a dozen others as part of a study on diagnosing long cove. it with training the dogs, i usually able to correctly identify smell samples from infected patience. or the prep of assignment that is in the accuracy rate is surprisingly hi, mrs. burleson. movie comments. that was also such a eureka moment for us when we began the study that's at least by sensitivity globally. the accuracy rate of dogs is 81 to 86 percent nelson distances x not is
6:53 pm
portentous of the dogs are much better than rapid antigen tests and the internet has. so how do dogs detect private infections? any one who has contracted the virus, emits volatile organic compounds. the dogs can sniff these out, and apparently even long after a patient has recovered that st. lucie, i'm with a synchronous the hunter and shines m m m. we actually found out that the dogs were able to identify long covered samples along, but only when they were presented alongside negative samples with formatting smooth, negative form present. it wouldn't when presented next to samples of acute cove. it, the dogs preferred the acute samples, your coupon affiliate ones, or the gosh, these mid us, that's why not so we concluded and that there is some kind of degrading odor profile. and we're trying to confirm that in further studies of sd these are the inner workings of our machine. behind each sniffing hole is
6:54 pm
a slot with 2 samples, one with the coded 19 virus, and one without. the machine was designed to train dogs in the detection of drugs and explosives, but research has found that it can also be used with cobit samples. now hidden doors gung after each run all the slides or reposition and show that only one hall contains a positive sample on site. but all other holes contain negative samples. when, if the dog keeps its nose in the hole with the positive sample for long enough strung, then of feeding mechanism is triggered through dogs, magenta's most in a secure laboratory at the university of iraq. notice prepares the cove it's samples, saliva, sweat, and urine specimens are used in the training so that they are no longer infectious . the samples are chemically treated beforehand. listen woman actimmune, we have to deactivate the samples because dogs and of course,
6:55 pm
the people who trained the dogs could otherwise get infected right. now the samples are no longer infectious and can be used for training. in 2020 scientists conducted the 1st test with the specimens. undiscovered that sniffer dogs can indeed like to take coven 19. but could sniffer dogs also be used in everyday medical practice? yard assisting bar? yes, it's feasible math because the dogs really do it very quickly. heaped smokeless cotton hundreds which can there are ways to train them. meetings put, there are training programs, not so much for disease detection. at the moment it's mainly training to detect explosives or drugs, but you can also transfer the expertise to diseased detection. what i did conks, they picked soon. oh, the research is in hanover, will present their results next year. the world health organization is now also recognizing the potential for using the animals sensitive noses to detect illness.
6:56 pm
it wants to support the scientists and they canine assistance into the feature. so coming up on the next coven 19 special join us at a christmas market in berlin. now after 2 years, then does the finally able to serve the public again? mm hm. until then, bye. bye and stay healthy. ah ah, with
