ah, reporter tracks down the arctics. major players with you see route begins of dangerous game. people overseas that yeah, we are here. we're patrolling area now, the chords are being re shuffled. who has the best handed? russia is a quite active economic in the arctic. if you see something that looked like james bond, it has to do with military starts december 23rd on dw. have you ever asked to days about that blood type? in some coaches, blood groups of believe to be linked to personality traits. so it could be good to know, but actually there's no scientific basis for this belief, and you're better of trusting your instincts when it comes to choosing

a partner. still, your blood group definitely does have a lot to do with your health. we find out why in this week's edition of, in good shape i all human beings belong to one of 4 main blood troops. just as primates do the blood groups differ by the antigens on the surface of the red blood cells. people whose blood contains antigen a belong to blood group 8. those with antigen b belong to black group b. in any one with both antigens belongs to blood group ab. then there are many who don't have any specific antigen on their red blood cells. those people belong to blood group. oh, our immune system knows exactly which red blood cells are ours. it attacks any

other cells that don't fit the bill. ready it's vital information for blood transfusions. if we receive a transfusion of blood from another blood type that blood clot and can lead to death, the for blood types are not evenly spread out across the globe. blood group, oh is dominant in most countries, but blood group a is most prevalent in europe. blood groups be an a, b or the rarest worldwide. in addition to the a, b o system, human blood is classified into 32 other blood group categories. for example, the recent factor and yet we still don't know everything there is to know about blood in the evolutionary sense, blood group, hey, is the oldest. the other types mutated later in the 1980s, us naturopathic physicians piece her data mo,

developed to blood type diet. it was based on the idea that how our bodies princess me from grains depends on our blood type. however, you, my scientific studies have shown this isn't true. there's no link between blood group and diet. but blood type can play a role in certain diseases including haven, 19 and the extent to which people are affected by cove. it seems to be a matter of luck. some people who are young and fit are infected upon their 1st contact with the virus. and others like julia, don't get it. she recently spent an hour and a half having breakfast with her father tested positive the same day, and her boyfriend also brought the virus home 2 weeks later. daven via battle and we spent 3 days together ever. he was positive with a c t value of $21.00,

and we assume there was no point in isolating after we'd already been around each other for so long time. but after that, nothing else really happened. accomplished now for julia remained healthy. researchers have different theories about why certain people are less susceptible to cove. it than others. it could be their immune system, a question of timing or their blood type. ah, no, nothing much as far as i know, my blood type is all negative. maybe that's why i'm sprinkled my blood types. oh, i've not been infected, but i don't think that's why andre franca is a molecular biologist with his team. he's been investigating genetic peculiarities that could help explain why some people are better protected from an infection than others. for their research led them to consider blood type, whether a person's blood type is a, b, or o appears to play a major role dom dying against class. yet we were able to observe

a clear relationship between a b o blood group and susceptibility to an infection robot con. various studies carried out all over the world have shown that people whose blood type is oh, are less likely to be infected with coded than people with other blood types that likely has to do with the compatibility of the blood types with each other. just a reminder, the different blood groups have different antigens in their blood cells. only blood group. oh has no engines. that's why people with blood type o can donate blood to any one. conversely, people with blood type o can't receive blood from people with other blood types. the antigens in the blood of the other blood groups causes their bodies to reject it. during transfusions, boom, a research team in france has a theory, maybe infections with people who have different blood types operate under the same

principle with that. what mean a person with blood type? oh, can't be easily infected by people with other blood types. however, if they do get infected, they can spread the virus very easily to other people. watkins or fans in via that, that makes sense. because when viruses reproduce in the sematic cells bones y'all, they combine with proteins and other materials from a human home form mentioned phyllis case, it's the blood group, anti gen, so called montague o julia also suspected that her blood type played a role in her apparent immunity to cove it, but a blood test revealed. she's in blood group a. so in her case, the reason is still a mystery. ah. so people with blood type o as slightly better protected from the coven. 19 virus was about other health

risks. some by sit on his own people with blood type o or less likely to suffer a stroke or arterial thrombosis. i. e, they're less likely to suffer from coronary heart disease. that's one example. skin o. so, but there are areas including infections where these people are at a disadvantage window. no, not at all. if you contract cholera or typhus for example, i'm glad you're more likely to have a bad case if you're much hypo mystic. then if your blood type a, i've finished my food. bah, blood type influence is immune response. and also blood calculation. people with blood grew pay are at higher risk of blood clots. it's of any sort of limit on it. it's not that everyone with blood type a will suffer thrombosis and those with la time, oh, won't take to. the effect is not that huge, right?

uses on the media reported on how blood group. oh, it makes you slightly better protected against covered as of the risk for the other groups. increases by about 5 to 10 percent by something simple. and basically it's not worth worrying about each blood type has advantages and disadvantages. or do you know how to treat a car like this one? if not state you in our next report we explain. the do's and don'ts of treating wins and dispense with a few popular met. cuts and graces are not usually a cause for concern. but it's important to know when you should treat them yourself, and when it would be better to see a doctor. general practitioner, doctor, you'll cut i didn't often has to deal with every day emergencies. this patient fell

down the stairs going up. that's when the lin open wound needs to be stitch of of your community. as my monkey, we're going to use a compression bandage for now, so i don't need to worry about sending the patient to the hospital to have the wound properly seen to hold certain. so including one for 0. most acts it happen when there isn't a doctor close by. if one of your kids gets a scrape, how would you treat it as women, mitchell, and then i'm far as well. if you don't have anything else on hand, then you should just rinse the wound with tap water coming from cleaning it like that can remove germs from. not in the afternoon, then you should cover the wound to stop any germs from getting in vital time. you can use a compress or plaster for whatever you have at home. presently, what unfastened in this was, my name's halsy him up to seminar. step one, wash your hands if possible, before treating a wound or put on sterile gloves. stepped to clean and disinfect the wound,

get rid of any dirt as it could otherwise cause an infection. and finally covered the wound with a plaster or a bandage. and blowing on a wound isn't really a good idea. our saliva contains a lot of bacteria and they can also cause affection. so don't do it with a cut. can be a lot more dangerous. if it's bleeding profusely, then it's better to go straight to the doctors that will and was wanting. your quote will design with cuts, you have to look how deep the cut is. the mentality are fundamental anatomical structures under the skin affected. come on him of mine as it's possible to injure a tendon or even a blood vessel with the use of my medicine. for me, it's important to use compression to help staunch the bleeding bites of you and it needs to be tightly bandaged in a couple didn't don't one the compressor on. there are many myths about how wounds

should be treated, for example, that wounds heal better if they've been exposed to the air. is that true? if the woman's automatic in a serious wound should be covered and treated properly, so that a will call, the wound is protected from further infection. wonderful, right? and b. lastly, there's enough moisture for the wound to heal. it was survival and one. i don't even buy another wine spread, myth cuts, he'll better and see water because it contains salt near with us when they see water is a source of infection. never go into the sea with fresh wounds. you can get infected with germs. the whole time at an i'm fun. oh and what about using alcoholic drinks to disinfect? a whooped diploma. using pure alcohol or grabbing some whiskey like the cowboys did. but it was a really bad idea because it also attacks the skin surrounding the wound at yummy.

and cause is more harm than good before was that it would mean what's not you'd be best off buying a 1st aid kit for home. that includes a variety of adhesive plasters and compresses and various bandages, as well as sterile gloves and disinfectant spray every year as a shortage of an estimated a $100000000.00 units of blood worldwide. anyone who's healthy can help by donating blood. people who need blood transfusions include women giving birth cancer patients and people who have lost a lot of blood after an accident or during surgery. flood is an especially short supply and low income countries. that according to the world health organization, the number of donors in asia and africa is growing. uganda and hospitals are experiencing an unprecedented blood shortage

with as a result docked to say that many patients die waiting in vain for blood transfusions. i suppression through a kit, leukemia. i see persons who have been bleeding. i knew that particular product or the current get it. it is hot, brick. if you have preference child hood both because they are mimic, it's not up. would expire at the national blood by or thirty's blame the recent blood scarcity on coven, 19 induced locked down. your fortune to really know if the ones that are supposed to be while uganda was still below target before the pandemic, the situation was worsened by the abrupt closure of schools and universities for

almost 2 years. legacy ha syphilis on the results for blood a group our students over 17 make up over 85 percent of uganda is voluntary blood donors. they donate at centralized school clubs and university health camps. but with these shutting during locked down, mobilizing people across society to donate, blood became increasingly challenging would readily meet our target earned. we were advised was pre, does preserve only blood for you, my guess is only andy live built for a sions. so the vicious, they're nearly all parisian said to wait the fire on public transportation was another major problem. cb guy like he goes,

he says, but he had to use special privileges as a senior government official to access the donation center during the locked down. he's donated blood more than $100.00 times as even if you're, you're uncovered or locked down. that doesn't stop people from getting sick. oh my, those delivery. but where'd they get it if ever would a cannot i'm off. so for us, a few of us will, could or more than we heard the option of moving to hear this bliss donated the little recon well, room of elizabeth, so on buddhism during the sometime to as a little tricky. but as hospitals catch up with earlier postponed medical procedures, blood remains scares even after the locked downs. at less than $450000.00 units of safe blood collected annually,

uganda is below the world health organization recommendation. this requires a country to collect blood from at least one percent of its population. we made an all day yesterday yesterday, back to one. we kill to day, not only tell what is there and he told us to wait or talk city hours. so i'd be here and wait for the blood. you come expecting you may be on the seal, but you ratio in your mind that at least that was with those women blood. and those in the lab. how camilla amazing is that each of you hug at you can have what dick, where those bit according to the w. h. o. the cove at 19 pandemic has led to a 30 percent drop in blood supply globally.

blood banks around the world, according on people to become donors and appealing to those who already do to give blood more frequently. here are a few chips. if you're planning on donating blood drink enough beforehand, he'll usually donate about 500 milliliters of blood and it will take 10 minutes afterwards to make sure you rest and stay hydrated up to 20 minutes. your circulation will have adjusted to the blood loss. that could blood substitutes mean that one day they'll be no need for people to donate blood. the team at this genetic engineering lab is working on something doctors have been seeking for centuries. but blood substitute that's compatible with all potential

recipients, and that's in unlimited supply. the project is headed by biologist ami conch dine vitamin. if one's to bruce, when our aim is not to replace blood donations, but to help patients who are currently very difficult to supply due to their rare blood tires and they can only be supplied with specific blood, i sent them to the office of that kind of the complex nature of blood makes it difficult to replicate. in the 19 ninety's research is believed they'd at least found a substitute for the oxygen carrier aspect. milky white chemical compounds called pare floral carbons. ultimately, however, there were too many side effects. and various other attempts to use blood from cows and pigs to create a substitute for humans have yet to bear fruit. french researchers have been surveying coastal waters for an answer. the lug worm has

a molecule in its blood that's responsible for transporting oxygen and is far more effective than our own hemoglobin using it as a substitute is probably feasible, but very complicated. which is why the researchers in dresden are looking into alternative channels. jam. uncover, we took some bone marrow and isolated specific cells, the precursors of red blood cells follow up thing that wouldn't food say. so the key here are the isolated stem cells which develop into red blood cells as their unfortunately in scare supply. the dress and team introduce a special genes into the cells that are familiar from cancer patients. they cause tumors to grow. here, they mean infinite cell division. for langley the clip skin, as long as the cancer genes are present within the cells, are able to reproduce continuously. continent ellis,

the shania. and if we turn those millions back off the gal, the cells can develop into red blood cells. i'll stick valencia while that's encouraging news, it's hard to say when it will be possible to make the substitute blood on a scale that will actually help patients. it's likely to be decades rather than years. oh fever, palpitations, confusion. did you know that these could be symptoms of blood poisoning every year? from 50000000 people worldwide suffer what's known as sepsis. it kills $11000000.00 a year, including from $2.00 to $3000000.00 infants. it can also affect healthy adults and develop very rapidly. danny fleming survived an extreme form of blood poisoning when he got it. it took him by surprise. as a rose gaze. oh i can get almond. it actually started right after dinner isn't

let's lish again. back top, i suddenly noticed that i was freezing cold. so i was shaking up so then i got bad chills come on and it got worse during the night. obviously. so bad that my sister called an emergency doctor went up at 1st. he suspected food poisoning. 2 days later, danny was taken to the hospital, a blood test there, revealed that his inflammation levels were far too high, and danny fleming was sent to the intensive care unit. he had extreme blood poisoning known as sepsis. so what is sepsis? it's when the body's own defenses are no longer able to prevent the spread of a local infection. the viruses or bacteria get into the blood and spread throughout the bloodstream. this is septicemia that leads to sepsis. when the immune system over reacts and not only fights the bacteria, but also damages the body. the result, not only the pathogens are attacked,

but also the organs such as the heart. busy and kidneys. busy these then threatened to fail within ours failure to react in time results in multi organ and circulatory failure. common causes are open wounds, lung infections, urinary tract infections, and infections in the abdominal area. professor marcus vibrant is a blood poisoning specialist. he knows that tens of thousands of deaths could be prevented each year. if sepsis were diagnosed early sets of substances extremely difficult to diagnose in its early stages as of the symptoms are in specific humor. oh, how can sepsis be identified? a red line under the skin can be a symptom of success,

but it's not always present demarus issue, the mystical red stripe is an inflammation of a dilemma fabric system which isn't yet subsequent. however, it's an inflammation that can later lead to sepsis, and therefore it's advisable. to go to the doctor, i vomit. some of the symptoms of subsets include high temperature, rapid heart rate, shortness of breath, lower blood pressure, and disorientation. sepsis should be considered even if only one of those symptoms is present. relatives also often say that the infected person shows unusual behavior a year after his diagnosis. danny fleming is slowly getting better thanks to antibiotic therapy to fight the sepsis and a lot of patience. he was in the hospital for 6 weeks, followed by 7 weeks of rehab. what are the long term effects?

after being bedridden for so long? danny had difficulty moving at 1st with his girlfriend by his side. he fought his way back to health boys from just the hawk diaz can give us a look of on, on kind of a 1st attempt to walk was in the hospital with busio therapy. them a mental help. i'm with alicia was always there and she spurred me on she said, come on and you can make it across the corridor. somebody in a box. yeah. and rehab i was in the same room with an 80 year old guys that i kept telling him, how can i go by the end of rehab was to be just as fit as he was go us. but that's how bad it was over. oh, i didn't sean up to 3 quarters of the survivors of septa suffer from long term consequences, such as chronic pain or neurological disorders. to prevent sepsis from occurring in the 1st place. risk groups such as the over sixty's, immunocompromised infants, but also the chronically sick should be vaccinated against new mcclockey, amending or khaki, as well as against flu and coven 19. because all these diseases can trigger sept,

says from septicemia, and always treat open wounds properly. now it say that you, you, if you want to give you a circulation of east to try this work out for arms and shoulders, fitness trainer, aaliyah. damn and show you how welcome to day. i have a great exercise for you. you need to wait. i think let's get started. take do away. i have to what about us? stay upright. bring the bottles in front of you and then pull it as high as you can. back down. for this exercise, it's really important that your elbows stay above your breath.
