the same 60 minutes on d w. well, the in progress pop calls to everyone who wants to know more about the topic 2nd, then there's about the stories beyond the headline world in progress. the w cuts out this week and d, w 's health show is all about batteries and village. no, i don't mean difficult neighbors. cranky, co workers or corporate sharks. we're talking pathogens, bacteria, funky and viruses. as to these events, they found out they can take you by surprise. welcome to in good shape. the

. the 1st thing that teresa betsel noticed with the red spot on the forehead that was slightly sole. the biology student thought you might have accidentally splashed some chemicals on test scan during the lab internship. well, that may be, it was a scrape. the single kind of burned a bit and also hurt when i touched it. i'm done, as listers also formed on the spot that burned even more by sunday. and after a while my forehead started to feel numb, comes to my forehead, was very sensitive to touch. it tingled slightly google's and since they settled like a cubic symptoms became more most of the of the skin clinic. the 23 year old discovered she had shingles. this is a follow up visit. she still suffers from intermittent pain and other symptoms. the student had always thought that shingles was something you really got when you were

all last month too much of folk took me someone to think it was quite a shock at 1st. i didn't expect it was perplexed and yeah, and i wondered where it came from. come to see if you've had chicken pox. then you have a chance of getting shingles after chicken pokes infection. the virus cell is also the virus remains dormant in your body and enough roots of the spinal cord. decades later, the virus can be reactivated and travel alone. you'll notice press waste. your skin shingles can appear on your head back optimum or other places on your body. stick on. so if he gets a very common disease, i see 2 or 3 patients here every day, way really severe singles who require inpatient treatment to go to the whole cables, look and lead times event. so when to the doctor quickly and her condition was diagnosed right away with treatment with antiviral drugs, which tablets well,

sometimes infusions is the best way to tackle it. of switching it is does not move to the important thing is to start the treatment. as soon as possible, the timeframe is 48 hours after the onset of the skin changes. so anything that starts leader is still useful, but may not be as effective. if shingles is treated too late, there's a risk of permanent impairment. the nerves, the virus travels alone, can be seriously damaged and patients can develop what's called post have pet. take you around, you or p h. n. thorsten yon develop that communication? it's been a yes since he got shingles. it started when we can 1st severe pain then placed his on his neck and face, bending, itching, stinging on the pain, has still not gone away. just shooting. and that's when, if it you aisles as if it's not your own skin would lead like you're covered with

leather. can very strange feel like i can hold as when it's yet. so when i shave my neck here, i just don't feel it your. it's not just converge. i taught tossing young was diagnosed 4 days later by his family doctor. and then he was treated with antiviral tablets. he was also given strong painkillers, which he still taking because the consequences can be great if don't his world wide advise. older people to be backs in a to the can. shingles. a vaccine has been available for several years and the results of generally being very positive efforts. the inter protection provided by vaccination is over 80 percent, or there's often even over 90 percent probability that you won't develop shingles. of course vaccination also has potential side effects like local reactions on the upper arm at the injection side. but they're usually short and mild and minimal. if

you compare them with shingles, was it door to shade? charleston jones is also decided to get vaccinated as much as i don't want. i don't want to get that again. so for me, the question of whether or not to get vaccinated is already decided. i definitely, well during the global corona virus fund that make vaccination, so expensive stage, it can protect us from some dangerous infections. the w h o recommends guessing immunized against syria pets, enough measles component for example. but the worldwide the number of boxes and make the children is pulling 25000000 kids are currently not protected against it. syria testing us and hooping coal in countries that include india, nigeria and indonesia. reasons include violent conflicts, misinformation,

and the problem that makes interruption of existing vaccine programs. vaccination is also recommended against hepatitis which a text and liver and kills form is one and a half 1000000 people every year. there were different forms of it. vaccination is available against types, a and b. you can also take other preventive measures that hepatitis a virus likes to run riot on food that's not been thoroughly washed at a thrives an unclean tap water that can make us humans seriously sick. if i practice a, as in practice liver disease, which is course present part of a virus uses on specific symptoms, not at all patients. but in those who have symptoms, john, this loss of appetite tire. and this weakness joint pays are the most common

symptoms. and where is this virus most prevalent people in parts of asia, africa, southern europe, and in south and central america are particularly at risk. the good news is that 99 percent of hepatitis a cases heal on their own without any permanent damage to the liver. and infection results and lifelong immunity to the pathogen. hepatitis b and c viruses are much more dangerous. infections with them can also he along their own, but can turn chronic to interpret that is b and c is chronic and not properly treated. it might cost different zeros as infectious cancer on the worst case that in most cases it's transmitted somehow over the blocks either by sexual intercourse . or for example, by to to a wendy hygiene is not good enough. in particular, also blocks are transmitted into this kid off the recipient. vaccination can

protect you from hepatitis b. it's recommended for all those who frequently have sex with different partners for chronically ill or work in hospitals. ask about hygiene measures before getting medical or certain types of cosmetic treatment. so we're hepatitis a is common don't drink the tap water and always wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly. then hepatitis in any of its forms full of a much tougher time of it, the diseases can also be carried or caused by parasites like fleas, lice, or tape warns. and there are other organisms that can cause health issues to fun game. they usually colonize our skin, preferably our feet for our private parts. and excessive scrubbing tends to make the skin even more vulnerable to fungal infection. anti funding appointments can help wearing loose clothes and keeps affected areas as dry as possible. and

remember to wash your laundry. at 60 degrees celsius, we can usually get rid of fungal infections that affect our skin. but when they get inside us like into our lungs, they can turn serious. it's a growing problem worldwide. as the dealers who may go to a mode that can cause lung damage come to or is an emergency that causes blood poisoning will trip to congress. now, 4 months, which can invade the central nervous system, such fungal infections are of great concern to expense around the world. that fits will be in the fact that we paid to little attention to funky means for examples that there are very few drugs to counter infections because one doesn't. and that's a problem. if fungal infections become more common, as they are at the moment, then we have few weapons to fight them. that's been, will be in a good lesson that the items it's increasingly talk to the seeing infections with

asp. ajilisus feed me got tools for healthy people. the fungus is usually homeless . however, in those with weak immune systems or for us must suffer as it spoils, concludes, inflammation in the loans. however, the doctors often don't consider funky as a possible cause of symptoms, especially with patients who have asthma and suffer from costs any way. the mucus build up revealed and a problem cost could be, can be examined in the lap together with blood samples for evidence of mold using the website. in this mature your, you find the spores. if you find the ask for jealous this mold and ship, then you look at the blood coop and then you find antibodies against molar and discover games. you do a skin test and test for anti bodies against mold. so you arrive at the diagnosis of severe asthma with allergic bronco pulmonary asper jalissa has a speaking that's an immune system reaction to the fungal spose,

and it's one that leads to inflammation in the lungs. an extreme mucus production says, with a list of logs, empty, fungal drugs and cortisone can help the results of a new drug that can arrest the immune response. fortune of the such fungal infections already, but the difficult to detect unless you look for them specifically the same is true for a new fungus that can make people ill. the east candid or is the pathogen was 1st detected in 2009 and it's unclear where it originated officer. it's discovery in japan, canada to orest, the paid civil tenuously and various of the countries last year that will move in $5000.00 cases in the united states. it also continues to spread worldwide. this is another highly resistant to drugs come in and unusually for a fungus,

and it's one that can spread relatively efficiently from the patients. the patient it's endorsed by some patients, develop severe infections or difficult material and they can go on for months. so that's a bit of a horror scenario seen as it is some vision and host and value of the unusual thing, candid or is, can infect other people through contact infections. that's why the fungus can spread quickly. for example, in hospitals there's only one drug that's effective against it, new pathogenic funky being found all the time. this is the theme of album, it's getting warmer and warmer who's the couldn't find you. you can spread to regions where they were unknown before. and then as a result of the more dangerous, going to continue to spread severe fungal infection still only happen in isolated cases, the research as well. and that we urgently need to develop new anti fungal drugs. good hygiene is one way of to be infections of pain in hospitals. for example,

people are in for health and particularly at risk st cleaning regimes and this inspections reduce levels of potentially states for viruses and bacteria. hygiene like regular hand washing, also it protects us in everyday life. our fingers go everywhere and then we touch our faces. so what child usually about why has been wearing contact lenses for over 10 years. it's almost a miracle that you can still see in 2019. she came close to going blind in one i. she had developed cara, titus, corneal information. it was caused by her contact lenses and involves if i didn't know how dangerous such an infection can be, how soon it affects you on the line come. she had several operations cordial. transplants due to kara titus are performed regularly and center is like the university hospital in unit dominic, this is really not to be taken lightly. unfortunately, sometimes things take

a catastrophic turn and then not just with the corneal transplant, but with complete vision loss for those to see costing cara tide, as is rare, but contact lens, where's our 80 times more likely to get it. then others, many underestimate the risk. the cornea plays a decisive role in the refraction of light and therefore envision. it has no blood vessels, but lots of nerves and consists of 5 layers. the top one, the epic, de leon, is kept moist by tier fluid. it protects against bacteria and 4, and particles and membrane separated from the strong, the thickest layer, which is made mostly of water. another membrane covers the bottom layer. the endothelial which pumps water out of the cornea to keep it transparent. catchy door has also been using contact lenses every day for about 30 years. she knows the risks of cara. titus. hygiene is my top priority when i searching, moving and wearing lenses because i'm afraid of eye infection. so bacteria getting

into the alien and then i wouldn't be able to wear them any miller. smith's cotton con, she has regular eye examinations and her doctor has told her to seek treatment quickly . if worst comes to worst life to fall in love smiled. forms can be treated in a few days with moisturizing eye drops that contain antibiotics. severe forms with alterations, sometimes require therapies less than weeks and months. and sometimes a defect remains that can impair the patient's vision is to confirm. the risk of corneal inflammation can quickly rise to the longer you are contact lenses throughout the day without a break. and the higher the risk, especially with soft lenses in cottage door, is careful to always take a break is how i make sure that i the way them for more than 12 hours maximum. and if i never leave them in at night and then not unless it working at the computer, she prefers to use her classes much. when is your billing class at the computer?

and then it's sometimes i'm pleasant because your eyes drawing out. sometimes i don't put my license in the tool and then i get the feeling that my eyes are great for the open for english. and when applying makeup, make sure you put the contact lenses in 1st and then you'll make up points. he's done shrink. when she removes that, she does things the other way around. coffee door also, where's contact lenses that are renewed every month. so called soft monthly lenses . hot hot contracts ends as a mess up with the i tried them, but i couldn't tolerate them. so use self concept lenses now and talk to in julie about where is hard contact lenses. since having her corneal transplant, she has to have a check up every 6 months. the extra large literal lenses offer optimal protection and a special feature. so she between the contract lens and the surface of the i is a tiny reservoir of t is a reservoir about deficiencies. and if somebody could see

a little bit here, does the opposition have any advice about avoiding cara? titus. especially it's important to use high quality contact lenses. if it's a buffalo, it's important that those contact lenses fit properly. that's that means i also have a specialist who looks at the eyes every now and then the lens and courtney. i should never touch. it's very important they should remain the correct distance of part 100 and to mike for me to is perfect checked us. even switching from daily to monthly lenses without advice can be dangerous, usually about why used daily lenses until she graduated from high school. after that, she went traveling many, i switched to monthly lenses, so i wouldn't have to take a chance back. packed full of lens is abroad with me when they run some lessons. but even the smallest hygiene deficiencies can have serious consequences. the dream trip turned into a nightmare which did not pull fully. it was just rose. but did you ever had colonial inflammation?

you know, it can be really painful and kind of viruses, phone guy and to me, but i can trigger one. but 9 out of 10 corneo informations are caused by bacteria, pretty mouth issue. the comes problematic with what's called a su dominance infection. yeah, that's a german that readily develops resistance to antibiotics. and unfortunately, that causes over 90 percent of all contact lenses, infections, factories. and so it was, i think it's one of the fullest when an inflammation spreads to all layers of the cornea, the eyes anterior chamber can be exposed. besides this kind of, this means that a hole in the can arise and that the i may actually leak. that's how acute things got with you. you got dialogue in abu dhabi. she underwent emergency surgery, the damage cornea was removed and the i provisionally sealed with a residual graft, which consisted only of an episode, helium and stroma. the missing endothelium was then replaced at home, an international collaboration. from smith's bower is one of the few patients in

the world that have a composite cornea from to cotton and we'll say, continue. the good thing is, you see cause provision is now close to 100 percent, which is a great final result. sixty's usually of our now lives without any restrictions. it's funny, it was an experience i could have done without, but ultimately things turned out, well the by the way, we're now also on chip talk that i have or take that doesn't make your little bones today or we answer your questions and clips that are fun accurate and to the point, but also based on the latest research, want to discover even more from the world of science and follow us ad vw science. good hygiene, vaccinations, the little cat can help protects us from infections. you can also wear

a mask and use disinfectant to be extra careful. but we carry the best safe guard around inside of our new system. the world over its a common sight and many drug stores and pharmacies rows of shelves, stuff with products claiming to strengthen and support the immune system. lots of people take them regularly. the drum unit them inside 3 every morning in winter, just me my victim. indeed, 12 think, i think definitely it's, i mean i take vitamin c major. our immune system provides a sophisticated shield on the 1st line of defense as the skin and mucous membranes . together, they form the initial barrier against pathogens. mucous membranes cover surfaces that come into direct contact with microbes, such as those into bronchitis, loans, stomach, and intestines. the mucous membranes are home to defense,

so that actively seek out and destroy intruders. they can also produce proteins called site or kinds that activate the rest of our immune system. there like a chemical alarm. if this 1st barrier is overcome, then white blood cells so called glucose sites, take up to babble. they're found in the blood bone marrow and lymphatic system. t cells are one type of leukocyte. they can activate other types of immune cells by releasing specific substances, india and that can lead to the formation of anti bodies and special killer t cells. their job is to prevent more cells from being infected and to kill those that already have that the system is active long before we notice any symptoms says amino logistic cost involved in mom i was always working, but we mostly don't notice it because the bodies defenses are so effective if method pathogens are destroyed before they can make a sick. the immune system doesn't need special supplements. it's always active and

can't be strengthened with vitamin tablets. but to get fighting fit, it does need certain inputs. most need. i don't have to do anything special to activate it. you can of course we cannot directly because it's also a system with many needs. and if i don't fulfill them, then it can't work properly. and folks in the, in order to function well the immune system needs, among other things, the right nutrients. nutrition expert, christina also knows what's important. she works at the german university of prevention and health management inside book and a concession. there were several, i mean, specific nutrients like food late lot. it's important for the production of the immune systems antibodies teams and we find it in all kinds of green vegetables and among them green peppers, but also cabbage and celery health and quin. what else? dawkins 11, also important as a natural mix of vitamins from fresh fruits and vegetables along with sink,

which is found in beans. peas, lentils, oatmeal, eggs, and chicken think can help your body get over infections faster. in addition to proper nutrition, the immune system needs exercise its key to a well functioning lymphatic system. room for gibson guns emphasis found that a completely separate system in the body. it also has to flow, but it doesn't have a heart to drive my limbs. it works via muscle power and glimpse moves when you tense up or relax and muscle. so when i move, i also move the immune system to accomplish that goal. you should get moderate exercise several times a day if possible, and take a brisk walk or slow job 3 to 4 times a week, exercise to the point of exhaustion. however, it can be counter productive. the 3rd factor that plays a role in keeping your immune system healthy as sleep. many studies have shown how important that is. when you don't get enough sleep,

your body releases adrenalin. the hormone weakens the 2 cells that play a vital role in immune defense. it makes them sluggish. if you are getting sufficient sleep, on the other hand, your body will release positive substances such as site all kinds and your defenses function better. so in a nut shell, the right diet, regular exercise, and sufficient sleep, all play rolls and ensure in your immune system remains in top 4. you had it exercises good for the immune system. people who exercise frequently a better able to fight off infections. that's in good shape. tim is in charge of what counts. just joining us as soon benefits and know mostly upon physical activity. that's why less than the exercise we are doing now is called pro

peace. genesis your body, your whole endurance impacts have as many, many models at the same time. let me show you how step one place you have faith more than hip. why the parts step to do this quote in place of the hands of phone you for feats. step 3, walk backwards to extend your hips. keep it straight back. if we can do a step forward to a push up or hold as blank position, step 5. get to next your feet back to what's your hand until you're in this position. and then stand up straight is step 6. and now a bit foster the what's out did you hold back to straight to cool most of our activated and you hands on the flow and your fingers are spread out to

do this exercise for minimum 5 racks is a short break after that and repeat this cycle for 3 rounds you can get started with your training program now because that's it for in good shape this week. so you next time the
