why did they have all the time? i should just search for the day and take them out for the around the world. carl link star died, mass bleaching events are growing ever more common driven by a record breaking each end forming ocean. if the planet warms by $1.00 degrees celsius between 70 and 90 percent of risk globally, could di researchers are now rushing to map and inventory the world's remaining corals. all that and more coming up on this edition of this sewing and show on dw, welcome to tomorrow. today the quarterly based off the coast attribute in east africa,
11:31 am
or stainless for their beauty. but the unusually warm oceans of last summer had left behind patches of bleached stress. coral monitoring. those changes on a large scale isn't easy. but these researchers from the technical university, allows on switzerland, want to change that. they've mounted ordinary underwater cameras onto a metal frame, which they bring with them on their dice. a reference rope and gps data will help the software program create a location map of the images. later in the lab, we meet the research team back and loves on a software program, analyzes their video material and turns it into a 3 d model. it also records the different types of corals and what condition they're in. so current car, all monitoring cookies based on the methods that are very labor intensive, been difficult for the budget. so we put that a square on the on the corolla and then the sketch expects to look at the pictures
11:32 am
. and thanks to this submit of elegy, we can now cut off and make a cover fee of the reef of hundreds of meters in uh of sides, which was not possible before just using cameras to the very simple other scientists around the world are also trying to monitor coral reef, but so far they've only been able to monitor smaller areas or in less detail. gotten caught image where you're using a i to automatically identify carl's and carlos species. and that allows us to quantify the areas where there are corals and follow them over time and document the changes that are happening. don't you know? i think to, to design conservation strategies to the respective decision makers and the facts and dislikes need to be based on data and evidence that we can bring with dismissed ology. but they have a lot of work ahead of them. the team year to beauty are collaborating with neighboring countries to set up an international monitoring network. scientists
11:33 am
from florida and southeast asia are also interested in this new monitoring method to stay healthy, carl reeves depend on sea urchins, which feed on algae, the deplete oxygen. but in many oceans, despite the creatures are under threat from a deadly disease, along with their importance, the coral sea urchins are also vital to medical research. they've been used to study the mechanisms of cell division. in 2001, 3 scientists from britain and the us won the nobel prize for such discoveries. author, marine preachers are also helping revolutionize medicine and like some very special miracle worms low tide at 10 in the evening is the perfect time to hunt for a humble creature that could help revolutionize medicine. already called them arena, commonly known as the lug where the it's an ancient species.
11:34 am
hundreds of millions of years old, about as thick as a finger and 40 centimeters long. mostly they're used as fish. great. the, but there are people who desperately need a substance. this marine warm could provide. it's a substance that carries life, giving oxygen to the organs that needed a form of hemoglobin that's dissolved in the blood the for the last 20 years. well, waiting for something new, fun things i may improve the quality of the archives and we didn't get anything, you know. so it's really huge as a beginning, every book, people think that while you're going to talk about the marine biology, we're and we're on the, we are, we are a doctor, any going to talking about war? i'm in the hospital. that was 25 years ago. drunk todd was studying animals that
11:35 am
live in extreme environments and noticed something remarkable. i, i noticed that there was a warm of the beach cut off and you cut out money now. and this one was very interesting for me just to try to understand where i'm can breeze during low tide and i tied so it was at the beginning just hold on with our research just maureen biology question. and why don't i work on this question? and i phones, that's a world stop to greece some uh, between the low tide, it was just bracing when he was on the water like fish, lug rooms have gills and breathes under water, but they don't suffocate when the tide goes out. instead, they can survive for up to 6 hours without breathing. so i spoke to my attention on this work and i found this very special like which is nothing food on a red blood cell, which is don't type of blood typing, which is very similar off the district or was. busy it from you, man,
11:36 am
a ton saw had discovered an extraordinary oxygen storage system. convinced that harnessing this love, where am he ma, globin could transform medicine. he left his position as a university researcher and launched his own company. marina. it was like a really adventure to to arrive to date that so we can use this product for a full human use to day use biotech company as more than 40 employees. the substance they extract from leg when blood contains the super charged human globe and protein. a single small bottle can replace an entire bag. a donated blood at the university hospital in the city of the best in western friends, jani columbia specializes in kidney transplants. he's helping tests the effectiveness of this special love, warm hemoglobin. this product is very important because he can deliver within the
11:37 am
tissue oxygen. and of course, one of the 1st example is organ transplantation because we know that during the procedure of transportation, he or guns, no guns to no need oxygen. and then when you take them now gone from a efficient and before the trolls foundation, you have to preserve the oregon within a preservice in solution. and today these preserver, same solution are without oxygen a tour. so the rings is po and these very quickly called tell you and of course of action the, the, the oregon, it may a prison. some which we court is kimmie group f isn't in series, but let's is to say that the are gone. we suffer from the lack of oxygen. so this product, of course, is a great molecule renew, then cuts that can get either oxygen directly to the,
11:38 am
to cause the own guns in it. and in fact, we prove that the motor tool was safe, but also ins. we add reality some that prove that works. organ transplants are just one possible application. in theory, the wording derived pima globin could be used wherever tissues in the body are starved of oxygen. these animation shows how it could work. human human globe and inside red blood cells can hold for oxygen molecules at a time lug where mima, globin is dissolved in the blood and can transport almost 40 times as much oxygen the leg wherever he mcgue. logan is also much smaller than human red blood cells, so it can transport oxygen even when the blood vessels are narrowed or blocked. that could be helpful in treating strokes. it's already been successfully tested in kidney transplants. you know, we can imagine a band shelf,
11:39 am
i technician just res auction guy, and you can see is just coming from the bus because the motor was that we color were having such an oxygen carrier. we knew i was its own station to say ok, look one not to use it as a blood substantial, but uh, i mean uh, even if the security code is only 16 in, in, in 12 o'clock it's, it's, it's in which st. george, i think he makes a huge nobility. it's, it's very important from the sand to the operating room, the already called the marina might hold the key to a medical revolution every year, more than 100000 people around the world receive on like saving pork and transplants. but there's still a serious shortage of donor organs in germany, some 8500 seriously new people are waiting for the gift of on
11:40 am
this is what the lead of all it looked like. not all too long ago, as though she was 19 months pregnant in her own words, her liver was failing, and fluid was collecting inhabitants. 15 years ago, hepatitis had caused her own liver to fail have. she received a transplant, but eventually the donor living also began to fail these days you have to go to the university hospital in cuba once a week to have that fluid drain to contest the. i know it's mean that if you need to be leaving 2010 definitely affects your quality of life. you're not really part of things anymore. bombing beyond the fuel against them, you can't do things. most people do just confuse physically the actual. i feel like i'm slowly losing touch with the rest of the world. thank you. i'm booked here and that's uh, heavier for me. i'm. i've already been lucky once and received a donor organ. i don't know if i'll be that fortunate again. what is it? i hope i will be because i'm not really done with living,
11:41 am
but of course i think about what will happen if i don't get one thing. sort of a novel disability. years of waiting for a donor liver have left their mark time for a bit of strength training in those products right now, a good squeeze with your other hand of just talking elidah violet isn't ready to give up with our fluid back until she's come to the university hospital to speak to some high school students about organ donation. let's keep the mucus card mentioned . it's a way to help people because at that point you don't need your organs yourself anymore on his meal one. come on, i mentioned have many people don't realize that oregon donations are gift of life. the students here have never met anyone who's waiting for transplant scales on toy . if it would be great if this were over in a good way of course, limitations, then are there any questions, those at this point, she didn't know that just 9 days later she'd be receiving that all important phone
11:42 am
call. a donor, oregon had been found it was an emotional moment. for 2nd mind, it came to mind i pictured my children crying. that was awful. i do. for me, the situation was simple. i was exhausted. i was glad to have a decision to make because i just couldn't go on anymore, but i was worried about what my children might have to deal with on scotch. the 2nd transplant went without a hitch. she spent a week in the hospital and now comes back for weekly check it. she doesn't know who gave her that 2nd gift of life. that information is confidential. good morning morning. how's it going? great, i'm doing great. the swelling has gone down in ultra sound, shows how the new liver is working, lead a virus, we'll have to take medication for the rest of her life to suppress her immune system. otherwise, her body will reject the donor, oregon. that might,
11:43 am
it's easy to use, but it needs to look on. when someone regains their quality of life, you'll see how amazing a transplant can be. i wish more people could benefit from this or it's in therapy that can give the gift of life quality of life. and mrs. valez is a great example of that new teaching kind of pull pallets instead. this device don't time to celebrate with our 2 children and their partners. when you have 3 birthdays in your, you know and lots of presents. elidah valez had already decided against a living donor transplant like from one of her children. because she didn't want to put their health, that was the 2nd transplant. was her last chance. you just i feel fabulous. that's really the only way to describe it. it's hard to express how happy i am and how great i feel. lucas has been on the course me gauge today, she can go for a walk without the thought of death on the back of her mind. she's grateful to the
11:44 am
donor who gave her another chance that life. and she's made a lot of plans for the future, leaving the lights, you to call me my plan to make the most all life and the future. and if leaving, i'm to therapy to start over. i do. i don't want to keep living the way i did before and i want to embark on a new microphone on for noise meetings again. for now, she's decided to start looking for her dream home. and to finally do a bit of traveling again. embracing new experiences can be part of what makes us happy. find roy gland also plays a role because it helps and regulate your body's hormonal balance. ready if you're feeling tire and depressed or unmotivated and underactive, thyroid could be part of the problem. or if you were to close on a from afghanistan, had a question about that. what
11:45 am
happens if you haven't underactive thyroid gland? that's 1st check out what a firewood gland looks like. it's shaped like a butterfly and has to moves along with storing iodine. it also produces hormones like fi. roxanne sinusoid hormones help control many processes in your body, including growth in children, metabolism and regulating he conservation and heat loss in your cells. thyroid hormones can dia, lead to blood vessels, affect your blood pressure and even make your heart beat faster. they help prevent bone loss called osteoporosis. thyroid hormones also play an important role in kidney god and liver function. so the thyroid gland is a hard worker, and to cyber a disease can cause all sorts of problems. and underactive side right,
11:46 am
is generally caused by an infection iodine deficiency can also we can the fibroid as a result, it doesn't produce enough firewood hormones. their production is regulated by a hormone produced by the pituitary gland in the brain. if the thyroid gland is weakened, the pituitary gland tries to signal it to maintain normal thyroid hormone levels. but that only works to a point individually. the pituitary gland can no longer compensate. the a blood test can show whether you have an underactive, thyroid gland. certain medications can help treat in underactive cy, right? but they have to be taken every day to protect your thyroid gland. it's a good idea to make sure you have enough time in your diet. iodized salt can help
11:47 am
and so can dairy products as well as sea food, such a salmon. if you start gaining weight, even though you're not eating more than usual, if you're constantly tired and fuel cold easily, your thyroid gland might be to blame. it might not be producing enough of those crucial hormones. why do you have a science question then send it to us as a video, text or voice message. if we answer it on the show, we'll send you a little surprised. that's a thank you to come on. just ask more than a quarter of people in germany have foreign roots, a migration background, many of them feel they're not treated as one all by dr. is found in the hospital. racial bias can be a problem and diagnosis to medical textbooks almost exclusively feature. why people
11:48 am
so does medicine have a race problem? the mist diagnosis rate was higher when it came to doc has dental patients. so what's up with race? white people are still the reference point in medicine even today, and this has consequences in clinical practice in an emergency, you can see that a patients lips may have 10 blue redness or a rush can be assign of inflammation. these parameters can be hard to, to detect, and people with black skin when i'm in a emergency room and i can only look for us things or symptoms that i was taught, the consequences put could potentially be that i missed diagnose something that i, i'm the diagnose some things that means that i probably don't end up making the right decisions when it comes to treatment. doctor f. so notion grew,
11:49 am
wants to change that field of expertise, skin of color, metrology. when we look at our textbooks that i learn from them, you do see ever a presentation off lighter skin tone. the doctor works at the sherry tay hospital in berlin, just like highlights the hooley. he has loan being an advocate against racism and mets, and if you look on the media or, or the even the activities in social media. but even in the print media or that it's very frequent to that. they used to deal with typing materials. and this was even with this, with any of the fiction to cease diseases such as monkey pokes are often showing on black skin even in 2022. when the virus broke out weld wide, especially in europe in the us, affecting many white people. the virus is called monkey pulse because it was 1st
11:50 am
discovered in the lap monkey in denmark. it can spread to humans as even those this just like the corona virus. however, it's not monkeys, but shrews and rodents, the sites to be the host animals. and in fact, other creatures and humans, even though the virus originates from west and central africa, it is long since spread world wide. many white people in europe and the us also fell ill. but the media showed almost exclusively photos of black people. according to the world health organization, the wood monkey pox can be seen as racist and stigmatizing, especially among white people. it seems to produce stereotypical images that equate monkeys parks in africa. the fact that only others are affected by the disease in the eyes of white people is a phenomenon known as other ring in research. the w h o now recommends the
11:51 am
abbreviation m parks. and we have no to on the estimates, the power of visibility because many of the things we learn are unconscious and based on pictures and visibility pallet severely has gained a lot of experience at the clinic. he says when patients don't understand jim and this often leads to misunderstandings and discrimination. and there's often a lack of training translators, the results to little information, incorrect treatment as if it didn't matter if the patients don't understand exactly what it's all about. i was even invited in many cases, to go to translations. i can speak very weak, more look, that's not the rhetoric. but i was invited to patients coming from iran coming from i've got this done for breakfast because they believe i can speak all
11:52 am
the foreign languages. and this something, what i mean desk is a part of it and says to chanel or organizational risk is our discrimination. because you notice and you accept an inferior access to knowledge and this i think is an extra dom, it totally just as soon as shane cru offers information privately on social media for people of color and at the clinics. she now also provides consultation for skin of color metrology. uh, the 1st institution who does have a special space for am having patients with i'm diagnosed good symptoms. and what you really trying to do is just create a space for those people who are approaching. you can come to me, which is through the work up and, and the goal is to come to a proposal to come to
11:53 am
a diagnosis. i just imagine you want to study mass, but can't see all the formulas, diagrams, and graphics. people who are blind to face that on a daily basis to overcome those barriers to studying math. the university of mont book in germany is now working on making math education more accessible. but what is this and what does an illustration or it's a high purple lloyd. oh, okay. have you ever held one of these before? the people who are blind use their sense of touch to proceed complex geometric forms for years. now if i click on has been providing support to visually impaired my students back when she started the hurdle scene. huge either had been done. if you're blind, how can we work with the graphic or understand and perceive geometry or mentally visualize the 3 d shadow cast by
11:54 am
a body of rotation or the image and something flushed in 10 years ago, at the phillips university of my book in germany, a blind student asked her about adaptive learning resources for students with visual impairments, but she couldn't find anything about the rest of my to me and my student wanted to study math. so of course, i'm not going to send him away. we decided to come up with something with all graphic elements can't be depicted in braille, so she decided to get a tactile image printer. it uses an infrared lamp to heat up geometric shapes, and heat sensitive paper, creating a tac toe image that can be read with the fingertips. the image can also be placed on a tech to know an interactive reader for people who are blind or visually impaired . and relate to a database which is supplied with information from the university lecture that allows blind students to understand what the graphics are representing doesn't mean
11:55 am
when you put your finger on a specific point, it reads the information linked to it because a lot of people who are blind and people who are cited collaborate on the project. it's taken off and meanwhile, get support from industry foundations. the use of one and we want to create a portal, a database that contains all of our materials so that it can also be used at adapted by other universities. you might not disclose to income over time, they'll be importing and adapting important math textbooks. so that they can be used by blowing students. it can be hard work, but it's exciting to try every problem. there's a solution, you just have to look for it and to take it step by step in time for a quick break there. close that team working on a project that matters to all of them.
