hello and welcome to technology regardless of who you are and whether you live in moscow or anywhere else in the world we are right there one holiday which we're all hoping for good health to keep us in tip top. find the latest improvements in russia medical science. health. good health. breakthrough.

technology it's not surprising that they were. the first. to. improve. with previous. later in the decade disc valves made their debut these unable to

more natural flow and lessen damage to blood cells by the late one nine hundred seventy s. more or less modern day by at the scene but these still work perfect. whatever the position of leaflets inside the ring they create some amount of resistance so the pressure on the heart is generally as high as thirty forty or even fifty millimeters of mercury we figured out that it would be impossible to remove this obstacle as long as the leaflets were in the middle of the blood flow so we decided to place them outside the ring. for that the doctors turned to med in russia's premier heart valve maker those coming off the lines here are made of what's called monolithic pure living carbon the materials obtained from ordinary natural gas as it's burned at temperatures up to fifteen hundred degrees celsius special of carbon

collects on the walls of the reactor that's then collected and passed on for further reworking. to mean different elsewhere pirelli to carbon is based on a graphic foundation. that is a result. structure. when the show is on damage there but the whole thing falls apart whenever there's a tiny crack. material is better protected against such problems. getting that pure limit carbon they need is only the first step in the process before these black into rings can become potentially life saving valves they must be cut and chiseled into the right shape. thank you in the fact these are alternately going to be implanted inside someone's heart the repeatedly long the wait for pins. unlike many other.

engines are made entirely out of pure carbon that means that not only is the suturing but the leaflets are also made from super strong material to get the flap shaped just right down using special equipment and that goes on to be checked and cleaned once again from this point the two main components. are put together in an absolutely room over the years the company has sold tens of thousands of their previous models in more than twenty five countries but thanks to their work with the center is a step above the rest by creating a totally unobstructed channel through the middle to improve the performance of biological valves with the long life and reliability of mechanical one. form or shape is the same as that human body which enables even laminar flow

without any of. these could be fully matches the functions. we've just started clinical trials which we intend to run for a year and then start mass production sales. so far only a handful of the brand new have been placed in the hands of capable surgeons when they do eventually hit the market will likely be plenty of demand in two thousand and eleven there were some twenty five thousand placements surgeries in russia alone and to avoid becoming another of those statistics you should do as i say and not as i do for like this may be tasty but in excess it could lead to any number of health problems all the starch and sugar can wreak havoc on your teeth and might just land you under dental surgeons operating lights but they are russian ingenuity even that doesn't have to be as nail biting as it used to be for many people there's nothing more stressful than a visit to the doctor but many are turning to new technology to soothe their patients nerves more invasive surgeries and more in. unnecessary because

these are often perfect for surgery in the mouth because as it slices the laser cutter rises instantaneously such diode based dicer is have been around for a while but this one being used just outside of moscow is of a new breed. which hit the market earlier in two thousand and twelve. thermal optics surgery based on the nano carbonized zation of light guides feedback and a high power laser allows us to significantly reduce the time it takes to perform a surgery. but this means tissues consume less energy which in turn reduces the risk of causing thermal damage to the tissues. this is especially important in operations on the oral mucosa since these tissues are very fine and delicate. responsible for that high tech slicer partnership that's based on technology. the

streets of the northern capital are icy in winter months these are related tech of some of the city's scientists. principle that underlies many laser scalpels dates back to the eighty's and has its roots at the st petersburg state university of information technology mechanics and optics despite what many people think don't make incisions with the laser beam. do the cutting previously imprecise. the laser. creative output the temperature could and did throughout the course of an operation based on the know how here the st petersburg institute. which they feel is head and shoulders above the competition. device supports in its feedback system controlled the temperature of the areas being operated on. depending on the required temperature.

here in st petersburg the testing out different fiber tippin figuration to see which give the most ideal performance for certain. materials can be used in the tips but depending on how much of the laser light they have varying temperatures. cutting edge research takes place in st petersburg through the company's production all the way across the globe. just outside of boston massachusetts in the united states there's a truly international team the research and development carried out by the russian partners this allows these innovators to lean on the individual companies. primarily responsible for innovation research development and commercialization of the product in the russian federation. responsible for manufacturing and commercialization in international markets and we think that this is very optimal

scheme to maximize success of the project because it allows us to. maximize the strengths of each parties and their. respect. and also leverage their capital resources most efficiently. but the company is currently working on a new. designed especially for cutting through hard. for a different one in theory that means dental surgeon have to invest in an entirely separate consul for different purposes. devices produced by a closest competitors in terms of power are much larger and much more complicated than the ones that we made some competitors make similarly sized devices but they're much less powerful than ours so our devices are quite well placed in the

market they're compact easy to assemble highly efficient and can accurately control the optical. as you can see here the laser easily able to pierce a piece of wood with only three. there in russia the company and its technology is getting recognition. despite having only been set up a few years ago. which is essentially a big tech idea. you

know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you don't know i'm tom harpur welcome to the big picture.

academic here that could all be changing well it comes to science and technology it's hard to find as prolific of an institution as moscow state university the hollowed halls here have been some of the globe's greatest thinkers and it was here back in the late one nine hundred sixty s. that. teamed up with if you move lieberman to prove the existence of the electric potential difference across mitochondrial membranes that was a confirmation needed to help earn a british scientist the nobel prize perhaps more importantly that discovery could unlock the founder of youth for assault. to understand aging we have to look inside each individual cell among the various or. the most important for our purposes is the mitochondria these power plants. oxygen species are also generated the build up of these so called. can damage already named d.n.a. in protein to be largely responsible. and his team

hypothesized that this could be cut down by. doing so allows mitochondria interior to attract the. membrane which would otherwise. research. since that time the topic has become a bit of a family affair. getting involved now although the underlying idea originated. it wasn't put into practice until the one nine hundred ninety s. . we were in the. principal. fact it was michael. cohen. and

immediately told him that it wasn't a very good choice in terms of the. by then he already made a lot of progress with. just threw his hands up and told me that his investors wouldn't forgive him if he changed the substance halfway through and said they were going to give it a shot it takes ten to fifteen years to introduce a new medicine unfortunately a lot of the time was lost in my opinion however no one can deny. our idea. since sept first for an attempt to bombard mitochondria with antioxidants talk to school cho and other moscow state university researchers have been hard at work coming up with an antioxidant and delivery system pair that shows better results. from mike murphy who tried vitamin. q school in his life have hitched their wagon to a substance well accustomed to dealing with the build up of lots of oxygen plant

chloroplasts. the thought being that since our green growing friends produce large amounts of oxygen for their own antioxidants must be up to the task of keeping dangerous reactive oxygen species to a minimum. the resulting compound which they call s k q is reported to be hundreds of times more effective than any of the other variations previously. kill all this is based on the prep is issued but it's programmed in our genetic makeup to slowly but surely kill off our cells and in the end. disrupt that program and you might just. more than that but you know medicine succeed in extending human life in the wood or more importantly stone the onset of aging at least that's what it doesn't anymore and we're cells are so there is a good chance but it's not as certain fact yet so as a scientist i am obliged to have my doubts but we're working on is rather

a hypothesis but we have to try and we definitely will. difficult to test for signs of aging directly researchers do so by monitoring changes in behavior over time younger healthier rats actually explore their surroundings but as they get older they tend to explore less and camped out in the. preliminary tests have shown positive results in arresting this change in trials are still needed before we see an overarching fountain of youth drugs like a pill or injection. and decided to take it step by step. now if we were really lucky to have discovered it one can use this substance to make eyedrops and then it is efficient enough when administered typically this makes for a much easier path to the market. in order to commercialize the technology a company called. the medicine is only dropped into the eyes of potential adverse side effects are much smaller than with something like a tab. traditional tests on animals and then human clinical trials have to be

passed the go ahead from russian health regulators earlier in two thousand and twelve and at the moment they're working on having it approved by western health agencies. the resulting eyedrops are targeted at relieving chronic dry eyes this interim can lead to increasingly impaired vision and in some cases eventually blindness but these russian made drops are able to do much more than. there are techniques to find out how many says have died as a result of. death the. different picture when used extensively they greatly decrease the number of tissue sections affected by potosi. like any true scientist dr. as the first guinea pig even before he got the russian regulatory green light in my opinion the results pretty much speak for themselves.

i'm very short sighted i started suffering from cataracts and i've had for years. as a result of using the eye drops the cataract disappeared my myopia dropped from minus seven down to minus three point five diopters and my pressure has reduced which is a sign that the glaucoma has grown much less acute. with russian regulatory approval in hand though my detect has slowly but surely started getting their eyedrops to market they're intending to go it alone without linking up with a major pharma distributor. they've already sold twenty five thousand bottles to various pharmacies. innovators this is just the first step in fact we have plans to grow into a large pharmaceutical company with a wide range of products to treat you. we'll have one thing in common.

this. direction. and pushes ahead with the next generation of. medication. one hundred grams of the. big medical innovation the city of. innovation centers like the park here bragging rights as well. many young is one of the

operation simulators from a dynamic local company called. blood free operation. are one thing operation is done and then having a go at it yourself is the. students and even young doctors can't. simulate. the company's ever improving. different simulators ideal for practicing minimally invasive surgeries at the institutes and clinics the technology the difference is. we always keep a record of mistakes thanks to the video we were able to follow. it also shows the mistakes. possible impact on a given surgery this exercise feels very true to life. terms of working with manipulating. receiving feedback including tissue resistance all of this

enables the students to feel like a real surgeon in action. that may sound odd but the human chemical processing complex is home to the inspiration behind those trainers at the so-called technology president companies like get tax breaks and other business friendly incentives to spur on the development of new ideas and projects before they came out with the medical. with a different kind of virtual reality. truck simulators for russian government agencies that their drivers need more training before hitting the road working hand in hand with the company that supplies cargo trucks for the russian military and emergency services ministry. actually. with hydraulic systems and writes the programming code needed to recreate testing situations for inexperienced. according to company. a much greater range of motion and more precisely replicates how.

various road conditions and experience. but after a few laps around the training ground even someone as helpless. could perform a few tricky maneuvers. but military and truck drivers aren't the only ones that could benefit from a little more practice behind a fictional wheel before getting out there where that might also develop simulators . transporters drivers. to practice in close to real life conditions it will contain everything one would find. however for the forward thinking. getting the patient there is only half the. only covers one. patient from the starting point. where he can be given medical assistance so the

simulator practice. transporting the patient. to other. point. surgery. the next logical step. to make training manikin secure towards the other aspects of medicine. the company is working on creating a whole training complexes that will cover the more than one hundred different medical branches needed for russia's health care system. and having a look and feel just right is of utmost importance the more realistic the training scenario the more useful it is when the time comes to put that knowledge to use. with that in mind the company's production facility designers are constantly working to improve them in addition to realistic structures they've also been working on a skin like covering that will mimic the feel of cutting through real life. still rather early days for i don't train mannequins they come out with is getting

more and more advanced as well as becoming more lifelike. present his production ranges from simple c.p.r. training mannequins to complex robots. skilled computer programming is the real brains of the operation. talented team of creative programmers all the simulated guts on the inside would be more or less useless. every one of their mannequin models is built for a concrete order to be a specific section or the whole body all together depending on what it's designed for engineers can replicate the body's various systems and organs as closely as possible to real life compressors are used to mimic breathing. fluids for cardiovascular. systems and servo motors for joint movement and react to the doctor's actions this allows programmers to recreate just about any problem imaginable. in the world there are four major

companies in the business of making medical simulators. naturally. sure it does their best to stand out as it's very positive about this kind of competition because we believe that it benefits the end consumer the more competing companies there are including russian developers the better it is for the medical equipment market. so we feel that our devices are better than foreign ones in a number of ways by new companies first and they have been tailored specifically for the russian health care system of that secondly we have introduced a new concept. with a number of ports which is unique to our company. with a full scale model of an operating room together with a robot this is something our foreign competitors have yet to emulate that will be as macclassic and put into but i don't isn't stopping there they recently got big backing for a project to build one of the largest innovative medical complexes in russia for

now the plans are only on paper but they soon hope to break ground on a center that would bring many of the globe's leading institutions to. so with ideas and medical advances you've seen today we hope that your next visit to the doctor and this holiday season will be very merry indeed with this edition of technology update we'll see you next time so then enjoy the ride and. download the official ati application to yourself choose your language stream quality and enjoy your favorites. and enjoy your away from your television or it just doesn't matter how would your mobile device if you could watch on t.v. anytime anywhere. wealthy british style.
