materials could be used for heart valves the idea was then improved in the one nine hundred sixty s. with the advent of the so-called cage ball valve which could be implanted inside the heart itself unlike with previous models later in the decade disc 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 inch precious premier heart valve maker those coming off the lines

here are made of what's called monolithic pure alliterate 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 been collected and passed on for further reworking. but the main difference is that elsewhere pirelli to carbon is based on a graphic foundation. that is a result. structure. when the show isn't damaged. but the whole thing falls apart whenever there's a tiny crack. material is better protected against such problems thank you. for getting that purely to carbon they need is only the first step in the process before these black into rings can become potentially life saving valves . because chiseled into the right shape. in the fact these are

going to be implanted inside someone's heart repeatedly the way for pin point accuracy. unlike many other. inches 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. above. by creating a totally unobstructed channel through the middle they improve the performance of biological valves with a long life and reliability of mechanical one. form or shape is the

same as that human body which enables even. 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 valves 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 placement surgeries in russia alone and to avoid becoming another of those statistics you should do as i say not as i do who like this may be tasty but in excess it can 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 knew even that doesn't have to be as nailed. that 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. more invasive surgeries. to make the necessary cuts these are often perfect for surgery in the mouth because as it slices the laser. but this one being used just outside of moscow is of a new breed. which at the market 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 these tissues are very fine and delicate.
1:35 am
response. is a global partnership that's based on technology pioneered here in st petersburg the streets of the northern capital and winter months the laser related tech of some of the city's scientists is red hot. the principle that underlies many laser scalpels . and has its roots petersburg state university of information technology mechanics . don't make incisions with the laser. cutting previously. created. the temperature could end. which they feel. above the competition.
1:36 am
devices. that control the temperature of the being operated on. depending on the required temperature. here in st petersburg they're testing out different fiber to configurations 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 absorb the varying temperatures. current cutting edge research takes place in st petersburg. the company's production is located all the way across the globe. just outside of boston massachusetts in the united states where the truly international team is the research and development carried out by their russian partners this allows these innovators to lean on the strengths of the individual companies. photonics is primarily responsible for innovation research development
1:37 am
and commercialization of the product in the russian federation tonics is responsible for manufacturing and commercialization in international markets and we think that this is a very. to maximize success of the project because it allows us to. maximize the strengths of each party's in their respective graphic and also leverage their capital resources most efficiently here in the u.s. the lasers are marketed as. the mother you see here is designed for soft tissue surgery but the company is currently working on a new fiber designed especially for cutting through hard. to simply swap out the soft tissue scalpel for a different one in theory that means dental surgeons board have to invest and then entirely separate consul for different purposes. devices produced by the closest competitors in terms of power are much larger and. much more complicated than the
1:38 am
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. system as you can see here. to pierce a piece of wood with only three pull through about fifteen meters the resulting hole is smaller and more accurate with other surgical drills in theory such. could be used for pain this cavity drilling. it was exhibited with. all the devices they were produced intended for sale in the russian market were completely sold out over the course of the two days of the show. here in russia the company and its technology is getting
1:39 am
recognition and not just from buyers despite having only been set up a few years ago. which is essentially a big tech idea clearing house the status and advantages of joining that club only helped push the company. into the future. british.
1:40 am
markets why not so folks can. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike's cause or for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into cons a report on. something. law ease been huge. thousands of meters of choice control. the law. that is a lure for many. but dangerous even to those who keep it to distance.
1:41 am
on. morning news today violence is once again flared up the phone these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. china corporations are on today. well sleepless this month high tech means could help with the latest laser cutters a light heart rushing innovators are working hard to keep you healthy for some companies it's been a winding road from car simulators to cutting edge training systems for others it's been a lifetime of work along the mysteries of the self checkout aisle on technology of . the future please.
1:42 am
please . major university is a variable treasure trove of knowledge in the form of both respected professors and millions upon millions of books however there is just not enough time in the day
1:43 am
all our lives to get through them all but thanks to the labor of one tireless academic here that could all be changing 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 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 fountain of youth for us all. to understand we have to look inside each individual cell among the various organelles the most important for our purposes is the mitochondria as these power plants pump out energy for the reactive oxygen species are also generated the build up of these so called mitochondria can damage
1:44 am
already named d.n.a. and protein which is thought to be largely responsible for the physiological effects of aging. and his team hypothesized that this could be cut down by. the possibly. doing so allows mitochondria interior to attract the. compound combination. which would otherwise absorb the fat soluble antioxidants. chemicals. in the wake of. research such positive. since that time the topic has become a bit of a family affair with the good doctor getting involved although the underlying originated back it wasn't put into practice until the one nine hundred ninety s. . we were in the first principle. fact it was michael. cohen. occident
1:45 am
immediately told him that it wasn't a very good choice in terms of the anti-oxidant but by then he'd already made a lot of progress with that substance so he 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. unfortunately a lot of that time was lost in my opinion however no one can deny him the honor of being the first to try out our idea. since at first for. the country with antioxidants dr 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 he tried vitamin a and q. school has hitched their wagon to
1:46 am
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 their own antioxidants must be up to the task of keeping dangerous reactive oxygen species to a minimum. the resulting compound which they call a 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 that it's programmed in our genetic makeup to slowly but. and you might just. in extending human life more importantly. it least that's what it doesn't anymore. so there is a good chance. a certain fact yet so as
1:47 am
a scientist to have my doubts what we're working on is rather a hypothesis but we have to try it with. researchers do so by monitoring changes in behavior over time younger healthier rats actually explore their surroundings. to explore. change. i've decided to take it step by step how much. one can use this substance to make. efficient enough to administer it typically. a much easier path to the market. or to commercialize the technology a company. dropped into the potential adverse side effects are.

traditional. and then human clinical trials had to be passed. earlier in two thousand and twelve the moment they're working on having it approved by western health agencies. are targeted at relieving chronic. increasingly impaired vision. of these russian made drops are able to do much more . there are techniques to find out how many died as a result of. the. death. when used extensively they greatly decrease the number of tissue sections. as the first guinea pig even before he got the russian regular. in my opinion the
1:49 am
results pretty much speak for the. very short sighted i started suffering from cataracts. for years. as a result of using the eye drops the cataract disappeared. down to minus three point five. reduced. with russian regulatory approval in hand. but surely started getting their eyedrops to market their intention to go without linking up with a distributor. they've already sold twenty five thousand bottles to various pharmacies. innovators this is just the first step in fact. to grow into a company with a wide range of products. will have one thing in common.
1:50 am
this i believe. in that direction. and pushes ahead with the next generation of. medications. the city of. innovation.
1:51 am
is one of the operations from a dynamic local. operation. and then have. these robotic simulators. different simulators for practicing minimally invasive surgery. the technology the differences. thanks to the video. also shows the mistakes. impact. this exercise
1:52 am
feels very true to life. all of this enables the students. but the. complex is home to the inspiration behind the. president companies get tax breaks and other business. development projects before they came out with a. different kind of. truck simulators for russian government. drivers training before hitting the road working hand in hand with the company. trucks for the russian military and emergency services ministry. hydraulic systems and writes the programming code needed to recreate. according to company.
1:53 am
a much greater range of motion and more precisely replicates how. conditions experience. but after a few laps around the training ground even. perform a few tricky maneuvers. but military and truck drivers aren't the only ones that could benefit from more practice behind a fictional wheel before getting out there. also develop. transport drivers. to practice in close to real life conditions. everything one would find. however for the forward thinking. patient is only half the. patient from the starting point. so the simulator
1:54 am
practice. transporting the patient. to other doctors from that point on. surgery. the next logical step. to make training gear towards the other aspects of. the company is working on creating a training complex more than one hundred different medical branches needed for russia's health care system. in feel just right. most important the more realistic the training the more useful it is when the time comes to put that knowledge to use. the company's production facility designers are constantly working to improve. 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
1:55 am
rather early days for i. as well as becoming more lifelike. his production ranges from simple c.p.r. training to complex robots. skilled computer programming is the real brains of the operation. talented team of creative programmers simulated. everyone. for a concrete. together. possible to real life compressors are used to mimic breathing. for cardiovascular. systems. for joy. to the doctor's actions. programmers to recreate just about any problem imaginable.
1:56 am
in the world there are four major companies in the business of making medical simulators. naturally each manufacturer their best to stand out. about this kind of competition because we believe that it benefits the. competing companies there are. the better it is. we feel that our devices are better. in number of ways. specifically for the russian health care system i knew of that secondly we have introduced a new concept you know that 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 as a business and couldn't but i don't isn't stopping there they recently got big
1:57 am
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 that'll do it for this edition of technology update we'll see you next time so then enjoy the right. to. do we speak your language. news programs and documentaries in spanish
1:58 am
matters to you breaking news a little too much of angles stories. so you hear. the spanish find out more visit. mission free critique a should three times for charges free. range month free. three stooges free. mostly blunt just plug in video for your media projects a free media dog our t.v. dot com you.
