we all like that one holiday which we're all hoping for good health to keep. the latest improvements in russian medical science. they announced it's the first replacement surgery with a brand new. history with. technology it's not surprising that they were at the heart of any big news on the topic. traditionally speaking. the best performance. is relatively young as the delicate tissue tends to tear as

a result mechanical valves are often the way to go and that which is just the most recent evolution of these men made. the first mechanical. back in one thousand fifty two. definite limitations and they proved that synthetic materials could be. proved in the one nine hundred sixty s. with the advent of the so-called. which could be implanted inside the heart itself unlike with previous models later in the decade made their debut. but these still work perfect. for the position of. they create some amount of resistance. the pressure is generally as high as thirty forty or even fifty millimeters of mercury
8:32 am
we figured out that it would be impossible to remove this obstacle as long as the leaflets were in the middle of the blood so we decided to place them outside the ring. for. those coming off the lines here. the materials obtained from ordinary natural gas. temperatures up to fifteen hundred degrees. after 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 as a result. structure. in the show is undamaged. but the whole thing falls apart whenever there's a tiny crack. material is better protected against problems.
8:33 am
like 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. in the fact these are really going to be implanted inside someone's heart repeatedly the way for pinpoint accuracy. however unlike many other valves out there many 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 the ring and the leaflets are put together in an absolutely room over the years the company has sold tens of thousands of
8:34 am
their previous models in more than twenty five countries but thanks to their work with. this new valve 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 once the. whole shape is the same as that human body which enables even. without any water. to 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 place in the hands of capable surgeons when they do eventually hit the market they'll 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
8:35 am
i do for 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. 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. more invasive surgeries. are now using lasers to make the necessary cuts these are often perfect for surgery in the mouth because as it slices the laser. have been around for a while but this one being used just outside of moscow is of a new breed. which hit the market early in two thousand and twelve. thermal optic 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
8:36 am
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. response. is a global partnership that's based on technology pioneered here in st petersburg the streets of the northern capital in winter months. some of the city's scientists. and has its roots at the st petersburg state university of information technology. cutting previously.
8:37 am
the temperature could and. which they feel. the competition. with. control the temperature of the being operated on. depending on the required temperature. different configurations. for certain. materials can be used in the tip but depending on how much. the. current cutting edge research takes place in. the company's production. of boston massachusetts in the united states there's
8:38 am
a truly international research and development carried out by the. individual companies. are responsible for innovation research development and commercialisation of the product in the russian federation. responsible for manufacturing and commercialization in international markets and we think. very optimal scheme to. the project because it allows us. to. maximize the strengths of each party's in their respective else and also leverage. capital resources most efficiently here in the us marketed as. surgery but the company is currently working on a new. designed especially for cutting through hard.
8:39 am
to simply swap out the soft tissue scalpel for a different one in theory that means dental surgeons board 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 pull through about fifteen meters. and more accurate with other surgical drills. could be used for pain this cavity drilling. it was exhibited.
8:40 am
this year all the devices they were produced 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 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. our lasers into the future.
8:41 am
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. the secret lover touring. was able to build a most sophisticated robot which fortunately doesn't give a darn about anything mission to teach me the creation of why you should care about humans and. this is why you should care only. speak your language and not a day in. the news programs and documentaries in spanish matters to you

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 all our lives to get through them all but thanks to the labor of one tireless 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 stalking 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 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 and as these power plants pump out energy for the cell reactive
8:44 am
oxygen species are also generated the build up of these so called our wes's and mitochondria can damage our uname 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 accident with the possibly charge doing so allows mitochondria is negatively charged interior to attract the ion antioxidant compound combination also helps squeeze antioxidants through the cells lifted membrane which would otherwise absorb the fat soluble antioxidants. since that time the topic has become a bit of a family affair with a good doctor getting involved although the underlying idea originated back and it wasn't put into practice until the one nine hundred ninety s. . we were in the first principle.
8:45 am
fact it was michael moore if. he used cohen's i'm cute occident 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. 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 an attempt to the contrary 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. unlike murphy he tried vitamin a.
8:46 am
q school has 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 their own antioxidants must be up to the task of keeping dangerous oxygen species to a minimum. the resulting compound which they call. is reported to be hundreds of times more if. of the other variations previously. know all this is based on the proposition that it's programmed in their genetic makeup to slowly but surely. and you might just. extend the human life more importantly. it least that's what it doesn't anymore.
8:47 am
so there is a good chance. a certain fact yet so as a scientist to have my doubts what are we working on is rather. but we have to try it with. younger healthier. change. i've decided to take it step by step how much. one can use this substance to make. efficient and administer it typically. a much easier path to the market. the technology company. dropped into the potential adverse side
8:48 am
effects are. traditional. human clinical trials had to be passed. earlier in two thousand and twelve at the moment they're working on having it approved by western health agencies. targeted. increasingly impaired vision. there. is a result of. the. different picture when used extensively they greatly decrease the number of tissue sections.
8:49 am
as the first guinea pig even before he got the russian regular. in my opinion the results pretty much speak for themselves. i'm very short sighted i started suffering from cataracts. 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. reduced. with russian regulatory approval in hand. slowly 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

the city of. innovation. is one of the operations from a dynamic local. operation. and then having. these robotic simulators. ever improving. different simulators for practicing minimally invasive surgery at the institute. of technology the difference is. thanks to the video we were able to follow. it also shows the mistakes.
8:52 am
possible impact. this exercise feels very true to life. all of this enables the students. but the. complex is home to the inspiration behind. this so-called resident company get tax breaks and other business. new ideas and projects before they came out with the medical. but 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. with
8:53 am
hydraulic systems and writes the programming code needed to recreate. 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. perform a few tricky maneuvers. 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. also develop. the transporter drivers. to practice in close to real life conditions it will contain everything one would find. however for the forward thinking. getting the patient is only half the.
8:54 am
patient from the starting point. where he can take medical assistance so the simulator practice. transporting the. two other doctors from that point on a different. surgery. the next logical step. to make training gear towards the other aspects of. the company is working on creating the. training complexes that will cover the more than one hundred different medical branches needed for russia's health care system. and how many feel just right is of utmost importance the more realistic the training the more useful it is when the time comes to put that. the company's production facility designers are constantly working to improve. in addition to realistic structures they've also
8:55 am
8:56 am
programmers to recreate just about any problem. in the world there are four major companies in the business of making medical simulators. naturally. their best. about this kind of competition. that it benefits the. competing companies there are . the better. it is for the medical equipment market so we feel that our devices are better than foreign ones in number of ways by new companies first and they have been tailored specifically for the russian healthcare system of that secondly we have introduced a new concept. with a number of ports which is unique to our company. with model of an operating room together with a robot this is something our foreign competitors have yet to emulate and put into
8:57 am
but i don't is it 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 that this edition of technology will see you next time enjoy the right.
