Investigations showed that the [00:00:06] radiovary eye shown here and turquoise partially [00:00:10] surrounds the ovary. It might play a role in hormone [00:00:13] balance and be important for the embryonic development in the [00:00:17] reproductive organ, and there's a likely connection to the [00:00:21] exercise no longer feels like a development of cists. Although it's [00:00:23] found in other female mammals as well as humans, it no [00:00:27] longer appears in scientific drawings because [00:00:30] scientists long thought it didn't do anything, not [00:00:33] anymore. we're very [00:00:36] convinced at this point that it must serve [00:00:39] some function. we don't, we do not think it's [00:00:43] useless or vestigial, the fact that it remains [00:00:46] throughout life, that it is such a significant [00:00:49] structure, really indicates that it [00:00:53] must serve a purpose. the radiovari is not the [00:00:57] first part of the female anatomy to be historically under... estimated, [00:01:00] the clitorus was as well. Meet Mandi Mangla, a chief [00:01:04] physician at several clinics in Berlin, who advocates women's centered [00:01:08] gonachology. [00:01:11] When you look at anatomical drawings in your doctor's office, depicting the female [00:01:14] pelvis, for example, you generally see the uterus and vagina, [00:01:18] but in 95% of the images there's no [00:01:20] clitorus. [00:01:24] The clitorus is a structure about 10 centimeters in size that plays [00:01:27] a major role in sexual arousal. [00:01:36] someone has heart attack, speed is of [00:02:08] slowly changing, for instance, in the anatomy books, medical students in [00:02:12] Germany used to study for exams, up until [00:02:15] 2022, the clitorus was almost never depicted [00:02:18] there, but new editions now include a correct [00:02:22] anatomical illustration of the female reproductive [00:02:25] organs. if the rediovari were part of the [00:02:28] male anatomy, Jennifer... McKe says it would have been studied [00:02:31] seriously a much earlier [00:02:33] point. the female reproductive system and the [00:02:37] female body, the female health has [00:02:40] been majorly overlooked, and i think that's no secret at this [00:02:44] point. the radio very eye is finally receiving [00:02:48] more attention and researchers hope to soon shed [00:02:51] light on the role that plays in the female [00:02:54] body. [00:02:57] did you know that in women heart attack symptoms are? often different than they are in [00:03:01] men, they typically experience severe chest pain, [00:03:04] while in women it often manifests less clearly, as [00:03:07] nausea, shortness of breath, or back [00:03:10] pain. because symptoms like these are often regarded as [00:03:14] harmless, heart conditions in women are more likely to be [00:03:17] misdiagnosed. [00:03:23] how Christina Pingle perceived her body and her [00:03:26] symptoms and how doctors interpreted and diagnosed them, [00:03:30] almost cost her her life. She tells us about [00:03:33] it when we meet up in her favorite cafe. [00:03:45] I went to the doctor in the emergency room a lot of [00:03:48] because [00:03:51] it got worse over time. Notaufnahmen war, weil über die Jahre. At some point my heartbeat grew [00:03:54] irregular. I'd almost black out and had lot of [00:03:58] always replaces the function of pressure in my chest. [00:05:15] wants to change that, she's a physician who researches [00:05:18] gender sensitive medicine, when we [00:05:21] think heart attack, we think of a stressed out middle-aged male [00:05:25] manager who also smokes and maybe eats poorly, that's someone who [00:05:29] has heart attack. when we think of osteoporosis, we [00:05:33] think of an elderly post-menopausal [00:05:35] woman, but anyone who doesn't fit the stereotype has a [00:05:39] higher risk of delayed diagnosis? [00:05:42] two and a half years ago she founded a statewide gender [00:05:46] sensitive medicine network. the term [00:05:49] gender is now loaded, says the doctor, but it plays an important [00:05:53] role in medicine. [00:05:56] if i go to doctor and i'm not believed or only offered [00:06:00] certain diagnostic procedures late. if i'm perhaps [00:06:04] given different treatments because it's assumed i will deal with it [00:06:07] differently. these are gender aspects and that also [00:06:10] clearly means that gender. [00:06:23] She also provides information on social media about the gender health gap, and since having [00:06:27] heart surgery, she finally feels good [00:06:30] again. [00:06:33] If you ever need surgery, you'd be better off if it were performed by female [00:06:37] hands rather than male ones, at least that's what research [00:06:40] suggests in a Canadian. study from 2023, over [00:06:44] million patients were examined one year after their operations. The [00:06:48] result, the sex of the operating surgeon [00:06:51] matters. With male surgeons, one in four patients had [00:06:55] complications, with female surgeons, it was only [00:06:58] one in [00:06:59] five. [00:07:03] An operation on the aorda, the body's largest [00:07:06] artery which runs from the heart down to the pelvic area. [00:07:10] Today, heart surgeon. has to replace one, she [00:07:14] opens up the rib [00:07:15] cage. [00:07:18] the procedure is particularly challenging because the patient on the [00:07:22] operating table is [00:07:23] woman. [00:07:27] women are generally smaller, so everything is smaller, [00:07:30] including the structures you operate on, and that can sometimes make [00:07:34] things more complicated. [00:07:37] female heart surgeons are still a minority in germany [00:07:41] even though... Studies have shown that women who are operated [00:07:44] on by woman have better chance of [00:07:47] recovery. [00:07:52] There's study data showing that female patients actually have a [00:07:55] higher risk of complications and mortality if they're [00:07:59] operated on by a male [00:08:00] surgeon. [00:08:03] Google is a specialist for operations on the [00:08:06] aorda. When it forms an anarism, [00:08:10] it has to be treated quickly. [00:09:42] when and why? that's the focus of a study at [00:09:46] Gurber's Hospital in Stuttgart. Anyone [00:09:49] over the age of 18 who lives in the area can now have their [00:09:52] aorda measured for it. Until now, [00:09:56] health insurance only paid for screening in men over [00:09:59] 65. [00:10:02] But we also know that more than half of the ruptured [00:10:05] aortic annuarisms that come for emergency [00:10:08] surgery. [00:10:25] thousand people between 21 and 91 have taken [00:10:28] part, thousands more are a waiting list, interest is [00:10:32] huge, und we can [00:10:35] already say based on the figures we've screened, that [00:10:38] rates are higher than we expected. [00:10:42] the ultrasound exam covers not only the abdominal [00:10:46] area, but also the chest. this is the [00:10:49] first study aortic annurisms. for Felix [00:10:52] Heightsman, everything looks good. [00:11:25] are completely normal, the doctor tells him that the measurements are [00:11:28] normal for his age, and his risk should remain low for [00:11:32] at least decade. 10, 15, [00:11:34] 20. If aortic disease is detected early in [00:11:38] development, says Nobel, then [00:11:41] surgery isn't very risky. Her study will [00:11:44] take at least five more years and she's happy so [00:11:47] many people are signing up for screening. The aorta [00:11:51] is, after all, close to her heart. [00:11:57] Every second counts: when [00:12:01] the essence. Getting help fast dramatically improves the [00:12:05] victim's chances of recovery. The first step is, if at all [00:12:08] possible, to call emergency services. Nowadays, the [00:12:12] professionals can bring along equipment like heart, lung machine or [00:12:15] ECMO, and that's helping save [00:12:18] lives. [00:13:25] "a very large vessel that supplies the heart with blood was blocked [00:13:28] completely. [00:13:31] In that situation, normal ressuscitation won't [00:13:34] work. The medical intervention car is a high-tech [00:13:37] emergency vehicle that brings intensive care to the [00:13:40] streets. Angela was quickly hooked up to the mobile [00:13:44] ECMO. This is a one shot system that's [00:13:48] specifically for a single patient. This box has been [00:13:51] prepared and is in the vehicle so we can connect things straight away. [00:13:55] saving valuable time, the so-called oxygenator is in [00:13:58] there, it's an artificial [00:14:00] lung. [00:14:03] the compact and portable device can take over the function of the [00:14:06] lungs and heart. it works like [00:14:09] this: blood is taken from a large vein [00:14:13] in the groin, enriched with oxygen, then pumped back [00:14:16] into the body via an artery. during [00:14:19] reanimation, the device [00:14:23] the heart and lungs. [00:14:25] ecmo, a term many remember from the COVID-19 [00:14:29] pandemic. This is what one looks like an ic [00:14:32] unit. [00:14:35] This device is supplying oxygen to this patient with [00:14:38] severe lung failure. You can see that the dark oxygen poor [00:14:42] blood coming from the lungs enters this oxygenator and comes out [00:14:46] a brighter red on the other side with [00:14:49] oxygen. [00:14:55] and this is the connecting tube where oxygen is taken in from [00:14:58] outside to be absorbed by the [00:15:00] blood. hooking up a patient to an [00:15:04] ECMO as fast as possible is not exactly routine [00:15:07] even an ic ward. so [00:15:10] emergency personnel have to train regularly in simulations like [00:15:14] these to ensure it will work on the [00:15:16] street. because seconds count, the team is [00:15:20] usually made up of three people each with clearly [00:15:23] defined tasks and [00:15:37] No easy task while CPR is [00:15:39] ongoing. [00:15:45] The ECMO is connected to the gas supply, the tubes are [00:15:48] ready and just need to be [00:15:50] clamped. [00:15:55] At some point the [00:15:58] simulation. [00:16:04] Okay, good, you can stop pressing. [00:16:07] decmo also has limits, if patients are not [00:16:11] immediately resuscitated by helpers on site, it's not [00:16:14] an option. [00:16:17] Heidelberg has always been a pioneer emergency [00:16:21] medicine, at the beginning of the 1960s, it saw [00:16:24] Germany's first emergency doctor deployment vehicle, a [00:16:28] forerunner of today's highly specialized vehicles [00:16:31] bearing mobile heart lung [00:16:33] machines. [00:16:36] It's definitely a... crucial module for the future of the emergency [00:16:39] medical services, especially for critically ill patients, [00:16:43] because it's a module, it offers the possibility of bringing ECMO into [00:16:47] play in a cardiovascular distress scenario. however, [00:16:50] we're very aware that options for introducing it everywhere are very [00:16:54] limited. [00:16:56] without the ECMO, it's very likely the patient would not have [00:17:00] survived. i would have had to pronounce her dead on the [00:17:03] street. angela is doing well. [00:17:07] after rehab, she's continued to exercise regularly and is [00:17:11] also working again. [00:17:14] the fact that she can is in no small way thanks to a [00:17:18] small box that can play a big role in saving [00:17:22] lives. [00:17:26] onto another topic: skin cancer is the most common type of [00:17:30] carcinoma worldwide, but getting an appointment with a [00:17:33] dermatologist can be tough. in many countries, long waiting time. [00:17:37] the norm, now new technology could help speed things [00:17:41] up, [00:17:44] you should close your eyes, the flash is pretty [00:17:46] bright, [00:17:49] the launch of new technique for identifying skin [00:17:52] cancer, a high-resolution camera photographs patients [00:17:56] striking various poses, shots are taken [00:17:59] with different levels of light for later diagnosis, called a [00:18:02] checkup box, the device can be placed in any care center and can [00:18:06] send is to doctors in minutes, no matter where they [00:18:10] are, to dermatologist, [00:18:14] for example, the goal is to ensure that even places with few [00:18:17] specialists have access to preventive [00:18:20] care. around 20% of [00:18:24] dermatologists in Germany will retire in the next 10 [00:18:27] years. this means that in the future will almost certainly not only [00:18:31] face shortages in rural areas, but in urban areas [00:18:34] as well. and that's where the device. or box [00:18:38] can help to make up for supply shortfalls in manner of [00:18:41] speaking. the checkup box is run by an [00:18:45] artificial intelligence that compares images it takes with [00:18:49] ones of skin cancer stored in its database, marking [00:18:52] potential problem areas for the doctor. in [00:18:56] this patient, 18 so-called lesions are [00:18:59] suspicious. from home, instructs the [00:19:03] assistant to take a closer look at these areas. using a [00:19:06] special microscope that can take images from beneath the skin [00:19:10] surface, the AI is then able to calculate the [00:19:14] probability that lesion [00:19:17] is located and where to take a closer look. This one is particularly [00:19:20] good, [00:19:22] so melanoma, it's trained really well for that, but there are other [00:19:26] types of skin cancer, and that's where an experienced dermatologist is [00:19:30] better. Cecilia ditric and her team are [00:19:33] currently staffing Germany's first checkup box in Munich. [00:20:07] comes to checking patients for signs of skin [00:20:10] cancer, [00:20:15] regaining independence, that's the primary goal for those who have [00:20:18] suffered a stroke. Depending its severity, many patients can't [00:20:22] lift an arm after having one or are unable to walk. [00:20:26] The brain can relearn how to control limbs through intensive [00:20:29] physiotherapy, but that's a long, hard slog. [00:20:33] Special prosthetics and artificial intelligence are helping make it. [00:20:37] little easier. [00:20:41] These electrodes are designed to help a paralyzed [00:20:44] limb work again. [00:20:48] suffered a brain hemorage several. [00:21:20] impulses to contract his muscles from the outside, so we [00:21:24] can help patients who lost full muscle control to perform [00:21:27] actions like grasping and releasing things, or moving their [00:21:31] arms. [00:21:34] the round electrodes detect muscle activity, while the [00:21:38] square ones deliver electrical stimulation [00:21:41] that activates additional [00:21:43] muscles. [00:21:48] also, feel a slight current now, it's [00:21:52] just been applied. there's a little electricity. i feel [00:21:55] it faintly, but nothing more, not [00:21:57] yet. [00:22:00] the electrode cuff transmits the measured muscle activity to a [00:22:04] computer. using AI, it then guesses [00:22:08] what movement volfgang is trying to make and helps him [00:22:11] complete it by sending electrical impulses to the appropriate [00:22:15] parts of his arm. first though, the research team has to [00:22:19] make sure the... [00:22:50] It has built-in springs that support and amplify his [00:22:53] movements, enabling larger, stronger [00:22:56] or more sweeping motions. Equipped [00:22:59] with this device, Volfgang can play a computer game, catching a [00:23:03] virtual ball that's flying towards him. The computer detects [00:23:07] his intended movement, supports and amplifies it, and also helps [00:23:11] him execute it more easily and [00:23:13] precisely. [00:23:16] You feel like you just want to keep going on and on. [00:23:20] the muscles are working and activated and the movements get [00:23:24] smoother, honestly it's [00:23:25] addictive. [00:23:28] these exercises are aimed at retraining the body by [00:23:31] relearning movements and forming new nerve [00:23:34] connections. to reach those goals, patients have to practice [00:23:38] a lot. in the future they'll be able to train at home as [00:23:42] much as they want. the [00:23:44] more repetitions the better. with a system like this, patients stay [00:23:48] motivated and do much more. [00:30:18] Good afternoon, dear viewers, events [00:30:20] of the day. [00:30:24] Fires reactivated [00:30:26] in the Trnovo area. [00:30:29] Three arrested in the Amadeus [00:30:33] operation handed over to the Prosecutor's Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina. [00:30:35] Announcement of early parliamentary [00:30:38] elections in Serbia. [00:30:42] A large forest fire at the Repovica location at the entrance [00:30:46] to the city of Konjic, which threatened residential buildings yesterday, [00:30:49] was localized during the night and brought under control. [00:30:52] However, in the municipality of Trnovo, fires have reactivated. [00:30:56] Our Feđa Kulina is there. Feđa, what are you reporting?
