[00:00:00] the the radio variovarii
[00:00:03] a tissue that was first described 150 years
[00:00:06] ago but then disappeared from anatomy books
[00:00:09] and then once i saw the
[00:00:12] structure and realized how big it was and did
[00:00:16] some characterization found that it was associated with the ovary throughout
[00:00:19] development um i just couldn't stop
[00:00:22] thinking about it so i really started to launch more studies into its
[00:00:26] characterization from there
[00:00:28] investigation show that the radiovary eye shown here
[00:00:32] in turquoise partially surrounds the ovary. it
[00:00:36] might play a role in hormone balance and be important for the
[00:00:39] embryonic development in the reproductive organ, and
[00:00:43] there's a likely connection to the development of
[00:00:45] cists. Although it's found in other female
[00:00:49] mammals as well as humans, it no longer appears in
[00:00:52] scientific drawings, because scientists long thought it didn't
[00:00:56] do anything, not anymore. We're
[00:01:00] very convinced at this point that it must serve
[00:01:04] some function, we don't, we do not think it's useless
[00:01:08] or vestigial, the fact that it remains throughout
[00:01:11] life, that it is such a significant structure,
[00:01:15] really indicates that it must serve a purpose.
[00:01:19] the radiovary is not the first part of the female anatomy to
[00:01:23] be historically underestimated, the clitorus
[00:01:26] was as well. Meet Mandi Mangla, a chief physician at s
[00:02:01] someone has heart attack. Speed is of
[00:02:27] 110,000 spectators at
[00:02:31] a situation that's slowly changing. For instance, in the
[00:02:34] anatomy books, medical students in Germany used to study for
[00:02:38] exams. Up until 2022, the clitorus
[00:02:41] was almost never depicted there, but new additions
[00:02:44] now include a correct anatomical illustration of the
[00:02:48] female reproductive organs. If the
[00:02:51] radiovari were part of the male anatomy, Jennifer Mackey
[00:02:54] says it would have been studied seriously a much earlier
[00:02:58] point. The female reproductive system and the
[00:03:01] female body, the female health has
[00:03:05] been majorly overlooked, and I think that's no secret at this
[00:03:08] point. The radiovary is finally
[00:03:11] receiving more attention and researchers hope to soon
[00:03:15] shed light on the role that plays in the female
[00:03:18] body.
[00:03:21] Did you know that in women heart attack symptoms are often different than they are in
[00:03:25] men? They typically experience severe chest pain,
[00:03:29] while in women it's often manifests less clearly as
[00:03:31] nausea, shortness of breath, or back
[00:03:35] pain. Because symptoms like these are often regarded as
[00:03:38] harmless, heart conditions in women are more likely to be
[00:03:42] misdiagnosed.
[00:03:47] how Christina Pingel perceived her body and her
[00:03:50] symptoms and how doctors interpreted and diagnosed
[00:03:54] them, almost cost her her life. She tells us about it
[00:03:58] when we meet up in her favorite
[00:04:40] and all that time, about 10 years until I was finally diagnosed, I kept saying
[00:04:43] over and over that something was wrong, and I kept hearing
[00:04:47] back that it was all in my mind, that I was imagining
[00:04:50] everything, even my real physical symptoms, and no
[00:04:54] one investigated, not in emergency rooms, not in medical
[00:04:58] practices.
[00:05:42] researches gender sensitive medicine. When we
[00:05:46] think heart attack, we think of a stressed out, middle-aged male
[00:05:49] manager who also smokes and maybe eats poorly, that's someone who
[00:05:53] has heart attack. When we think of osteoporosis, we
[00:05:57] think of an elderly post-menopausal
[00:05:59] woman, but anyone who doesn't fit the stereotype has a
[00:06:03] higher risk of delayed diagnosis.
[00:06:06] Two and a half years ago she founded a statewide
[00:06:10] gender-sensitive medicine network.
[00:06:42] Christina Pingel wrote a book about her long ordeal. She
[00:06:46] also provides information on social media about the gender
[00:06:49] health gap, and since having heart surgery, she
[00:06:53] finally feels good
[00:06:54] again.
[00:06:58] If you ever need surgery, you'd be better off if it were performed by female
[00:07:02] hands rather than male ones. At least that's what research
[00:07:05] suggests. In a Canadian study from 2023, over
[00:07:08] million patients were examined one year after their operations. The
[00:07:12] result, the sex of the operating surgeon
[00:07:15] matters. With male surgeons, one in four patients had
[00:07:19] complications. With female surgeons, it was only
[00:07:23] one in
[00:07:23] five.
[00:07:27] An operation on the aorta, the body's largest
[00:07:31] artery, which runs from the heart down to the pelvic area.
[00:07:34] Today, heart surgeon Norag has to replace
[00:07:37] one, she opens up the rib
[00:07:39] cage.
[00:07:42] The procedure is particularly challenging because the patient on the
[00:07:46] operating table is
[00:07:47] woman.
[00:07:51] Women are generally smaller, so everything is smaller,
[00:07:55] including the structures you operate on, and that can sometimes
[00:07:58] make things more complicated.
[00:08:02] female heart surgeons are still a minority in
[00:08:05] Germany, even those studies have shown that women who are
[00:08:08] operated on by woman have better chance of recovery.
[00:08:36] It has to be treated quickly, if the vessel ruptures, most people don't
[00:08:39] survive. This patient was lucky.
[00:10:13] Anyone over the age of 18 who lives in the area can now have
[00:10:17] their aorta measured for it. Until now,
[00:10:20] health insurance only paid for screening in men over
[00:10:23] 65.
[00:11:55] should remain low for at least
[00:11:57] a decade,
[00:12:00] if aortic disease is detected early in development,
[00:12:04] says no, then surgery isn't very
[00:12:07] risky. Her study will take at least five more years
[00:12:10] and she's happy so many people are signing up for
[00:12:14] screening. The aorta is, after all, close to her
[00:12:17] heart.
[00:12:22] Every second counts, when
[00:12:26] the essence, getting help fast dramatically improves the
[00:12:29] victim's chances of recovery. The first step is, if at all possible
[00:12:33] to call emergency services. Nowadays, the
[00:12:36] professionals can bring along equipment like a heart-lung machine or
[00:12:40] ECMO, and that's helping save
[00:12:42] lives.
[00:12:45] The phone rings at the emergency services hotline. The
[00:12:49] caller reports that a woman is lying on the ground, that she
[00:12:52] stopped breathing and is turning blue.
[00:13:55] In that situation, normal resuscitation won't
[00:13:58] work. The medical intervention car is a high-tech
[00:14:01] emergency vehicle that brings intensive care to the
[00:14:05] streets. Angela was quickly hooked up to the mobile
[00:14:08] ECMO. This is a one-shot system that's
[00:14:12] specifically for a single patient. This box has been
[00:14:15] prepared and is in the vehicle so we can connect things straight
[00:14:18] away, saving valuable time. The so-called
[00:14:21] oxygenator is in there, it's an artificial lung.
[00:15:27] Hooking up a patient to an ECMO as fast as possible
[00:15:30] is not exactly routine even in an
[00:15:32] ICU. So emergency personnel have to
[00:15:36] train regularly and
[00:16:37] helpers on site, it's not an
[00:16:39] option.
[00:16:42] Heidelberg has always been a pioneer in emergency
[00:16:45] medicine. At the beginning of the 1960s, it saw
[00:16:48] Germany's first emergency doctor deployment vehicle, a
[00:16:52] forerunner of today's highly specialized vehicles
[00:16:56] bearing mobile heart-lung
[00:16:57] machines.
[00:17:00] It's definitely a crucial module for the future of the emergency medical
[00:17:04] services, especially for critically ill patients. Because it's a
[00:17:08] module, it offers the possibility of bringing ECMO into play in a
[00:17:12] cardiovascular distress scenario. However, we're very
[00:17:15] aware that options for introducing it everywhere are very
[00:17:18] limited.
[00:17:21] Without the ECMO, it's very likely the patient would not have
[00:17:24] survived. I would have had to pronounce her dead on the
[00:17:27] street. Angela is doing
[00:17:31] well. After rehab, she's continued to exercise
[00:17:35] regularly and is also working again.
[00:17:37] 15. The fact that she can is in no
[00:17:41] small way thanks to a small box that can play a
[00:17:44] big role in saving
[00:17:46] lives.
[00:17:51] Onto another topic: skin cancer is the most common type of
[00:17:54] carcinoma worldwide, but getting an appointment with a
[00:17:57] dermatologist can be tough. In many countries,
[00:18:01] long waiting times are the norm. Now new technology
[00:18:04] could help speed things up.
[00:18:08] You should close your eyes, the flash is pretty
[00:18:11] bright.
[00:18:13] The launch of new technique for identifying skin
[00:18:17] cancer. A high-resolution camera photographs patients
[00:18:20] striking various poses. Shots are taken with
[00:18:23] different levels of light for later diagnosis. Called a
[00:18:27] checkup box. The device can be placed in any care center and
[00:18:31] can send images to doctors in minutes, no matter where they
[00:18:34] are. To dermatologist.
[00:19:08] The Checkup box is run by an artificial intelligence that
[00:19:11] compares images it takes with ones of skin cancer stored in
[00:19:15] its database, marking potential problem areas for the
[00:19:18] doctor. In this patient, 18
[00:19:22] so-called lesions are suspicious. From
[00:19:25] home, Detrish instructs the assistant to take a closer look
[00:19:29] at these areas, using a special microscope that can take
[00:19:33] images from beneath the skin surface. The AI
[00:19:36] is then able.
[00:19:46] so melanoma, it's trained really well for that, but there are other
[00:19:50] types of skin cancer, and that's where an experienced dermatologist is
[00:19:54] better. Cecilia, and her team are
[00:19:58] currently staffing Germany's first checkup box in
[00:20:01] Munich, a dermatologist
[00:20:04] is helping to assess the new technology according to...
[00:20:39] Regaining independence. That's the primary goal for those who have
[00:20:43] suffered a stroke. Depending on its severity, many patients can't
[00:20:46] lift an arm after having one or are unable to walk.
[00:20:50] The brain can relearn how to control limbs through intensive
[00:20:54] physiotherapy, but that's a long, hard slog.
[00:20:58] Special prosthetics and artificial intelligence are helping
[00:21:01] make it a little
[00:21:02] easier.
[00:21:05] These electrodes are designed to help a paralyzed
[00:21:09] limb work again.
[00:21:12] suffered a brain hemorrhage several years ago and has since been
[00:21:16] unable to feel his arm. 2021.
[00:22:25] The electrode cuff transmits the measured muscle activity to a
[00:22:29] computer. Using AI, it then guesses
[00:22:32] what movement Wolfgang is trying to make, and helps him
[00:22:36] complete it by sending electrical impulses to the appropriate
[00:22:39] parts of his arm. First though, the research team has to
[00:22:43] make sure the right electrodes are stimulating the right
[00:22:46] muscles. Yeah, so it's okay.
[00:22:52] Absolutely perfect. I've never had this before. In
[00:22:56] the last four years, this is the first time I could open it
[00:22:59] easily and then easily close it again.
[00:23:02] Sensational.
[00:23:06] But picking up a cup is still tricky. That's why an
[00:23:10] exoskeleton is added over the electrode cuff.
[00:23:14] It has built-in springs that support and amplify his
[00:23:17] movements, enabling larger, stronger
[00:23:21] or more sweeping motions. Equipped
[00:23:24] with this device, can play a computer game, catching a virtual ball
[00:23:27] that's flying towards him. The computer detects his intended
[00:23:31] movement, supports and amplifies it, and also helps
[00:23:35] him execute it more easily and
[00:23:37] precisely.
[00:23:40] You feel like you just want to keep going on and on, because you
[00:23:44] notice the muscles are working and activated and the
[00:23:48] movements get smoother. It's
[00:23:50] addictive.
[00:23:53] These exercises are aimed at retraining the body by
[00:23:56] relearning movements and forming new nerve
[00:23:59] connections. To reach those goals, patients have to practice
[00:24:02] a lot. In the future, they'll be able to train at home,
[00:24:06] as much as they want. The more repetitions, the
[00:24:10] better. With a system like this, patients stay motivated and do much more
[00:24:14] each day, so their chances of regaining hand function
[00:24:17] increase. At the end of today's
[00:24:21] robot-assisted training, Wolfgang tries gripping the
[00:24:24] cup again. The results are
[00:24:30] mixed. The success
[00:24:34] is within reach, I just have to practice, that's
[00:24:36] all.
[00:24:41] And that's all from us too.
[00:24:44] Thanks for watching and hope to see you next time, tomorrow
[00:24:48] today, bye-bye.
[00:24:55] Novelties, tests, news, old and
[00:24:58] new. Every second and fourth Friday of the month
[00:25:02] we bring you everything relevant from the automotive industry.
[00:25:05] We introduce you to new models and technologies, advise you
[00:25:09] on how to buy a car, and discuss the problems that
[00:25:12] bother all traffic participants. Follow us
[00:25:16] and stay up-to-date with everything that the future on four
[00:25:20] wheels brings us. Automobiliona on Friday on N1 television.
[00:30:04] technology many are familiar with in the gaming industry, but its potential
[00:30:07] reaches far beyond that. Increasingly, NGOs and
[00:30:11] doctors have been harnessing its potential for fostering
[00:30:14] empathy, but how exactly does that work and how successful is
[00:30:18] it? That's what we're talking about on
[00:30:21] Shift.
[00:30:22] VR headsets first hit the market
[00:30:26] back in the 90s and the hype was huge, but sales were
[00:30:30] low for most people, they were
[00:30:33] just too expensive. That was up until the mid-2010s,
[00:30:37] lower prices and improved technology like 360-degree
[00:30:40] videos made VR interesting for non-gamers too.
[00:30:44] Worldwide, more than 30 million VR headsets are now in
[00:30:47] use, and the media is now talking about VR as
[00:30:50] an empathy machine. So
[00:30:53] first off, what is empathy? Simply put, it's
[00:30:57] being sensitive to the feelings, thoughts and...
