[00:00:03] Cells of the ovary are pictured here in red, but [00:00:07] what's that green thing? I had no idea what this [00:00:10] was because the structure was not really depicted in any recent [00:00:14] um textbooks or literature, so I went to my [00:00:17] mentored uh blanch keeple and and she wasn't really sure [00:00:21] what it was, so we pulled out some of her old textbooks and [00:00:24] eventually realized that this was the the radio very [00:00:27] e [00:00:30] tissue that was first described 150 years ago, but [00:00:33] then disappeared from anatomy books [00:00:35] and [00:00:38] then once I saw the structure and realized how big it was [00:00:41] and did some characterization found that it was associated with [00:00:44] the ovary throughout development, [00:00:47] um, I just couldn't stop thinking about it, so I really started to [00:00:51] launch more studies into its characterization from [00:00:53] there. Investigations showed that the [00:00:56] radio very shown here in turquoise, partially [00:01:00] surrounds the ovary. It might play a role in hormone [00:01:04] balance and be important for the embryonic development in the [00:01:07] reproductive organ, and there's a likely connection to the [00:01:11] exercise no longer feels like a development of cists. Although it's found in other female [00:01:15] mammals as well as humans, it no longer appears in [00:01:19] scientific drawings because scientists long thought it didn't [00:01:23] do anything. Not anymore. [00:01:25] We're very convinced at this point [00:01:28] that it's must serve some function, [00:01:32] we don't, we do not think it's useless or vestigial, the fact that it [00:01:36] remains throughout life, that it is such a significant [00:01:40] structure, really indicates that it [00:01:43] must serve a purpose. the radiovaria is not the [00:01:47] first part of the female anatomy to be historically underestimated, [00:01:51] the clitorus was as well. meet Mundi Mangla, a chief [00:01:55] physician at several clinics in Berlin, who advocates woman-centered [00:01:59] gonacology. [00:03:00] For instance, in the anatomy books, medical students in Germany used [00:03:03] to study for exams. Up until 2022, the [00:03:07] clitorus was almost never depicted there, but new additions [00:03:11] now include a correct anatomical illustration of the [00:03:14] female reproductive organs. If the [00:03:17] rediovari were part of the male anatomy, Jennifer [00:03:20] Mackey says it would have been studied seriously a much earlier [00:03:24] point. The female reproductive system and the [00:03:28] female body, the female... [00:03:30] health has been majorly overlooked and i think that's no [00:03:34] secret at this point. the redee is [00:03:37] finally receiving more attention and researchers [00:03:40] hope to soon shed light on the role it plays in the [00:03:44] female body. [00:03:48] did you know that in women heart attack symptoms are often different than they are in [00:03:52] men? they typically experience severe chest pain, [00:03:55] while in women it often manifests less clearly as [00:03:58] nausia, shortness. of breath or back [00:04:01] pain, because symptoms like these are often regarded as [00:04:05] harmless, heart conditions in women are more likely to be [00:04:08] misdiagnosed. [00:04:14] how Christina Pingel perceived her body and her [00:04:17] symptoms and how doctors interpreted and diagnosed [00:04:20] them almost cost her her life. She tells us about [00:04:24] it when we meet up in her favorite [00:04:26] cafe. It was like that I... [00:05:00] female cardiologist finally diagnosed [00:05:03] it. In all that time, about 10 [00:05:06] years, until I was finally diagnosed, I kept [00:05:09] saying over and over that something was wrong. [00:06:12] think heart attack, we think of a stressed out middle-aged male manager [00:06:16] who also smokes and maybe eats poorly. that's someone who has [00:06:20] heart attack. when we think of osteoporosis, we think [00:06:24] of an elderly post-menopausal woman, but anyone who doesn't [00:06:28] fit the stereotype has a higher risk of delayed [00:06:31] diagnosis. two and a half years ago, she [00:06:35] founded a statewide gender sensitive medicine [00:06:38] network. the term gender is now [00:06:41] loaded, says the doctor, [00:07:12] also provides information on social media about the gender health [00:07:16] gap, and since having heart surgery, she finally [00:07:20] feels good [00:07:20] again. [00:07:24] if you ever need surgery, you'd be better off if it were performed by female [00:07:28] hands rather than male ones. at least that's what research [00:07:31] suggests. in a Canadian study from 2023, over [00:07:35] million patients were examined one year after their operations. the [00:07:39] result, the sex of the operating surgeon matters. [00:07:43] With male surgeons, one in four patients had [00:07:45] complications, with female surgeons, it was only [00:07:49] one in [00:07:50] five. [00:07:54] An operation on the aorta, the body's largest [00:07:57] artery, which runs from the heart down to the pelvic area. [00:08:01] Today, heart surgeon Noga G has to replace one. She [00:08:05] opens up the rib [00:08:06] cage. [00:08:09] The procedure is particularly challenging because the patient... [00:08:43] their study data showing that female patients actually have a higher [00:08:46] risk of complications and mortality if they're operated on by [00:08:50] a male surgeon. [00:08:51] google [00:08:54] is a specialist for operations on the [00:08:57] aorda. when a bulgin it forms an anurism, [00:09:00] it has to be treated quickly. if the vessel [00:09:03] ruptures, most people don't [00:09:05] survive. [00:09:21] The aorta is not exactly the subject of lots of research, but [00:09:24] Goba remains fascinated by the 40 centimeter long blood [00:09:28] vessel that was officially designated in Organ last [00:09:31] year. The aorta used to be divided up to some extent [00:09:35] by medical disciplines with different parts of it treated by [00:09:39] different specialists. Die cardiac surgery focuses on [00:09:42] the part of the aorta close to the [00:09:46] heart, while vascular surgery traditionally [00:09:49] focuses on the part close to the abdomen, [00:09:53] and everyone tends to stick to their own area and neglect the [00:09:57] rest, remain and neglect the rest. [00:10:12] "everything is fine, it transports 5 l of blood per [00:10:16] minute from the heart to every region of the body and destination [00:10:20] organs, and if that no longer [00:10:22] works, it is torn. [00:11:33] The ultrasound exam covers not only the abdominal [00:11:36] area, but also the chest. This is [00:11:40] the first study aortic annurisms. For Felix [00:11:43] Heightsman, everything looks [00:11:45] good. [00:11:48] One measure checked during the exam is the large blood [00:11:51] vessels diameter. [00:12:27] If aortic disease is detected early in development, [00:12:30] says Nora Göbel, then surgery isn't very [00:12:33] risky. Her study will take at least five more years [00:12:36] and she's happy so many people are signing up for [00:12:40] screening. The aorta is, after all, close to her [00:12:44] heart. [00:12:48] Every second counts. When someone has heart attack, speed [00:12:52] is of the essence. Getting help fast. practically improves the [00:12:56] victims chances of recovery. The first step is, if at all possible, [00:12:59] to call emergency services. Nowadays, the [00:13:03] professionals can bring along equipment like heart, lung machine or [00:13:06] ECMO, and that's helping save [00:13:08] lives. [00:13:12] The phone rings at the emergency services hotline. [00:13:25] first responders have to start resuscitation as quickly as [00:13:28] possible, a specially equipped vehicles sets out with emergency [00:13:32] team on board. it carries three specialists and [00:13:36] mobile ECMO, a small heart lung [00:13:38] machine. [00:13:42] i don't really remember anything from then on. i was totally out [00:13:45] of it and only woke up five or six days later in [00:13:48] Hyderabadstation. [00:13:55] severe heart attack, she only knows what happened next from what she was [00:13:59] told later, the emergency physician arrived [00:14:02] first, [00:14:04] it was a good team, we took all the right measures, everything strictly according [00:14:08] to the guidelines, but we couldn't get the heartbeating again, [00:14:12] that's because she had a main coronary artery [00:14:14] infarction, very large vessel that supplies the heart with [00:14:18] blood was blocked completely, [00:14:21] in that situation normal resuscitation won't work, [00:14:25] the medical intervention car is a high-tech emergency vehicle that [00:14:29] brings intensive care to the streets, [00:14:33] was quickly hooked up to the mobile ecmo. [00:14:37] this is a one shot system that specifically for a single [00:14:40] patient, this box has been prepared and is in the vehicle so we [00:14:43] can connect things straight away, saving valuable [00:14:47] time. the so-called oxygenator is in there, it's an artificial [00:14:50] lung. [00:14:54] the compact. portable device can take over the function of the [00:14:57] lungs and heart. It works like [00:15:00] this: Blood is taken from a large vein [00:15:03] in the groin, enriched with oxygen, then pumped back [00:15:07] into the body via an artery. During [00:15:10] reanimation, the device always replaces the [00:15:13] function of the heart and lungs. ECMO, [00:15:17] a term many remember from the COVID-19 pandemic. [00:15:20] This is what one looks like an IC [00:15:22] unit. [00:15:26] This device is supplying oxygen to this patient with severe lung [00:15:30] failure. You can see that the dark oxygen poor blood [00:15:33] coming from the lungs enters this oxygenator and comes out a brighter. [00:16:37] gas supply, the tubes are ready and just need to be [00:16:41] clamped, [00:16:45] at some point the [00:16:49] simulation. [00:16:55] okay, good, you can press, [00:16:58] but ECMO also has [00:17:01] limits, if patients are not immediately resuscitated by [00:17:05] helpers on site, it's not [00:17:08] an option. Heidelberg has always been a [00:17:11] pioneer emergency medicine, at the beginning of the [00:17:15] 1960s, it saw Germany's first emergency [00:17:19] doctor deployment vehicle, a forerunner of today's [00:17:22] highly specialized vehicles [00:17:24] bearing mobile heart lung [00:17:27] machines. It's definitely a crucial module [00:17:31] for the future of the emergency medical services, especially for critically ill [00:17:34] patients. Because it's a module, it offers the possibility [00:18:07] of bringing. small way thanks to a [00:18:11] small box that can play a [00:18:13] big role in saving [00:18:17] lives. onto another topic: skin [00:18:21] cancer is the most common type of carcinoma worldwide, [00:18:24] but getting an appointment with a dermatologist can be tough. [00:18:28] in many countries, long waiting times are the norm. now [00:18:32] new technology could help speed things [00:18:35] up. [00:18:40] you should close your eyes, the flash is pretty. The launch of new technique for [00:18:43] identifying skin cancer, a high resolution camera [00:18:47] photographs patients striking various poses. Shots [00:18:51] are taken with different levels of light for later [00:18:53] diagnosis. Called a checkup box. The device can be [00:18:57] placed in any care center and can send images to doctors in [00:19:00] minutes, no matter where they are. To [00:19:04] dermatologist Cecilia Deitrich, for example, the [00:20:58] goal is to ensure that even human doctors will therefore continue to play a key role in the future when it comes to checking patients for signs of skin [00:21:01] cancer. [00:21:05] Regaining independence, that's the primary goal for those who have suffered [00:21:09] a stroke. Depending its severity, many patients can't [00:21:13] lift an arm after having one or are unable to walk. [00:21:17] The brain can relearn how to control limbs through. intensive [00:21:20] physiotherapy, but that's a long, hard slog, special [00:21:24] prosthetics and artificial intelligence are helping [00:21:27] make it little [00:21:28] easier. [00:21:32] These electrodes are designed to help a paralyzed limb [00:21:36] work again.ski [00:21:39] suffered a brain hemorage several years ago and has since been [00:21:42] unable to feel his arm. 2021. In [00:21:46] 2021, I had a brain bleed. It happened at work. [00:22:51] "the electrode cuff transmits the measured muscle activity to a [00:22:55] computer, using AI, it then [00:22:58] guesses what movement Volfgang is trying to make, and helps [00:23:02] him complete it by sending electrical impulses to the [00:23:05] appropriate parts of his arm. first though, [00:23:08] the research team has to make sure the right electrodes are stimulating [00:23:12] the right muscles, [00:23:15] so it's okay, so looks very good, absolute, [00:23:18] absolutely perfect." "i've never had this before, in the [00:23:22] last four years, this is the first time i could open it [00:23:25] easily and then easily close it again, [00:23:28] sensational, [00:23:33] but picking up cup is still tricky, that's why an [00:23:37] exoskeleton is added over the electrode cff, it [00:23:40] has built-in springs that support and amplify his [00:23:44] movements, enabling larger, stronger [00:23:47] or more sweeping motions. Equipped with [00:23:50] this device, can play a computer game, catching a [00:23:54] virtual ball that's flying towards him. The computer detects [00:23:58] is intended movement, supports and amplifies it, and also helps [00:24:01] him execute it more easily and [00:24:03] precisely. [00:24:07] You feel like you just want to keep going on and on, because you [00:24:10] notice the muscles are working and activated, and the [00:24:14] movements get smoother, [00:24:16] honestly, it's addictive. [00:24:19] These extra... exercises are aimed at retraining the body by [00:24:22] relearning movements and forming new nerve [00:24:25] connections. to reach those goals, patients have to practice [00:24:29] a lot. in the future they'll be able to train at home as [00:24:33] much as they want. the [00:24:35] more repetitions the better. with a system like this, patients stay [00:24:39] motivated and do much more each day, so their chances of regaining [00:24:42] hand function increase. at the [00:24:45] end of today's robot assisted training, volfgang tries gripping the [00:24:49] cup again. [00:24:58] success is within reach, i just have to [00:25:01] practice, that's [00:25:02] all, [00:26:47] The Wild West is back on stage. We will reveal to you [00:26:50] why Germans are enchanted by the culture of Native [00:26:53] Americans. Raising children the Spanish [00:26:57] way, what parenting in Spain looks [00:26:59] like. [00:27:02] And beer that breaks the rules, let's peek into [00:27:05] the creative Belgian beer scene. These and other [00:27:08] stories in today's Euromax. [00:27:26] The Germans' fascination with the Wild West is truly enormous. [00:27:29] Many are attracted by the romantic image of Indian [00:27:32] culture, but what some admire, others see [00:27:36] as harmful [00:27:37] stereotypes. [00:27:41] Germany has little in common with Native Americans, yet [00:27:45] they have become a cultural phenomenon. Every summer, hundreds of [00:27:48] thousands of people visit the great spectacle dedicated to the Wild [00:27:52] West, but this enthusiasm has its dark [00:27:55] side. [00:27:57] They took our children, they took our land, [00:28:00] all we have left is our culture. When people start appropriating [00:28:04] our culture for their own entertainment, they take away what [00:28:08] makes us who [00:28:09] we are. [00:28:13] Winnetou is a cult figure in Germany, a fictional character [00:28:16] of an Indian created by German writer Karl [00:28:19] May. We know that there is good and evil, and [00:28:23] Winnetou is a good guy. Winnetou represents the idea that you [00:28:26] have to stand up for what you believe in and fight for [00:28:30] it. I have been reading Karl May since childhood. I have read all his books from [00:28:33] cover to cover three times, so this takes me back a bit to [00:28:37] my youth. Why are Germans so fascinated by [00:28:40] Indians, is it about respect or [00:28:44] cultural [00:28:45] appropriation? [00:28:48] Since 1952, Karl May's novels have been performed [00:28:52] in an open-air theater in Bad Segeberg in northern [00:28:55] Germany. For many generations of Germans, Winnetou is part of their childhood [00:28:59] memories. [00:29:05] "Basically, it's a German phenomenon, and it all started with [00:29:08] books, although they have been translated into 50 languages, nowhere have they [00:29:12] resonated as strongly as in [00:29:14] Germany. [00:29:20] Karl May wrote his first adventure novels in the 19th [00:29:23] century, long before he visited the USA. His books [00:29:27] sold millions of copies and influenced the way Germans [00:29:31] perceive the Wild West. Although Winnetou was largely a product of Karl [00:29:34] May's imagination, the world the writer created was not entirely fictional. Karl [00:29:38] May's stories are just one aspect of the German fascination with the Wild [00:29:42] West. Brandenburg is home to one of several Wild West [00:29:45] towns in Germany. In Eldorado Templin, visitors can fully immerse [00:29:49] themselves in the world of the Wild West for a day. And it is precisely here [00:29:53] that you will find someone for whom Native American culture is not just [00:29:56] a mere imagination. Kendall Old Los is a member of the [00:29:59] Apsáalooke people. As a permanent member of the live ensemble. in conversation with [00:30:03] visitors about his [00:30:04] culture. [00:30:07] This is a Wild West town. It's incredible that as [00:30:10] an Indian from Montana, from the Wild West, I see how much interest [00:30:14] there is here not only in Indian, but also in Western [00:30:18] culture. You have cowboys, you have trappers, you have those who [00:30:22] participate in historical reconstructions of Indian [00:30:25] life. It's amazing how many people in [00:30:28] Germany today are interested in Western culture. [00:30:36] In German pop culture, depictions of Native Americans have long had [00:30:39] their place in films and carnival costumes, but [00:30:42] such depictions have met with criticism because they reduce different [00:30:46] indigenous cultures to simplified stereotypes [00:30:49] like headdresses and [00:30:51] tipis. [00:30:54] Many of these colors are not colors that you like, but you still [00:30:58] apply them. That's...
