00:00:00the the radio variovarii
00:00:03a tissue that was first described 150 years
00:00:06ago but then disappeared from anatomy books
00:00:09and then once i saw the
00:00:12structure and realized how big it was and did
00:00:16some characterization found that it was associated with the ovary throughout
00:00:19development um i just couldn't stop
00:00:22thinking about it so i really started to launch more studies into its
00:00:26characterization from there
00:00:28investigation show that the radiovary eye shown here
00:00:32in turquoise partially surrounds the ovary. it
00:00:36might play a role in hormone balance and be important for the
00:00:39embryonic development in the reproductive organ, and
00:00:43there's a likely connection to the development of
00:00:45cists. Although it's found in other female
00:00:49mammals as well as humans, it no longer appears in
00:00:52scientific drawings, because scientists long thought it didn't
00:00:56do anything, not anymore. We're
00:01:00very convinced at this point that it must serve
00:01:04some function, we don't, we do not think it's useless
00:01:08or vestigial, the fact that it remains throughout
00:01:11life, that it is such a significant structure,
00:01:15really indicates that it must serve a purpose.
00:01:19the radiovary is not the first part of the female anatomy to
00:01:23be historically underestimated, the clitorus
00:01:26was as well. Meet Mandi Mangla, a chief physician at s
00:02:01someone has heart attack. Speed is of
00:02:27110,000 spectators at
00:02:31a situation that's slowly changing. For instance, in the
00:02:34anatomy books, medical students in Germany used to study for
00:02:38exams. Up until 2022, the clitorus
00:02:41was almost never depicted there, but new additions
00:02:44now include a correct anatomical illustration of the
00:02:48female reproductive organs. If the
00:02:51radiovari were part of the male anatomy, Jennifer Mackey
00:02:54says it would have been studied seriously a much earlier
00:02:58point. The female reproductive system and the
00:03:01female body, the female health has
00:03:05been majorly overlooked, and I think that's no secret at this
00:03:08point. The radiovary is finally
00:03:11receiving more attention and researchers hope to soon
00:03:15shed light on the role that plays in the female
00:03:18body.
00:03:21Did you know that in women heart attack symptoms are often different than they are in
00:03:25men? They typically experience severe chest pain,
00:03:29while in women it's often manifests less clearly as
00:03:31nausea, shortness of breath, or back
00:03:35pain. Because symptoms like these are often regarded as
00:03:38harmless, heart conditions in women are more likely to be
00:03:42misdiagnosed.
00:03:47how Christina Pingel perceived her body and her
00:03:50symptoms and how doctors interpreted and diagnosed
00:03:54them, almost cost her her life. She tells us about it
00:03:58when we meet up in her favorite
00:04:40and all that time, about 10 years until I was finally diagnosed, I kept saying
00:04:43over and over that something was wrong, and I kept hearing
00:04:47back that it was all in my mind, that I was imagining
00:04:50everything, even my real physical symptoms, and no
00:04:54one investigated, not in emergency rooms, not in medical
00:04:58practices.
00:05:42researches gender sensitive medicine. When we
00:05:46think heart attack, we think of a stressed out, middle-aged male
00:05:49manager who also smokes and maybe eats poorly, that's someone who
00:05:53has heart attack. When we think of osteoporosis, we
00:05:57think of an elderly post-menopausal
00:05:59woman, but anyone who doesn't fit the stereotype has a
00:06:03higher risk of delayed diagnosis.
00:06:06Two and a half years ago she founded a statewide
00:06:10gender-sensitive medicine network.
00:06:42Christina Pingel wrote a book about her long ordeal. She
00:06:46also provides information on social media about the gender
00:06:49health gap, and since having heart surgery, she
00:06:53finally feels good
00:06:54again.
00:06:58If you ever need surgery, you'd be better off if it were performed by female
00:07:02hands rather than male ones. At least that's what research
00:07:05suggests. In a Canadian study from 2023, over
00:07:08million patients were examined one year after their operations. The
00:07:12result, the sex of the operating surgeon
00:07:15matters. With male surgeons, one in four patients had
00:07:19complications. With female surgeons, it was only
00:07:23one in
00:07:23five.
00:07:27An operation on the aorta, the body's largest
00:07:31artery, which runs from the heart down to the pelvic area.
00:07:34Today, heart surgeon Norag has to replace
00:07:37one, she opens up the rib
00:07:39cage.
00:07:42The procedure is particularly challenging because the patient on the
00:07:46operating table is
00:07:47woman.
00:07:51Women are generally smaller, so everything is smaller,
00:07:55including the structures you operate on, and that can sometimes
00:07:58make things more complicated.
00:08:02female heart surgeons are still a minority in
00:08:05Germany, even those studies have shown that women who are
00:08:08operated on by woman have better chance of recovery.
00:08:36It has to be treated quickly, if the vessel ruptures, most people don't
00:08:39survive. This patient was lucky.
00:10:13Anyone over the age of 18 who lives in the area can now have
00:10:17their aorta measured for it. Until now,
00:10:20health insurance only paid for screening in men over
00:10:2365.
00:11:55should remain low for at least
00:11:57a decade,
00:12:00if aortic disease is detected early in development,
00:12:04says no, then surgery isn't very
00:12:07risky. Her study will take at least five more years
00:12:10and she's happy so many people are signing up for
00:12:14screening. The aorta is, after all, close to her
00:12:17heart.
00:12:22Every second counts, when
00:12:26the essence, getting help fast dramatically improves the
00:12:29victim's chances of recovery. The first step is, if at all possible
00:12:33to call emergency services. Nowadays, the
00:12:36professionals can bring along equipment like a heart-lung machine or
00:12:40ECMO, and that's helping save
00:12:42lives.
00:12:45The phone rings at the emergency services hotline. The
00:12:49caller reports that a woman is lying on the ground, that she
00:12:52stopped breathing and is turning blue.
00:13:55In that situation, normal resuscitation won't
00:13:58work. The medical intervention car is a high-tech
00:14:01emergency vehicle that brings intensive care to the
00:14:05streets. Angela was quickly hooked up to the mobile
00:14:08ECMO. This is a one-shot system that's
00:14:12specifically for a single patient. This box has been
00:14:15prepared and is in the vehicle so we can connect things straight
00:14:18away, saving valuable time. The so-called
00:14:21oxygenator is in there, it's an artificial lung.
00:15:27Hooking up a patient to an ECMO as fast as possible
00:15:30is not exactly routine even in an
00:15:32ICU. So emergency personnel have to
00:15:36train regularly and
00:16:37helpers on site, it's not an
00:16:39option.
00:16:42Heidelberg has always been a pioneer in emergency
00:16:45medicine. At the beginning of the 1960s, it saw
00:16:48Germany's first emergency doctor deployment vehicle, a
00:16:52forerunner of today's highly specialized vehicles
00:16:56bearing mobile heart-lung
00:16:57machines.
00:17:00It's definitely a crucial module for the future of the emergency medical
00:17:04services, especially for critically ill patients. Because it's a
00:17:08module, it offers the possibility of bringing ECMO into play in a
00:17:12cardiovascular distress scenario. However, we're very
00:17:15aware that options for introducing it everywhere are very
00:17:18limited.
00:17:21Without the ECMO, it's very likely the patient would not have
00:17:24survived. I would have had to pronounce her dead on the
00:17:27street. Angela is doing
00:17:31well. After rehab, she's continued to exercise
00:17:35regularly and is also working again.
00:17:3715. The fact that she can is in no
00:17:41small way thanks to a small box that can play a
00:17:44big role in saving
00:17:46lives.
00:17:51Onto another topic: skin cancer is the most common type of
00:17:54carcinoma worldwide, but getting an appointment with a
00:17:57dermatologist can be tough. In many countries,
00:18:01long waiting times are the norm. Now new technology
00:18:04could help speed things up.
00:18:08You should close your eyes, the flash is pretty
00:18:11bright.
00:18:13The launch of new technique for identifying skin
00:18:17cancer. A high-resolution camera photographs patients
00:18:20striking various poses. Shots are taken with
00:18:23different levels of light for later diagnosis. Called a
00:18:27checkup box. The device can be placed in any care center and
00:18:31can send images to doctors in minutes, no matter where they
00:18:34are. To dermatologist.
00:19:08The Checkup box is run by an artificial intelligence that
00:19:11compares images it takes with ones of skin cancer stored in
00:19:15its database, marking potential problem areas for the
00:19:18doctor. In this patient, 18
00:19:22so-called lesions are suspicious. From
00:19:25home, Detrish instructs the assistant to take a closer look
00:19:29at these areas, using a special microscope that can take
00:19:33images from beneath the skin surface. The AI
00:19:36is then able.
00:19:46so melanoma, it's trained really well for that, but there are other
00:19:50types of skin cancer, and that's where an experienced dermatologist is
00:19:54better. Cecilia, and her team are
00:19:58currently staffing Germany's first checkup box in
00:20:01Munich, a dermatologist
00:20:04is helping to assess the new technology according to...
00:20:39Regaining independence. That's the primary goal for those who have
00:20:43suffered a stroke. Depending on its severity, many patients can't
00:20:46lift an arm after having one or are unable to walk.
00:20:50The brain can relearn how to control limbs through intensive
00:20:54physiotherapy, but that's a long, hard slog.
00:20:58Special prosthetics and artificial intelligence are helping
00:21:01make it a little
00:21:02easier.
00:21:05These electrodes are designed to help a paralyzed
00:21:09limb work again.
00:21:12suffered a brain hemorrhage several years ago and has since been
00:21:16unable to feel his arm. 2021.
00:22:25The electrode cuff transmits the measured muscle activity to a
00:22:29computer. Using AI, it then guesses
00:22:32what movement Wolfgang is trying to make, and helps him
00:22:36complete it by sending electrical impulses to the appropriate
00:22:39parts of his arm. First though, the research team has to
00:22:43make sure the right electrodes are stimulating the right
00:22:46muscles. Yeah, so it's okay.
00:22:52Absolutely perfect. I've never had this before. In
00:22:56the last four years, this is the first time I could open it
00:22:59easily and then easily close it again.
00:23:02Sensational.
00:23:06But picking up a cup is still tricky. That's why an
00:23:10exoskeleton is added over the electrode cuff.
00:23:14It has built-in springs that support and amplify his
00:23:17movements, enabling larger, stronger
00:23:21or more sweeping motions. Equipped
00:23:24with this device, can play a computer game, catching a virtual ball
00:23:27that's flying towards him. The computer detects his intended
00:23:31movement, supports and amplifies it, and also helps
00:23:35him execute it more easily and
00:23:37precisely.
00:23:40You feel like you just want to keep going on and on, because you
00:23:44notice the muscles are working and activated and the
00:23:48movements get smoother. It's
00:23:50addictive.
00:23:53These exercises are aimed at retraining the body by
00:23:56relearning movements and forming new nerve
00:23:59connections. To reach those goals, patients have to practice
00:24:02a lot. In the future, they'll be able to train at home,
00:24:06as much as they want. The more repetitions, the
00:24:10better. With a system like this, patients stay motivated and do much more
00:24:14each day, so their chances of regaining hand function
00:24:17increase. At the end of today's
00:24:21robot-assisted training, Wolfgang tries gripping the
00:24:24cup again. The results are
00:24:30mixed. The success
00:24:34is within reach, I just have to practice, that's
00:24:36all.
00:24:41And that's all from us too.
00:24:44Thanks for watching and hope to see you next time, tomorrow
00:24:48today, bye-bye.
00:24:55Novelties, tests, news, old and
00:24:58new. Every second and fourth Friday of the month
00:25:02we bring you everything relevant from the automotive industry.
00:25:05We introduce you to new models and technologies, advise you
00:25:09on how to buy a car, and discuss the problems that
00:25:12bother all traffic participants. Follow us
00:25:16and stay up-to-date with everything that the future on four
00:25:20wheels brings us. Automobiliona on Friday on N1 television.
00:30:04technology many are familiar with in the gaming industry, but its potential
00:30:07reaches far beyond that. Increasingly, NGOs and
00:30:11doctors have been harnessing its potential for fostering
00:30:14empathy, but how exactly does that work and how successful is
00:30:18it? That's what we're talking about on
00:30:21Shift.
00:30:22VR headsets first hit the market
00:30:26back in the 90s and the hype was huge, but sales were
00:30:30low for most people, they were
00:30:33just too expensive. That was up until the mid-2010s,
00:30:37lower prices and improved technology like 360-degree
00:30:40videos made VR interesting for non-gamers too.
00:30:44Worldwide, more than 30 million VR headsets are now in
00:30:47use, and the media is now talking about VR as
00:30:50an empathy machine. So
00:30:53first off, what is empathy? Simply put, it's
00:30:57being sensitive to the feelings, thoughts and...
