A fed today should have been born 3 weeks from today. The and but his mother started a new job done, gave birth to him over 2 months ago. Had told her his brain didnt have sufficient time to mature. He missed out on vidal weeks in the womb. Thats the reason many premature babies end up with developmental disorders. Some of them caused lifelong issues. Pediatrician and research are paid to hook. B is trying to do something about it. With music. Coincides the middle of the day of holding. We came up with the idea because premature babies have a daily rhythm thats determined by machines. Meaningful and the name indeed can that be spring . We thought we had to give them something that they could hold onto based that the facial, hey, thats something that comes regularly to try something with a personal connection to them. So we, thats when we had the idea that we could do that with music or make music mazda actually metric us out. The black simmons in time for us to raise wake up music. He has a different pace to fall asleep too, as well as one for his waking hours. In a study, the team led by the research are looked at what happens in the brain when premature babies and neo natal logy wards associated music with events like waking up or falling asleep . They minutes . Yeah, i looked well. Well, well, mostly babies who have listened to music regularly show a clear maturation of these blue and Orange Networks leave. These are the networks that are otherwise less or under developed in premature babies in the cliff team. So some neural connections and the brains of these premies grew more sophisticated due to the music and the daily structure. The associated with the music was created by on to this folder, invite our while composing as much as possible. He tried to put himself in the shoes of a premature in front of the stairs to tdc the scene to attend to. The 1st goal was to relax. The children boat was to dissolve the blockades. They had built up through this process of being told into the world to the door and closed for suicide, trying to develop a sound from overtime, from human voices when you have a high extract of the sounds that were the most a theory, all the ones that go on for a long time. Just go to the claw. Only sound that develops constantly to that. Like a cloud as im digging into the cliff is the meaning of elusive, of these concealing the month. It is full of i just seen the mistake discussions with on to the as far the invite, always took a very long time because we spoke different languages. I kept trying to bring everything down to a scientific evaluation thing a on dad had phone that. He didnt think that what happens in the brain was all that important. Jimmy got tubs of his. She thought that the main thing was that the babies ended up feeling better. Do space, sit on the hot, but i told him that i actually wanted to know what happens boss, and how it affects wellbeing. Yes, the small to lemme and then you just do government eh, cda and then it became about stimulating the children after relax. Ations gave, in other words, to give themselves the wake them up where you do that arouse their curiosity to wonder. What is that . Where does it come from . See Something Like a bell ringing, for example, um uh, lets see. Shared with you, but im thinking the surprises. Im well, we need this instrumental. Good, serious. Got you. Now let me play at a level well, what do you say is when i was in geneva for the 1st time youre mine, this was the instrument. They reacted to most actually on the pickets. A snake charmer is fluid from india. Its hard to play. And so you have to practice long and hard to make nice sounds, but ill give it a shot or for the babies, relaxing music and science. The study became something of a global sensation, a photographer from national geographic, showed up in geneva. The results fascinated everyone. Dont see it. So for me being able to prove this scientifically with this project was a fantastic experience. Pretty big. Is it these fontose degree for me . Not to the is one of the children who were exposed regularly to and to the us fall invite as music. Whether the experience also strengthens Neural Networks and infants at the Later Development stages is currently under investigation. The parents of the children are thankful for the musical experiment. So lisa, the problem was that the universal. Yep. There was a way for me to give her an activity. When you have your baby at home, you can play with all their limits to what you can do at the neo natal logy station. But i had the feeling that nancy la got something from the music and that through it, i was doing my job as a mother. So some of us you, hey, is ive been, ill put you on the phantom club. I the memo, its due to the long conversations between the scientist and the musician paid off in the end. Lets see what happens in our brains when we listen to music. Thats the kind of question being explored in the field of neuroscience. Another is how to develop human machine interfaces and devices that can be controlled by thought. In that area, a researcher at one of europes Largest University hospitals is trying to break new ground. He collects fountain pens from all over the world in a small way. The hobby acts as a kind of analog counter way to his research, which is a lot less tangible. So you assume spends most of his time studying the around 86000000000 neurons that make up an incredibly complex organ the human brain. And hes been doing so since his University Days back in the 19 ninetys decided the economy scale and that was the decade of the brain. There was a lot of hype about all the imaging techniques at the time and what could be explored. I found it incredibly fascinating that we could practically watch the brain think on, im going to cope and couldnt today the research or does just that. With technology thats grown, much more advanced at the chevy tay University Hospital and Research Clinic and berlin. He develops high tech for the brain. For people with paralysis, for example, like you to show its using electrodes. The doctor 1st establishes a connection between the patients brain and the computer. The electro and stuff la graphic illustrates how active the different connected areas of the patients brain are today. Its important data for developing machine supported therapies. So use, so could cause the process calibration just an page that has also benefited from his research which has led to a better understanding of processes in the brain. And thats helped her get her life back on track. She suffered from depression for almost 30 years. What was it just flushed in. Um you have to imagine that you feel home and saw nowadays my how you have no strength at all when you can concentrate on the of this as soon as you, its not like you always have a jumble. Looks on some more like theres nothing wow at all now. And every little task feels almost insurmountable. Its just getting dress store, cleaning yourself up sometimes takes the whole day, just the show much. Montague has become for years houston boost took antidepressants that cause severe side effects. She tried many different treatments and repeatedly suffered severe relapses. Then she heard about a technique so your circuit has explored. Its called repetitive trans cranial magnetic stimulation. This in the symmetric group, i mean, we know for example that and people with depression, people who have depressive symptoms. The left frontal brain is not activated as strongly as it is under normal circumstances. And with this method, we can specifically module 8 the activity in the left frontal brain. That kind of re orients this area, creating a situation where new connections can also occur. Or changes in brain dynamics. For in the whom do not make code developed by the research or the therapy was approved in 2018 treatment is painless and has just one side effect. A noticeable improvement in the patients state of mind. The device is used in the mask that are constantly being refined and the institutes own workshop. The aim is to taylor them even better to specific new ronel dysfunction in individual patients in the future. So good are wants to use magnetic stimulation to plum even deeper limbeck regions beyond the frontal brain takito showed so a special ed, so skeleton for his hand was produced as part of his treatment, a godsend for the patient. After brain tumors, surgery, he was no longer able to move his left arm on my back, then nothing happened. Id wait for it, but not even a twitch will fight not missed it. So, or just 30 or 40 years ago, the Expert Consensus was the deadline or of sales were irretrievably lost. We now know that other neurons can take over their functions. The brain is incredibly flexible. Circuit says its surprising how many everyday tasks require to hands and how much not being able to use a lamb can restrict autonomy. But with a little more than the power of his thoughts, the electrodes attached to his body and a machine that converts those thoughts into commands for the exoskeleton shorts. It has now regained some of his motor skills. And those do that explicitly. And then with his exoskeleton, i suddenly thought i want to close that ended close to a few weeks. So i was flooded with happiness hormones and thought, hey, theres still time i can get my life back on me. Thats what would come and see it couldnt associate this, we can develop as Much Technology as we want. Yeah. But ultimately it has to help individuals and their everyday lives. So you know, so good our works towards that goal every day. Probing the depths and possibilities of the human brain. We imagined about fines. Im technology thats like dw signs is now im take time. Whats to be fun . Why do gravitational ways that that is when did people begin getting high and laughing gas out . The drums boogie to the beads. And whats the passage kid . 4. 5, find the on says gets most c w science. Oh, new tick, tock channel. To talk you, the results are also being achieved in Cancer Research with one method called car t. So therapy, the patients own immune cells are genetically modified to recognize and destroy their cancer. Some Success Stories on on college, just hoping for a revolution funds banner, it is a living example of how powerful a new form of Cancer Therapy with so called car t cells can be 2 years ago he was diagnosed with malignant lymphoma. The conventional treatments for it had little to no effect on the device from then its pretty much certain when you have half a year to a year, and thats it as well as a last resort. The medical team, its kind of about University Hospital suggested car t cell therapy, a method thats only been available for a few years. The idea behind it is to get t cells to recognize pathogens and cancer cells. The defensive cells have binding sites called adage and receptors, which allow them to recognise and dot com to harmful cells. These can then be destroyed by the immune system. In car t cell therapy patients t cells are genetically modified in the laboratory that causes a new receptor to form on its surface. These car t cells are then multiplied. Theres super power, a new receptor which allows them to recognize the cells. So these also play a role in the immune system. The cells can develop into malignant cancer cells. The car t cells have been specialized to recognize them and render them harmless. Hard to cell therapies are being researched at Germanys National center for tumor diseases and hide about even the experts have been impressed by the success rates. The idaho sized dawson gets the most impressive data has been in the treatment of childhood leukemia. Square car t cell approaches can actually cure 80 percent of children who would otherwise have no other Treatment Options at all positions. Higher income success rates and adults are somewhat lower, but even in them with some tumor types around half of all patients have had long lasting effect. Still, the treatment can be tough to take. The infusion with altered cells can cause a serious immune reaction. Hands bound that was hospitalized for 3 weeks after getting at the new therapy may also have side effects that arent yet know. So its currently only given to patients who have no other option. Still, the approach appears quite promising. The contents, and im glad i think car 2 cells that i showed in a new era and on college. And when you talk about self therapies with genetically manipulate itself, so it always sounds a little negative. But in this case, i find it extremely positive. Say im good such therapies have been shown to be rudely effective, had extremely specific savings fits the 1st time comes. What special is the treatment happens with living cells which remain permanently effective in the blood . However, in germany, car t cell therapy is currently only available for specific types of blood cancer or tumors of the lymph nodes and bone marrow. Specifically moment 9, and at the moment it only impacts a small area of oncology. It is a narrow spectrum of diseases that can be treated quite effectively. But in the majority of cancers, the future of car 2 cell therapies are still are relatively open questions unless youve alternate. And the therapy is also highly individualized, which means its expensive. It costs up 2380000 euro is per infusion touchscreen, how to use and off the good. That sounds like a lot of money, of course. And it is a lot of money. On the other hand, if a therapies with a certain probability on you can lead to permanent Disease Control after a single dose, and then such sums are justifiable. This is also his own and they could even turn out to be possibly cheaper than conventional long term drug sarah. So you might be to maybe come into this and talk for hundreds, bound out the treatment appears to be paid off 6 months after receiving his car to sell therapy infusion, theres still no signs of recurrence. Hes helpful that is malignant lymphoma wont come back. The let is read, why are they . So if you have a special science question, send it to us as a video, text or voice mail. If we answer it on the show, well send you a little present as well. Thank you. Come on, just as and this weeks view, a question comes from who l. E . A in egypt. Why does our hair turn great . Actually gray hairs are not really grey at all, they are white, but layered with surrounding hair of different colors of white hairs can make the hair as a whole appear great. The pigment, melanin is responsible for hair color in humans. Thats also the pigment that determines eye and skin color, the melanin, and the hair forms in its roots, in particular cells, the melana sides, they produce 2 different chemical types, the pigment, black, brown, you, melanin, and c o melanin, which is reddish yellow. The amounts and mixture of these 2 compounds determines your hair color. The older you get though, the less melanin symbol level sites produce. Instead colorless bubbles of oxygen to accumulate in the hair, making it look white. Exactly when the 1st white heres appear varies from person to person. Most people start to find that between the ages of 30 and 50, but it comes down to your genes. If parents go grey, when still young, the trait can be passed on to their children. But your hair cant turn gray over night. As some legends claim, the french Queen Marie Antoinette is said to have gone great the night before she was be headed in 1793. 00. But green is by its nature, a gradual process. Once i hear good goes past the scale, it no longer changes color. And since even white hair only grows between 1. 00 and 1. 00 and a half centimeters a month, theres at least a little time to get used to the new lot. In denmark, many smaller clinic, 6, it was through doors in the last few years. As the countries Health Care Services are being gathered into 16 giant facilities, the idea to centralize expertise and activities to improve quality and efficiency. Lets take a look behind the scenes at a danish super hospital around 150 kilometers from copenhagen. Com who is University Hospital is a huge complex that houses more than 40 medical departments and employees nearly 5 and a half 1000 doctors in nursing staff over a 1000000 patients are treated here annually. Its a hospital of support. That is the morning meeting in the narrow Surgery Department begins at 8 oclock at physician go on fund hunting, and is given an overview by the award nurse how many beds are occupied, what operations are scheduled . Were there any medical emergencies during the night to to then look over the digital patient files, which nurse is looking after . Which patient the digital system makes the doctors work easier about music. We work a lot with the electronic patient journal systems, and that makes it very easy to plan your own day plan. It also makes it simple to perform tasks like those that can be done remotely remote lose. Now that the doctor has been well briefed rounds on the board can begin or stop is a patient named pierre. The neurosurgeon operated on the 54 year old yesterday to remove a tumor, a difficult procedure together to, to look at the medical findings and discuss how the surgery went. The brain scans indicate that all is well after the doctor was able to successfully remove the tumor. The patient is scheduled to leave the clinic today, less than 24 hours after the tricky operation. Short hospital stays are part of the concept, and this is chanel and im, im guessing. Is it fast to have brain surgery and be sent home the next day . Yes, maybe you should, but its safe because the patient is very well prepared. Just the entire staff is kept up to date on the patients condition via the central platform called the blackboard. It contains all patient information. For example, the exact doses of medication for each case are registered here and can be viewed by everyone involved in treatment that occupancy and Staffing Levels are also listed. Do you feel a certainty, the, and in the information we exchange . Its a meeting involves capacity on the one hand, but its also clinical data. You should invest, in other words, just because there are certain patient info thats important for the operation. In for me, we also use it to assign surgical nurses to operating room and off the or what she wants. Kind of, she has time, an item will piece. This is the heart of the clinic and internal tracking and tracing system. More than 3000. 00 transponders are installed in the corridors and patient rooms. The box track, the exact location of beds and medical devices. 45000 transmitters are attached to every important piece of hospital equipment. The tracking tool is a huge help for nurses like ashley. Right now she wants to know where to find the next available, ultra sound machine, but the system can also help her quickly track down a free bed for an urgently needed head doctor. There are mobile very sions on handheld devices for staff who are on the move. The system is unique in a hospital setting. Its a 4500000. 00 euro investments that is paid off, helping the clinic save money on stuff without making concessions in care. The ultrasound device, nurse ashley is looking for is located a floor below, or one of the masterminds behind the new danish super hospitals. As judge muller kid is on a professor of Health Economics at the university of Southern Denmark and odenza, his goal was to achieve shorter treatment times while improving the quality of medical treatment in general. If we look at the situation before and after, i think its fair to say that after we get better services, higher quality, better educated, the doctors, etc. So essentially from a patient perspective, it is a considerable improvement. The only improvement that theres not included in that is that the distance to the hospital has increased later that morning, head physician, go on front hunting and has surgery scheduled, and hes surrounded by the best doctors in the country. Because people with the most medically demanding Health Care Issues are now treated at the super clinics from brain surgery to heart transplants. Specialists from a wide range of fields come together. And of course, theres a team of experts involved in every case that has big benefits for doctors and training, but above all, for danish patients. That wrap things up this time around for tomorrow today to sign show on dw, thanks for joining us.
