The schleck their brand is well known across europe at the companys peak entente schleicher operated fourteen thousand stores and thirteen European Countries a portrait of the selfmade german mogul hung in every branch of what was once one of the biggest family dynasties in germany now a court and stood guard has given the businessman a suspended prison sentence of two years. With his children however lars and Micah Schleicher will be going behind bars for nearly three years. Once it became clear to schleck or that his company would go bankrupt he moved around millions of euros in the Company Money that the court says belong to the drugstore chains creditors. Some of that money went to a Logistics Company belonging to entente selectors children. They siphon millions from that company before it filed for bankruptcy that led to their harsher sentencing.

Foreign Companies Operating in china that employ three or more communist Party Members must allow those workers to set up a party sell for many years this was just symbolic but pressure is mounting on these firms to comply which has them worried about government interference.

Some five thousand German Companies have operations in china with investments last year of six point seven billion euros. Carmaker votes of are going to employees ninety five thousand workers at its factories in china and generic giant bosch has sixty thousand on its payroll there siemens has just over half that number. First of all i think you can set up these pardons cells always been set up by pardon and when there are three Party Members within the company then you can set up a party so i think the difference where would we have some examples is that they have been the companies have been actively approached to support that i think this is the difference that we are seeing i mean setting up pardon cells and also more influence of the party is not a completely new thing in china. Beijing says the cells are meant to help Companies Better understand chinese policies and to settle disputes but pressure from the Chinese Government is making it harder for companies to do business.

Welcome to in good shape coming up re nose syndrome when your fingers turned white and no. Food and pharmaceuticals avoiding the wrong combinations. And gallbladder conditions when its time to go under the knife. And heres your host dr custom lego tat i mean in the days when i was a medical student when we opened up in the dorm and it to me cos everything was right inside the human body but something stick out and it was green it was amazing Something Green inside the body it was a gold letter today were going to talk about the gold letter here at berlin at the here used and being welcome to in good shape and im going to meet the chief surgeon dr mark young but first i gonna screw up again because im going into the. If you suffer from goldstones we can remove the goldberger and dont worry you can live without it. In my practice i often see patients who are afraid to eat any fairy foods because they immediately experience stomach is a g. P. My first thought is this could be the goblet or. From forty onward women especially can experience serious pain in the upper abdomen near the liver attach to that large organ is a much smaller one for gallbladder a site like structure acts as a storage vessel for bio a liquid produced in the liver but helps break down fat in the small intestine with age gallstones often form in the gallbladder theyre not everyone has symptoms. But if the consumption of fatty foods coffee table wine regularly causes abdominal pain and inflamed gall bladder could be the cause. The only treatments then pain relievers and antibiotics however if the inflammation becomes chronic the organ has to be surgically removed leaving the bile duct connecting the liver and intestine intact i with professor halls and now hes she certainly one of the heroes clinics in the theodore thanks for inviting me here today we talked about goldstone. Problems can cause girls. Can cause a pain in the up down in the upper abdomen and people suffer from. Pain after eating a lot of fat or nuts for example. Hate it and its pretty common problem so how do you know that this is a story which is called. The most important diagnosis which can also. Cause. Pain abdominal pain is gastritis or are cause of the stomach. So it it how do you distinguish between so on the one hand we have the ultrasound for detecting the goldstones and on the other hand we do trust copy to find out whether there is a gastritis or not some people getting gold. Yes there are some risk factors like obesity age and women get it more often so if you take. What if the patient suffers from pain or any disease from the goldstones we have to operate on them and take out a goal that the goals dont come in different shapes and sizes doesnt matter how big goals are some more painful big. No theres no difference between the size of gold gold gold stones we find here the yellow ones. Cause through old stone the biliteral been stored for black ones there is a special risk for stone so that the small size they can move into the main bio dark and cause jaundice if you take girls to do you always have to take the go out only in cases where the patient suffers from in the pain or problems caused by the stones and picking out the gold is the main treatment for this kind of disease so theres no use in taking any medication to to try to. Remove them. In generally know only for very few cases this might be a possible treatment so can have good stools and if they dont make any problems you can just leave the side gears of cause without any symptoms so you dont have to operate on gallstones but if you have to remove them you know its using my creativity and we can join you in one of those going through the years i am with you its very exciting. Those pictures you can get from inside the body a very impressive but but what are the benefits of an end of copeck operation compared to the Old Fashioned way. The benefit is especially for the for the patient because he will suffer from less pain after the operation and the scar the incision is much smaller and these are the main advantages for the patient so its a nice a cosmetic result on the tummy area then the most important advantage for the patient is less pain after the operation and does it also mean that the patient can leave the hospital early because it is not so traumatic theres no really evidence that the patient is able to get out of the hospital early after this type of operation but in some cases it might be years. So you removing the goblet of completely because of the stones why dont you just remove the stones and leave the bladder inside because the stones were really a cure. This disease is a disease of the goal there so we have to remove the gobbler there in this case is especially because there is a slight infection of the gall bladder. In kidney stones you can use sound waves to destroy the stone skin can you use him in gold or the stones as well you can use them but only in very special patients the standard treatment for gold birders with problems with pain and infection is the removing of the removal of the gallbladder after you remove the goal that one might think that the pain is over and there are no problems remaining but this is not always so. It began many years ago. Started to feel weak and tired for weeks on end she just had. No energy it was no obvious cause. But something did strike her as very odd. Minute. My urine was very dark really brown i told my mother and she said to go to the doctor straight away because its probably the gall bladder put in his washer on even. An ultrasound examination revealed that she had about sixty stones in her gall bladder and it had become inflamed. Apparently it had not functioned properly for years. The gall bladder is a sack below the liver that stores bile produced in the liver
