We are so clever of the reason control the risk that its one. Of Investment Bankers thought or so with the first start everybody was wrong to want you to ignore the reality that the whole thing might blow up in most places of a system that spawned out of control little bubbles that will. Cause the lives of. The crushed Investment BankLehman Brothers start september thirteenth w. Hello and welcome to a new edition of tamara today the science show on t w. Coming up on the program. Fresh brewed coffee is it healthy or not. Our skin is literally crawling with millions of minute creatures. Educational concept the Discovery Tour could prove very useful for schools and museums. Normally we wait we make a game for entertainment for fun and we do discrepancies with history with which we create the narrative we create the story this time around were used the same environments but its not about conflict anymore its not about the narrative its a little more about taking the time to explore. After a while developers realize that some of the hieroglyphs Ancient Egyptian writing can be extremely difficult to decode that gave them an idea for a Research Project which google wanted to support. Realize that theres a technical potential to decipher a billiard with it to make it more accessible it takes years and years for someone to learn how your glyphs that youre with over them where as when we use a computer and a human we can do it easier. The computer uses Artificial Intelligence the
coffee can help prevent someone from having a heart attack or getting Neurological Disease or cancer thats going too far. Overall what is true is that the study has shown for the first time that affects also verifiable effects could exist. Nutrition expert questions ina is a big fan of the beverage both privately and professionally he recommends coffee to patients with diseases of the liver. Theres no disputing that Caffeine Consumption has a strong protective effect when it comes to Liver Disease not just in terms of helping to reduce inflammation but also in hindering Liver Fibrosis pathological changes to its connective tissue. For patients who have to actually live a disease not caused by excessive Alcohol Consumption seen a recommends up to six cups of coffee a day he says one compound in particular plays a key role. For the caffeine in coffee or first specific cell types in
the liver by inhibiting their activity. And in the end that helps forestall Liver Fibrosis and that in turn stops the advance of Liver Failure or cirrhosis. Researches at the university of kaiser is loud turn in Western Germany have discovered that coffee can even affect your genes. Were able to show that the regular consumption of coffee protects d. N. A. And that in turn could be associated with prevention of degenerative diseases like cancer or alzheimers. In that four weeks study the researchers looked at d. N. A. Isolated from the blood of eighty four men half of the Test Subjects strength three large cups of black coffee a day the other half drank the same amount of water. In the end the team examines d. N. A. Samples from both groups. Thats just it in africa is the
d. N. A. From two cells on the left hand side is the damage d. N. A. Is pretty diffuse thats because these fine breaks in the molecules create this halo effect live on the right as a cell with little or no damage to the d. N. A. We were able to show that four weeks of Coffee Consumption in our Test Subjects reduced this minor damage. To. The way the coffee is prepared has an impact on this effect Espresso Beans a roasted longer than those for drip coffee that reduces the amount of acid in the concentrated shot making it easier on the stomach but filtered coffee contains less of the compounds caff a stolen car will two substances that have a negative effect on Cholesterol Levels in the blood they dont pass through the filter so for those who have high Cholesterol Levels filter coffee is the better choice. Because of it stimulating effect cardiologists used to warn heart
patients to stay away from coughing but theyve now changed their minds. And you mentioned some people have Heart Palpitations after two cups or higher Blood Pressure those patients should stop with one. But if you like to drink up to five cups a day and tolerate it well then from a medical Point Of View there is no reason to stop. The. Exceptions to that rule are pregnant women or those who show symptoms of bone loss as well as patients with cardiac arrhythmia. The study shows that Drinking Coffee could have negative effects in such cases there are more than a thousand compounds in Coffee Research is still trying to figure out exactly which arent good for you you could just has a little shall we have to look and see whether we can enrich a particular substances in the beans and whether well be able to isolate them for possible uses medications thats the Direction Research is taking over. Its
a given thing if this notion of execution. Thats entailed then go ahead and treat yourself to a tasty cup of java. Whether its good for us or not one thing coffee does have is a distinct aroma. How does a little smell test is it when you find nice or unpleasant and what about fish or lemons. Germans tend to associate the scent of lemons with kenyan this but for Spaniards Chlorine smells fresh blood russians feel a waft of light that smells clean now tell you from poland wants to know more about whats in those know. Why do we experience some smells as pleasant and others much less so. Lavender what a wonderful scent. The process of smelling itself is very complex after inhaling the said molecules bind to specific sites on all factory receptors
there are Three Hundred Fifty different kinds each is specialized for certain smells. The Odor Information reaches the long term memory and has strong connections to emotional centers. Whether or not wed like a scent mainly depends on the context in which we first smelled it. We First Experience many smells when were very young even while still in the womb or later as an infant. By the way smelling is also important for Flavor Perceptions ninety percent of them arise not on the tongue but via our Factory Signals whether or not truffles taste good largely depends on whether we like the aroma. Sense awaken memories and can put us in a particular mood thats why the Purview Ministry is so profitable. Apart from that
how we re used and social conventions also play a role. Takes what for example that smells bad at least thats what weve been taught thats why some go to Great Lengths to mask it. The problem is read write obert rather than leave it. To you have a Science Question that youve always wanted on say it were happy to help out send it to us as a Video Text Ovoid Smell if we are straight on the show or send you a little surprise as a thank you come on just ask. Youll find us online at the d w Dot Com Slash Science and of course on twitter and facebook so get in touch. Did you know that more organisms live on your skin than they are people on earth does that make your skin crawl it shouldnt we need that epidermal ensemble minute
might spread sample they live on and in our Hair Follicles their favorite meal seba but when this monogamy is out of balance you might find yourself with an x. To scratch. It makes sense to take good care of your skin because its far more complex than it looks the average person has almost five million haris all over their body a miniature forest and habited by a host of tiny organisms. Among them Bacteria Viruses found die of months its a microscopic zoo and if all its inhabitants are in equilibrium your skin does just fine. But when they arent you can develop conditions like any topic dermatitis. Reuben heritable has had skin. Problems all his life at least in part due to imbalances in
his micro biota with help from the latest research he hopes his skin will soon be able to heal itself. Claims the inflammations i get can hurt quite a lot of. Dermatologists painter Shmeat Glendon Maya is convinced that the distribution of microorganisms on the skin plays a central role and thats how. You carry a range of microorganisms some are good for the skin for instance they can protected by renewing its lip at layer but there are also microorganisms that are harmful that can cause infections or as is the case with a topic dermatitis to make them worse usually. So what makes microorganisms trigger a topic dermatitis and research is that a Swiss Alpine Clinic in the town of davos are trying to find out theyre carrying out a joint study with environmental Medicine Specialist claudia title hoffmann from alex
brick university in germany. Not only to theres a lot going on in the field of a talk that demi titus. The dermatologist takes skin swabs she wants to use the samples to measure whats called the Skin Microbiome by identifying every species of microbe that lives on the patients inflamed skin. Its our work currently focuses on the micro biome and weve discovered that its not in equilibrium in patients with a topic damage titus and other chronic Skin Diseases there were microbes called stuff like caucus oreos predominates and other species a few are further between. The outer surface of the human body is a biosphere in its own right around One Hundred BillionBacteria Viruses fungal and mites live on each and every one of us together with microbes that live and find us they make up the micro biome. A babys first exposure to microbes occurs during
birth when it comes into contact with its mothers flora thats why an individuals microbiome is similar to that of other family members. But similar does not mean identical. Microbiomes are unique just like fingerprints. And throughout our lives the microbiome constantly interacts with the environment we pass our microbes along to objects people and animals and receive there is a return to healthy Microbiome Researchers believe its stable because its diverse. Cloudier title hoffman is now trying to determine who and how to exact microbial makeup. Thats no easy task because there is no way to distinguish between species under a microscope. Each bacteria
virus or fungus has to be identified genetically through d. N. A. Testing. And. Its a laborious process. We all know the gene data looks confusing if you dont know how to read it. You know but Ruben Hurtles Results are clear cut. Here then you can see here is that our patient with serious a topic dermatitis has a lot of stuff. On his skin this red bar here thats it in fact that saw compare this to results from a healthy subjects the picture there is much more colorful a mass how it should be health is closely tied to microbial diversity. In an attempt to influence the micro biome the dermatologist applies a special cream to a test area she wants to encourage the growth of microorganisms that will help supplant the overly dominant Staphylococcus Aureus its an approach that could
spark a revolution and allergy therapy very good anyhow if we can make an improvement here and well finally have acquired some tools with which we could help many patients with the haitian. Who reuben hagel is hopeful the treatment will work. If it does he might soon have a cream to change his Skin Micro Biome for the better. Hopefully the cream will work. But all medications that we run into our skin all swallow eventually end up in our water and ultimately inside of us that al was it could soon be clear and clean in. A romantic little river in southern germany. Clarified water from a nearby Sewage Treatment plant feeds into it it seems clean but looks can be deceiving that water still contains residues from drugs like painkillers
antibiotics and Blood Pressure medication many rivers in germany now contain heightened concentrations of the Pain Reliever Di cliff a knack even though some sources of Drinking Water but thats not the only reason why Water Chemists at the Regional Environment Office are concerned about Drug Residues. In the student being a stickler for not we can prove with our own studies that even at low concentrations of an act has an effect on organisms in the water for trout for instance which causes changes in their gills and in the kidneys and were also focusing on former for example Birth Control pills which in extreme cases they can lead to the feminization of organisms so for preventive reasons we dont want these substances and Drinking Water because. Thats why a team of environmental scientist taking part in a Pilot Project at a very and Sewage Treatment plant is now trying to filter Drug Residues out of
waste water its a real challenge because medicines dont break down easily. By made the comment of corn to be effective medications have to fulfill certain criteria they must be stable but resistant. They need to have a long shelf life and reach certain parts of the body where theyre needed so they have to remain stable during and sematic reactions. That stability is also the reason why the body doesnt completely absorbed medications so a proportion of the medications you take are eliminated by urine. Up to seventy percent of the dye cliff and knock you swallow is excrete again residue from creams and gels is also rinsed away in the shower bath and ends up in the waste water. The Bavarian Researches have built a reactor that can break down stable Drug Residues in It Wastewater is pulsed with
ozone the process is already used to kill. But it also breaks down drug residue into their constituent parts. Samples of waste water that have been treated with ozone illustrate how well it works theyre carefully analyzed by vanoc rifa noises colleagues at the Regional Environment Office they conduct tests for example in a comparison untreated samples turned Reddish Orange Samples treated with ozone remain clear. But ignore warnings even when it comes to hormones were very satisfied after ozone nation there are practically undetectible but with other medications the situation isnt quite as rosy we have some good rates of degradation over ninety percent for example with type of a knock on average were at about eighty five percent but thats not quite good enough since some of these medications like Blood Pressure drugs are not completely
broken down by ozone nation another aspect is that the process of degradation could create problematic transformation products. So otoh no login isnt sufficient thats why in an additional treatment step the bavarian team is also testing two different Filter Systems the first employs salmon bacteria. The second uses Activated Carbon granules in early trials it was much more effective thats because the compounds left over after the nation and here are readily to their uneven surface but the system has a drawback after two years that the latest the Activated Carbon particles are covered completely they cant absorb any more so the filters have to be swapped out and cleaned. Just complicated and expensive. Thats why the researchers have high hopes for a new Activated Carbon Process that harnesses nature. As
the sun is a kind of whats special about this granulated Activated Carbon is that when this carbon is exhausted completely fall a bio film forms on its surface and the microorganisms in this biofilm degrade the residues biologically in other words this Activated Carbon has an advantage it can clean itself that of course also brings an economic advantage because we can leave the carbon in the filter for longer and that in turn lowers Operating Costs significantly. In twenty seventeen global sales of medications it around Seven Hundred Ninety Billion dollars thats One Hundred Fifty Billion more than a decade before the race is on to find economical ways to sterilize water and remove Drug Residues but these researches have to be patient it can take about a year for a biofilm to form an Activated Carbon only then will they know whether the process could also work in large treatment plants. How often do
