Gives basic first-aid techniques to help an injured dog in the first critical moments after a medical emergency occurs until the dog can be transported to a veterinarian. Covers: what's normal for my dog, scene safety, muzzles, rescue breathing, CPR, choking, fractures, car accidents, shock, poisoning, snakebites and more. Lists what to include in a pet first-aid kit. Recommended by ASPCA.

Why is there such an alarming increase in the number of children with food allergies? More than three times as many children have food allergies now than twenty years ago. And one out of every three children is now allergic to something, be it food, animals, or plants. In searching for a fix, scientists are upending the conventional wisdom about what causes allergies and how to deal with them.
Basic diagram of the parts of the human brain. Design modalities for the image include braille with and without labels, print with and without labels in greyscale, color, and texture.

Diagram of the internal organs of a frog as shown in a dissection. Design modalities for the image include braille with and without labels, print with and without labels in greyscale, color, and texture.
Gives basic first-aid techniques to help an injured cat in the first critical moments after a medical emergency occurs until the cat can be transported to a veterinarian. Covers: what's normal for my cat, scene safety, restraints, rescue breathing, CPR, choking, car accidents, poisoning, burns, heatstroke and more. Lists what to include in a pet first-aid kit. Recommended by ASPCA.
Follows a family's unplanned Cesarean birth from early labor through recovery. An obstetrician explains the Cesarean procedure and discusses ways to minimize risk. Shows the surgical procedure using 3-D animation. Presents information on breast-feeding and recovery, and how to make a Cesarean birth a fulfilling experience. NOTE: Concludes with graphic footage of an actual Cesarean surgery.
Residents of Flint, Michigan describe their personal struggles with medical issues which arose from contaminated water. Lead from aging lines leached into the local water supply, along with bacteria and other contaminants, creating a serious health crisis. This documentary highlights the stories of residents who were personally injured, along with the work of local organizations and individuals that rallied to support them.
Patients who have suffered devastating facial injuries sometimes go to great lengths to hide themselves from public view. At the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, civil and mechanical engineer Glaucio Paulino saw the possibilities of combining engineering and medical skills to tackle the complex challenge of facial reconstruction. Part of the National Science Foundation Series “Science Nation.”
With recent advances in genetic and reproductive technology, couples can now rely on science to avoid giving birth to children with various genetic conditions. Explores the medical and ethical dilemmas that two couples face as they plan the birth of a child who may inherit their own genetic condition (dwarfism in one case, cystic fibrosis in the other). Bioethicists question the use of technology to ensure parents give birth only to a healthy child. NOTE: Includes footage of a baby being born via Caesarian section.
In this episode, host Mo Rocca highlights the future of fast ground travel via a hyperloop and discusses a smartphone game that also provides an abs workout. Researchers and medical professionals are using a camera to help check for sun damage. Part of "The Henry Ford Innovation Nation With Mo Rocca" series.
To diagnose prostate cancer, urologists John Wei and pathologists, Scott Tomlins, at the University of Michigan Medical Center, use biomarkers, which are biochemical signatures in blood, urine, and tissue that suggest the disease may be present. With support from the National Science Foundation, engineer Brian Denton is working with a multidisciplinary team that includes Wei and Tomlins to develop a quicker and less expensive way to evaluate biomarkers, using computational models. Part of the National Science Foundation Series “Science Nation.”
The sense of touch is an invisible force of human nature. Today, touch is undergoing a revolution. Science has pushed the limits of nature thanks to technological touch. It is now possible to touch objects virtually that are invisible or located thousands of kilometers away. A simple movement in the air is enough to control them. Medical technology has even succeeded in giving a sense of touch to bionic limbs made of metal, plastic, wires, and processors. Slowly but surely, prostheses are starting to perform better than natural limbs. Part of the “Human + The Future of Our Senses” series.
Peoples’ attitudes about marijuana have changed dramatically over the years, but one thing is certain--marijuana changes the way the brain functions. The THC in marijuana enters the lungs, is absorbed into the bloodstream, and enters the brain almost immediately. Viewers will understand the immediate effects of marijuana use on various body systems. This program also discusses the effects of marijuana on attention, memory, and learning. Part of the "Talk It Out" series.
In 1928, a physician named Alexander Fleming observed that a mold in one of his Petri dishes was killing the bacteria he was trying to grow. This strain of mold led to one of the most significant medical discoveries in history: the antibiotic penicillin. Antibiotics soon became lifesavers. However, even back then, Fleming knew that bacteria could become resistant to penicillin. This video describes how widespread use of antibiotics in medicine, agriculture, and household products can lead to the evolution of microbes that are resistant to multiple antibiotics. Part of the "I Contain Multitudes" series.
Diagram of a cross-section of the internal view of a human eye. Design modalities for the image include braille with and without labels, print with and without labels in greyscale, color, and texture.
Genetic and neurological research has led to increasingly sophisticated medical capabilities, resulting in a growing number of moral and ethical quandaries. Surveys recent milestones in biology, many of which have produced as much controversy as insight. Reporting on the newly identified anti-aging gene SIR2 and the cross-species implantation of stem cells, it also inquires into artificial limb technology, the dynamics of the teenage brain, and the storage of environmental toxins in the human body. A visit to the American Bible Belt, including Kentucky's Creationist Museum, highlights the ongoing debate over human origins.
The connections between neurons in the brain are involved in everything humans do, and no one’s pattern is the same. Imagine the medical breakthroughs if doctors understood more about the brain’s circuitry. With support from the National Science Foundation, neuroscientist and psychiatrist Karl Deisseroth and his multidisciplinary team at Stanford University have developed a new imaging technology that essentially makes the brain transparent. They can then generate detailed 3-D images that highlight specific neuronal networks. Deisseroth has named this process “CLARITY.” Part of the National Science Foundation Series “Science Nation.”
With support from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Emerging Frontiers of Research and Innovation (EFRI) program, bioengineer Gert Cauwenberghs, of the Jacobs School of Engineering and the Institute for Neural Computation at the University of California (UC), San Diego, and his colleagues are working to understand how brain circuitry controls how we move. The goal is to develop new technologies to help patients with Parkinson's disease and other debilitating medical conditions navigate the world on their own. Part of the National Science Foundation Series “Science Nation.”
In the top story, Katie speaks with a group of teens who are raising money for Save the Children. Save the Children is an organization that helps kids around the world by providing food, shelter, medicine, and a brighter future. Eden debunks some common health advice. She gets the facts on: going outside with wet hair, how long gum stays in your stomach, whether or not milk actually helps people sleep, and if scaring someone is an effective cure for hiccups. Magdalene reports on the internal navigation of humpbacked whales. Scientists have found that humpbacked whales can do a thousand-mile trip in almost a perfectly straight line. Other segments include the history behind Florida's state flag and the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, D.C. Part of the "Teen Kids News" series.
