👁A new way to heal hearts without surgery
‌
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣At the intersection of medical invention and indigenous culture, pediatric cardiologist Franz Freudenthal mends holes in the hearts of children across the world, using a device born from traditional Bolivian loom weaving. \"The most complex problems in our time,\" he says, \"can be solved with simple techniques, if we are able to dream.\"

👁The brain may be able to repair itself -- with help
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣Through treating everything from strokes to car accident traumas, neurosurgeon Jocelyne Bloch knows the brain's inability to repair itself all too well. But now, she suggests, she and her colleagues may have found the key to neural repair: Doublecortin-positive cells. Similar to stem cells, they are extremely adaptable and, when extracted from a brain, cultured and then re-injected in a lesioned area of the same brain, they can help repair and rebuild it. \"With a little help,\" Bloch says, \"the brain may be able to help itself.\"

👁How does heart transplant surgery work?
🧠Roni Shanoada
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣Your heart beats more than 100,000 times a day. In just a minute, it pumps over five liters of blood throughout your body. But unlike skin and bones, the heart has a limited ability to repair itself. So if this organ is severely damaged, there's often only one medical solution: replacing it. Roni Shanoada explores how this complex and intricate procedure works. [Directed by Alexia Roider, Zedem Media, narrated by Addison Anderson].

👁The miracle of organ donation — and a breakthrough for the future
🧠Abbas Ardehali
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English

👣Organ transplants save lives, but they come with challenges: every minute a healthy donated organ is on ice increases risk. And even if things go perfectly, rejection of the organ is still possible. Cardiothoracic surgeon Abbas Ardehali introduces cutting-edge medical advances in machine perfusion — a portable platform that keeps organs alive outside of the body — that could help put time back on the patient's side.

👁Can you transplant a head to another body?
🧠Max G. Levy
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣In 1970, neurosurgeon Robert White and his team carted two monkeys into an operating room to conduct an ambitious experiment. The objective was to connect the head of Monkey A to the body of Monkey B, in what he considered a whole-body transplant, with the ultimate goal of one day performing this surgery on humans. Is such a feat even medically possible? And is it ethical? Max G. Levy investigates. [Directed by Anton Bogaty, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Greg Chudzik, Cem Misirlioglu].

👁What does appendix pain feel like?
🧠David R. Flum
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣In 1961, an Antarctic expedition took a harrowing turn: Dr. Leonid Rogozov began feeling feverish, with an excruciating pain in his right side. It soon became clear that he had appendicitis. While Rogozov’s predicament was extreme, appendicitis is not uncommon; affecting roughly one in 12 people. So, what causes appendicitis? And why is this organ so prone to bursting? David R. Flum investigates. [Directed by Igor Ćorić, Artrake Studio, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Salil Bhayani, cAMP Studio].
