Ke loaʻa nei iā ʻoe kahi maʻi ʻaleka ʻē i ka ʻiʻo ʻulaʻula? E aʻo kākou e pili ana i ka Alpha-gal Syndrome!

Ua noʻonoʻo paha ʻoe no ke aha e loaʻa ai iā ʻoe nā hōʻailona maʻi ma hope o ka ʻai ʻana i ka ʻiʻo ʻulaʻula e like me ka pipi, ka puaʻa, a i ʻole ke kao? Malia paha e loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi ʻulaʻula, a i ʻole e loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi ʻōpū huhū, a i ʻole e pilikia ʻoe i ka hanu ʻana. He mea ʻē paha ia, akā hiki nō. I kēia lā e kamaʻilio mākou e pili ana i kahi maʻi ʻē, akā he mea nui loa. Ua kapa ʻia ʻo ia ʻo Alpha-gal Syndrome.

He aha ka Alpha-gal Syndrome? E hoʻomaopopo maʻalahi kākou!

I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, ʻo ka Alpha-gal Syndrome (AGS) kahi ʻano maʻi ʻaleka meaʻai koʻikoʻi a ʻano ʻē paha e kū mai ana ke ʻai ʻoe i ka ʻiʻo ʻulaʻula mai nā mammals (no ka laʻana, ka pipi, ka puaʻa, ke kao, ka dia). Hoʻomohala pinepine ia ma hope o ka nahu ʻia ʻana e kekahi mau ʻano makika, ʻoiai inā ua nahu ʻia ʻoe i nā manawa he nui. E like me kou ʻike, he mau parasite liʻiliʻi nā makika e hoʻopili i nā holoholona a omo i ko lākou koko.

E nānā i kēia manawa, aia kekahi mau ʻuku i kahi molekole kalapona i kapa ʻia ʻo alpha-gal i loko o ko lākou lawai. Ke komo kēia molekole alpha-gal i loko o ko kākou koko ma hope o ka nahu ʻana o ka ʻuku, hiki iā ia ke hoʻolilo i ko kākou kino i mea ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi i ka ʻiʻo ʻulaʻula. ʻO ka mea e hana ʻia, ʻike ko kākou ʻōnaehana pale i ka ʻiʻo ʻulaʻula he mea ʻino i ke kino a hoʻomaka e pane kūʻē iā ia. E like me ka ʻenemi. ʻO ia ke kumu o kēlā mau hōʻailona allergy. Hiki i ka poʻe me AGS ke maʻi ʻaʻole wale i ka ʻiʻo ʻulaʻula, akā i nā huahana ʻē aʻe i loaʻa ka alpha-gal, no ka laʻana, kekahi mau lāʻau lapaʻau a me nā kopa.

ʻO ka mea pōʻino, ʻaʻohe lāʻau lapaʻau no AGS i kēia manawa. Akā, mai hopohopo. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hana pū me kāu kauka e ʻimi i nā ala e pale aku ai i nā mea hoʻonāukiuki a noho olakino.

He aha kēia molekala i kapa ʻia ʻo Alpha-gal?

He kalapona ka Alpha-gal, a i ʻole he molekole kō, i loaʻa i loko o nā pūnaewele o nā mammals he nui. Akā, ʻaʻole ia i hana maoli ʻia i loko o ke kino kanaka. ʻO ia ke kumu e huhū ai ko mākou kino ke nahu ʻia e ka ʻuku.

He aha nā meaʻai a me nā huahana i loaʻa iā Alpha-gal?

ʻO nā mea i loaʻa paha ka alpha-gal:

• ʻAi ʻulaʻula: Nā mea e like me ka puaʻa, ka pipi, ka lāpaki, ke keiki hipa, ke kao, ka buffalo, a me ka dia.
• Nā huahana lapaʻau a me nā lāʻau lapaʻau: No ka laʻana, ka lāʻau lapaʻau ʻo Cetuximab, i hoʻohana ʻia no ka maʻi kanesa.
• ʻO nā huahana i hana ʻia mai nā mammals: gelatin, waiū bipi, a me kekahi mau kopa, kirīmi, a me nā mea hale e loaʻa paha kēia mau mea.

E noʻonoʻo wale, ʻoiai ka ʻaikalima a i ʻole ka tīhi āu e ʻai ai, aia paha kahi liʻiliʻi o kēia alpha-gal. No laila pono ʻoe e makaʻala loa.

Eia kekahi, hiki i kekahi poʻe me AGS ke pane i nā huahana i loaʻa kahi mea i kapa ʻia ʻo carrageenan. ʻO Carrageenan kahi mea i hoʻohana pinepine ʻia e hoʻomānoanoa a mālama i nā meaʻai. Hiki ke loaʻa i nā mea e like me nā waiū nati, nā huahana ʻiʻo, a me ka yogurt.

ʻO wai ka mea hiki ke loaʻa i ka Alpha-gal Syndrome?

Hiki i kēia ke hana i kekahi, ʻoiai kekahi i loaʻa ʻole i ka maʻi allergy i ka ʻiʻo ʻulaʻula ma mua. Eia nō naʻe, ʻike pinepine ʻia i nā pākeke.

ʻO ka poʻe e hoʻolilo i ka manawa nui ma nā wahi waho kahi i loaʻa pinepine ai nā makika, e like me nā mahiʻai a me nā wahi ululāʻau, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka pilikia o ka loaʻa ʻana o AGS. Ma Sri Lanka, he mea maikaʻi nō hoʻi no ka poʻe e hana ana ma nā wahi e like me nā ululāʻau a i ʻole nā ​​​​mahiʻai kahi i loaʻa ai nā holoholona e makaʻala i kēia.

He aha ke ʻano o nā māka e hoʻoulu ai i ka AGS?

Ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, ʻo ka lone star tick ka tick maʻamau e pili ana me AGS. Eia nō naʻe, aia kekahi mau ʻano tick ʻē aʻe e hiki ke hoʻoulu iā ia ma nā wahi like ʻole o ka honua. Eia kekahi laʻana:

• ʻEleʻele wāwae ʻūlū ma ʻAmelika
• "Cayenne tick" ma ʻAmelika Waena
• ʻO ka makika pepeiaohao lōʻihi ʻĀkia ma ʻĀsia

ʻO ka mea nui loa, ʻo ia ke makaʻala inā ʻoe e nahu ʻia e kekahi ʻuku a e ʻimi i ke kōkua lapaʻau inā pono.

Aia kekahi mau inoa ʻē aʻe no kēia Alpha-gal Syndrome?

ʻAe, he mau inoa ʻē aʻe kēia:

• ʻAleʻaleʻa Alpha-gal
• ʻAleʻaleʻa ʻiʻo mammalia
• ʻAleʻaleʻa i ka ʻiʻo ʻulaʻula
• ʻAleʻaleʻa ʻiʻo nahu ʻia e ka ʻuiki

He aha ke kumu o ka Alpha-gal Syndrome? No ke aha e hana ai kēia?

Ua wehewehe mua ʻia kēia ʻano ma ka makahiki 2009. Hoʻokumu ʻia ia e nā nahu o nā ʻuku e lawe ana i kahi molekala i kapa ʻia ʻo alpha-gal i loko o ko lākou lawai. ʻOiai ʻo ka hapa nui o nā maʻi ʻaleka meaʻai ʻē aʻe i hoʻokumu ʻia e nā protein, hoʻokumu ʻia kēia e kahi molekala carbohydrate (sugar), no laila he manawa pōkole ia no ka hōʻike ʻana o ka hopena. ʻO ia hoʻi, ʻike pinepine ʻia nā hōʻailona ma waena o ʻelua a me ʻeono hola ma hope o ka ʻai ʻana i ka ʻiʻo ʻulaʻula . Manaʻo ʻia kēia no ka mea ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi o ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻana o ko mākou kino i nā carbohydrates ma mua o nā protein.

ʻAʻole maopopo i nā kauka ke kumu e hoʻoulu ai kēia alpha-gal i ka maʻi ʻiʻo ʻulaʻula a i ʻole ka lāʻau lapaʻau kanesa ʻo Cetuximab i ʻōlelo ʻia ma luna. Pēlā nō, no ke aha i loaʻa ai i kekahi poʻe ka AGS aʻo kekahi poʻe ʻaʻole, ke noiʻi ʻia nei.

He aha nā hōʻailona o ka Alpha-gal Syndrome?

Hiki ke ʻokoʻa loa nā hōʻailona o kēia. Hiki i kekahi poʻe ke ʻike i nā hōʻailona palupalu loa, aʻo kekahi poʻe e ʻike paha i nā hōʻailona koʻikoʻi a hoʻoweliweli i ke ola.

ʻO nā hopena ʻili maʻamau:

• ʻO ka ʻili nui o ka ʻili (kapa ʻia e nā kauka he pruritus)
• ʻUlaʻula a me ka mumū o ka ʻili (i kapa ʻia hoʻi he flushing)
• ʻŌhūhū ʻili, nā pehu e like me ka moa (ua kapa ʻia kēia he urticaria a i ʻole hives)
• ʻO ka pehu ʻana o nā lehelehe, nā maka, ka ʻāʻī, ke alelo, a i ʻole ka maka (ua kapa ʻia kēia he angioedema)

Hiki ke loaʻa nā pilikia o ka ʻōnaehana digestive, i kekahi manawa kēia mau mea wale nō:

• ʻEha ʻōpū, ʻeha ʻōpū
• Ka maʻi pākī
• ʻŌpū ʻōpū, ʻōpū momona
• ʻAʻai ʻole, ʻai ʻole (dyspepsia)
• ʻEhaʻeha o nā ʻiʻo
• Ka luaʻi a i ʻole ka luaʻi

Hiki i ka maʻi Alpha-gal ke hana i nā hōʻailona e pili ana i ka māmā. He mea weliweli loa kēia:

• Anaphylaxis: ʻO kēia ka mea weliweli loa. He hopena maʻi ʻaleka koʻikoʻi e hiki ke hoʻopaʻa i ka hanu ʻana a hoʻoweliweli i ke ola. Inā pilikia ʻoe i ka hanu ʻana, e hele koke i ka haukapila kokoke loa a kāhea aku i 911.
• Kuke
• Ka paʻakikī o ka hanu ʻana, ka pōkole o ka hanu (dyspnea)
• Hanu ʻana

Hiki paha ke loaʻa nā hōʻailona ʻē aʻe:

• ʻO ka Arthritis (ʻaʻole kēia i maʻamau)
• Nā palpitations o ka puʻuwai, me ka manaʻo e kuʻi ana kou umauma
• Ke koko haʻahaʻa (hypotension)
• ʻO ka maʻi hoʻāla cell Mast, kahi maʻi ʻōnaehana pale maʻamau (kākaʻikahi nō hoʻi)

Aia kekahi mau mea ʻē aʻe e hoʻopilikia ai i nā hōʻailona?

ʻAe, hiki ke loli kāu mau hōʻailona i ka hala ʻana o ka manawa. Hiki ke ʻoi aku ka koʻikoʻi o nā hopena allergies a i ʻole e hana pinepine ʻia inā nahu ʻia ʻoe e kahi makika hou. I kekahi mau hihia, hiki i nā mea e like me ka inu ʻana i ka waiʻona, ka hana kino, a me ka hoʻoikaika kino ke hoʻopilikia i ke ʻano o ka pane ʻana o kou kino i ka alpha-gal.

No ke aha he mea paʻakikī ke ʻike i ka Alpha-gal Syndrome?

Hiki ke paʻakikī iki ka ʻike ʻana i kēia. Nui nā kumu.

ʻO kekahi, ʻaʻole ʻeha ka ʻuku ke nahu lākou, no laila ʻaʻole ʻike ka nui o ka poʻe ua nahu ʻia lākou e ka ʻuku.

Eia kekahi, ʻaʻole e like me nā maʻi ʻaleka meaʻai ʻē aʻe, ʻo ka hopena i ka alpha-gal e lōʻihi i nā hola e ulu ai . I kekahi manawa ʻike ʻia nā hōʻailona i waenakonu o ka pō ma hope o ka ʻaina ahiahi. ʻO wai ka mea e manaʻo he mea ia no ka ʻiʻo a lākou i ʻai ai i ke kakahiaka a i ʻole i ka ʻaina awakea?

Eia kekahi, ʻaʻole i kēlā me kēia manawa e ʻai ʻia ai ka alpha-gal, aia kahi hopena, ʻaʻole hoʻi e ʻike mau ʻia nā hōʻailona ma ke ʻano like.

Ma muli o kēia mau kumu, he mea paʻakikī paha iā ʻoe a me kāu kauka ke ʻike inā he mea ʻē aʻe kēia ma mua o ka alpha-gal.

Pehea lā e ʻike pono ai nā kauka i kēia?

No ka ʻike ʻana i ka AGS, e nānā pono kāu kauka a i ʻole ka mea maʻi allergist i kāu mau hōʻailona, ​​​​ka mōʻaukala olakino, a me ka hoʻokolokolo kino. Eia kekahi, hiki ke hana ʻia nā hoʻāʻo allergy e hōʻoia i ka hōʻailona. ʻO nā mea nui:

• Hoʻāʻo koko: Nānā kēia i ke alo o nā antibodies immunoglobulin-E (IgE) i loko o ke koko, ka mea a kā mākou ʻōnaehana pale e hana ai e kūʻē i ka alpha-gal.
• Hoʻāʻo ʻili kuʻi: Ma kēia, ua kau ʻia kahi liʻiliʻi o ka allergen ma luna o ka ʻili e ʻike ai inā he hopena.

Inā manaʻo ʻoe he AGS kou, e ʻike koke i ke kauka. ʻO ka wikiwiki o kou ʻike ʻana iā ia, ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o ka pale ʻana i nā mea hoʻonāukiuki a me ka pale ʻana i nā pilikia.

Aia kekahi lāʻau lapaʻau piha no kēia?

E like me ka mea i ʻōlelo ʻia ma mua, ʻaʻohe lāʻau lapaʻau no ka Alpha-gal Syndrome i kēia manawa. Akā, mai hopohopo. Inā ʻike mua ʻia, hiki iā ʻoe a me kāu kauka ke hana pū e hoʻomohala i kahi hoʻolālā hoʻokele e kūpono i kāu mau pono.

Pehea e mālama ʻia ai kēia?

ʻO ke ʻano nui o ka lāʻau lapaʻau no kekahi me AGS, ʻo ia ka pale loa ʻana i nā meaʻai a me nā huahana i loaʻa ka alpha-gal . Eia kekahi, hāʻawi ʻia nā lāʻau lapaʻau e kāohi i nā hōʻailona inā loaʻa kahi mea e like me kēia i ka ʻai ʻia.

Hiki i nā kauka ke ʻōlelo aku i nā lāʻau lapaʻau e like me nā antihistamines a i ʻole kahi mea hoʻokomo adrenaline no ka hoʻohana pilikia. I nā hihia koʻikoʻi e like me ka anaphylaxis, hiki i kēia mea hoʻokomo epinephrine ke hoʻōla ola. Aia nā lāʻau lapaʻau ʻē aʻe i kāu mau hōʻailona. No ka laʻana, hiki i ka hopena cromolyn waha ke kōkua i nā pilikia ʻōpū.

Pehea e hiki ai iaʻu ke hōʻemi i ka pilikia o ka hoʻomohala ʻana i ka Alpha-gal Syndrome?

ʻO ke ala maikaʻi loa e pale aku ai iā ʻoe iho mai ka AGS wale nō, akā, mai nā maʻi ʻē aʻe i lawe ʻia e ka ʻuku, ʻo ia ka pale ʻana i ka nahu ʻia e nā ʻuku . Aia kekahi mau mea hiki iā ʻoe ke hana e hana i kēia:

• E pale i nā wahi i loaʻa ai nā makika: E pale i ka hele wāwae ʻole me ke kumu ʻole i loko o nā ululāʻau, nā wahi mauʻu, a me nā wahi me ka nui o nā lāʻau, ʻoiai kahi i loaʻa ai nā holoholona. E akahele hoʻi i ka wā e hana ana i loko o ka māla.
• E uhi pono: E ʻaʻahu i nā lole lima lōʻihi, nā lole lōʻihi. E kau i nā socks ma luna o kou mau lole, e komo i nā kāmaʻa. Inā hiki, e hoʻohana i ka pāpale a me nā mikina lima.
• E hoʻohana i nā mea pale pepeke: E hoʻohana i kahi mea pale pepeke i ʻāpono ʻia e ke kauka. Hiki ke hoʻopili ʻia kekahi i nā lole. Hiki ke hoʻopili ʻia nā huahana i loaʻa ka permethrin i nā lole.
• E nānā no nā māka (Tick check):Ma hope o kou hoʻi ʻana mai waho mai, e nānā iā ʻoe iho a me kāu mau holoholona no nā makika. He manaʻo maikaʻi nō hoʻi e ʻauʻau.
• Inā ʻike ʻoe i kahi ʻuku, e wehe koke iā ia: E hoʻohana i nā tweezers e hopu i ke poʻo a i ʻole ka waha o ka ʻuku, a huki mālie iā ia i luna me ka ʻole o ka ʻū ʻana. A laila e kau i kahi antiseptic ma kahi.

Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe ka Alpha-gal Syndrome, he aha nā meaʻai, nā mea inu, a me nā huahana āu e pale aku ai?

Pono ka nui o ka poʻe me AGS e pale loa i ka ʻiʻo ʻulaʻula a me nā huahana ʻiʻo ʻulaʻula. Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole like ka pane ʻana o nā kānaka a pau i ka alpha-gal. No laila, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ke kamaʻilio ʻana me kāu kauka a i ʻole ka mea maʻi allergist e ʻike pono i ka mea e hoʻonāukiuki ai iā ʻoe.

ʻO nā mea e pale aku ai ma ke ʻano laulā:

• ʻAi ʻulaʻula: pipi, hipa, kao, ʻiʻo hihiu, lāpaki, buffalo, puaʻa.
• Nā huahana i hana ʻia mai ka ʻiʻo ʻulaʻula: nā mea hoʻohui meaʻai, ka waiū, ka kirīmi, ka ʻaikalima, ka momona holoholona (lard), ka tīhi.
• Nā huahana mālama ʻili i hana ʻia mai ka ʻiʻo: nā huahana e loaʻa ana ka collagen, lanolin, gelatin, glycerin.
• Nā huahana ʻē aʻe: E kamaʻilio me kāu kauka e pili ana i nā lāʻau lapaʻau āu e lawe ai. Eia kekahi, hiki i nā valves puʻuwai mai nā puaʻa a bipi paha, ka ʻupena ʻokiʻoki, a me kekahi mau lāʻau pale ke hana i nā hopena allergies.

He aha ka mea e hiki mai ana? Pehea lā kākou e ola ai me kēia?

Inā ʻoe e hahai pono i nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo a kāu kauka a pale i nā mea e hoʻoulu ai i kāu mau maʻi allergies, hiki iā ʻoe ke ola maikaʻi me AGS. E kōkua kāu kauka iā ʻoe e ʻimi i nā ala e hōʻemi ai i kou pilikia o nā maʻi allergies.

ʻO ka mea nui loa, ʻo ia ke hana i nā hana e pale aku ai i nā nahu hou ʻana o ka tick , no ka mea, hiki i nā nahu tick pinepine ke hoʻonui i ka ʻino o nā maʻi allergies.

Āhea ʻoe e ʻimi ai i ke aʻo lapaʻau?

Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe nā hōʻailona o AGS, e ʻike koke i kahi allergist a kauka lapaʻau paha i hiki ke hoʻomohala ʻia kahi hoʻolālā lapaʻau e kūpono iā ʻoe.
