Ffenna twogera ku ndwadde, naye waliwo endwadde ezimu ezisibiddwa ku bintu ebitongole eby’ebyafaayo. Emboozi emu ey’ennaku bwetyo ye Agent Orange, gye twogerako leero. Oyinza okuba nga erinnya eryo toliwulirangako. Naye kikulu nnyo okumanya ku ngeri gye yakwatamu obulamu bw’abantu obukadde n’obukadde.
Ono Agent Orange kye ki?
Mu ngeri ennyangu, Agent Orange ddagala lya maanyi nnyo eritta omuddo . Yakozesebwa amagye ga Amerika mu lutalo lw’e Vietnam okuva mu 1962 okutuuka mu 1971. Ekigendererwa kyabwe kyali kya kusaanyaawo ddala nsiko enzito n’emiti amagye g’omulabe mwe gaali geekukumye. Teebereza mu kiseera kino, ggaloni obukadde 11 eza Agent Orange zafuuyirwa ku buwanvu bwa yiika obukadde nga 20 mu Vietnam.
Naye oluvannyuma lw’obujulizi okuvaayo ku kabi kaakyo, kwe kugamba, okutta abantu, Amerika yawera ddala okukola n’okukozesa eddagala lino ery’omuddo mu 1971. Naye mu kiseera ekyo, obulabe bwali bwamaze okukolebwa.
Abantu bameka abakwatibwa eddagala lino eritta abantu?
Mu butuufu, tewali amanyi bulungi bantu bameka abaakosebwa. Wabula okubalirira kulaga nti abajaasi ba Amerika kumpi obukadde busatu abaali baweereza mu Vietnam mu kiseera ekyo n’abantu baabulijjo abasukka mu bukadde busatu abaali mu Vietnam bayinza okuba nga baali bakwatibwa eddagala lino. Kino kiraga engeri kino gye kyali ekizibu ennyo.
Bubonero ki obulaga nti omuntu alina eddagala lya Agent Orange?
Ebikolwa by’eddagala lino byawukana okusinziira ku muntu. Wadde ng’abantu abamu bafuna obubonero obutono, abalala bafuna endwadde ez’amaanyi ennyo. Bino bye bimu ku bubonero obutera okulabika.
| Obubonero | Ennyinyonnyola ennyangu |
|---|---|
| Embalabe mu maaso | Embalabe ez’amaanyi naddala nga zirimu ebiddugavu. |
| Okukwatibwa yinfekisoni enfunda eziwera | Endwadde n’ yinfekisoni ebitera okubaawo olw’abaserikale b’omubiri okunafuwa. |
| Okuzirika mu bitundu by’omubiri | Okuwuuma mu ngalo n’ebigere, okuwulira ng’enseenene zidduka, oba okuwunya. |
| Obukoowu obuyitiridde (Fatigue) . | Okukoowa okuyitiridde n’okukoowa awatali nsonga. |
| Okukaluubirirwa okussa | Okussa obubi oba okukaluubirirwa okussa. |
| Okuzimba omubiri (Edema) . | Okuzimba naddala mu bitundu by’amagulu n’enkizi. |
| Okukankana kw’ebinywa (Okukankana) . | Ebinywa ng’ebitundu by’omubiri bikankana ne bwe biba nga biwummudde, kwe kugamba, nga biyimiridde buyimiridde. |
Endwadde ki ez’amaanyi kino kiyinza okuvaako?
Ebizibu by’obulamu ebiva ku kukwatibwa Agent Orange bya maanyi nnyo. Wadde endwadde 14 zokka ze zaasooka okuzuulibwa, okunoonyereza kulaga nti endwadde endala nnyingi ezikwatagana nazo.
Ekisinga okuba eky’obulabe ku kino kwe kuba nti ebikosa bino bisobola okulabika ne bwe wayise emyaka mingi ng’obifunye. Ate era, olw’engeri kino gye kyakwata ku bazadde, n’abaana abazaalibwa baalina obulemu obw’amaanyi mu kuzaalibwa .
Olukalala luno wammanga lulimu ezimu ku ndwadde ezizuuliddwa.
- Ebika bya Kookolo:
- Kookolo w’ekibumba
- Obulwadde bwa leukemia obw’obutoffaali bwa B
- Obulwadde bwa Hodgkin lymphoma
- Obulwadde bwa myeloma obuyitibwa multiple myeloma
- Obulwadde bwa lymphoma obutali bwa Hodgkin
- Kookolo w’enseke
- Kookolo w’enkola y’okussa (e.g. kookolo w’amawuggwe) .
- Obulwadde bwa sarcoma mu bitundu ebigonvu
- Endwadde endala ez’amaanyi:
- AL amyloidosis - okuteekebwa kwa puloteyina etali ya bulijjo mu bitundu by’omubiri.
- Chloracne - obulwadde obw’amaanyi obw’olususu.
- Ssukaali ow’ekika eky’okubiri
- Hypothyroidism - okukendeera kw’enkola y’endwadde z’ekibumba.
- Obulwadde bw’omutima obuyitibwa Ischemic heart disease - Okuzibikira emisuwa egigabira omutima omusaayi.
- Obulwadde bwa Parkinson n’obulwadde bwa Parkinson
- Obulwadde bw’obusimu obuyitibwa peripheral neuropathy
- Porphyria - obulwadde obukwata olususu n’obusimu.
- Okuzaalibwa n’obulemu obw’amaanyi, okuvaamu embuto, n’okukula kw’omwana mu lubuto mu ngeri etaali ya bulijjo.
Agent Orange alina atya ebikolwa bino?
Ekikolo ky’okusaanyaawo kuno kwonna kye kirungo kya kemiko ekiyitibwa dioxin ekiri mu Agent Orange. Dioxin kintu kya butwa nnyo ekikolebwa nga chlorine, carbon ne hydrogen byokeddwa. Kiba kya bulabe nnyo eri abantu, ebisolo n’ebimera.
Dioxin bw’ayingira mu mubiri, eyonoona ebitundu byaffe ebikulu, obutoffaali, abaserikale b’omubiri, n’obusimu bwaffe. Dioxin ddagala lya maanyi eritta kookolo .
Ebikosa byayongera okusajjuka olw’okuba nti emirundi 20 okusinga obungi abakola eddagala lye yafuyira mu butonde. Ebiva mu kino bikyalabika n’okutuusa leero mu bitundu ebimu ebya Vietnam ne mu abo abeetabye mu lutalo.
Kino kyatuuka kitya ku bantu?
- Nga ossa omukka ogw’obutwa.
- Nga onywa emmere oba amazzi agafuuse amakyafu olw’eddagala lino.
- Nga tukwatagana n’olususu kungulu n’okuyingira mu mubiri ng’oyita mu lususu.
- Eddagala eriri mu mpewo liyingira mu mubiri nga liyita mu maaso, mu kamwa oba ebiwundu by’olususu.
Embeera zino zijjanjabwa zitya?
Tewali bujjanjabi bumu ku biva mu kukwatibwa Agent Orange. Obujjanjabi businziira ku mbeera entongole omuntu gy’alina.
- Okulongoosa okuggyawo ebizimba oba obujjanjabi obw'amasannyalaze ku kookolo .
- Okulongoosa okutereeza obulemu mu kuzaalibwa .
- Okuwa eddagala eriwonya endwadde nga sukaali ne Parkinson .
- Okulya emmere ennungi era ennungi.
Ekisinga obukulu omusawo ajja kukukebera n’okusalawo obujjanjabi obusinga okukuyamba. Obujjanjabi obukolera omuntu omu buyinza obutakolera mulala.
Eky’okuyiga ekisinga obukulu kye tuyinza okuyigira ku mboozi eno y’engeri obulabe obw’ekiseera ekiwanvu, wakati w’emigigi gye buyinza okutuusibwa ku bantu olw’eddagala ery’obutwa erifulumizibwa mu butonde.
N’olwekyo, bw’oba olina obubonero obusukka mu bumu obwogeddwako mu kitundu kino (e.g., okukoowa okuyitiridde awatali nsonga, okuziyira mu ngalo n’ebigere, okukwatibwa yinfekisoni emirundi mingi) mu kiseera kye kimu era okumala ebbanga eddene, tokyeraliikirira era amangu ago olabe omusawo akuwe amagezi .
Obubaka Obutwala Awaka
- Agent Orange ddagala lya butwa nnyo eryakozesebwa mu lutalo lw’e Vietnam.
- Eddagala eriri wano ye dioxin, ekivaako endwadde nnyingi ez’amaanyi omuli ne kookolo.
- Ebiva mu kukwatibwa eddagala lino bisobola okulabika ne bwe wabaawo emyaka mingi.
- Kino kiyinza okukosa abazadde n’okutuuka n’okuleeta obulemu obw’amaanyi mu baana baabwe.
- Wadde nga kino tekikwatagana butereevu na Sri Lanka, ssomo ddene nnyo erituyigiriza ku kwonoona obucaafu bw’obutonde bw’ensi bwe buyinza okuleeta ku bulamu bw’abantu.
- Bulijjo kikulu okunoonya amagezi g’omusawo bw’oba olina obubonero obutannyonnyolwa, obw’ekiseera ekiwanvu.
👩🏽 ⚕️ Ebibuuzo ebirala (FAQs)
💬 Pirfenidone (Esbriet) capsules/tablets ddagala lya njawulo nnyo eriweebwa ku bulwadde ki?
Lino si ddagala lya bulijjo! Lino lye ddagala erisinga amaanyi era ery’ebbeeyi eriweweeza ku fibrotic mu nsi yonna eriyinza okukendeeza ku sipiidi y’enkovu z’amawuggwe n’okulemererwa kw’amawuggwe mu bulwadde obutta abantu obuyitibwa ‘Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)’, nga buno bulwadde amawuggwe gaffe mwe gafuuka enkovu/enkovu ne tutasobola kussa (kuziyiza) awatali nsonga etegeerekeka!
💬 Amawuggwe bwe gaba gazibye, okumira empeke zino (Esbriet) kiyamba kitya amawuggwe okudda engulu?
Amawuggwe gaffe bwe gafuna obuvune, obutoffaali bwa fibroblast buyingira ne bukola kolagini ekivaako enkovu, naye mu IPF, obutoffaali obwo bugwa eddalu ne bukola enkovu mu mawuggwe gonna. Empeke eno bw’egenda mu mawuggwe gaffe, ezibikira/zisibira ddala puloteyina eyitibwa TGF-beta (eno y’egamba omubiri okukola kolagini). Kino kikendeeza nnyo ku muwendo gw’enkovu mu mawuggwe.
💬 Lwaki abantu abamira eddagala lino (Pirfenidone) babagamba obutafuluma mu musana (Photosensitivity)? Biki ebiyinza okuvaamu?
Ekizibu ekisinga obunene kiri nti bw’omira empeke eno, olususu lwo lufuuka oluwulikika ennyo eri ‘omusana (UV rays)’ (Photosensitivity)! Ne bw’ogenda mu musana okumala akaseera katono, olususu lwo lujja kwokya ng’omuliro (Sunburn) ne lulekawo enkovu ennene (kale eddagala eriziyiza omusana n’engoye eziggaddwa kyetaagisa). Ate era kino kiyinza okuleeta ekibumba okwonooneka ennyo n’okulwala (Elevated Liver Enzymes), kale bw’ofuna obulwadde bwa jaundiced n’okuziyira/okusiiyibwa, olina okutegeeza omusawo wo mu bwangu.
