Wali olabye omuntu mu maka go, oboolyawo maama wo, taata wo, jjajja wo oba jjajja wo omwagalwa ng’agenda yeerabira mpolampola buli kimu? Tumanyi engeri gye kiruma okulaba abaana bo nga bafuuka abatamanyiddwa, ne beerabira ebibaddewo gye buvuddeko, n’okukyusa enneeyisa yaabwe. Kino kye tutera okuyita obulwadde bwa Alzheimer. Buno bulwadde bukwata obukadde n’obukadde bw’abantu okwetoloola ensi yonna nga n’okutuusa kati tebunnawonya mu bujjuvu. Kyokka, olw’okukulaakulana kwa ssaayansi w’obusawo, essuubi eppya livaayo. Ekyo kye kika ky’essuubi eppya lye tugenda okwogerako leero.
Mu ngeri ennyangu, obulwadde bwa Alzheimer kye ki?
Nga tetunnaba kwogera ku ddagala lino eppya, ka tutegeere katono ku bulwadde bwa Alzheimer. Si kubulwa kujjukira kwokka okubaawo ng’ogenda okaddiwa. Buno bulwadde obusaanyaawo obutoffaali bw'obwongo mpolampola.
Teebereza nti obwongo bwaffe bukuŋŋaanyiziddwamu obukadde n’obukadde bw’obutoffaali obutonotono obukolagana. Kiki ekibaawo singa empuliziganya wakati w’obutoffaali buno ekoma? Buli kimu okuva ku kujjukira, okulowooza, olulimi, n’okusalawo okutuuka ku bulwadde bw’okubulwa amagezi. Kino kye kibaawo mu bulwadde bwa Alzheimer.
Okusingira ddala, mu bulwadde buno, ekika kya puloteyina ekiyitibwa `amyloid plaques` (amyloid plaque) kitandika okukuŋŋaanyizibwa wakati w’obutoffaali bw’obwongo ng’obucaafu. Ng’obucaafu obuli mu payipu y’amazzi bwe buziyiza okutambula kw’amazzi, ebipande bino bireetera empuliziganya wakati w’obutoffaali bw’obwongo okubula, era okukkakkana ng’obutoffaali obwo bufa. Eno y’ensonga enkulu lwaki obubonero buno bufuuka bwa maanyi.
Jjukira nti okubulwa okujjukira si kwonna nti bulwadde bwa Alzheimer, naye bw’oba olina ekikweraliikiriza ku muntu mu maka go, kirungi okwogera n’omusawo ku nsonga eyo.
Leqembi - Eddagala lino eppya lye liruwa?
Okay, kati katutuuke ku mulamwa omukulu ogw'emboozi. `Leqembi` (Lek-em-bi) ddagala ppya eryakkirizibwa gye buvuddeko ekitongole kya Amerika ekivunaanyizibwa ku by'emmere n'eddagala, oba FDA . Ekitongole kya FDA kitongole ekirina amateeka amakakali ennyo agasalawo oba eddagala lisaanira era nga teririna bulabe eri abantu okuliwa.
Eky’enjawulo ku ddagala lino kwe kuba nti litunuulira ebipande bya amyloid bye twayogeddeko emabegako era liyamba okubiggya ku bwongo. Eddagala erisinga obungi eribaddewo okumala ebbanga eddene bwe lityo lisobodde okufuga obubonero bwokka. Naye eky’okuba nti eddagala lino likoleddwa okujjanjaba ekintu ekirala ekitali kivaako obulwadde buno, ddaala ddene nnyo.
Okunoonyereza kulaga nti omuwendo gw’okukula kw’obulwadde mu balwadde abaafuna eddagala lino gwakendeera ebitundu nga 27% mu myezi 18.
Mugaso ki ddala oguli mu kino?
Bwe tugamba nti "obulwadde bukendeera ebitundu 27%," abantu abamu bayinza okulowooza nti, "Oh, ekyo kye kiri?" Naye kikulu okutegeera engeri kino gye kiri ekinene eri omuntu alina obulwadde bwa Alzheimer n’eri ab’omu maka abamulabirira.
Kino si ddagala eriwonya bulwadde buno. Ekyo tulina okusooka okukitegeera. Naye kiwa omulwadde "obudde obw'omuwendo" okukola emirimu gye egya bulijjo ku lulwe, okukuuma endagamuntu ye okumala akaseera akalala, n'okubeera omulamu obulungi n'ab'omu maka ge okumala akaseera akalala.
Teebereza, nga kyandibadde kirungi nnyo okuwa maama wo oba taata wo emyezi mitono egy’okwongerako okulya yekka, okukyusa engoye, oba okukumanya n’okwogera naawe? Ogwo gwe mugaso ogusinga obunene mu ddagala lino. Buba buweerero bwa muwendo nnyo eri omulwadde n’ab’omu maka.
Buli kimu kiri bulungi? Tewali bulabe?
Okufaananako n'eddagala lyonna, eddagala lino erya `Leqembi` nalyo lirina akabi n'ebizibu ebimu. Bino nabyo tulina okubimanya. N’ekitongole kya FDA kino kikikkaatirizza mu ngeri ey’enjawulo.
Obulabe obubiri obukulu kwe kuzimba obwongo n'okusobola okuvaamu omusaayi omutono ku bwongo . Bino oluusi biyinza okuba eby’amaanyi era, si bulijjo nnyo, biyinza okutta.
Olw’ensonga eno, eddagala lino liweebwa abantu bokka abali mu ntandikwa y’obulwadde buno. Ate era, omulwadde alina okukuumibwa ng’alabirirwa nnyo abasawo mu bujjanjabi bwonna. Kikulu nnyo okwekebejjebwa buli kiseera, gamba ng’okukebera obwongo mu MRI, okukebera oba waliwo ebizibu ebiyinza okuvaamu.
Ka tulabe mu ngeri ennyangu emigaso n’obulabe bw’eddagala lino mu kipande wansi.
| Emigaso | Obulabe & Ebizibu Ebivaamu |
|---|---|
| Akendeeza ku kusaasaana kw’obulwadde buno ebitundu nga 27%. | Waliwo akabi k’okuzimba obwongo n’okuvaamu omusaayi. |
| Awa omulwadde n’ab’omu maka obudde obw’omuwendo. | Alina okuweebwa wansi w’okulabirirwa kw’abasawo okukakali kwokka. |
| Lino lye limu ku ddagala erisooka okutunuulira ekivaako obulwadde buno (amyloid). | Bbeeyi nnyo (nga doola 26,500 buli mwaka). |
| Akuuma obwetwaze bw’omulwadde okumala ebbanga eddene. | Esaanira abo bokka abali mu ntandikwa y’obulwadde buno. |
Kino kitukwatako kitya mu Sri Lanka?
Kino kye kibuuzo ekisinga obukulu. Wadde eddagala lino likkiriziddwa mu Amerika, mu kiseera kino terisangibwa mu Sri Lanka. Ensonga enkulu lwaki kino kikoleddwa ye bbeeyi . Mu Amerika, eddagala lino ligula doola nga 26,500 buli mwaka. Ekyo kisukka mu bukadde bwa ssente munaana mu ssente za Sri Lanka. Kijja kutwala ebbanga ddene ng’eddagala ery’ebbeeyi bwe lityo terinnafuna mangu eri abalwadde mu ggwanga lyaffe.
Naye kino tetulina kukitunuulira mu ngeri ya ssuubi. Okukola eddagala nga lino kituukiridde kinene. Kino kiraga nti bannassaayansi bakutte eddaala ddene mu maaso mu kunoonya eddagala eriwonya obulwadde bwa Alzheimer. Mpozzi mu biseera eby’omu maaso, okumanya kuno kuyinza okukozesebwa okukola eddagala eritali lya buseere era erikola obulungi.
Kale, gano mawulire agatuwa essuubi mu biseera eby’omu maaso. Mu kiseera kino, waliwo obujjanjabi n’amagezi ebiweebwa abalwadde ba Alzheimer mu Sri Lanka okuyamba okuddukanya obubonero n’okutumbula omutindo gw’obulamu. Singa omuntu mu maka go alina embeera eno, yogerako n’omusawo w’amaka go (omusawo) ku nsonga eno ofune amagezi ku kintu ekisinga obulungi ky’olina okukola mu kiseera kino.
Obubaka Obutwala Awaka
- `Leqembi` ddagala ppya eryakkirizibwa okusooka okulwala obulwadde bwa Alzheimer's, okukendeeza ku kukula kw'obulwadde buno.
- Kino kikola nga kiggyawo obutoffaali obw’obulabe obuyitibwa ‘amyloid plaques’ obukuŋŋaanyizibwa mu bwongo.
- Wadde nga kino si ddagala lya byonna, enkizo yaakyo enkulu kwe kuba nti kiwa omulwadde n’ab’omu maka obudde obw’omuwendo.
- Okulabirirwa kw’abasawo okumpi kyetaagisa, kubanga waliwo akabi k’ebizibu eby’amaanyi ng’okuzimba obwongo n’okuvaamu omusaayi.
- Eddagala lino mu kiseera kino lya bbeeyi nnyo era terisangibwa mu Sri Lanka. Kyokka kino kiyinza okutwalibwa ng’ekintu ekikulu mu kunoonyereza ku bulwadde bwa Alzheimer.
- Bw’olaba enkyukakyuka mu kujjukira oba mu nneeyisa y’omuntu mu maka go, kikulu nnyo okukiteesaako n’omusawo wo.
