Sicabanga ukuthi kuyinto evamile ngomuntu omdala ekhaya lethu, njengomama, ubaba, ugogo, noma u-anti, ukukhohlwa izinto njengoba zikhula. Sivame ukuzwa izinto ezinjengokuthi, "Ngisibekephi isibuko?" "Kungani ngingene kuleli gumbi?" Kodwa wake wazizwa sengathi lokhu kukhohlwa kuyinto engathi sína? Uzizwa sengathi inkumbulo yakho iye yaba yimbi kakhulu kulo nyaka kunonyaka odlule, noma ingabe umngane wakho ukutshelile ngalokhu? Lokhu akuyona into okufanele siyithathe kalula. Ucwaningo olusha lwezokwelapha luphakamisa ukuthi izinguquko ezibalulekile kwinkumbulo ezinjengalezi zingaba uphawu oluyisixwayiso sokuqala lwesifo i-Alzheimer's.
Ucwaningo olusha lwembule ini?
Lolu cwaningo, olusanda kushicilelwa ephephabhukwini lezokwelapha elidumile i-Neurology, luhilele abantu abangu-675 abaneminyaka ephakathi kuka-72. Nakuba laba bantu bahlonzwe njengabasengozini yokuthola isifo i-Alzheimer's, akekho kubo owayenezinkinga ezinkulu ngamakhono abo okuqonda lapho lolu cwaningo luqala.
Lokho okwenziwe yilolu cwaningo kwakulula kakhulu. Laba bantu abangu-675 kanye nabangane babo abaseduze (okungaba umlingani wabo, isihlobo, noma umngane omkhulu) babuzwa ngezinguquko enkumbulweni yabo ngemibuzo. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, bonke bahlolwe ubuchopho ngendlela ekhethekile.
Imiphumela iyamangaza impela. Abantu ababike ukuthi bona noma othile oseduze nabo "banenkumbulo encane kakhulu kulo nyaka kunangonyaka odlule" babone izinguquko zokuqala ebuchosheni babo ezihlotshaniswa nesifo i-Alzheimer's. Umyalezo ovela kulokhu ukuthi uma umuntu omdala ekhononda ngenkumbulo yakhe noma umndeni wakhe ukhathazekile ngayo, akuwona umqondo omuhle ukuyilahla nje ngokuthi "ngoba nje ekhula."
Yiziphi lezi zinguquko zenkumbulo okufanele uzikhathaze ngazo?
Ungase uzibuze ukuthi hlobo luni lokukhohlwa okufanele sikhathazeke ngalo. Kunezinto ezimbalwa abagxile kuzo ngqo ocwaningweni. Bona ukuthi lezi zivamile yini kubantu abadala ekhaya lakho.
| Uphawu okufanele ulunake | Kalula nje... |
|---|---|
| Ukwehla okukhulu kwenkumbulo | Ingabe wena noma abanye ninomuzwa wokuthi inkumbulo yenu ibuthakathaka kakhulu kulo nyaka kunangonyaka odlule? |
| Ukukhohlwa ukuthi izinto zikuphi | Ingabe uvame ukukhohlwa ukuthi ubekaphi okhiye bakho, izibuko, noma isikhwama sakho semali? Ingabe lokhu kuvame kakhulu kunangaphambili? |
| Ukuthembela emanothini abhaliwe | Ingabe uthembele kakhulu ezintweni ezifana nokwenza uhlu lwezinto ozothenga noma ukugcina uhlu lwezinto okufanele uzenze? |
Imiphumela yokuhlolwa kokusebenza kwengqondo esetshenziswe kulolu cwaningo nayo ifane nalokho laba bantu abakushoyo ngabo, okusho ukuthi imizwa yabo ethi "Angikhumbuli" empeleni yayinesisekelo esihle.
Izinguquko zobuchopho kanye nesifo i-Alzheimer's
Isifo i-Alzheimer's yisimo lapho amangqamuzana obuchopho ebhujiswa kancane kancane ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, kanti izimpawu ziba zimbi kakhulu. Sibangelwa kakhulu izinhlobo ezimbili zamaprotheni angajwayelekile aqongelela ebuchosheni. Abacwaningi basebenzise inqubo ekhethekile yokuskena ebizwa ngokuthi i-'PET` scan (positron emission tomography) ukuze babone ukuthi la maprotheni abekwe yini ebuchosheni.
1. I-Amyloid Plaque: Lokhu kufana "nezibazi" eziqongelela phakathi kwamangqamuzana obuchopho. Uma lezi ziqongelela, ziphazamisa ukuhamba kolwazi phakathi kwamangqamuzana obuchopho.
2. Ama-Tau Tangles: I-Tau ingenye iphrotheni etholakala ngaphakathi kwamangqamuzana obuchopho. Esifweni i-Alzheimer's, la maprotheni ahlangana ndawonye njengebhola lezintambo, akha "ama-tangles." Lokhu kubangela ukuthi amangqamuzana afe ngaphandle kokuthola izakhamzimba azidingayo.
Kodwa kubalulekile ukukhumbula lokhu. Ukuthi nje umuntu unala maprotheni ebuchosheni bakhe akusho ukuthi unesifo i-Alzheimer's. Futhi, akuwona wonke umuntu onalezi zinguquko ozoqala lesi sifo. Lezi yizinto eziyingozi kuphela ezingabangela lesi sifo.
Lolu cwaningo lukwenze kwacaca kunanini ngaphambili ukuthi abantu abakhononda ngokulahlekelwa yinkumbulo banamathuba amaningi okuba nalawa ma-protein 'tau' axabene ebuchosheni babo.
Ngakho-ke, kungani kudingeka sicabange ngalokhu kangaka?
Ngokusho kukaDkt. Rebecca Amariglio, omunye wabaholi balolu cwaningo, lolu lwazi lubaluleke kakhulu kithi. Uthi:
"Manje sesiyazi ukuthi isifo i-Alzheimer's siqala ukubangela izinguquko ebuchosheni isikhathi eside ngaphambi kokuba udokotela akwazi ukubona izimpawu ngokomtholampilo. Manje sekunobufakazi obuningi bokuthi lapho umuntu eqala ukubona lezi zinguquko zenkumbulo, kungaba kuye ngokwakhe noma elungwini lomndeni, kungaba uphawu lwesixwayiso salesi sifo."
Kalula nje, lowo muzwa wokuthi "Ngikhohlwa izinto kakhulu kulezi zinsuku" wena noma umuntu oseduze nawe uyinkomba yezokwelapha ewusizo kakhulu . Ungawushayi indiva. Kungaba yisixwayiso sokuqala somzimba wakho. Uma uzizwa ngale ndlela, into engcono kakhulu ongayenza ukungesabi, kodwa ukukhuluma nodokotela wakho ngakho.
Abacwaningi baphawula nokuthi iningi labahlanganyeli kulolu cwaningo babengabamhlophe futhi befundile kakhulu, okuphakamisa ukuthi kudingeka izifundo ezengeziwe emazweni anemiphakathi eyahlukahlukene, njengeSri Lanka.
Umlayezo Wokuya Nawe Ekhaya
- Uma wena, othandekayo wakho, noma elinye ilungu lomndeni liqaphela ukuthi inkumbulo yabo iye yehla kakhulu muva nje, ikakhulukazi ngonyaka odlule, ungakushayi indiva lokho.
- Izinto ezifana nokukhohlwa njalo ukuthi izinto zikuphi nokuthembela kakhulu emanothini abhaliwe ukuze wenze izinto kungaba yizimpawu zokuqala zesifo i-Alzheimer's.
- Lokhu kulahlekelwa yinkumbulo kungase kuhlobane namaprotheni abizwa ngokuthi ama-amyloid plaques kanye nama-tau tangles aqoqana ebuchosheni.
- Uma ukhathazekile ngenkumbulo yakho noma inkumbulo yothandekayo wakho, ungesabi noma wesabe, kodwa bona udokotela womndeni wakho (udokotela) bese ukhuluma ngakho.
- Ukuqaphela isifo kusenesikhathi kuzokusiza kakhulu ekuphatheni lesi simo kangcono esikhathini esizayo.
