"Chotero, tingati matenda a Alzheimer's ndi pafupifupi chibadwa koma anthu safuna kuthana nawo."

Sabata ino tikuwona mozama zojambula ndi zowopsa za matenda a Alzheimer's. Anthu ambiri safuna kudziwa ngati ali ndi chibadwa ndipo pazifukwa zomveka, zingakhale zoopsa. Ndi zamoyo zathu zikusintha ndikukhala ndi moyo wautali ndikukhulupirira kuti anthu akufuna kudziwa zambiri, pamene tikupeza njira zatsopano zopewera matenda a dementia ndikuyamba kuchitapo kanthu mwachangu paumoyo wathu. Izi ndizomwe zimandipangitsa kukhala wokonda kwambiri kukulitsa MemTrax chifukwa kupita patsogolo monga anthu tiyenera kuchita zonse zomwe tingathe kuti tiphunzire zambiri za matupi athu ndi malingaliro athu.

Mike McIntyre:

Ndikudabwa madokotala, tikumva za kugwirizana kwa majini pano, osachepera kugwirizana kwa banja pa nkhani ya Joan koma kodi Alzheimer's nthawi zonse Dr. Leverenz ndi Dr. Ashford? Kodi nthawi zambiri pamakhala chibadwa kapena nthawi zina zimapangitsa anthu kukhala omasuka ponena kuti "Sindinakhalepo ndi izi m'banja langa, kotero sindingathe kuzipeza."

Dr. Leverenz :

Ndikuganiza kuti tikudziwa kuti zaka ndizomwe zimayambitsa matenda a Alzheimer's. Pali zigawo zosiyanasiyana za majini, pali mabanja osowa kumene mumatengera kusintha kwa jini yomwe imayambitsa matendawa ndipo mumakhala ndi chiopsezo cha 100% ndipo anthuwo akhoza kuyamba kwambiri ngakhale m'ma 30 ndi 40 ndipo mudzawona. mbiri ya banja yolimba kwa izo. Tikuwona kuti pali zowopsa zomwe anthu amanyamula ngati APOE gene zomwe zimawonjezera chiopsezo chanu koma sizitanthauza kuti mupezadi. Ndife okondweretsedwa kwambiri ndi zinthu zowopsa zimenezo. limatiuza chiyani za matendawa. Ndikuganiza mopitilira apo kuti majini omwe ali pachiwopsezo angatiuze momwe anthu amayankhira mankhwala kotero tili ndi chidwi chokumbukira zinthu izi pamene tikupanga mankhwala abwino a Alzheimer's.

Mike McIntyre:

Dr Ashford mukuwona anthu ambiri omwe akufuna kuwunika omwe ali ndi nkhawa ndi gawo la majini komanso mumapereka bungwe lamtundu wanji?

Dr. Ashford :

Chabwino ndikuganiza kuti limodzi mwamavuto ndilakuti anthu sazindikira kufunika kwa gawo la majini. Kusiyana kwa majini omwe amapezeka m'ma 30's 40's ndi 50's ndi omwe amachitika pambuyo pake ndikuti, matendawa akabwera pambuyo pake, monga momwe zimakhalira ndi akazi, mutha kufa ndi chinthu china ngakhale mutakhala ndi zowopsa za majini. . Chifukwa chake m'lingaliro lina ndilomwe limayambitsa chiopsezo ndipo anthu safuna kudziwa za zomwe angayambitse. Pali chibadwa ichi chomwe Dr. Leverenz anatchula, APOE, ndipo pali 4 allele yomwe imakhala yochepa koma yokha imakhala ndi 60% kapena 70% ya matenda a Alzheimer's. Palinso chiopsezo china mu APOE 2 pomwe ngati anthu ali ndi 2 makope a genetic factor amatha kukhala 100 osatenga matenda a Alzheimer's. Choncho tingati matenda a Alzheimer ndi pafupifupi chibadwa koma anthu safuna kuthana nawo.

Pali zinthu zina zamtundu wina zomwe sitizimvetsetsa bwino zomwe zingachitike ngati mutakhala zaka 5 m'mbuyomu pazaka zisanu zocheperako kutengera chibadwa chanu. Kupatulapo pali zinthu zina zowopsa za anthu koma ndikuganiza kuti sititenga matenda a Alzheimer's ndipo sitingawaletse mpaka titamvetsetsa bwino zomwe APOE genetic factor ndi zinthu zina zomwe zimasintha. izo. Kotero majini kwa ine ndi ofunika kwambiri. Anthu ambiri safuna kudziwa za izi.

Mike McIntyre:

Koma sizikutanthauza kuti simungadwale Alzheimer ngati makolo anu sanatero kapena agogo anu sanatero? Inu mukhoza kukhala woyamba?

Dr. Ashford :

Ma genetic ake kuti makolo anu akhale atanyamula jini imodzi ndipo makolo onse awiri atha kukhala atanyamula imodzi mwa jini ya APOE 4 ndipo mutha kukhala ndi 2 mwa iwo kapena simunathe nawo. Chifukwa chake muyenera kudziwa mtundu weniweni wa chibadwa, osati mbiri ya banja lanu yokha.

Thandizani zoyeserera zathu za Alzheimer's ndikuyika ndalama muubongo wanu. Lowani ku akaunti ya MemTrax ndikuthandizira ku cholinga chabwino. Dr. Ashford akukulimbikitsani kuti muyesere kuyesa kukumbukira pa intaneti kamodzi pamwezi koma mutha kuyesa mayeso atsopano sabata iliyonse kapena tsiku lililonse.
