Waa maxay cillada naaso bararka?

-Cilladaan waxaa caafimaad ahaan loo yaqaannaa "#Gynecomastia" oo ah macnaheeda naasaha oo weynaada 

 ragga intaba.

Cilladaan waxay ka timaadaa khalal ku dhaca hormoonnada ragga khaas ahaan labada hormoon ee loo kala yaqaanno "#Estrogen" iyo "#Testosterone".

Naaso bararka wuxuu ku dhici kartaa hal ama labada naas, marmarka qaar way kala weynaan karaan, qofkana wuxuu dareemi karaa danqasho naasaha ah.

Marmarka qaar waxaa dhici karto in ibta naasaha ay ka yimaadaan dheecaan ama qoyaan yar.

👉Maxay dhibaato caafimaad ay keeni karaan?

Cilladaan ma ahan mid halis oo qofka caafimaadkiisa dhibaato u geysan karto laakiin waxay qofka u saameyn kartaa nafsiyan maadaama uusan qofka fikrad ka heysan cilladaan, badanaa dhalinyarada way ka xishoodaan inay qof u sheegaan ama dhakhtar ay la tashtaan.

Xishoodka siyaada

da ah waxay keentaa in qofka uu qarsado uuna iska ilaaliyo inuu dhexgalo bulshada si aan loo fahmin ama la ciyaaro dhalinyarada kale khaas ahaan ciyaaraha jimicsiga, dabaasha IWM.

Badanaa xilliga qaangaarka ayay ku badan tahay wiilasha, wayna iska baaba'daa daawo la'aan laakiin haddii ay sii jirto ama joogto noqoto waa in daawo loo raadsado.

Cillada ugu weyn waxay ka timaadaa markii uu yaraado hormoonka loo yaqaanno "#Testosterone" ama uu bato hormoonka "#Estrogen".

👉Waa maxay daawooyinka naasaha barariya?

Waxa ugu badan ee khalkhalka galin karo heerarka hormoonadaa waxaa ugu badan daawooyinka, khaas ahaan kuwaan hoos ku xusan:

1- Daawooyinka loo qaato qanjirka borostaatada, akhriso waxa qanjirka prostate-ka uu yahay: 

2- Daawada kaadida dareerisa ee loo yaqaanno "#Spironolactone" oo la siiyo dadka ay caloosha ama jirka kale biyaha ka galaan

3- Daawooyinka loo qaato AIDS-ka

4- Daawooyinka welwelka ama hurdo la'aanta loo qaato sida "#Diazepam-ka"

5- Daawooyinka diiqada iyo niyad jabka loo qaato sida "#Amitryptaline"

6- Daawooyinka qallajiyayaasha qaar "#Antibiotics"

7- Daawada gaaska loo qaato ee magaceeda la yiraahdo "#Cimetidine"

8- Daawooyinka kansarka loo qaato "Chemotherapy"

9- Daawooyinka wadnaha loo gaato ee "#Digoxin" iyo kuwa dhiig-karka yareeya ee loo yaqaanno "#Clacium_channel_blockers"

👉Waa maxay xanuunada naasaha barariya?

Xanuunada ay la socon karaan naaso bararka ragga waxaa ka mid ah:

1- Cillad lagu dhasho ee hormoonnada la xiriirto

2- Cayilka iyo duqnimada, ragga da'da ah oo cayilan waa lagu arkaa xaaladdaan.

3- Burooyinka ka soo baxo xiniinyaha ama qanjirrada hormoonnada kontoroola

4- Kacsanaanta qanjirka thyroidka

 6- Howlgabka beerka.

7- Nafaqo-darrada iyo gaajada

Waxaa jiro daawo dhireedyo dhowr ah oo shaah ahaan loo cabo, qaarne shaambooyin iyo saabuunno laga sameeyay oo la arkay in naasaha ay barariyaan sidaa awgeed haddaa rabtid in aad geedo daaweed isticmaasho la tasho takhtarkaaga.

👉Sidee loo baaraa naaso bararka?

Dhakhtarka wuu ku waraysan doonaa, haddii ay jiraan wax daawo ah aad isticmaashay ama haddii aad xanuuno kale aad qabtid oo keeni kara cilladaan, kadib wuxuu kuu diri doonaa baaritaanno dhiig iyo qalabka computer oo naasaha la saaro, way dhici kartaa in uu takhtarka u baahdo baaritaanno dheeraad ah sida in xaniinyaha la baaro, maskaxda qanjirrada ku jiro la fiiriyo.

Waa muhiim in la kala sooco waxyaabah u ekaan karo bararkaan sida kansarka ku dhaca naasaha, naasaha baruurta leh iyo caabuq barariyay naaska intaba.

👉Sidee loo daaweeyaa naaso bararka?

Badanaa xaaladaan uma baahna daawo way iska baaba'daa laakiin haddii ay xanuun keento ama bararka uu sii kordhayo ama qofka ay dhibaato muuqaaleed ku hayso waa in laga daaweeyaa iyadoo la siinayo daawooyin loogu tala galay.

Waxaa kaloo muhiim ah in qofka laga daaweeyo xanuuanda kale ee keeni kara cilladaan, lagana fogaado daawooyinka naasaha barariyo.

marmarka qaar daawooyinka waxba ma taraan oo qofka wuxuu u baahan karaa in la qalo oo qanjirrada ama baruurta naasaha ku samaysantay la soo saaro.

Waa muhiim haddii aad xilliga qaangaarka ku jirtid in aad arintaan u fahantid wax si dabiici ku imaan kara, haddii ay dhibaato kaa haysato xagga la dhaqanka bulshada, xilliga iskuulka ama waqtiga ciyaaraha waa in aad la tashataa waalidiintaada iyo macallimiinta.

Lahaanshaha sawirkawadan lagu dabiibo caabuqayada ee lagu magacaabo dexamethasone waxaa lagu tilmaamay inay horseedi karto daweynta bukaannada la xanuunsanaya ee sida weyn uu u hayo cudurkan Covid-19.

Tijaabo lagu sameeyay UK ayaa muujinaysa in dawadan ay nolosha dadka badbaadin karto, islamarkiina lagu isticmaali karo isbitaallada dalkaasi ee NHS.

Dawadan maxay tahay?

Dexamethasone waa dawo raqiis ah oo la isku duro ama kaniini la liqo - oo dajisa caabuqyada ka dhasha hurmuunaat-ka ama difaaca jirka.

Sidey dawadan u shaqeysaa?

Dawadu waxa ay hoos u dhigtaa hannaanka difaaca jirka.

Fayraska korona ayaa waxa uu kiciyaa caabuq xilli jirku uu iskudayayo inuu iska difaaco.

Hasayeeshee mararka qaar hannaanka difaaca ee jirka ayaa aad u falceliya, falcelintaas ayeyna dhibaato ka dhalan kartaa oo unugyadii loogu talagalay inay jirka caabuqa ka difaacaan ayaa marka dambe waxa ay dib u soo weerraraan isla unugyadii jirka.

Dexamethasone waxa ay dajisaa saameyntaas.

Dawadan waxaa la siin karaa oo kaliya dadka isbitaallada ku jira ee ay ku xiran yihiin qalabka iyo mishiinnada lagu neefsado, dadkaasna waa dadka liita.

Dawadan laguma dabiibi karo dadka aanay xaaladooda cuslayn, in xilligan awood badan la saaro hannaankooda difaacana ma caawin doonto bukaannadaas.

Lahaanshaha sawirkaGETTY IMAGES

Waa sidee waxtarkeeda?

Saynisyahannada tijaabinayay dawadan ayaa sheegaya in ay wax weyn ka tareyso yareynta bukaannada la ildaran xanuunka oo saddexdii qof ee qalabka neefsiga u baahan ay suurtagal tahay in midkood uu ka badbaado haddii la siiyo dawadan.

Halka bukaannada ogsijiinka lagu xiray mid ka mid ah shantiiba ay badbaadin karto.

Tijaabada la sameeyay ayaa lagu ogaaday in wax weyn aysan u tarayn dadka caadiga u neefsanaya.

Tijaabadu maxay ahayd?

Tijaabadani oo ay sameysay Jaamacadda Oxford ayaa lagu eegayay in dawooyinka xanuunnada kale loo isticmaalo lagu tijaabiyo cudurkan Covid-19.

Qiyaastii 2,100 qof oo ah bukaanno la xanuunsan cudurkan ayaa maalintiiba la siinayay 6mg oo ah dawadan dexamethasone muddo toban maalmood ah.

Bukaannadaasi ayaa la eegayay soo kabashadooda marka loo eego 4,300 oo bukaanno kale ah oo aan dawadaasi la siin.

Saynisyahannadu waxay rajeynayaan in mustaqbalka dawadan dexamethasone ay qayb ka noqon karto dawooyinka lagula tacaalo cudurkan.

Haatan waxay khubaradu ku talinayaan in lagu daweeyo bukaannada qaangaarka ah ee la xanuunsan cudurkan balse laga ilaaliyo dumarka uurka leh iyo kuwa naas nuujinaya dhallaanka.

Dawadan ma tahay mid meel walba laga heli karo?

Dawada dexamethasone waa dawo qiimo jaban oo markii horeba dunida laga isticmaalayay, helideedana ay sahlan tahay.

Dowladda ayaa waxaa ay sheegtay in keyd fiican oo daawadaas uu haatan yaal, laguna daweyn karo dad gaaraya laba boqol oo kun oo qof, kaddib markii lagu guuleystay tijaabadii lagu sameeyay.

Dalka Ingiriiska, waxaa bukaankii ba uu uu ku iibsna karaan lacag dhan lix gini, daweynteedana ay qaadan karto muddo toban cisha ah.

Daawadan ayaa markii ugu horreysay la sameeyay sanadkii 1957, waxaana dalka Britain laga isticmaalay sanadkii 1960.

Shirkado badan oo dunida ayaa sameeya, waana taas sababa looga helo meela badan oo dunida ah.

Tallaabadan waxay u wanaagsan tahay dalalka soo koraya ee adduunka, waxaana soo dhaweeyay Hay'adda Caafimaadka Adduunka ee WHO.

Wakaaladda caafimaadka iyo daryeelka bulshada ayaa sheegtay in dawadaas lagu daray liiska dawooyinka aanan laga dhofin karin Ingiriiska.

Lahaanshaha sawirkaJUSTIN TALLIS/AFP

Maxay yihiin xaaladaha kale ee dawadan loo isticmaalo?

Dawadu waxa ay kaa caawin kartaa daweynta cudurro kala duwan ee la xiriira caabuqa ama bararka jirka, ama xaaladaha habka difaaca jirku uu u bato - tusaale ahaan, neef aad u daran oo sababi karta caabuq ku yimaada marinnada hawada iyo sambabbada, xasaasiyad daran ama kalagoysyada oo barara.

Maxay yihiin waxyeellada kale ee ay dawadan leedahay?

Dawadan dexamethasone caadiyan waxyaabaha ay sababi karto waxaa ka mid ah walaac, hurdada oo qofka ku adkaata, culayska oo qofka ku kordha iyo waxyaabo kale.

Waxyeelooyinka dhifta ah waxaa ka mid ah xanuunnada indha, aragga oo xumaada iyo dhiigfuran.

Si kastaba ha noqotee, bukaannada coronavirus waxay u baahan yihiin oo keliya qiyaas yar oo xadidi karto waxyeelooyinka ay leedahay.

Sarkaalka ugu sareeya caafimaadka England wuxuu yiri "ma jiraan waxyeelloyin xad-dhaaf ah oo loo aqoonsaday isticmaalka qiyaas ka mida dexamethasone oo bukaanka ay gaadhsiin karto".

"Wixii hore udhacay dib baan ka hagaajin." Jilayaasha reer Burco ee ugu horeeya jiilkan oo markale usoo heesay midnimada Soomaaliyeed.🇸🇴

5 easy steps to become a better medical student.

I recently had quite a long conversation with a college senior that was just accepted into medical school for this coming fall.

As a rising second year medical student myself, I would like to think that I have navigated the waters of academia and figured out both efficient paths to success and avoidance of roadblocks and setbacks. However, I was quite overwhelmed with the number of questions and concerns that this particular student had. 

After answering all of his questions, I realized that many soon-to-be first years may not have the advantage of mentors or advisers. Lacking guidance, students are willing or forced to charge forward and hope for the best. These are the same students that suffer the inevitable fatigue and burnout. But I believe that there is a smart and efficient way to approach medical school. That is not to say there are any shortcuts or cheats. Rather, I wanted to share with you my advice on 5 easy steps to being a better medical student from day 1.

1. Be willing to be selfish. You must be willing to prioritize personal time and to continue to do the unique things that make you who you are. And trust me, the time can be found in any rigorous program. Doctors aren’t robots, and you should never plan to train like one. Medical school must be a time for you to continue to develop your hobbies and your personality. These are the individual characteristics that will make your patients love you one day. More importantly, these are the activities that will keep you both sane and free from stress.

2. Get 8 hours of sleep. No debating this one. First the benefits – you will study better, be healthier, and feel happier. There are enough distractions and obstacles built into the medical education that you should not be adding to the list. Sleeping in class, rereading text, and mental sluggishness are not paths to engaging the curriculum. Turn off the light, set your alarm, and keep track of your sleeping schedule. After all – you are training to be a doctor who will one day advise patients on healthy practices. Limit the sacrifices you make in your own health along the way. Healthy eating and regular exercise follow, as well.

3. Subscribe to just one health policy daily email or news blog. Medicine, particularly in the modern world, has much importance beyond the realm of clinical information. As a doctor, you will one day be called to be a leader, and your understanding of health policy and health systems will drive your success. You do not have to understand every sentence, or even read every word. But be open to absorbing what you can so you will be better aware of health care on-goings. The future of medicine is in dynamic health delivery systems. While you’re cramming over the Krebs cycle, take a five minute break to review the latest info on real-world medicine issues. ACOs are being built and discussed right now – embrace that change and learn as the systems are being designed.  Read during rounds when your attending is off ranting about something esoteric and his back is turned. Read it while your on the bus or in the bathroom. Again, time can be found if you look for it.

4. Study smart. There is a difference between studying for a test and studying to be a doctor. While these two goals sometimes coincide, they are often very different in nature. I find that, for some reason, medical students have difficulty wrapping there minds around this concept. Here is what I mean – medical students often look to prepare for exams as if they need to know everything about a given subject. Buying multiple textbooks and review guides is more than common. Gaining this knowledge is the right thing to do, and will make them a better doctor in the long run. But it may distract you from your goal of doing your best on given test – and worse, it may lead to burnout. If an exam has questions that are drawn from lecture, then information outside of lecture is irrelevant for the scope of that test. You need to make a personal decision as to how much supplemental information you need to be successful. I’m not telling you to take any shortcuts in learning medicine, I am telling you to be prepared for what matters. You have at least 7 years to go through medical school and residency, and then a lifetime to practice. You cannot possibly learn everything in a day, month, or year. Don’t sweat the details during your first year, anymore than is already forced on you.

5. Smile. As easy as this simple act sounds, this may be the most difficult of my suggestions. But stick with me! I am a firm believer in the power of positivity and confidence. You will get through medical school. That is not in question. But you have a choice as to HOW you get through medical school – to complain, suffer, and grieve through the process … or to enjoy the ride. I believe that smiling, appreciating the best that you have, and keeping a positive attitude effects you in two ways. In the first, you will have the advantage of internal confidence and lower stress. From a medical standpoint, you will be less rattled on test day and benefit from decreased cortisol – both can go a long way! The second effect of positivity is the external impact you will have on those around you. How do you think nurses respond to medical students that complain or look upset during morning rounds. I know that a genuine smile and greeting has led to nurses and residents that have been willing to go the extra mile to offer me support. How do you think an attending or residency coordinator will respond to the stolid student, versus the upbeat one? The truth is that letting in negativity and suffering through complaint are a means of externally expressing defeat. You do not want to be that kind of medical student. Smile, you are living your dream!

I genuinely want all of you to do well, and to be great and successful doctors. After reading many other medical school advice posts on more tangible or “hard” skills, I wanted to offer a different perspective. As always, you have to do what works best for you, and everyone will find success with different methods. But I do hope that some of my advice gives you a different perspective on how to achieve that success.
