I-2023 Bronchiectasis Patient Conference, ehlelwa yi-European Lung Foundation, umcimbi odumile ezigulini unyaka ngamunye. Kulo nyaka sicele iziguli zethu ezimbili ezaziwuhambele ukuthi zihlanganyele ulwazi lwazo kanye nemicabango yazo ngengqungquthela, zigqamisa ukubaluleka nomthelela wayo.
Iziguli zethu zibike ukuthi le ngqungquthela ihehe ukubhaliswa kwe-1,750 emazweni angama-90, futhi phakathi nohlu lwemibuzo oluku-inthanethi, u-47% wabahlanganyeli abahlonzwe njengabaphila ne-bronchiectasis. Isethulo sikaDkt Fiona Mosgrove esithi “Ukuphila Ne-Bronchiectasis” sinikeze imininingwane ebalulekile mayelana nendlela yokuphila, ukudla okunomsoco, nempilo yengqondo, yatusa izincwadi ezimbili ukuthi ziqhubeke nokufunda.
UProf. James Chalmers uxoxe ngokwelashwa okusha okungaba khona okubandakanya i-anti-pseudomonas monoclonal antibody, ekhonjiswa ngeziqeshana zevidiyo ezihehayo. Ingqungquthela iphinde yahlanganisa ezinye izihloko ezifana nokwelashwa kwe-Phage, i-bronchiectasis ngezigaba ezahlukene zokuphila, nokubaluleka kwezingxoxo zokunakekelwa kokuphela kokuphila.
Zombili iziguli zithole ukuthi ingqungquthela iyisipiliyoni esifundisayo nesibalulekile, naphezu kokubhekana nezinkinga zobuchwepheshe kanye nezethulo ezingacacile ngenxa yalabo bunzima. Bayithokozele kakhulu inkulumo kaDkt Chalmers ehambisana nemithi emisha, kanye nengxoxo kaDkt Mosgrove ngempilo yengqondo kanye nezindlela zokususa umoya. Esinye isiguli saphawula ukuthi nakuba izifo ezihlala isikhathi eside njenge-Cronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) nesifuba somoya zishiwo, akuzange kubhekiselwe ku-Aspergillosis. Le ngqungquthela igcizelele ukubaluleka kokukhishwa kwemigudu yomoya nsuku zonke, ukuvivinya umzimba, ukuphumula, nokucwaninga okuqhubekayo ukuze uthole ukwelashwa okuphumelelayo.
Kafushane, zombili iziguli zithole iNgqungquthela Yesiguli Ye-Bronchiectasis yango-2023 njengesipiliyoni esicebisayo, esihlinzeka ngemininingwane ebalulekile kanye nezinto ezisebenzayo zokuphatha lesi simo. Naphezu kwezinkinga ezithile zobuchwepheshe, ingqungquthela iphumelele ekuqwashiseni nasekukhuthazeni umuzwa womphakathi phakathi kwabantu abaphila ne-bronchiectasis.
