Ua ʻae ʻo FDA i ka lāʻau lapaʻau hou no ka maʻi maʻi liʻiliʻi

I kēia lā, hoʻolaha ka US FDA i ka ʻae ʻia o ka lāʻau lapaʻau hou o SIGA Technologies TPOXX (tecovirimat) no ka mālama ʻana i ka maʻi maʻi liʻiliʻi. He mea kūpono ke haʻi ʻia ʻo ia ka 21st lāʻau hou i ʻae ʻia e ka US FDA i kēia makahiki a ʻo ka lāʻau lapaʻau hou mua i ʻae ʻia no ka mālama ʻana i ka maʻi maʻi liʻiliʻi.

ʻAʻole e ʻike ʻia ka inoa o ka maʻi maʻi liʻiliʻi, ka poʻe heluhelu o ka ʻoihana biomedical. ʻO ka maʻi puupuu liʻiliʻi ka lāʻau lapaʻau mua i hoʻomohala ʻia e nā kānaka, a iā mākou ka mea kaua e pale ai i kēia maʻi make. Mai ka loaʻa ʻana o nā lāʻau lapaʻau liʻiliʻi, ua lanakila nā kānaka i ke kaua kūʻē i nā maʻi maʻi. I ka makahiki 1980, ua hoʻolaha ka World Health Organization ua hoʻopau mākou i ka hoʻoweliweli o ka maʻi maʻi liʻiliʻi. ʻO kēia ʻano maʻi lele, i pā nui ʻia a kamaʻilio ʻia, ua nalo mālie mai ka ʻike o nā kānaka.

Akā me ka paʻakikī o ke kūlana honua i kēia mau makahiki, ua hoʻomaka ka hopohopo o ka poʻe i hiki ke hana ʻia ka maʻi maʻi maʻi maʻi i mea kaua ola, e hoʻoweliweli ana i ke ola o ka poʻe maʻamau. No laila, ua hoʻoholo pū ka poʻe e hoʻomohala i kahi lāʻau lapaʻau e hiki ke mālama i ka maʻi maʻi liʻiliʻi inā pilikia. Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ʻo TPOXX. Ma ke ʻano he lāʻau antiviral, hiki iā ia ke kuhikuhi pono i ka hoʻolaha ʻana o ka maʻi variola i ke kino. Ma muli o kona hiki, ua hāʻawi ʻia kēia lāʻau lapaʻau hou i nā hōʻailona wikiwiki, nā loiloi loiloi mua, a me nā hōʻailona lāʻau makua ʻole.

Ua hoʻāʻo ʻia ka maikaʻi a me ka palekana o kēia lāʻau lapaʻau hou i nā hoʻāʻo holoholona a me nā kānaka. Ma nā hoʻokolohua holoholona, ​​ua lōʻihi ka ola o nā holoholona i loaʻa i ka TPOXX ma mua o ka poʻe i mālama ʻia me ka placebo ma hope o ka maʻi ʻana me ka maʻi variola. Ma nā ho'āʻo kanaka, ua kiʻi nā mea noiʻi i 359 mau limahana olakino (me ka ʻole o ka maʻi maʻi liʻiliʻi) a noi iā lākou e hoʻohana iā TPOXX. Ua hōʻike ʻia nā haʻawina ʻo nā hopena ʻaoʻao maʻamau ka maʻi poʻo, nausea, a me ka ʻeha ʻōpū me ka ʻole o nā hopena koʻikoʻi. Ma muli o ka pono i hōʻike ʻia i nā hoʻokolohua holoholona a me ka palekana i hōʻike ʻia e nā hoʻokolohua kanaka, ua ʻae ka FDA i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka lāʻau lapaʻau hou.

"I ka pane ʻana i ka pōʻino o ka bioterrorism, ua hana ʻo Congress i nā hana e hōʻoia i ka hoʻohana ʻia ʻana o nā pathogens e like me nā mea kaua, a ua hoʻomohala a ʻae mākou i nā mea kūʻē. ʻO ka ʻae ʻia o kēia lā he mea nui i kēia mau hana! ʻO ka Luna Hoʻokele FDA ʻo Scott Gottlieb Ua ʻōlelo ke kauka: “ʻO kēia ka lāʻau lapaʻau hou mua i hāʻawi ʻia i ka loiloi mua 'Material Threat Medical Countermeasure'. Hōʻike pū ka ʻae ʻia o kēia lā i ka manaʻo o ka FDA e hōʻoia ua mākaukau mākou no kahi pilikia olakino ākea a hāʻawi i ka palekana i ka manawa. ʻO nā huahana lāʻau hou maikaʻi. "

ʻOiai ua manaʻo ʻia kēia lāʻau lapaʻau hou e mālama i ka maʻi maʻi liʻiliʻi, ke manaʻo nei mākou ʻaʻole e hoʻi hou mai ka maʻi maʻi, a ke kakali nei mākou i ka lā e hoʻohana ʻole ai ke kanaka i kēia lāʻau hou.
